    Well wasn’t that special
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Because of course
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure I agree. Rooker doesn’t appear to have a platoon split weakness, for starters.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No, actually going for it on 4th and 1 at your opponents 39 is not a bold call, it’s s no brainer.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I heard Bercich on my way home tonight predicting that Thielen would line up in the slot and get a lot of targets tonight, based on Seattle’s coverage scheme. So, yeah.

    You've got to be crazy to believe something like this. But, they don't let crazy people post here. So....

    You still need the P- and I - ... do you still have your Pelfrey and Correia jerseys?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yes, they are kicking the can down the road, until Lewis is shortstop. The $100+ million payrolls are a thing of the past. If they can win in the meantime, payroll won’t matter, but that is to be determined. The present core certainly has the talent.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sure, but what team telegraphs their trade interests? I suppose Houston telegraphed their interest in Verlander a couple years ago.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    agree; not that I endorsed it, just relaying what I read

    Based on LEN's reporting of Falvey's comments (and my interpretation of course), the Twins are not looking for a starter. Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi, Pineda, with some combination of young guy/spring tryout/opener-primary we saw last season, to take the fifth spot.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Levine's candidness is appreciated by some of us who were stunned and caught completely off guard by one of the signings in particular. There must have been people in the org waving the red flag but they went ahead anyway. So there's some vindication there at least. On the other hand, Schoop seems like a pretty good guy and student of the game (other than his playing Robin to Machado's Batman in Baltimore).

    If I recall, the guy representing Pittsburgh rep was working against Sano's interests behind the scenes, planting doubt about Sano's age, to scare off the rest of the MLB team reps. All while telling Sano he was his champion to his face. But the Twins and one other team stuck with Sano the whole way as Sano lost trust in signing with Pittsburgh.

    Rosario seems to often lose focus in a lost situation (a losing game, or the second half of last year) which yes speaks to a lack of discipline. He's also our best player. Should have been an All Star last year. He's matured as a hitter from his first two seasons, and he's entering his peak years. He's a free swinger, as Oliva and Puckett were. In the context of this thread, he's the least of our worries, so yes, he gets a pass from me.

    The coaching moves are interesting, given at least two coaches hired by Falvey & Levine (Alston, Pickler) have already moved on. Not necessarily a bad thing, but would be interesting to know the meaning. I give the front office about a 1:3 chance of doing a big move just to do a move, and getting the typical praise and criticism (me) for it, regardless of its merits Otherwise I will again predict a quiet and frugal offseason.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, what mike said. There's no clear answer and definitely not trying to be argumentative. I think Santana would be a good fit and he's only under contract for two more years (team option for third year).
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Obviously prospects will offset salary, if salary is the biggest concern (which it is, imo)
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hate to say it (not really), but Santana would be a perfect fit for... the Twins, in my opinion.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Robinson’s got to put a better move on the coverage
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    not relevant to the discussion, actually
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    9 million for what Odorizzi provides is a question mark edit: like the above poster, I do like him. If he's tendered I think we'll see him used a little differently than last year (his third time through the order is terrible, but he also had some rough first innings too)
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Second highest bid, again!
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Awesome gig for Gimenez
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You make a reasonable point about Rooker not contributing in 2019. However I can't quite reconcile that he will both 1. not be part of the calculus in 2019, but 2. the Twins will nevertheless know his fate by the end of 2019. I'd put his odds at greater than 50/50 that he debuts in 2019 (assuming good health, etc).
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe we will be surprised. Payroll was always going to be high (“high” in quotes) with Mauer’s 2010 contract on the books. I think we’ll see it dip quite a bit this year.
