    It says you haven't signed many bad free agents. Teams make free agent signings worse than Vazquez all the time.

    Ricardo Olivar in May: .330/.419/.582 and just 15K in 105PA. Plus, he plays catcher.
  4. DJL44
    This is a defensible position. He has little left to learn in AAA but he's not doing enough to keep his MLB roster spot.
  5. DJL44
    Castro is both which gives you flexibility to cut either.
  6. DJL44
    I hope someone else believes this. Margot's best hitting season is a 104 OPS+ and his career line is a 90 OPS+. He's always been known as a glove-first outfielder but he's slower now and not covering as much range. He might catch fire and be adequate but that's the upside. The downside we've already seen for the first 6 weeks of the season.

    If I had to create a current depth chart for the Twins current outfield talent it would go Kepler Buxton Castro Larnach Kirilloff Martin Margot Keirsey Rodriguez (and he's going to move past most of those guys soon) Wallner
  8. DJL44
    Olivar is hitting nearly as well as Keaschall did at the same level. Will he be ready when the Vazquez contract is over?
  9. DJL44
    Best case scenario is a team with no outfield depth looks at Margot's productivity during the last week and decides it's worth taking on a million dollars of his salary to acquire him. Twins send Margot and cash for a low level prospect.
  10. DJL44
    5 years before the cutoff here
  11. DJL44
    They should definitely replace the GM if they don't trust themselves to make a good trade.
  12. DJL44
    Gallo was a bad signing when it was announced. The last thing the Twins needed on the roster was another LH outfield bat. His performance was as bad as most predicted.
  13. DJL44
    None of these are that bad. Most are only 1 year deals which helps. They also were able to mitigate the downside on the Donaldson contract. Look at Colorado's signing of Kris Bryant which will devastate their franchise for the length of the contract. That's a terrible free agent deal.
  14. DJL44
    My mind read those aloud in Bob Casey's voice.
  15. DJL44
    You can pay millions to win or millions to lose but to play the game it will cost tens of millions.
  16. DJL44
    Mechanics are more important than velocity as an indicator. If he's not repeating his mechanics it's time to give him a rest.
  17. DJL44
    Manuel Margot is on a hot streak this week
  18. DJL44
    Nobody is going to force you to pay for more streaming than you want. You'll just miss a few Twins games. Exclusively distributed games make money. They're not going away.
  19. DJL44
    The ratio is likely to be 140-150 games on one service and 12-22 games split between other services (probably Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers games). I can't possibly watch every regular season game so skipping a few is not a big deal. The more annoying problem will be the continued fragmentation of the playoffs. The service you subscribe to for most regular season Twins games is probably going to be different than the services carrying the MLB playoffs. They're also going to continue to switch providers between playoff rounds. Best case scenario is one streamer gets the NL playoffs, another gets the AL playoffs and a third gets the World Series but it might end up more fragmented than that where every streaming service gets a different playoff round.
  20. DJL44
    Absolutely nothing, but an article about Keaschall gets few comments whereas dredging up old trades usually spawns dozens of "told you so" comments.
  21. DJL44
    No player comes out of AAA a completely finished product. Players have to learn and adjust at the MLB level.
  22. DJL44
    If you look at the reverse order of the salaries of the various underperforming veteran players as a guide. Jackson $1.3M (DFA, now in St. Paul) Margot $4M Santana $5.25M Farmer $6.25M Vazquez $10M (plus another $10M owed next year) They owe Margot the least amount going forward. He's already been paid $1.3M by the Twins and would probably earn $500,000 as the prorated league minimum on some other team's MLB roster if they DFA him. They would only have to eat about $2M to release him.
  23. DJL44
    I would DFA Margot. He's the most easily replaceable. I would rank Farmer ahead of the AAA players (Kemp, Prato, Helman) on the organizational depth chart but not Margot (Martin is better). Plus, I like Castro in the OF more than the IF.
  24. DJL44
    I agree that Martin is the player most likely to take Farmer's utility role.
  25. DJL44
    They are definitely waiting until the last minute in case an injury makes the decision for them. I do not see Brooks Lee taking the role they have for Kyle Farmer. They aren't going to make Lee a RH platoon 2B when he's actually a switch-hitting SS and 3B who hits better LH and has played one game at 2B professionally. Lee will develop in AAA until he's needed due to injuries to other players.
