My money is on a Grifren cut, a Rudolph restructure, and one more move involving Rhodes or Waynes, though I can't decide what that move is...... And, no real OL signed in FA.
-
Yes, 100x this, I'd rather have Paradis for sure. 100x this. Not even close.
-
griffen and Rudolph will be restructured, or maybe traded/cut. IMO. but, ya, I'd rather have Waynes after this year, than Barr.....not close.
-
13.5MM is what I just read. So, passing on fixing the OL again. Sigh.
-
wow.....and wut? I'm not sure how I feel about this, from a commitment perspective. There have been issues with his commitment and work ethic before....
-
Barr and Richardson gone.....but sure, they can build an OL basically from scratch, and replace those two. No problem.......and Murray, but I think they an find a RB in a mid/late round.

Twins 2019 Position Analysis: Center Field
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That post was about the backup to the backup to the backup numbers.......not Buxton.... -
Interesting, I just added this to my list....

decadent.....

A different kind of look at the minors....note it is in the fantasy section... https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/a-minor-review-of-2018-minnesota-twins/

Paul 10:18 Playoffs?!?! Who you got?? Mark P 10:19 NYY, Cleveland, Houston as division winners. Red Sox, Twins as the wild cards. NL is much harder to call, but I'll say Washington, St. Louis, LA win the divisions. Wild cards are Colorado and Milwaukee. But, ask me tomorrow and I'll have different answers Falvine 10:25 Are the Twins the AL version of the braves essentially? Mark P 10:26 It's not a bad comp. Except the Braves already got big production from their big outfield prospect (Acuna) and infield prospect (Albies), while the Twins are still waiting on Buxton to really blossom, and for Sano to become more consistent Luhnow's Mentor 10:42 Do you think the increasing availability of super utility types are hurting interest and contract values for FA's like Marwin, for example? He didn't seem to draw a ton of interest this year, and the Astros got a decent replacement for next to nothing. Mark P 10:44 This is a solid point. Teams seem to be trying to build their own super-utility types from within, rather than signing a guy like Marwin (at least at what Marwin's initial asking price was) Andy Melius 10:57 The Twins made nice moves but could've done much more. You think they're waiting for the trade deadline to see where they stand? Mark P 10:57 This https://www.jotcast.com/chat/mlbtr-chat-with-mark-polishuk-4807.html

by that logic, every single play is subjective. And no measure will ever be useful to some people then....
-
I'd be thrilled with those two being added, and no FA OL being added, but there is a lot of breath holding during the draft if that is the plan.....
-
Uh, isn't choosing what stats to use "biased" under your terms no matter what you choose (or subjective)? I fail to understand your argument, unless you are arguing you literally can't compare players at all....because that's the logical conclusion of this post.
-
I hope not, I'd rather have both 2nds. And, good that Remmers is gone. Sendejo is replaceable, but it's possible he comes back to MN cheap, given all the good/great safeties on the market.

Pretty convenient injury for the Jays......I'm shocked he'll be in AAA for a few weeks, shocked!- 13 replies

Wait, O'Neil is a backup now? That's just not a good use of resources, imo......Of course, I know you are just planning for Reiff to be gone in 2020....but no way I do that, not with this team needing to go all in with the aging D and only having this QB and WR pair a couple more years. O'Neill is good, and this team should be drafting starters where they don't have them. I'd use either the first or early 2nd on a DT or DE. The draft is crazy deep there, maybe CB (cheaper alternative to Waynes).

Twins 2019 Position Analysis: Left Field
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't know that they sign him, though I would not be opposed. They have Lanarch and Rooker and Wade and Kiriloff, and that's just the ones I think about, there are more. At some point, they'll need to rely on the cheaper options those guys offer, so I'm not sure what they are going to do. If the relationship with Buxton is really broken, I expect he's traded after he has a monster season this year (and we all complain he was traded), Kepler moves to CF, Kiriloff or Lanarch in RF, and Eddie or someone else in LF.....- 19 replies

I guess I missed the King thing, apologies. It happens. If you don't think that resolution that just passed was done in response to her, I don't know what to say. As for her words, I don't like them, but I can listen to my Jewish friends who have said these words were aimed at policy, not people. That said, I can see how others see more there, and I don't know that I disagree with them. Like I said, I don't actually know her intent here.... She accused a nation, not a religion. I think there is a distinction there, you don't. That's fair, but I am looking very specifically at her words. Her past, as you point out, should maybe lead me not to...... And, no, she pretty much killed her rising star (if there was one), with these words, and I anticipate it will only get worse for her, not better. I could be wrong about that, of course.....
-
statcast is that better eye...... It's a boring argument, chief and others have decided they don't trust defensive stats, and no one is going to change his mind. I guess it's possible others will read this thread, and change their mind.....so it isn't worthless overall, but no one is changing chief's mind.
-
I'd guess people are tired of the rational left not actually accomplishing anything at all.....that's a guess, but it's certainly where I am. All they've really done is make things worse, by capitulating to "tough on crime" among other things, and being generally so boring and unable to do things, that they can't control the House even though a huge majority of the population agrees more with left leaning policy than right leaning policy. In sum, they just aren't very good at actually achieving anything meaningful.
-
a: plenty of Jews have stated that she attacked Israel's policies, not Jews. I don't know what her real feelings are, but her words were clearly not about Jews. b: She's no rising star, and I'd bet good money she's one and done. Even if she is re-elected, she's no rising star. c: They did actually condemn her.....unlike the GOP and Rep. King's racist remarks, a man that keeps getting elected (as one example).

soft on crime.....
