Are people really expecting a great two way player? I'm not. Very good pitcher as a rookie, mediocre hitter. As a pitcher, he might be better than any twin next year.

Fangraphs (and other national publications) on the Twins
Mike Sixel replied to Mike Sixel's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Jeff: Is the talent in this year’s Rule 5 better than normal, or are there just more recognizable names that haven’t panned out? Keith Law: Couple of more recognizable names – Nick Burdi’s name has come up a few times, I think he’ll go off the board – but not necessarily better ones -
You really didn't answer the question. Is it better the owners pocket the money than it be spent inefficiently? Morris signed the largest FA contract ever, at the time.....
-
Agreed on willingham for sure.
-
They can't combine money for severino. They either need more this year, or spent next year's.
-
They are better than Seattle and likely Texas. And probably not done adding. I think people are downplaying ohtani A lot since he didn't choose their team. He is easily the best free agent, probably in a long time.
-
This is the same strategy, isn't it? Sano and Buxton are here three or four more years. Should they just punt this next one, and keep waiting?
-
Or Marte
-
Interesting. So they spent next year's money. Let's hope they use this year's too.
-
Was really hoping, against hope, he'd go NL. The angels are likely ahead of the Twins now
-
Everyone had the same pool. Not sure I understand.
-
This is a once allowed thing, only for the braves prospects recently let free.
-
Right. Those two guys they traded for are going to need to be good, because they are likely out of the elite level next year now.
-
Money is coming back from Seattle?
-
The math is all over the Internet. It's why teams like young players, because old players cost money to buy or keep.
-
I'm happy for trout
-
There might be one of those in FA this year. You think the Twins will win that bidding? If not, trade it is. How is trading good prospects better than spending money?
-
Gordon is in AAA, and ready to maybe help. How are these connected?
-
They have less to spend next year. And, like Jim,I am now confused about the recent trades
-
Again... Who cares? Is it better the owner pockets the money than they spend it less than perfectly efficiently? Because that is pretty much the alternative
-
Very, very, few players under thirty are ever free agents. Good luck if that is your rule. Go look at the lists the last few years, and see who makes your cut.
-
Good free agents aren't signing short deals. So, only flyers or old or bad free agents?
-
So, basically, never sign a free agent and the owner pockets the money? We worry a lot about efficiency, but if the alternative is more profit, how is that good?
-
Why? They have the money.
-
Spot on.
