  1. If they are willing to pay slot value then it is no longer on the FO, $6-7 MM is ALOT of $$$.
  2. He had runners on ahead of him that were waiting to see if a catch was made, if he passes 1 of them its an out.
  3. His arm strength his comparable to Farmer and Miranda, and better than Solano.
  4. It was actually nice to see the team jumping on those first pitch fastballs instead of taking strike 1. 12 pitches in and they were up 5-1.
  5. Agreed, Maeda has a 2.73 ERA (2.56 FIP) and a slash line against of .198/.265/.308 (.572 OPS) in addition to averaging 5+ innings per start since returning from the IL.
  6. Evidently sarcasm is not one of your strong points, so I will just play it straight from here on out. - I do not think that the Twins will trade Ryan, he is not an "Ace" but he is slots in very nicely as the teams 2 or 3. - I do not think the team will fall out of contention in 11 days, but they are not showing the ability to separate from pack in a very mediocre division. - I fully agree that Paddack will be a part of the 2024 rotation (probably 2023 also, or at least BP), but he is coming off of his second TJ surgery and it is unknown what he contribute. SWR, Varland or a FA signing could fill out the rotation. - I believe Gray and Maeda would both accept QO if tendered, otherwise both could wind up sitting deep into the off-season or go unsigned. The team may be able to sign one to a FA contract, but I don't think it would be for more than about 3/$36-$39 MM. Contradictory statement I know, but any of these is a possibility with these two. - I prefer my little slice of heaven up in NW MN, but would be willing to come look...
  7. I believe 1 won't happen, and I hope 1 won't happen....
  8. 11 days until the trade deadline, some team is one little hot-streak from being in contention or one starting pitcher injury away from falling out of contention - there is and will be a market for him. I believe the team would have to be absolutely blown away by the offer to move him, and would also had to have fallen out of contention.
  9. He doesn't actually say they should trade him, he just points out that he is an obvious target for other teams. He is in the prime of his career, he has a team-friendly salary, and his actual and predictive stats are good. Also, only he, Ober and P. Lopez are guarantees for next season's rotation. Two open spots will be hard enough to fill. Let's lighten up in here a bit guys!!
  10. The current rock-handed second baseman is better than the traded rock-handed second baseman...I said what I said!!
  11. He was asking about the Murphy HR...it was a HR in 29 of 30 MLB parks, only Arizona's was it not.
  12. Well, it wouldn't have been a HR in Arizona....so yes!!
  13. And he has 62 pitches through 3, silly trade off but sometimes that's what's needed...
  14. We all wanted Wallner, he's not quite ready for Prime Time it would seem...
  15. Watched it again, my bad. He pulled up while Watkins was waving him home. Kep's head must still be in Paris....
  16. LF had the ball before Kepler got to 3rd and the ball was to the cut off man in front of him, no way he scores there...
  17. The pitch that just hit Wallner would have been a swinging strike by the other DH...
  18. Pitch 2-3" inside called a strike - "rook hasn't earned that call yet..."
