    If he is healthy give him like 3-4 starts and if things don't work out put him in long relief until he regains himself. Ober has earned the spot. And who cares about how Maeda feels about getting demoted to the bullpen. If he had a great year he would be gone via free agency any way.

    Or just look at his history and then you would know 150 games is almost impossible unless he accepts being a DH for well over half of the time.

    Didn't hear it but all I can say I don't like the idea of a 6 man rotation how baseball is today. This would have worked when starters actually went 7+ innings. With starters rarely seeing the 6th inning now a team would probably burn out their bullpen quickly. The team would also need a very good bullpen to deal with this all the time. It may also cut down on the amount of bench players a team has to use.

    The defense is great but if it means he is only able to play in 100 games all season it's a waste of the bat.
  5. darin617
    I would find out what happened and if he is partly at fault it might be best to just send him home now and have him work out on his own until he is cleared to pitch. That might be the wakeup call that he so clearly needs. He was a top prospect that fell off fast.
  6. darin617
    Maybe they try converting him into a relief pitcher this year. He is owed $7,750,000 through 2026 so there is no reason to just cut him and move on. It's not big money but if he can come back it's worth hanging onto him especially since he's not taking a spot on the 40 man roster.

    https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/270508/Bally-Sports-Parent-Company-Skips-Interest-Payment-Expected-To-File-Bankruptcy I just hope this doesn't affect our ability to watch the Twins this season.

    This will be good as long as the ball stays in the park. All of them can sure cover some ground.
  9. darin617
    God bless steroids and that there were rules against them at the time.
  10. darin617
    All teams are trying that approach. I think only Houston has an open spot as of right now. Once players can be put on the 60 day IL there will be a bunch of moves happening.

    Any way you look at this situation it seems like the Twins are doing everything wrong here. If they expect Lee to be 3rd baseman next season they should have left Miranda at 1st base now. I don't think it makes much sense to keep moving a player back and forth between positions like this. Leave him in one place and let him be.
  12. darin617
    Forgot about Corey Knebel and Zack Britton
  13. darin617
    He may change his approach in 2023. There is nothing saying he can't change and be a better hitter. He has to know this may be his last chance to play and make adjustments.
  14. darin617
    Waiting for a team better than the 1987 or 1991 Twins. Seems like a lifetime ago.
  15. darin617
    I don't want a short guy playing first. It limits the range and many other things. Just think of that bang bang play when he can't stretch as far for starters. He would be fine at 2b if his knees could handle it.
  16. darin617
    Arraez wasn't shifted much at all either. So that comment is not correct.
  17. darin617
    Exactly, get hitter no doubt about that. No speed, defensive liability and Miami is going to play him at 2b, and no power. I'm sure they offered a pretty low long term deal.
  18. darin617
    Boras is not his agent. Baseball reference has it lasted as Agents: MVP Sports Group
  19. darin617
    The exact point on Arraez. If the Twins can put him in a trade as a main piece for some pitching get it done. He is a fan favorite that is a hitting machine, no power though. Arraez is a defensive liability at any position. Best position would be DH, but I'm slightly old school and want power out of the DH and not a slap hitter who also lacks speed.
  20. darin617
    Maybe if he had 3-4 years of team control.
  21. darin617
    I know the price would be higher but why not trade for a pitcher with more than 2 years of team control?
  22. darin617
    Correa wouldn't opt out he would just demand a trade after his first good year.
  23. darin617
    Almost there, this time it would be perfect for Correa and Boras to take a little of their own medicine. The Twins demand an opt out after 3 years and can opt out again after every year. It would never happen but it would be poetic justice for sure.
  24. darin617
    If a team has an open spot on 40 man just claim and and DFA the player yourself and see if anyone claims him.
  25. darin617
    Sign Correa to a 10 year 350 million contract with the Twins having the opt out option after year 3. It would never happen and would love to see an agent dumb enough to give a team an opt out clause instead of the player getting it. Of course Boras is no idiot and it will never happen. It would be nice to give them a taste of their own medicine.
