  1. Also I feel Madison Bumgardner has his best and very very good years behind him and I was not terrible interested in signing him either as I felt that purely equal value in numbers could be found elswhere
  2. To be honest, as a fan, I don't want to hear about how we will do something at the trade deadline. Also to be fair, I have no interest in spending that money on Ryu due to his injury history, and the same applies to Stasburg. Cole was never realistic at 300 million plus. Wheeler in my opinion was the best bet out of all of them to succeed at the contract. He is the one we missed. If it were up to me I would sign Walker and Wood and Donaldson and try to trade for somebody like Jon Gray.
  3. Isnt Maybin the Yankee who openly mocked Dobnak on Twitter after the series? If so, I think I'll pass.
  4. I really like that. I think too much on the trade but I would be good with it
  5. I would personally pass on Yates for that price for a trade. Would rather see Brusdar in the pen and then sign Will Smith. Leave Yates and Kinzler for other teams. If you sign Will Smith for 3yrs/48 mil instead of trading for Yates and signing Kinzler your payroll is still only around 138 mil
  6. Price shouldnt be an issue. If you guess that Grandel gets 20mil a yr, and we sign him instead of cron, then you are basically not paying Cron 8 mil and your not signing Castro back at 6 mil a yr. So you are looking at upgrading to Grandel at the cost of 6 mil for next yr. Not sure of future years but for next year? I would be a fan. Plus, the roster flexibility would be incredible. Assuming Willians is the 26th man we would have 3 players for catcher 6 for first base 4 for second base 2 for ss 4 for third base 4 for left 3 for center 3 for right 4 for DH Essentially the only position player tied to a single position would be cruz at DH. You could make the argument Polonco could only play short but I would be surprised not to see him at second base at all
  7. I still love the thought of not signing Cron or Castro and instead signing Yasmani Grandel. Garver could play first as could Grandel as could Sano. Third base could ve covered by a combination of players currently on the roster. But....i suppose the money is better spent on pitching
  8. He would primarily play catcher. He played first base for the Brewers this year. Garver and Sano could also play first base
  9. I still think you let Cron and Castro walk. Assuming Yasmani Grandel mutual option is declined by either him or the brewers, sign him. You then have one of the most flexible rosters in MLB with a bench of: Marwin Adrianza Williams Austidillo Cave/Wade
  10. At this point, there is an excellent chance that The best Twins pitcher, Taylor Rogers wont even pitch in the series
  11. If I had tickets to Monday's game I would be scalping them for whatever I could. I hate the yankees way to much to watch them clinch. Its just not worth it.
  12. How good would the twins catchers be if they signed Yasmoni Grandel? Can you imagine him anf Garver sharing duties?
  13. Is Randy Dobnak this years' Les Streaker? Where did Dobnak come from? ( I mean I know but still) is he for real or is this a scott diamond year?
  14. After relooking at who was voted though, Zack Neff would be the only one I wouldnt rank in the top 5 as his competition level was lower as was his K rate and his WHIP was higher and his ERA was higher as well
  15. I am very surprised Tom Hackimer didnt get ranked higher. That K rate combined with low hit rate makes for a steller season.
  16. We won this game but I truly dont think there is anything to celebrate. We lost the series to the White sox and are in grave danger of losing a series to Detroit. If we cant find a way to beat these teams how is this team going to beat the other play off teams? This team has been playing flat for awhile now and if they dont figure out a way to go on a prolonged run of playing better play offs could very well be a moot point
  17. I dare to believe that you would be hard pressed to find a Twins fan who is unaware of the fact that the Twins are on Grienke's no trade list. It has been thoroughly documented
  18. I would be thrilled if the Twins got Grienke and Ray and moved Perez and Pineda to the bullpen. If they took on all the money the prospect cost might not be that bad.
  19. I think many of us need to put this trade in perspective. This is more about improving depth in the minor league system than it is about acquiring a shut down reliever. We got a fifth rd draft pick that has shown some intreging early returns for someone who we very well could have lost in Nov. That makes the trade worth it. On top of that we got a MLB 3 time world series champion reliever who can soak up innings down the stretch and who has invalubale expierience. Doesnt mean he wins the world series for us or even pushes the needle. See the trade for what it is On top of that we got PTBNL which is a total shot in the dark. All for someone who we would have lost for 25 grand in the rule 5 draft in Nov
  20. I am much more excited about the minor league pitcher than I am about Sergio
  21. I would love to see the twins add Giles then a second tier reliever maybe a rental in the good not great range and then get somebody like Robbie Ray from the Dbacks and bounce either Pineda or Perez to the pen
  22. And the Twins are only 2 games ahead of Cleveland now
  23. I would like Robbie Ray from the Dbacks and Giles from the jays. I would be thrilled if there could be a Ray Grienke combo trade plus Giles Yes I know the Twins are on his no trade list but still...
