  1. You're right, it was probably more of a Gordon/Martin argument.... Castro was gonna play no matter what.
  2. That settles the Gordon/Castro debate many have been involved in...
  3. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/mlbpa-hires-carlos-gomez.html
  4. I think the Will Smith signing is the bigger news, HE has been in the BP for the last 3 WS champions....😜
  5. I was Waiting for your "Sign Clevinger for 2 years" comment, and, you sir, did not disappoint!!
  6. That is correct for their 2023 list, they have Ortiz at #63 for 2024, Hall, still considered a rookie, is not ranked. FanGraphs had them at #64 & #66 preseason 2023.
  7. If Lee/Varland was the asking price then the Twins made the right move by not making a move.

  9. Re-read what I said, maybe you need to relax a bit. Or maybe you are as much of a douche as I think you are. I was not getting pissy about the authors POV, I was making a light-hearted joke about the '87 team being able to beat the '65 team because the guys from '65 would be too old to compete with them. Like they say, jokes are less funny when they have to be explained...
  10. Buck says he's ready to go... all BS aside let's agree and let him go play.
  11. If you can seriously say that a championship winning team is not among the best of all time in a franchise's history, then I have no words to describe your doucheness. The '87 team would of course beat the '65 team because most of those guys would have been in their late 40's and 50's, clearly past their baseball prime...
  12. Walker Jenkins DOB - 02/19/2005; 19 years old in a couple of weeks.
  13. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/byron-buxton-planning-to-return-to-center-field-in-2024.html
  14. Gray and Maeda pitched 288.1 innings at a combined ERA of 3.31 that needs to be replaced. IF Ryan can pitch 25 more innings than last season, Ober 30 more innings and Paddack can pitch 125 innings (I'm hoping he's closer to 150 IP) that covers 180 of them. IF Varland can pitch 100 more innings than last season that covers the lost innings. Headrick may be stretched out for long relief/spot starts, there's been talk about stretching out Duran (we'll see) and there are also arms waiting in AAA & AA (Canterino, SWR, Festa, Raya). There will also be non-roster ST invitees (oh dread). Another arm would be nice, probably necessary given how common injuries are to pitchers, and may happen, but Falvey and Levine are delivering the pitching pipeline.
  15. Cuzzi called the double foul, not out, Mauer did single in the AB. Still cost the team at least one run though.
  16. 213 public votes counted (55.5% of total), Mauer sitting at 83.6% (178/213 votes). He needs 110/171 remaining votes (64.3%). Trending very much in the right direction!!
  17. This came across my FB feed - not saying to sign or not sign him, just thought I would share. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1057887268755381
  18. But not even close to Lewis, let somebody else have him...
  19. It only makes sense if Kepler is traded and Kirilloff moves back to the OF. Moving Polanco doesn't open a spot for Hoskins and the FO has publicly stated they aren't moving players solely for salary relief. This move would significantly weaken the defense though; Wallner and Kirilloff on the corner OF spots and Julien/Polanco and Hoskins on the right side of the infield. On a side note, I think TD needs to make a Captain Obvious badge of some sorts and award it to posters that only come on here to bring up injuries, use it as that person's profile pic and deduct reputation points. We all know who's been injured, what type(s) of injuries they have had and how many games they have missed.
  20. How about a big NO to Hicks.....
  21. Presley is 35 and a FA after this season, they may ask him to accept that role or they may try and trade him to get something instead of just letting him walk (he absolutely accepts the QO if offered, highly doubtful they offer it though).
  22. Jeffers was considered below average as a pitch framer by metrics, but was above average overall defensively using the same metrics. Automated umpires will make it all moot anyway.
