People want two of these minute league guys starting for one forth the year? How is that a good idea? Plus, Pineda doesn't stay healthy
-
Cron was replacement level. Why are people wanting to bring him back on a team on a budget that wants to win?
-
I'll ask again.... Look at the leaderboards, and tell me who will be available that is better, that won't cost a lot more? And I said fifteen, or is that the difference here?
-
Do you think three games changes years of data?
-
Because gone are the days of starters going six innings most days. Go look at the list of starters on leader boards.... There aren't many you want more than Odo, and even less that will be available.... It's all about the QO. If there is none, he'll get fifteen a year, imo
-
They need three pitchers. They aren't going to gut the system to trade for three. That would be stupid. I never said they wouldn't, I said if they don't, then they aren't serious. Nothing more or less was said in that post.
-
Pineda hasn't had a healthy year since many of you were born* *Exaggeration for effect.... Either the window is open, or not. But Cruz won't be here forever. Sano and Rosario aren't here forever. Garver will probably be less healthy year after year, that's the nature of catching. If they don't get two good pitchers, why should any fan believe they will ever go in?

I just said it was a bad move..... That's one. One bad move. -
Front Page: Now Entering Second Guess Season
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Meh. It wasn't a good move. It wasn't a move that made a huge difference. I would have used Rogers in a jam. So, sure, that move was bad. But people are acting like every decision was bad. The players stunk. That's what mattered most. -
The math is pretty clear, because the pitching is better in the playoffs, home runs are better than high batting average in the postseason. You are less likely to string together hits against the better pitching.
-
The only one I sign is Odorrizi. Castro if he takes a small pay cut, and we all agree Garver gets sixty percent of the at bats. No way on Scoop, his money goes to pitching. No way on Perez, he's not good. Gibson? If they think he's healthy, maybe, but I'd try elsewhere first.

Front Page: Now Entering Second Guess Season
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
My only two things Schoop should have started game one. No question. Odorrizi should have started game two. I agree strongly with the Gibson decision. That keeps the Yankees from seeing the good RP two days in a row. I was mildly opposed to some of the bullpen usage, but not strongly. Before the series, people here said the bullpen was vastly improved, and the front office deserved credit for Littell and others. So, which is it? -
He's a slightly below average corner outfielder. He's not worth what they have to pay him going forward.
-
The return is a minor league player. No non contender trades for a corner OF with two years if control left, and what contender trades starting pitching for an asset they can sign for a free million in free agency. They have sixty million to spend. They can afford anyone they want to afford.
-
That's the opposite of my opinion. The playoffs don't show the best team. The regular season is a better judge of an organization. But if they are going to have playoffs, every team should make it. If anyone wants, I can blog my crazy plan for this....
-
Thread!
-
I never said they were. I was replying to the thought that somehow a below average, expensive, corner OF was more valuable than Buxton or Sano....
-
Rosario is a slightly below average corner outfielder with two years of control left. They also have two top 75 corner outfield prospects. Rosario is also more expensive than Buxton or Sano. That matters to a team with a budget.
-
Exactly who starts game two or three if not Dobnak? That's who the front office gave the manager..... Unless that sentence is aimed at them, and not the manager?
-
If we go the route of the Rays, we'll actually use high first round picks on pitching that is good..... Or not. Too late for that.
-
I concur on the playoffs....
-
I can't think of one team in history that added three legit starting pitchers in one off season. I imagine not many have added two..... I'm not interested in being in on players. That's been the line since McPhail left.
-
Agreed, but not too start next year. Dobnak is the only guy under contract other than Berrios likely to start the year as a starter.
-
I agree with all of that. I preached all of last year that they should be bringing guys up and down from AAA for the pen. Instead, they brought in a bunch of guys that could not be optioned, and now Nick Anderson is very good. This year they didn't do that, and Gonsalves got hurt (though I think they would have used him as a starter) and Romero has forgotten how to pitch. I think they can pull a bullpen together, if they move some of the "meh" starters to the pen. They can't do that if they don't bring in outside starters until Gaterol and Blazovich and one other guy is ready.......
-
Odo is a free agent, who I hope they sign. Gaterol is not likely to start the year in MN as a starter, but I could be wrong about that. The window won't be open next year w/o adding pitching to the one guy they have right now. Adding Odo is a good start. Instead of spending money on Perez and Cron, they could have signed a better pitcher. A team on a budget can't afford to spend 5-8MM on mediocre/bad players.
