    I think more likely a Trout type of deal, after next yr sign him to a 6-8 yr deal in the neighborhood of $25 Million per yr(end of contract age 28-30) and hope to sign to an extension with a yr or 2 left in the $35-40 million a yr range, that doesnt exceed his age 37 season. IMO

    No that was Mauer's second contract, he was coming off a 4 yr deal. It was after his 3rd yr and he was up for Arb that they signed him to a 4 yr $33 million dollar deal. Then signed his extension in Feb 2010 for season 2011-18 at 23 million a yr.

    Wish the manager would send a message, take Arcia out of the game, he nonchalants(sp?) all the time, he and the team are not good enough for ANY of that, SEND A MESSAGE Molitor!!!!!!!!! Errors are part of the game , but not that kind of error, Im PISSED!!!!!
  4. blairpaul715
    Since we ground into seemingly multiple double plays a game , when we DO have runners, why not safety squeeze a run in or try, if not for the error and bobbled ball, the last 3 batters all would have hit into a double play.........I definitely like Molitor, never was a fan of Gardenhire, but it is pretty much same old same old.

    I see I could get Legend section seats, with access to the Legends Club Lounge , has anyone tried this, I am looking to take my elderly father, and I think he might like this, but is there anything to know before going into the Legends Club, so I or we wont feel out of place??? Thanks

    What is the status of Wimmers???? He hasnt played and they have already used 6 starting pitchers.......just curious, i was/am hoping for good things for and from him.
  7. blairpaul715
    I know i could wait for the thread for todays games that will come up tonight or tomorrow morning, but any reason that Wimmers didnt start at Chattanooga today????
  8. blairpaul715
    Well not quite like Gardy, cuz if it was Gardy he wouldnt come out for the 8th, but let him finish or at least give up 2 baserunners before replacing him, one hit doesnt necessarily mean he is no longer on a roll......gotta roll your eyes sometimes, hope it works out..........he was at 100 so i could understand the 9th.
  9. blairpaul715
    Bryan Haar has started on DL for Ft Myers so Kepler was sent down to get to 25 players on Chattanooga, per Ft Myers Miracle radio

    I like how they do the schedule, do you like it or not?
  11. blairpaul715
    I definitely agree with the Dean equation, dont know enough about Diaz, but I think Pryor has a shot at being respectable, but , like many ,I am hoping if after a month or so , if these guys are failing we bring up some of the AA blood
  12. blairpaul715
    Dude!!!!!! I want the Twins to be good, but now when i go, the ticket prices are reasonable for good seats even And i use Ticket King cheaper than stubhub and seat geek.
  13. blairpaul715
    I think you are mistaking him for Tyler Grimes, he retired at the end of spring training.

    Hi, i dont post much at all, but i like reading everyones posts and opinions, and I will write one here LOL................I dont think it is that May and Meyer are saviors, but people , including myself want to see what we have, and if it dont work out, we can temporarily replace them with someone else from the Minors with potential, and then also there are always guys in the scrap pile(the Pelphreys, Correias , ect ect) that are available short term, if we need that for a last resort.......with that said, i am fairly optimistic that we can be a close to 500 team............On the Hicks front , i was hoping he would make it and succeed, but he has been given his chance and I dont mind if he didnt make it that we went with a possible platoon system, since Buxton should be here in a year or so, and Rosario possibly too. There is my 2 cents

    Who gets cut?

    Ashbury, the date is June 16th

    Dozier will be 28 this yr, that would mean he would be entering age 32 season his FA yr , not 29.
  17. blairpaul715
    I also would like to see a few of these players up a level; Garver up a level to see if he can keep hitting, Stuart has starting hitting recently , so may not be a need to move Garver up except for him to see better pitching...........I know both Garver and Stuart were up for college catcher of the year last year, does anyone know what separates them as prospects??..............................I'd love to see Berrios at AA, but don't think it will happen, or even should, he has far exceeded my expectations, and I , for one am happy about that ............................And I wouldn't mind any of the promotions you have from AA to AAA and AAA to majors, just know they all wont happen, but a few would be nice...........by the way anyone reading this, I LOVE TWINS DAILY!!!!! LOL

    Any insight as to the reason Turner was gone for a few days or more?
  19. blairpaul715
    If we had the first pick, this would be my guy.......so of course, i would hope he drops to us.........I know Kolek has tremendous potential, but i don't want him, to much of an injury waiting to happen, plus he is not considered athletic, and I don't think he will be able to find his command.(all this on not seeing him, just reading reports and what others have said, just doesn't feel right to me) My Top 4 for me.....1 Jackson 2 Rodon 3 Aiken 4 Gordon.
  20. blairpaul715
    Well, one of the ways to combat this is to hit mistake pitches, I don't know how many times on the 1st and or 2nd pitch, that the ball is in his wheelhouse and he lets it go by..........that has always been disturbing to me, but he has always hit well , so it was no big deal, now that teams are shifting on him, after strike 1 and or strike 2, they keep hitting the outside forcing him to roll over a grounder or hit into the shift............I think the best remedy to this is to hit on first or second pitches more...........I think most of the bashing is because he shows no emotion and most people feel that showing emotion, is caring, even if not true.
  21. blairpaul715
    Well darin617, I will be saying the same thing if they don't do something once these 2 guys make it to the big leagues, and you may be right about only wanting to make money. And I do think these guys would take a 8 yr contract out of the shoot, as they both would be in there prime when contract runs out(28-29yrs old) and be in line for a mega contract in the 10 yr $350 million deal if they are as good as advertised...........Now what supfin99 proposes (12 yr contract) wouldn't fly, IMO.
  22. blairpaul715
    As much as I would like to Twins to try this route, it wont happen, if they didn't do longer term for Mauer(and maybe that is how Mauer wanted it), they wont do it for a none homegrown talent, even if it is off the charts. But we can dream, and if they were to only do it for one, I also would be more inclined to do it for Buxton than Sano..........in this day of high dollar signings as draftees and Dominican FA's not as much incentive to sign team friendly deals, cuz they are close to set already without having give to friendly of deal discounts for there home team.
  23. blairpaul715
    If I was Sano's agent, I would take a contract similar to this, but with with either less option yrs, or the option yrs starting 2 yrs sooner. So I will breakdown, my counterproposal(if I were Sano's agent) LOL Signing bonus $3 mill 1: $500,000 2: $750,000 3: $1.5 mill 4: $4.0 mill 5: $6.0 mill 6: $8.0 mill 7: $15.0 mill(team option) 8: $18.0 mill(team option) This guarantees ONLY(lol) $23.75 mill, and if Twins like him, after the 2 option yrs $56.75 million, so they can still have him for 8 yrs. In your scenario(I don't dislike it) but if he was or is a bust, you are guaranteeing $40 million. I like the discussion. I think it would be a win win, Twins guarantee 8 yrs if they like what they see, and only out 23.75 mill, compared to 40 mill if he doesn't pan out. And for Sano, he is still guaranteed life altering money, but still will be young enough(28) when contract over for his once in a lifetime contract if he is what he could be. Going to Dodgers for 10 yrs $350 mill, lol. Remember I wrote here first, lol, come back in 10 yrs see if I am right

    So changing managers wont change the way the team plays??? So Baltimore shouldn't have fired the manager they had before Showalter? Or Boston should have kept Valentine?? Cuz I am sure both the manager before Showalter(and I don't remember who it was) and Valentine don't know how to coach. I think it is time for a new manager, whether who we hire is better or not, but I don't want Gardenhire managing the new blood coming thru the system. Its the Twins way or no way it seems, like they did to Gomez, don't go for the fences, hit it the other way, look at him now, I think it was the same for Ortiz, but I really don't remember that. I am just tired of the monotone Twins every single day. And if it makes anyone feel any better or worse, Tom Kelly wasn't a good manager either, they were player managers, but I don't feel they were good game managers. I am a Twins fan, but the Twins won those years because of home field advantage. Great at home and just barely good enough on the road.

    Just for comparison, here is my order. 1 Buxton 2 Sano 3 Stewart 4 Gibson 5 Meyer 6 Minier 7 Rosario 8 Berrios 9 Kepler 10 May 11 Polanco 12 Micheal Tonkin 13 Harrison 14 Vargas 15 Josmil Pinto 16 Wimmers 17 Danny Ortiz 18 Adam Brett Walker 19 Levi Micheal(still have hopes that injuries are behind him and he still will be a productive hitter) 20 Eades.
