    I'm curious...what players have said they don't want to play for the Twins? Just asking.
  2. tarheeltwinsfan
    Awesome post RJ. Thanks, I needed that.
  3. tarheeltwinsfan
    Seth, you have been the voice of reason during uncertainty. That is the quality of a good leader. Thank you.
  4. tarheeltwinsfan
    Great post JYT. Sounds like you may have an economics degree with a minor in psychology. Thank you.
  5. tarheeltwinsfan
    Really good post TNT. Thank you for your wisdom.

    This is good to hear from a Reds fan. Thanks.

    Not that Nick needs anyone to defend him, but I respectfully disagree with your statement that Nick always leaves out key details that don't fit his narrative. I don't always agree with Nick, nor any writer at TD, nor any poster at TD, but I feel that all the TD writers are knowledgeable journalists, who try to get to the truth and then write about the truth. However by nature that is difficult to do in this setting, when the FO cannot share medical information without the patient's permission and the FO does not want to share negotiation information nor who is going to be drafted or who was offered to be traded for whom. And there are things that take place on the field and in the clubhouse which need to stay in the clubhouse. We as posters on TD are given free access to post our disagreements. We have freedom of the TD press, as long as we are civil. We are fortunate to have access to this website and to be able to state reasons for our disagreements in a civil manner....thanks mainly to Nick Nelson and the other owners of TD. Happy holidays to all owners, writers and posters at TD. I love this website.

    Maybe the Twins has some reason to doubt Boras. Plus suspiciously Boras seemed to be in a huge hurry. Probably the Twins did not want to sign Correa without confirming why the Giants backed out, so the Twins could make an informed decision. It's called due diligence. Maybe the Twins felt that Correa would not want to move to 3B in New York, and that Correa enjoyed being the acknowledged team leader in Minnesota at SS. Who the hell knows. I'm not sure even Correa knows what happened.

    Good point, but the Twins had to have a decent catcher, whether they signed Correa or not. 30 million for 3 years was most reasonable for a good catcher. Twins probably would not have signed Gallo if they had signed Correa, I'll agree to that. But if true, then we are back to the debate of why sign Gallo under any circumstances?
  10. tarheeltwinsfan
    Now that's really funny.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree that the headline was wonderful. It surely fits my feelings about Mr. Gallo. And I realize that I am probably one of the oldest posters on TD.
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    Who is the "him" you refer to that you would rather have up with men on base? Would you rather have Gallo or Arraez at bat with men on base? I know I did not give you any facts in this scenario, such as no outs, 2 outs, score tied, 3rd inning or ninth inning, etc. I did that on purpose because I could not think of any scenario where I would prefer to have Gallo at bat instead of Arraez.

    Good point Mike. Right now I am asking myself, "Self, why do you spend your time with this? Why do you have your moods affected by something over which you have no control? Isn't there a better way to spend your time?" And just when I thought I was out, spring comes and they reel me back in !
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Seth, Thanks for this post. It makes the most sense to me.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    This whole Correa matter is bizarre and becoming weirder by the day. Boras and Correa, SF and the Mets and the Twins are just playing a different game with rules which are not clear to me, amid swirling speculation and assumptions based on something called sabermetrics, which conflict with my old time gut feelings based on high school baseball experiences from the 1960's. I feel that there are deceptions and half truths mixed in also. So I have decided to take some time off. I will dance with the girl who goes to the spring dance with me and I will leave with her at the end of the dance in October. This is taking too much of my time and energy.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Es posible.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    Not without knowing the absolute truth about what SF perceived the problem to be and getting the problem throughly checked out before offering anything. Due diligence, my friends.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    It depends what his problem is.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    Exactly, minus 1 or 2. :) Just kidding.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I hope the Twins spend the $24,000,000 on signing the best FA relievers who are available. There's not much left in position players of SP which I would want to be playing ahead of what the Twins currently have or will have when Lewis returns.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    It's OK. We're still good Chief. I admit I am shooting from the hip and am just really frustrated with the way this off season has gone for the Twins, except I'm pleased about Vasquez. Besides that, I really appreciate anyone who served in the USAF.

    5 % of $65,000,000 is $3,250,000. That is how much more Boras apparently got by Correa signing for $350,000,000 instead of $285,000,000.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Wait a minute. I just read a Forbes magazine article which said Boras got 5% of his clients' contracts. What do you base your statement that Boras had a flat rate or that Boras did not make more money by getting Correa $350,000,000 than Boras would have made ig Correa had signed for $285,000,000?
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    I did not realize that I assumed Boras charged a percentage of his client's contracts. My mistake. I apologize.

    A quote which comes to mind is from the long gone cartoon, "Pogo" : "We have met the enemy and it is us."
