That wasn't the point at all, was it?
-
As a small business owner, I'd not bet the farm on square, we get approached by competitors every week almost.....
-
then why fire Terry, if there are no real issues?

Nope, no one is suggesting making moves just to make moves. Not. One. Person.

Article: Hunting For A 200 Inning Pitcher
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I also feel this is not necessarily good. We now know with certainty that there is a huge penalty for 3rd and 4th time thru the order. I'm not sure how often you want good, but not ELITE, pitchers doing that. -
did anyone ask for a radical move? Is trading Dozier radical? Is signing a RP radical? Help me understand, as I am curious what that means.
-
I'd endorse a Blanton signing at this point, under the assumption it was 1 year only. And yes, I have looked, and yes, there are some names left, but the best names? The best names are gone.
-
It's not like the vast majority of RPs were already signed. Which ones left have big upside?
-
I don't, but people keep typing "they are working on the back office first", as if they can't do both. I'm NOT the one saying that....
-
They changed 1 player so far. 1 player. 2 if you count Plouffe, I guess, but he didn't play much last year. If they can't change more than 1 player, while also working on the back office things if that is your argument, that's an issue.
-
who here is arguing "completely turn the team around in one season"....anywhere on this entire board? Another straw man...
-
No one disagrees with this. That does not, however, mean that standing pat is the correct answer for the rest of the organization, does it? This is a classic logical fallacy.... as for the number 1 pick, I'm confused, I thought this was about this year, not the future?

Not every democrat is anti outsourcing, where appropriate......if the rest of the world has no money and no jobs, imo, the unrest is worse. Some of us democrats used to be moderate republicans, when the world was very different....
-
When money is paid is a pretty big deal to those that have the money......
-
I'd bet those arb numbers are low, but maybe I overstated my position some......maybe you are all closer than I thought. From the Twins' side, if your numbers are close, why are they offering him close to market value? They are then, if your numbers are right, assuming all the risk, aren't they?
-
Businesses don't run that way, Brock. PV of money, and all. Especially if you think inflation is coming back.....
-
3 WAR player, who plays elite defense, and could possibly hit and steal bases....who is 22 or so, what would that fetch on the open market? 5-7 years....150MM I'd guess. And, he'd want that shorter length so he could be a FA again.....
-
No chance, zero, Sano or Buxton do that. If Buxton can hit at all, he's an All Star type player. No way he settles for that money. And I'm not sure Sano even needs to be more than a DH to make about 2-3x that much money either, not if he maintains a high OBP to go with the HRs. Double those numbers, and you might get a conversation going.
-
Teams don't front load contracts, unless you mean bonuses. I don't know how you extend Polanco right now, he doesn't even have a position. I can't see, given the years they had, the other three would accept whatever was offered, frankly. I do think they should try to figure out how to make it happen, but I don't think it does this season, unless something happens in the first half to make both sides more sure who the player is...
-
I don't need space or good schools anymore, but we moved out here partly to live a more urban, walkable, life. We found a 'hood we love, but I think renting in year 1 is most likely. Plus cash is at a premium while we get the business up and running.....
-
Houses that would be in neighborhoods I want, and don't require a complete tear down to the studs: 600K or more.....
-
Trying to convince my wife that we should reconsider not buying a house ever again (even though that was/is my idea). Prices continue to skyrocket here, and interest rates are going to go up for sure..... OTOH, I really don't want to own a house....and holy cow it's expensive here.
-
Well, next year they'll have only 2 trade assets, again.....so, good luck on that front. If the FA market is better...will they outbid teams for Ace types? I have my doubts. Full on, very slow, thru the draft, rebuild....since we passed on going over on international (check out the top 100s, and how many are international signings, none of which are Twins in the last 5 years, IIRC).

I'd be happy if they got 2010 Hughes, not being greedy....
