    At most, Buxton's incentives can add $10.5m per year. That's winning AL MVP and hitting 625 PAs. That's the max. That still leaves ~$40m unaccounted for.

    To start with, there's not a person in the minor leagues today with "a good chance of giving you 6 years as a really solid starting pitcher." Also, for the record, Winder is 25 1/2 as well.
  4. USAFChief
    F. Because it sends one last, irrefutable message this FO/ownership isn't serious about doing what it takes to seriously compete. I had hopes when they were hired,and for a couple years, that the bad old days of "we don't need THE guy, we just need A guy" were over. They're not.
  5. USAFChief
    No. That's not a "rough equivalent." Ginn has some prospect shine, sure, but Oller isn't a prospect at all. 27 year old minor league journeyman, with zero chance of ever having any kind of MLB impact. The Mets got Bassitt for their 5th rated prospect.

    .271/.312/.357 85 OPS+ That's probably about what can be expected. He's not an offensive asset. He's a liability.

    Slots in nicely behind Bundy. ..

    Concur, except for calling IKF a "Gold Glove SS" He's not. Awful trade.
  9. USAFChief
    IKF is going to bat 4, 5 or 6? Holy cow we're going to be even worse than I thought.
  10. USAFChief
    Forced into a platoon disadvantage? First off, he's a RH hitter, so he's always going to be at a platoon disadvantage over his career. There are more RH pitchers than LHers. And second, Jeffers hasn't faced an inordinate number of RH pitchers. He's had 123 PAs against LHed pitching, 232 vs RHed.
  11. USAFChief
    This is a trade made by losing teams. Ask yourself this...is any actually trying to win a WS handing a starting job to IKF? Would the Dodgers? Yankees? Red Sox? Texas moved on, because this is a placeholder. Someone has to stand at SS on opening day. This is not a player that helps you be better than other teams. I couldn't be more disappointed in this FO.
  12. USAFChief
    You want to extend a guy that everyone here will want replaced by opening day 2023?
  13. USAFChief
    We both know WAR is a counting stat. Garver had 243 PAs last year. IKF 677. The Twins certainly needed a SS. I was naively hoping they would acquire something that would be an asset. Spend some gd money. IKF will be something we are all hoping to replace, immediately.
  14. USAFChief
    Still an awful trade.
  15. USAFChief
    Find that quote. I have said Garv has solid stone hands. Still an awful deal. Texas moved on because IKF is a place holder. He plays while you're searching for his replacement.
  16. USAFChief
    No. You know what would have made us better? Adding Trevor Story. For nothing but Pohlad money.
  17. USAFChief
    Terrible.
  18. USAFChief
    This is an AWFUL deal. Holy cow.

    Disappointing, if unsurprising.
  22. USAFChief
    Seems sort of like a solution in search of a problem, mostly.
  23. USAFChief
    I wonder how significant this rule change actually is. I'm too lazy to investigate, but how many players were up/down from the minors 6 or more times in a season over the past decade? Can't be more than a handful.

    Brutal run, but Tyler Jay was the one that was absolutely awful.
