If he still has a job on Tuesday, I'll be upset. (not real upset, it is just football).
-
On what planet is not kicking the FG there the right decision?
-
I'm not sure, but I think.... As I said on another site at halftime, I think the Vikes win, I still fire the coach.
-
down by 2 in the 4th? Of course you go for 2 there.
-
I think he is.
-
No, that's awful coaching. I was merely answering why he thought that... Which wasn't hard to understand.
-
Because the OL is bad, and he hasn't played at all?
-
I don't think the officials are the problem with this team...
-
Is Davis healthy?
-
Just fire the coaches already.
-
-
There isn't next year either. Even with him, Jax and Thorpe and Dobnak are on the roster....who else is ready in AAA? Especially who is ready if there isn't much spring training?
-
Unlike billionaire owners who have seen their wealth (many of whom inherited it and didn't earn it) grow at even faster rates?
-
Because some of us want the players to make more money.....earlier in their career. Because I'd like them to pick the city they live in. This isn't close to a free market....I'd like it closer, you know, like the rest of capitalism where people can go work for other companies in the same industry. The Twins will adjust, just like other businesses.
-
The don't pay those people millions per year. But sure, some orgs have added staff (100? wow)......
-
We've certainly seen that the Twins can't sign new 1 year deals every year and build a staff (see last year and likely this coming year).....so I'm not sure how 1 year deals over and over to fill multiple slots is a good/sustainable idea (maybe they weren't trying to win last year?).
-
No idea. I'm sure there are other things, like minimum pay, years to free agency, and more, that they want......my point was, the players are making a smaller share of revenue than ever......there is plenty of money in the game (as we can see by the amount of money teams continue to sell for).
-
I don't know.....I'd like to keep Garver, but he's very valuable I'd think (esp when the DH is universal). He'd bring back a great prospect, or two good ones. I'd 100% trade Arraez if he brought back a guy you believed in. I'd consider Polanco, IF and only IF you keep Arraez or believe in Martin or Lewis at 2B, but I'd have to be blown away. If Sano brought back a good prospect or two, I'd consider it. But, I really think he's going to come out hot this year and be worth every penny...that said, next year looks lost, and they have some hitters coming up that can't field, and Larnach is a DH imo......so, maybe? I'd hate to deal him, I'm a believer, and I don't know if you can get what I'd want. No way I deal Jeffers at this point. He's a legit starting catcher who isn't old. I don't know if you can get enough for Kepler to make it worth doing. BTW, there were almost no trades, so their lack of action there is not a surprise......and it may not be possible to make trades if the LOCKOUT lasts close to the season.
-
I'd quadruple like this post if I could... They need a healthy veteran to mentor the starters....we aren't sure Bundy is even that. I'm really confused that they don't have one good starting veteran at this point. And, trading anyone other than Arraez or a corner player makes no sense. They have shown, again this year, they are too cheap to sign legit players to long deals, so they NEED their other prospects to compete in the future.
-
Well, we can look at how revenues have climbed faster than salaries, and realize players should make more......
-
Wouldn't it be better to sign players, than trade good or great prospects for them? For a team that insists that building with prospects is the best way to win? There aren't good starters left (Rondon, I guess). That's it, right? I think this is a clear sign they have no intention to compete this coming year.

Ranking the Top-5 Remaining Free Agent Shortstops
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I can't see them offering anyone a multi year deal at SS. They'll see what they have in Lewis and Martin this year. And, if they still need one next year, sign one of the great FA SS next year (not that there will be any good FA SS next year). -
Which prospects do people think will start in MN day 1? Because they 100% aren't contending with that idea, not with the ones that have pitched in MN before. Leading one to wonder what they plan to do with some of the veteran hitters, who are not worth anything next year if they aren't contending..... I mean, if the plan is to use Jax and Thorpe and ?.......then shouldn't part of the plan to be to trade veterans for more prospects?
-
Is that a serious question? Do you really think that was what that post was about?
-
They didn't sign a great or good pitcher. Trading for one now makes no sense. One good pitcher isn't enough. Punt the season.
