  1. Levine should brush up on his Japanese, just in case.
  2. more specifically, Darvish tweeting out a pic of himself in Texas having dinner with Texas Rangers personnel?
  3. Arrieta has also been tied to the Brewers, and to the Phillies per bloggers at The Athletic
  4. It's great to discover new statistics and new ideas. Thank you! It will be interesting to see what this stat tells us. Santana threw what seemed to be a quality slider to Aaron Judge in the 1st inning of the wild card game, Judge was fooled by it, lunged and swung at it anyway, and the ball landed softly and safely in shallow center for a hit.
  5. Counterpoint: Rosario is learning to "play within himself," defining that vague phrase however you want
  6. Bullpen is better. Still looking for three more reliable starters.
  7. To your first point, no, I don't think so. But they are the Yankees so you never know.
  8. That is a very fair opinion, and I think chances are good the Twins do sign Darvish (Cobb would be my next pref)
  9. 65 inch TV, climate controlled cab, and... a drink holder!
  10. I am not high on Mejia, but I guess I am higher on Musgrove than others. I think Pittsburgh has Musgrove penned into a rotation spot for 2018. Considering Pittsburgh was highly motivated to move Cole ASAP, it was not an awful deal, even though some baseball people are calling it that. I think the Twins could have worked something out close to Gordon/Grante/Jay, if not those specific pieces, something close. The Twins need to sign Darvish so that their complete uninterested in making a deal for Cole does not leave a bad taste in my mouth
  11. Houston goes from a 100-loss team to World Series champion able to trade away decent young players they didn't even need, all in a span of 4-5 seasons. Hopefully in a couple years the Twins will be in the same position.
  12. I'm not a prospect guy, but I don't think Kepler belongs in this comparison. I would guess Gordon and Moran might be a wash (premium position vs. intriguing bat), and Musgrove approximately one of our better two AA starters. Or as reported in December: Gordon, Granite and Jay
  13. Reed and Darvish share that agency - very interesting. This offseason is unfolding like a bad, slow, poorly written novel but with some interesting stuff at the end. MLBTR just quoted Luhnow/Astros as being "very happy" with their current roster: in other words, not interested in Darvish (my interpretation). Angels have not been linked to Darvish at all. Dodgers aren't interested. Good cases have been made why he's not returning to Texas or going to New York. Gotta be down to the Twins or Cubs.
  14. Very solid. Falvey's offseason grade moves from F-minus to about C+
  15. I'm glad this conversation is still going. I plan to dive in to your piece this weekend.
  16. Good points being made in this thread. It's quite possible that early extensions for top players will not be as cheap as they were in yesteryear, if they continue to exist at all. If the FO can get one done, great. If it means paying Buxton near-market a couple years from now, so be it.
  17. If the Twins offer Darvish one year for $40 million, Darvish might counter with 2 years for $80 million, or 3/120.
  18. So the Cubs version of Twins Fest begins tomorrow, and in the past there have been surprise announcements revealed at these Cubs things. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-winter-surprise-sullivan-20180110-story.html
  19. Latest on Gerrit Cole, per MLBTR: I want to believe!
  20. Here is the tweet that I am referring to: https://mobile.twitter.com/pbcbreakdown/status/940390540998250497 What did this second tweet say, the tweet that you saw?
