    Please note the word "top." "Top" free agents are getting contracts that start with the numbers 2 or 3 or even 4. $100 Million may not be inconsequential but it's not "Top."

    Don't recall saying anything about Simmons rebounding to any major league average. Just don't think Goodrum is going to give you anything that's going to elevate the play of the team.
  3. dxpavelka
    Really don't need a case against this team signing the top free agents. Just need to deal in reality. This team will never sign top free agents. The hope is that they just re-sign their OWN top free agents. Sadly, that's starting to look like a pipe dream as well.

    The EYE test is all I need to say HE SUCKS
  5. dxpavelka
    Highly unlikely to get more production from Goodrum than from Simmons.
  6. dxpavelka
    Since the Tigers just did the opposite of that that would seem unlikely. Minor League deal maybe. And the Tigers are a team looking to take the next step. Shouldn't we be doing the same?
  7. dxpavelka
    Then put Gordon as SS for the first half of 2022, or resign Simmons (far more likely to bounce back offensively than Goodrum is to suddenly become Derek Jeter) push your cards to the middle of the table and call it good.

    He's a career .230 hitter. Not sure what world that is average in. And, no I have no evidence that $800k is a bad contract for a 4th OF I DO, however, have a firm belief that having a .230 hitter as a 4th OF (or anywhere else you choose to put him.) is a recipe for another disappointing season in 2022.
  9. dxpavelka
    Not sure that bringing in a career .230 whose presence would mostly serve to block guys like Lewis, Martin, Gordon and maybe even Cavaco, Soularie & Steer would accomplish.
  10. dxpavelka
    Braves and Astros thrived with below average catching because they had World Series caliber teams surrounding them. Not sure that applies here.
  11. dxpavelka
    You don't get the angst?? Here, let me clear it up for you: Jake Cave.
  12. dxpavelka
    I question whether your bank account could handle the needed number of drinks.
  13. dxpavelka
    If they trade Buxton for prospects one of those prospects better be ready to play CF cuz I damn sure don't want to see cave (or Garlick or Refsnyder) playing there and I don't see any of our current other options (possible exception being Celestino taking a step forward) as being ready.
  14. dxpavelka
    Why threaten to drop him. Just drop him.
  15. dxpavelka
    Seems a village has lost its idiot.......
  16. dxpavelka
    Gonna be a lot of pissed off Twins fans when we realize we could have kept both Buxton & Berrios for less than Carlos Correa's gonna get from someone.
  17. dxpavelka
    We'll soon be looking up and seeing that Buxton & Berrios are both signed to long term extensions for a combined total of less than Carlos Correa. And we'll be HOPING that a prospect pans out. Good Luck.
  18. dxpavelka
    If the offer isn't $125 Million, Buxton's not staying here. Gonna be a sad day when we look up and see that we could have kept both Buxton & Berrios for less than Carlos Correa will sign for.
  19. dxpavelka
    I don't think the Mauer signing hampered spending. Actually, what we learned from Atlanta was that those supplements don't have to be big dollar signings they just have to be the RIGHT signings. Almost every team does what we did this past year. At the end of the year, only one of them gets it right.
  20. dxpavelka
    Stroman's not signing here for 5 years $100 million any more than Buxton's re-signing here for 5 years $84 million. Unreasonable free agent expectations are a waste of time.
  21. dxpavelka
    The Pohlads have always been willing to spend responsibly to keep their own players. Folks forget that prior to moving Johan Santana they gave him a reasonable extension. They even made very good offer before trading him. The Mets would have been wise to have paid him what the Twins had offered rather than what they eventually paid him. The one time the Twins overpaid, for Joe Mauer, the fans eventually crucified them.
  22. dxpavelka
    If they've never struggled, they've already broken out.
  23. dxpavelka
    So what you're saying is to go get a guy who is basically Simmons without the Gold Glove. AND give something other than cash up for him. I dunno.
  24. dxpavelka
    By definition, breakout candidates almost have to be guys who've struggled.
  25. dxpavelka
    The 5 years sounds right but the total price is more likely gonna be $125 million.
