    Not making a decision is making a decision. They're deciding not to participate in the offseason until mid-December.
  2. DJL44
    How can that still be a question at the beginning of the offseason? I could see a $10M discrepancy but not knowing your budget to within 50% is crazy.
  3. DJL44
    If I was trying to get Buxton to waive his no-trade clause I'd make a bunch of statements about how Kody Clemens is my guy at 1B and I'm not looking for anyone better.

    Bert Blyleven is a member of the baseball Hall of Fame. I would love if the rotation was filled with Bert Blyleven-caliber pitchers.
  5. DJL44
    In a competent organization, Clemens would be Plan C. Sabato is a below average AAA player. I'm glad they aren't depending on him.
  6. DJL44
    You don't trade cheap, top of the rotation pitchers for average catchers in their last years of arbitration. If the Orioles want Ryan or Lopez, they need to send back YOUNG talent in return. Joe Ryan for Basallo would make sense 1 for 1.
  7. DJL44
    That totals to losses of $24M. How did they lose the other $400M? Embezzlement?

    What does the field coordinator do? For our local athletic association, they make sure every team can get fields for games and practices. I can't imagine that is a problem for the Twins.
  9. DJL44
    Yes
  10. DJL44
    In AAA

    Letting Julien play anywhere regularly is a great way to tank your season.
  12. DJL44
    Then they would desperately need #1 and #2 hitters.
  13. DJL44
    I think spending big bucks on relief pitching is a great way to set your money on fire.
  14. DJL44
    If the plan is "Let's try again with our 70-win team" then I have no idea why they kept Derek Falvey.
  15. DJL44
    I hope Bailey Ober is even more likely to be traded than Lopez. They need to deal one starting pitcher, otherwise someone who has no business pitching in AAA will be stuck in AAA this season. This team is going to need to continually trade old and expensive for young and cheap.
  16. DJL44
    I don’t think SWR has options so a reset in AAA is not possible.
  17. DJL44
    I would like to see some fringe starters from other teams as Twins reliever options.
  18. DJL44
    Jhoan Duran made the All-MLB team. He was the only Twin on the first or second team. Byron Buxton finished 11th in the MVP voting and missed out on a $3M bonus.
  19. DJL44
    Deeper in the minors, the clock is ticking on Sam Armstrong (25 years old in AA),
  20. DJL44
    Age, injury history and remaining team control are all factors. Festa, Prielipp and Raya are the most likely candidates. I would like to see them grab some candidates out of other organizations as well.
  21. DJL44
    Looks like the whole coaching staff has been announced. Mark Hallberg is the bench coach (River Falls ties), Mike Rabelo asst bench coach, Toby Gardenhire field coordinator.
  22. DJL44
    I think the kids are likely already better than Outman and I'd rather give them the innings.

    New Found Revenue!

    I guess nobody was talking about it because nobody trusts ownership that there actually was $425M in debt. Before the season it was $300M, after the season it was $400M, now it's $425M? How are they adding $25M in debt every month? How did they add another $25M to the total when the season is over and they don't have any payroll or operating expenses? I don't believe any of these numbers just like I don't believe MLB claiming they lost billions this season. It doesn't add up.
  24. DJL44
    True, but next year will be more expensive than this year. If teams aren't interested in paying him $4.7M this year, will they be excited to pay him $6.5M next year?
  25. DJL44
    I'd rather cut Larnach, DH Wallner and spend the $5M on someone who already knows how to play 1B.
