    A career OPS+ of 101 for someone who just turned 25 qualifies as "utter garbage".... for a 21-48 team! Unbelievable
  2. alarp33
    I never mentioned Arcia. I asked when Rosario has hit since 2013? Or at a level higher than A ball. He had an unsustainable amount of triples in 2015, and when those vanish, so does any potential value he has. If he can get on base even 30% of the time it will be a first since A ball
  3. alarp33
    So he couldn't hit at SS, because he was terrible there. He's equally terrible as a CFer, and equally cannot hit, but this time because he's too tired? Got it. So why is he in the Major Leagues?
  4. alarp33
    When did Rosario hit? His .289 OBP in 2015 was him "hitting"?
  5. alarp33
    65 of his 68 starts in 2015 were at SS. Was he worn out when he hit .215/.241/.291 last year?

    For everyone saying Santana serves a purpose. He's been the worst player in all of baseball since the start of 2015. What purpose is he serving?
  7. alarp33
    Did he say "we're gonna get this right"? That's my favorite TR standby quote. Reallyyyyyyy reassuring
  8. alarp33
    Criticism should be tempered? Lol. They are on their way to a 50-112 season and haven't won a playoff game in 12 years with the same person in charge. Btw, the past "few" seasons have been terrible? It's actually 5 of 6
  9. alarp33
    John Jaso is 32 and had all of 10 major league at bats by the age Arcia is today.
  10. alarp33
    His MLB OPS vs Right handed pitchers is .785 (.316/.469). I don't think you'll find many people who thought he should be a full time starter in the outfield. But he could've been an extremely productive LH Platoon at DH
  11. alarp33
    I'm fine with Park being in the Majors, the team is awful so why not. But sending him to AAA for a few weeks > Letting go of Arcia.
  12. alarp33
    You missed option Park who is 5 years older than Arcia
  13. alarp33
    It was another poster who brought up Beresford. I think his point was... there's no need to keep Danny Santana around because there are plenty of players always available capable of his production. Beresford was just one example (not saying the team needs him now, just that he's a guy you could use in a pinch)
  14. alarp33
    I'm not understanding your argument. DFA'ing Danny Santana instead of Arcia would've opened a 40 man spot for Bereford or a random waiver utility guy
  15. alarp33
    It's a very difficult injury to diagnose, the tears don't often show up in an MRI. So you tell him to go in and have the surgery right away, and his career is likely over... or you see if rehab will work and try to hold off on the surgery. The Twins medical staff has deserved blame for how they've handled injuries in the past, I'm not seeing it here. *Perkins should not have been pitching the opening week, or in the 2nd half last year. I'm not sure if that's on him or the staff
  16. alarp33
    At least Punto was good at something (defense), there's literally nothing Santana is good at other than being fairly speedy
  17. alarp33
    As bad as Buxton was for the first 3 weeks, and as meh he's been in the 2 weeks since the recall.... He'll have a higher OPS than Plouffe if he gets a hit next at bat
  18. alarp33
    I wasn't very clear, by this: He's a FA after this season. If he had remained all star level, he may have commanded $10-12 million/year in 2017 + 2018 I meant you could sign him to an extension now (if they would have held off back in 2014), and the Pohlad's are out ~$4million per year (he'd command a salary around $10.5 mill/ year in 2017+'18 if he continued to pitch at a high level, so 10.5-6.5(actual salary) = $4 million. So in all reality the best case scenario was a mid 30s pitcher held up physically and pitched at an elite level, and the Pohlad's were able to save around ~$4 million per year by signing him 3 years early Dozier, Hughes, Perkins are the recent examples
  19. alarp33
    Not sure I understand your worst case. Where does Tony Sipp come into it? They could have signed him to a contract extension now, during the 2016 season, at a higher price than $6.5 (like I said, $10-12).. if he continued pitching well, if he wasn't willing to sign that, they could have traded him for prospects. They also have turned to a draft philosophy of picking multiple bullpen arms, so I would hope one of those would be ready to take the reigns in 2017. Unless I'm forgetting something, the next time Terry Ryan signs a vet to contract extension multiple years prior to that vet needing an extension and it works out great, will be the first.
  20. alarp33
    He was already under contract in 2015 (and 2016) Worst Case Scenario for NOT extending a 2nd time 3 years from FA. He's a FA after this season. If he had remained all star level, he may have commanded $10-12 million/year in 2017 + 2018.. That's either 1 less Tommy Milone the Pohlad's can afford, or a hell of a trade chip for a 20-45 team. Worst Case Scenario FOR extending a 2nd time 3 years from FA. He gets hurt and misses the entire 2016+2017 seasons, making $13 million without pitching.
  21. alarp33
    The Twins were about to lose 90 games for the 4th straight year, and the potential "reward" was to guarantee the age 34 + 35 seasons to a 31 year old closer. Closers have a short shelf life, I don't see the value in that. We'll have to agree to disagree
  22. alarp33
    Ok, thanks. Next time I will try to be more exact when I throw out random comparisons to myself and Twins players, in case anyone thinks they really mean anything and wants to try to pick apart every word I wrote for accuracy. I was not surprised it was a torn labrum, I had similar symptoms before both of mine. Does that work?
  23. alarp33
    Sweet, thanks for the tip. You seemed to know exactly how Perkins felt based off your original response However I don't think that describes what Perkins was experiencing. I'm surprised you would need the hyperlink http://www.1500espn.com/twins-2/2016/06/glen-perkins-has-another-mri-on-shoulder-will-get-another-opinion-in-anaheim/

    Gotta be honest, I have no idea what Billy Butler or the A's have to do with this. He was willing to take a very good home town deal... when he was already under contract to a very good home town deal for 3 more years. There's a reason his agent approached the Twins, not the other way around. What he agreed to in 2014.... he agreed to take more money in 2014+2015 then his current contract paid him, a guarantee of $6.5 in 2016 (when the previous option was for $4.5)... and agreed to give the Twins 2 new years of control, for $6.5 + $6.5 or $700k buyout (option)...
  25. alarp33
    $7.2 million since you need to include the buyout. They also paid him about $1.5 million more (total) in '14 + '15 then they needed to. And $6.5 million this year, when they could've paid either $4.5 mill, or buy him out for $300k. Pretty sound deal? Not so much
