    I get it but usually these lists are meant as an indictment of management which is why I like to point out that most teams in most sports can make similar lists.

    Cute exercise that I'm sure serves some sort of useful purpose even though I'm not exactly sure what that purpose is. Pretty sure I could make a similar list for most, if not all, teams in the big leagues.
  4. dxpavelka
    agree
  5. dxpavelka
    Not quite sure how we KNOW that they're not making offers to FA pitchers. Speculate, maybe, KNOW, not so much.
  6. dxpavelka
    Now compare that to the box you see that is alleged to be the strike zone.............
  7. dxpavelka
    Oh hell no. Just watch a game where they show that alleged strike zone and then go read the rule book. Not even close.
  8. dxpavelka
    not to mention that it'*d be friggin' cold for the home opener......

    That's exactly the argue I'm making. Berrios was the ONLY viable option. Yes, there are always alternative uses of money but resigning our own players is the only one this team ever takes advantage of. I would choose to keep Berrios for seven years. We've seen what the price to do so was. We must assume that that this team never offered that amount of money.

    1: Yet to be acquired trade acquisition (Montas, Bassitt, Lopez?) 2: Ryan 3: Yet to be signed free agent (Pineida?) 4: Ober 5: Bundy The only real question would seem to be: What is the MLB record for most different starting pitchers used in a season and will the Twins break it?

    Yes. You're wrong. And you became wrong as soon you started naming names like Ray, Gaussman, DeSclafini, Matz, Wood, Gray & Cobb. The Twins have never spent the kind of money it'd take to get those guys. The only way they'd have spent that kind of money on pitching would have been to keep Berrios. Look at it this way: They could have kept both Buxton and Berrios for less than the Rangers spent on Seager and likely less than somebody ends up spending on Correa. And don't give me the old "Berrios was determined to test free agency" argument. The only reason he never seriously considered re-signing here was because we never made a serious offer. A hundred years of baseball history says that MAYBE one of the two guys they got pans out. Berrios is 27 years old, is one of the top dozen pitchers in baseball and is far more likely to remain in that echelon over the next seven years of his contract than either of the guys we got for him are to reach it. End of story.

    Hey, if we're gonna have non-human umpires, non-human players are the logical next step.
  14. dxpavelka
    the past does nothing for us
  15. dxpavelka
    I'm not interested in past performance.
  16. dxpavelka
    Sure we don't know what Royce Lewis is. But we also don't wait for him for 4 years and then move him before we find out.

    A .779 OPS wins AL MVP..... Return of the deadball era?
  18. dxpavelka
    They beat him like he stole something in this deal. Maybe. Most guys who sign a long term extension play out like Mauer and Pujols. They outproduce their contracts prior to hitting free agency. For the most part they earn their money during the first part of their long term extensions and on the back half of those contracts they are an albatross on the back of the team. Buxton's gonna be a little different. Essentially, for the next seven years his pay is likely to mirror his production. We should be lauding Falvine on this one. And yet, Buxton has the potential to make $23.5 million in any given year. If he does in any year, everyone wins.

    Turns out Semien will become a 2B in a couple hours not seasons.
  20. dxpavelka
    I'm hearing there are PA bonuses too starting at half a million for 502 and going up in half million increments topping out at $2.5 million for 625 PA
  21. dxpavelka
    Electronic strike zone would be the point at which I would STOP watching the game. Look at the box they show on television that purports to be the strike zone and then look at the rules defining the strike zone. Not even close.
  22. dxpavelka
    He's not making any contract demands. He's simply willing to take the best offer made to him. Sadly, the local nine appears unlikely to be the team that will make that offer.
  23. dxpavelka
    Sadly, we're going to be sitting here 15 months from now and Buxton will be elsewhere and he and Berrios will have signed new deals elsewhere for a combined amount less than Carlos Corea will be playing for and we'll be "hoping" for prospects to pan out.
  24. dxpavelka
    What's sad is that we could have probably signed both Buxton & Berrios for less than Carlos Correa's gonna get.
  25. dxpavelka
    Time will tell if you're wrong or not. Not all prospects pan out. This past season we were 3 and 4 years out from having been sellers in 2017 & 2018. The only asset acquired in all those deals who even sniffed contributing this year was Gilberto Celestino and his contribution consisted of a negative WAR.
