  1. I don't think anyone is ignoring him as the 5th option.....
  2. I can never recall if it is Erv or Ricky....about the same, I think....
  3. Agreed. If I can get Price, and trade howeveryouspellhisname......I probably do that. Maybe. I'm quite nervous about his elbow, so I'd want him to be surrounded by three guys I trusted (which he would be THIS year).
  4. We'll never know, since their largest signing is, who, Nolasco? In the history of the team? It's the pattern, not the one off cases.
  5. Did you read the link I posted.....you might find it interesting.
  6. Break out the champagne. their goals have been met!
  7. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/david-prices-trade-value/
  8. Other than Gallen last year, I struggle to think of a young pitcher (that is in the majors and good, which is what this team needs) traded with more than 2 years of control left.....doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I can't think of it. I also don't think this team will outbid anyone for a big time free agent. But they said they would add impact player(s) this year.
  9. How about signing a really good to great player? Not Cole or Strasburg money.....but the next tier.
  10. Why would the Rockies do this for low level prospects?
  11. He has almost no excess value. Just sign one of the expensive third baseman instead, and keep your prospects.
  12. Isn't what really matters what Snell does? I mean, you never know if the prospects turn out the same in different orgs. Not that I think there is any chance they trade for him.
  13. They just signed Morton last year, why are they trading him?
  14. Cleveland trying to be like the Rays....but no other team has cracked that code.....
  15. The dollars are right in line with the last few years.....the two great players got the same moneyish as the two great hitters last year, and the Wheeler looks like Corbin/Darvish money.....or middle tier money like last year. This has been the price for 2-3 years now.
  16. Which kind of shows the folly of waiting until just the right moment to add good players.....they might not be there in the year you waited for. The Twins have historically played the risk game in one way: Choose the least financial risk, while accepting that there may be considerable downside risk in playing mediocre players. That's fine, it's their company. But I'd really like them to make an upside play at some point. This was that point. Great hitting team, with lots of money available (and money coming off the books next year), and 5-6 good starting pitchers available (they had no chance at the top two, but those two meant two other teams were not pursuing the other 3-4).
  17. It is true, different players have different needs/wants. But we are looking at a pattern of over two decades of not signing big time free agents (from a cost perspective). It isn't a one off thing at that point, it's an organizational philosophy. It could still change this off season, there are still two really good pitchers left....
  18. So I got that about right? Sometimes I'm right, not often according to one poster, but sometimes.
  19. I'd think Price is about a $20MM dollar a year player in this market. That means Boston would have to eat a third of the deal for the Twins to send "cash or a PTBNL".....
  20. That's what I would do if I was the Angels....
  21. Not at all. I hope he's healthy and happy. Good for him to get this money.
  22. Mature decision by the schools. Not easy at all.
