    If it means your players are doing great and getting promoted I hope most of our minor league teams suffer badly this year.

    Nice to see Gordon has earned the promotion.

    Polanco's suspension would be half over if not for all the cancelled games.

    How old would a player be if he played his full college career? 22 or 23 depending on how old he was when he graduated high school. No reason why he can't become a major league pitcher. It took Jake Arrieta until he turned 28 to figure it out. Whether that was due to a pitching coach or that he finally matured at what turns out to be a late age. No one knows.

    So what does this all mean if he would make the majors in 2-3 years when he still has the military commitment?

    Kerrigan?

    Thought this was about Nancy.

    By the way, make sure to bring a shovel. They will call it a team building exercise. Then they will ask you to come back at a later date. Rinse, Repeat.
  8. darin617
    Now we just need to hope he can stay healthy and get back to his form before the injury.
  9. darin617
    If they keep him down for like 2 weeks or less it gets another year of control. So I have to disagree it's not about money it's years of control. Besides he is not ready.
  10. darin617
    Even if Gordon is ready, keep him down long enough to earn an extra year of team control. I would also not even think about starting Gordon right now. He has not earned it & the chance of ruining him is not worth the risk. Let him earn the promotion to AAA first.
  11. darin617
    Hopefully they make the right decision if Hughes flops in the 1st month.

    Comparing a pitcher to a hitter are not the same. A pitcher needs to get his work in to get in his work. They also should have had an option for like $15M for 2019.
  13. darin617
    Hope this doesn't turn out like when the Twins signed Kendrys Morales. The biggest questions will be what has he been doing since pitchers & catchers reported? Is he behind & will he be ready for opening day without much of any Spring Training?
  14. darin617
    I'm pretty sure it's the 75th pick in the draft. Twins got a competitive balance round B pick. The Tinws would give up their 3rd highest pick.
  15. darin617
    Anyone else notice Neil Walker can't find a team? Just saying demand is not that great for 2nd base. I know Walker is not equal to Dozier but just proves they could find a cheap alternative some where next year if Dozier demands the world in a contract.
  16. darin617
    I have no problem with the lowball offer. The agents overplayed their hands & most likely passed on good deals back in December. I love it that is called collusion when teams finally figure out it's not smart to spend like drunken sailors on leave. This is gonna be really ugly when the collective bargaining agreement is up. With all the teams tanking t rebuild.
  17. darin617
    So what is the news about Gordon's defense?
  18. darin617
    I would be a little afraid signing any of the 3 top pitchers. Nobody has any clue what they have done since pitchers & catchers reported. They may be behind and not ready to start or worse yet be likely to over due it and cause an injury. Just remember how good it worked out when the Twins signed Kendrys Morales. No spring training and never found his old form.
  19. darin617
    Just remember what happened when the Twins signed Mauer to an extension before he was eligible to become a free agent. If he has a good year, offer him the QO first & then talk about a possible 3-4 year contract. Or fall back on your in-house options that may make sense in the long term.
  20. darin617
    Then once he realizes how messed up the market is here he will be open to playing overseas to make some cash. Also, it is the best way to build some value since I can't see him getting regular AB's on any team.
  21. darin617
    I'm sure many teams would be in for the right price...
  22. darin617
    Vargas to Korea or Japan. The Twins will sit him down and ask him if he would be open to going overseas to get some actual playing time. This way he could make a return to MLB with some confidence since he could get normal AB's in either Korea or Japan. Not sure which season would start sooner to be a quicker/better fit for him.
  23. darin617
    Give me one of the following Logan Morrison, Mark Reynolds or Corey Dickerson. Or if you want to gamble sign Jose Bautista. I have always liked Vargas. It just seems like he has never got a fair chance to evolve into the great hitter he could become. His best bet might be going to Korea or Japan and make some big money while he can.
  24. darin617
    Charlie Morton might be a better target. Thin he may only be signed for 1 more year.
  25. darin617
    I wonder if Boston is regretting the David Price contract? 7 years $217M ouch. There should never be a team giving any pitcher over 30 a deal longer than 5 years tops. Sad part teams will over pay and get burned in the last 2 years if not more.
