    Disappointing to say the least.

    Addressing the rotation in a manner befitting a team looking to win now would be a win now move. Adding a RH hitting fourth OFer would be a win now move.

    Insurance on player contracts is getting rarer, is extremely costly (especially for pitchers), and almost never runs longer than 3 yrs at a time. Here's one article on contract insurance, you can find more easily: https://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/understanding-the-business-of-baseball-insurance-on-player-contracts.html/

    Yes.

    It would be inexplicable NOT to pour pretty much everything you have into this opportunity. Sign Darvish, trade for Archer. Add a RH hitting 4th OFer. See how serious KC is about dumping Herrera. Go for it.

    Outside of a good AAA season in 2017, Garver's minor league career is pretty pedestrian. He's not going to be an offensive force in MLB, if you ask me.
  8. USAFChief
    I have long been of the opinion a good RH hitting 4th OFer would be a huge help to the offense. Granite does nothing for me. I like Bautista's chances of a bounce back best, hitting primarily against LH pitching.

    signing Darvish prevents none of those players from impacting the 2018 Twins, if they earn a shot. what it DOES do is lesson the chances of DEPENDING on them, and/or adds TO them. There's room on a staff of 12 or 13, with 20 or so making an appearance, for all the good pitching you can find.

    Sandy Koufax disagrees.
  11. USAFChief
    Performance incentives are not allowable under the CBA. Playing time incentives are ok, but not performance incentives.
  12. USAFChief
    The Twins will still have those guys if they sign Darvish, no?
  13. USAFChief
    On a serious note, I've been saying since last fall that the biggest difference in Gibson was somwbodyntelling him to throw the 4 seam. I hope it's not a mirage, but it's good to read some first hand confirmation of what my eyes told me.
  14. USAFChief
    yeah, I agree, he's getting there. Very encouraging.
  15. USAFChief
    Kaat? In the rotation?? Don't be ridiculous. He spent the latter part of his career in the pen and that's where he's ticketed in Minnesota.
  16. USAFChief
    Congrats, and well deserved!
  17. USAFChief
    You don’t think “who is on the roster” has anything to do with winning?
  18. USAFChief
    where he also owns Maier Chev.
  19. USAFChief
    not me. He was returned to the Sox in late July, meaning he took up a 25 man spot (or DL spot) and a 40 man spot for almost 2/3ds of the season. For 18 innings of 6 ERA and a fight started in Detroit. An objective look at Twins management should be able to recognize both th good AND the bad. It was a waste of a roster spot, and gave the manager a 24 man team instead of 25 for a good chunk of a season spent clawing for a playoff spot.
  20. USAFChief
    Almost surely it wasn't specifically Kinley they targeted, but almost as surely Burdi/Bard were left off the 40 man with the idea that the team would make a rule 5 pick. So they are related, at least partially.
  21. USAFChief
    I don't think that's the BEST part, but I suppose it's A part.
  22. USAFChief
    if Lewis/Javier work out, also having Buxton would be a fantastic problem to have. If Lewis/Javier don't work out, NOT having Buxton becomes a huge issue. In short, Javier/Lewis have zero to do with signing Buxton.
  23. USAFChief
    It's probably already too late to get a reasonably priced extension done. But if Buxton is willing, Falvine better be all iver this.
  24. USAFChief
    Do you like me? ___ yes ____ no
  25. USAFChief
    This is the wrong time to even consider trading Sano. You'd be selling for pennies on the dollar.
