    I would package Julien, Kepler, Larnach and low-level minor leaguer for Gilbert. Seattle fills 2B, covers the RF loss of Teoscar Hernandez, can maybe get Larnach on the right track (he's a west coast kid and played at Oregon State) and gets a throw in that may or may not pay out. Minnesota still has Polanco (and Farmer) to hold 2B down until Lee gets here mid-season, moves Kepler for salary relief, allows Larnach to possibly reach his potential (evidently not going to happen here) and fills out the rotation.

    Turnbull on a minor league deal. He might get other offers, but I think with some of the question marks in the Twins rotation he may see it as chance to improve his value. He and Varland can compete for the 5th spot in ST, with the other starting the year in St. Paul. None of the bats present a better option than what the team has internally. Maybe a ST invite for Meadows, to me he is the only hitter listed with any upside.. Other than that, I would rather bring back Maeda.

    Rowson's coaching career, like many of the players he coached, peaked in 2019. Let him ride that success as far as it will take him.

    I think Larnach, Wallner, Polanco and Jeffers should all get a 1B glove for Christmas and put in a lot of practice after receiving it. Julien and Miranda as well. Or they could re-sign Solano as none of the other FA 1B intrigue me. Well, maybe Hoskins, but his price will be too high

    Agree 100%.

    If Turner plays CF sign him, if not let somebody else...
  8. mnfireman
    Personally, I think it is very likely he will accept the qualifying offer and ultimately sign elsewhere. But I'm not as convinced as everyone that it's a total lock. I don't think that's how it works...
  9. mnfireman
    Now hire him as the hitting coach...

    Jiminez will be 29 in January, Pagan will be 33 in May. Similar numbers or not, Pagan is not getting the same contract.

    Lewis' minor league fielding percentage was .956, Correa's was .968 and Arraez's was .983. What's your point?
  12. mnfireman
    Looked pretty healthy against Houston....
  13. mnfireman
    Lewis finished healthy, not sure where you're going here...

    A QO is an overpay, especially for a pitcher who will be 36 shortly after opening day next season. That being said, according to FanGraphs, he has been worth $12+ MM every season of his career, so maybe 2 yrs $25 MM?

    Jeffers cannot be traded before a suitable replacement is in place, I don't want Vazquez behind the plate for 125+ games if 2023 is his norm. While Castro might fetch a better return, I would be more open to trading Gordon, Larnach & Miranda. 1 guy plays all positions covered by these 3 (except 1B) and 2 of them could be highly sought after by the right team(s). Free Trevor Larnach. He deserves a chance, but this FO does not seem willing to give it to him. Package him with Miranda and try to fill some needs.
  16. mnfireman
    He didn't, the chart is pre-season projections. Jeffers. actual bWAR and fWAR were considerably higher than Vazquez.

    Astro's doing their best Twins impression; bases loaded, nobody out = 0 runs!!
  18. mnfireman
    How did winning 100 games turn out for Los Angeles and Baltimore (and maybe Atlanta)? Other than Abreu and Alvarez (7 HR, 14 RBI), Twins pitching basically shut down the rest Houston offense (3 HR, 6 RBI). The offense was bad, but maybe the team builds on experience and a successful playoff run can be sustained for many years going forward.
  19. mnfireman
    Very good arguments and astute insights into personal opinions of the obstruction rule. However, I still feel had Rocco challenged, or even went out to just talk to the umpire about the Lewis call, that it may have led to the umpire crew being more aware (much like Maldonado complaining about his pitchers not getting high strikes) and perhaps led to a call for Correa. Perhaps not. The team still won, but sometimes just putting a bug in the umps ear, or making them aware you are willing to challenge, can do big things. We will see going forward.

    Just re-watched this play on mlb.com game recap. Lewis had to swing way out to his right to avoid Maldonado standing in the baseline. I think if the game was closer Baldelli may have used a challenge there.
  21. mnfireman
    But it's funny when A-Roid calls him out!!
  22. mnfireman
    Take that Pena!!
  23. mnfireman
    I think Castro agrees with Tucker there.....
  24. mnfireman
    Better get Duran ready...
  25. mnfireman
    Agreed!!
