  1. Nick's article left off the most likely outcome....Dozier is good to very good, the Twins can't pitch, lose 85-90 games, and then do it again next year, and then Dozier leaves as a FA.
  2. Well, they have nothing else to trade, does this matter? Is there any evidence, anywhere, that anyone can find, anywhere, that making one "bad" trade leads to bad offers in the future, or is this "the earth is flat, everyone knows that"? Seriously, just give me some actual data about this. One piece.
  3. I guess we are about to find out, aren't we. Sigh.
  4. Dozier couldn't throw out Brock from SS (I so wish you could tag people here....).
  5. you had to go there.....can't wait to read about Treadwell this off season. ugh. not on vikings journal of course....
  6. How many times did I read "OF defense doesn't matter" last year.....
  7. I agree with this, except the part where Mauer is somehow at fault. He was a SUPER TALL catcher, who is wearing down, not out of laziness, but because that's what years of HS football and professional catching has done to his body. If Sano can't play 3rd, I try him at first, but I expect him to be a DH "soon"...
  8. Not sure I understand......are you arguing that if they hit, but played bad defense (i.e., the reverse of last year), they'd be good? I'd argue no, that it takes both run prevention and run scoring....not one or the other (unless you are ridiculously dominant on one side).
  9. It seems unlikely, imo, he'll either hit as well, or field as badly, as he did last year, but fair point. As long as it isn't Dan San....
  10. Disagree....Kepler is what, 22? He should be playing every single day, to get better. I'd only platoon older players, frankly, like at 1B and DH and catcher for obvious reasons. But, imo, every young starter should play as much as possible. That's how you get better. I'd be good with more platoons in the future, but not now.
  11. Agreed on the playing SS part. It's like there was no long, or even short term, plan for how Dozier and Polanco are on the same roster. I really don't get the planning at all, frankly.
  12. either they don't agree with us that good RPs should be signed, or um, I have no idea what is going on, frankly.
  13. No matter what, if he and Dozier are here, Polanco should play SS for half a year, to see what happens, imo. They aren't making the playoffs, if they can't manage to, you know, actually trade older players for younger players, they need to see what they have.
  14. Huh, I read 4 star.....but still, either way, this class is about 100x better than it was. Hoping he can coach also....
  15. Number 1 safety in the nation....from Alabama, coming to MN? Clearly, this guy can recruit.
  16. Hughes had one great year and not much else... Why would we expect another year, unlike most of his career? I think relief is his future, possibly very good future
  17. I like MSFT also. I have money in drgo and GM for safety and dividends also. Sold a lot of Nvidia today, at around 250℅ return to pay off some debt. Nice year. Still have a lot of that stock. Still love it.
  18. Trading a catcher for a relief pitcher we didn't need is like trading for a starting pitcher with six years of control left? The Santana trade would look a lot better had they kept Hardy....A lot
  19. Do we know this to be true? And why is Sano being traded?
  20. Is there any evidence making one bad trade leads to more bad trades. Does anyone have data on that, or do we just magically know it is true? And Dozier is a leader and will help with contention? Really? How did that leadership work out last year?
  21. Hence "2nd or 3rd best" pitcher.....
  22. I'm pretty sure I see people saying they can compete, and that they should not give up on 2017.....I, otoh, have given up on 2017. Or does "don't give up on 2017" not mean people think they can be good. I've also said, repeatedly, I think they could be better with De Leon and no Dozier, than Dozier and no De Leon. I don't know that, but it could be true.
  23. I think the delta, for many of us, is that I think 2017 is lost, and some people think they can go from 59 wins to competing....I see no chance of that as realistic at all. I'd rather gamble on 2018 and beyond, than next year. That's the impasse between me and chief, for example.
  24. Uh, most of them have Berrios as a mid rotation starter also, not sure what that line means.....
