    I expect that he will do little to nothing to alter his offseason strength program to help him compensate for his decline in bat speed. So, his stats will remain as they are now until his contract year. Then there will be just enough of an uptick in his stats to tempt a new contract from someone in free agency. More vanilla results on the horizon IMHO. I think he is a great guy but I'm not convinced that he is necessarily determined to put a stamp of excellence on the final 3rd of his career. I hope I'm wrong about that because when he is in the groove he is a pleasure to watch hitting a baseball. I miss that.

    In order to build a seriously emerging team, top prospects must be placed in to their core positions, not scattered around amongst the fodder we already have.

    80-82

    Likely just some minor league housekeeping moves. How about some major league housekeeping moves too. This better not be the makings of another scrap heap bullpen!

    I was making a joke about the Twins liking tall pitchers. Obviously, not a very good joke.
  6. Dr. Evil
    Ummmm, Hughes is 6' 5". Perhaps an oversight on your part?
  7. Dr. Evil
    I double like this post.
  8. Dr. Evil
    we have zero center fielders that can make up for their defensive deficit compared to Buxton with their hitting
  9. Dr. Evil
    They care about winning to the extent that it fits neatly within a nice sound business model. Just enough hope to keep the gates busy but not enough to put winning first.

    Just when I think the Twins couldn't possibly be any dumber, they make a move like this ..........AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!!!!!!! Yahooooooo Buddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They can toss in Wilson Ramos to make the 1 year of control on Storen seem ok ....wink :0)
  12. Dr. Evil
    Maybe the Nats give us Storen and Gott for Plouffe and someone else. If we only have Storen 1 year we still got Gott.

    IMHO we need two things to add to our bullpen in order to move May to the starting rotation and call it a net gain. If you move him to the rotation and replace him with one pen arm, we are right where we started overall as a staff. Leave him in the pen and we have the same krappy pen as last year. Replace him in the pen and add one reliever free agent and we have the same krappy pen as last year. Leave him in the pen and add a free agent pen arm and we are slightly better than last year. Basically, regardless of where you put May, in order to have a significantly improved pen, we don't just need 1 arm, we need 2 or 3 for me to have a thread of optimism. Based on what we have as options for starters, I say leave him in the pen and sign 2 more guys. My bold suggestion.........we need a "flamethrower" and a "fireballer." They both need to be able to bring the heat, throw darts and drive tacks. I'm sick of the circus music playing in my head every time the damn bullpen door opens!!! Five years of garbage and I've had my friggin fill! Get with the program Twins!

    I'm saying this with hopes that the Twins make some moves that prove me wrong, I'm afraid we are in for another offseason of building a pen through dumpster diving and that will result in another year with a lousey bullpen.
  15. Dr. Evil
    I say play sano at third and make plouffe a utility guy instead of Nunez.
  16. Dr. Evil
    Plouffe should not block a stud like Sano. Question should be, what part of the bench does he occupy if we can't trade him. He is decent but not Sano blocking quality. Plouffe should be a utility guy if not traded. He is better than Nunez in that role. Net gain for the team.
  17. Dr. Evil
    I like your line of reasoning and agree with you. I like the idea of Buxton, Rosario, Sano and Kepler as our outfielders if we don't trade plouffe. I see Arcia as way behind these 4. If Plouffe is traded I see Kepler as more advanced than Arcia right now.
  18. Dr. Evil
    I hope Arcia can rebound.
  19. Dr. Evil
    I like Dozer behind Mauer too. Hope they do that.
  20. Dr. Evil
    How about trading plouffe for a pen arm and also signing a free agent pen arm?
  21. Dr. Evil
    I could see Benson as the 4th OFER and Santana as the utility IFER with Sano covering 3B at times.
  22. Dr. Evil
    Dozier 2B Mauer 1B Plouffe 3B Sano RF Park DH Rosario LF Murphy C Escobar SS Buxton CF bench- Suzuki, Santana, Nunez

    I hope some of our young guys that can make the catcher's palm hurt make the leap to the bigs this year. They sure would be fun to watch.
  24. Dr. Evil
    Aroldis Chapman end of problem.
  25. Dr. Evil
    Not just last year. The past several years.
