  1. I think one of these guys would be great adds late in the offseason to compete for the 5th starter role. The prerequisite would be to trade for a 3rd starter or better.
  2. Saw Parasite recently. Lived up to the hype! Very very good. Funny, bitter sweet, lots of feels. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/parasite_2019 Saw Knives out earlier this week. I want to invite Benoit Blanc to my next family reunion. Fantastic film! My favorite this year. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/knives_out
  3. 144 TDers banging their own drum It’s a very TD Scrum team!
  4. nope, he wasn’t available for everyone before he accepted the QO. Free agents don’t open up to the other teams until after the QO is rejected. Edit: I’ve been corrected twice below in the thread. I admit being wrong.
  5. How disappointing! 4 80 seems very reasonable compared to the earlier signings of the offseason. There had better be one heck of a trade upcoming
  6. I’m a fan of the “out getter” concept ala Milwaukee. This has also been brought up here as your 5th spot in the rotation being two swing man types to pitch the whole game and save your high leverage pitchers for other situations.
  7. I like the AND there!
  8. I like the idea of signing a 5th starter with upside (Walker is a good candidate or whomever) as long as the FO gets a front of rotation starter. Even if both of those things happen, Dobnak and the other current 4-5 starters will get a healthy number of big league starts in 2020
  9. So that means Ryu will sign for what? 4 years 76 to 5 years 98?
  10. Join that convo here! http://twinsdaily.com/topic/35914-tigers-sign-schoop-and-cron/?do=findComment&comment=944166
  11. I’m totally with you on trades (and apparently the FO) if you can make occasional free agent moves to push you up a notch on competitiveness and hang on to prospects. With the rotation as it is, adding one big-pitcher to an already good rotation increases odds a lot.
  12. I do believe they have a plan. Time will tell if they can execute (or not) but there is a plan. I'm confident of it.
  13. This! The window can’t get much wider.
  14. my Google Translate attributed the source as “port of Blythe”. I didn’t know a UK Port would care so much about American Baseball ahead of Brexit!
  15. I hope your son flies safely tomorrow and on-time.
  16. Flying Squirrel - hee hee I'm easily amused
  17. I'm not sure Keuchel is an innings eater on this Twins Roster. The infield isn't very good, and will limit his ability to get get outs. With that in mind, Ryu is my preference, higher K rate, higher flyball rate, lower ground ball rate seems to follow more of the Odorizzi mold and fits really well with Buxton and Kepler patrolling the outfield.
  18. more chatter around Cleveland trading Lindor per Feinsand
  19. Dobnak and Smeltzer. Even if the FO swings a trade or signs Ryu, both Dobnak and Smeltzer will each get 10-20 starts at minimum. Injuries will happen, and Pineda is missing the first 39 games or something. With Berrios and Pineda under contract for 2021, both of those two need to take control of the middle of the rotation.
  20. Agreed, I don't think it was money that deterred the FO. It may be also that Doogie might have over reacted a bit to his source telling him they were in on Yamaguchi.
  21. Pittsburgh has a new manager and pitching coach. Wouldn't they want to see what Oscar Marin can do with him before cutting bait? I'm guessing the return will be higher than anticipated, being Pittsburgh gave up a ton to get Archer.
