    I expected to see some mid-1990s Twins on the list but there weren't any. Was surprised to look up Frankie Rodriguez and see him as a postive WAR contributor. Betting he shows up on the negative WAA list (-2.7).
  2. DJL44
    Woods-Richardson is the 6th starter at the moment. They can upgrade the rotation at the deadline (though the last time they did was Mahle and people universally hate that trade) but they need another starter before opening day.
  3. DJL44
    They clearanced out a ton of them really cheap at the State Fair. How else are you going to get a Twins jersey for $5?
  4. DJL44
    Hope is not a plan.
  5. DJL44
    Most of them are already gone. Montgomery and Snell are all that remains. Neither one is looking to sign with the Twins.
  6. DJL44
    The Twins weren't going to give Pressly a high dollar contract extension.
  7. DJL44
    Better than a "projectable build".
  8. DJL44
    One silver lining, Nick Gordon is more likely to pass through waivers at $1.25M than at $900k. It would make him easier to stash in St. Paul.
  9. DJL44
    I think the complete bust potential for the #8 pick is like 30%. An average starting position player in MLB getting paid during his cost-controlled seasons has like $80M in excess future value.
  10. DJL44
    In other Twins news, this looks like it will be Torii Hunter's last season on the ballot as well. He's tracking to fall below 5%.
  11. DJL44
    Jeffers is not going to break the bank. MLB makes over $10.5B in revenue. 48% of local revenue and 100% of national revenue is shared among all 30 teams. There is shared revenue of at least $200M into the foreseeable future. Target Field has never drawn less than 1.8M fans outside of a pandemic year. The Twins will have revenues over $250M even if they decide to make TV broadcasts free on their website. I am really tired of the local TV contract becoming the excuse for everything.
  12. DJL44
    A little disappointed they didn't give Jeffers a long-term contract to buy out arbitration.
  13. DJL44
    The Mariners would definitely trade DeSclafani. If they want another depth starter they can acquire one just as good (or possibly better) for the same price in free agency. If I was Seattle and could dump DeSclafani, add James Paxton and save $4M I would do that in a heartbeat. I think it is funny how this poster keeps talking about how Seattle is "unlikely to trade" their players when Jerry DiPoto is known for trading anyone and everyone. His nickname is the "high volume trader".
  14. DJL44
    Good point. Camargo was a miss for this article. Though he might not be considered a "top prospect" he's pretty certain to make his debut.
  15. DJL44
    Descalfini is not worth much trade value with a contract that is pretty much market rate. They can find a free agent with a similar projection for similar money (or less). That means he wouldn't be the target of the trade but could be useful to balance out money if they send Polanco to Seattle.
  16. DJL44
    I like this take. There are very few players who had everything go right for them during their career. Mantle had the knee injury. Williams and Mays spent time in military service. Griffey Jr. tore his hamstring. Nearly everyone has challenges to overcome.
  17. DJL44
    Gosh I hope so because injured Alex Kirilloff is not worth having on a roster.
  18. DJL44
    There is no way Molina's defense could make up for the gap in offense between him and Mauer or Posey. He'd have to be more responsible for run prevention than the pitchers and fielders.
  19. DJL44
    You can't refer to the current minor league team in Indianapolis. This site won't allow it.
  20. DJL44
    Brooks Lee is probably ready for MLB from one side of the plate. I would rather see them develop him as a complete switch hitter than rush him to the majors and make him a platoon player. That is going to take time because reps against LHP are less available. I would love to see him face every lefty they have in camp during spring training. Force feed him to speed up the process.
  21. DJL44
    Let's see if Ober can be productive this season before we count our chickens.
  22. DJL44
    So did Mauer
  23. DJL44
    The simple solution is to keep Polanco and move Julien to 1B. That gets both bats in the lineup.
  24. DJL44
    I keep waiting for the announcement that they have convinced Carlos Correa to waive his no-trade clause and he's being sent to a team with a bigger payroll. That might be next winter to make room for Brooks Lee.
  25. DJL44
    Molina is so underrated he's overrated
