    Amazing how many folks know what the Pohlads are going to do.

    you don't get better when your best players are playing for other teams
  3. dxpavelka
    I'd still like to see Royce at 1B. Plenty of guys in the wings to play the other three infield spots: Keashcall, Lee, Culpepper, Houston, DeBarge, Winkour, Amick (maybe projects as a 1B) I sure hope we didn't move a bunch of guys at the deadline to bring more guys to move at the deadline.

    Everybody forgets one small point in this matter: The Pohlads NEVER, at any point, said the WERE going to see the team. The only thing that was EVER said was that they were going in investigate a sale. Nobody met the price they were looking for. End of story.
  5. dxpavelka
    We hope it has. But until these guys PROVE to be more than the Kiriloffs, Larnachs & Covacos of the worlds You're just speculating on that.. I hope you are right. Hope is not a good strategy.
  6. dxpavelka
    You just presented both sides of the coin. Cavaco out of HS and Sabato out of college. You really didn't make any sort of argument.

    Also three years older than WJ.

    HOPE is not a viable strategy.

    All i care about with this kid is seeing him get half a season in the big leagues in 2026 so in case there is a work stoppage and no season in 2027 we're not still sitting here at the start of 2028 (which MIGHT not be until mid summer) and wondering what we've got with the kid 5 years post draft.
  10. dxpavelka
    agreed

    I am always amused by the "after the 2023 season was the time to go all in by spending big money" fable. Was this team poised for more at that point? Absolutely. Where would you have spent that money? Take a look at the team as constructed at that point. Would you have replaced Correa? With more of the same? Not really. Kepler coming off .816 OPS? Probably not. You don't make the playoffs in 2023 without Solano and you have Kirilloff waiting in wings. Julien coming off .839 OPS and 7th place in the ROY voting? I suppose you could have replaced Buxton. But I'd hope you'd be smarter than that. Gallo in LF is obvious but you have Larnach waiting in the wings. Royce at 3B? Are you TRYING to get fired? Not willing to move forward with Jeffers? OK. Your 4th best starter on that team is now a top 10 in MLB guy. I suppose you COULD have gotten in on the Ohtani sweepstakes. Got news for ya boys and girls. He wasn't coming here for a BILLION dollars. Matt Chapman? I suppose you could have pulled the plug on Lewis. I suppose you could have re-signed Gray. Has he REALLY been better than any of your big three since he left? If you go by straight WAR SWR has been better since he left. I'll wait.

    WE might welcome a Twins, Cubs, White Sox, Brewers division but I am certain MLB would have other ideas. The only way this would fly would be if the Cubs were to be on board. And I doubt they would. Would not be the least bit surprised if the Cubs preferred keep their rivalry with the Cardinals rather than with the White Sox and certainly ahead of the Twins. It's fun to think about but not gonna happen.

    Sadly few of us are as good at this as we claim to be
  14. dxpavelka
    So you are a fan. Which means, that at the end of the day, if the team doesn't win the World Series, (and in some places, even if they do) you, as a fan are far more capable of doing their jobs than the manager, the front office, the scouts and the ownership. I get it. But it's not just you, it's most fans.
  15. dxpavelka
    That makes me want to see Jenkins for half a season at the big league level. Just remembering how 2020 screwed up some young fellas. Don't want to be sitting in 2028 (and maybe with the season not even starting on time) with Jenkins 5 years post draft and not having made his big league debut.
  16. dxpavelka
    I agree with your premise but also remember that relief pitching is fickle. We MAY win on those trades merely by virtue of those guys no longer being what we thought they were a few years down the road.
  17. dxpavelka
    I hope this is your 2026 projection cuz if it's beyond and Jenkins isn't prominent in it there will be lots of angst. Also, and maybe this is just a minor point, but I'm not sure we want to refer to the young man as Emmy. Maybe Emma (not sure about that one either) or maybe E-Rod but I'm just not sure Emmy works. Kind of like me telling my 8 year old granddaughter that, yes, she can come with me to my fantasy football draft but, NO, she can't bring Veggie Straws. Just doesn't work.
  18. dxpavelka
    for certain
  19. dxpavelka
    Everybody acts like the team was going to be sold. NOBODY EVER said that they were going to sell. They said they were going to explore selling the team. I told anyone who would listen at that time that what was said meant nothing. None of you believed me. Here we are. To sell something you need both a seller and a buyer who can agree on a price. We don't have that. Get over it.
  20. dxpavelka
    BUY..THE..TEAM
  21. dxpavelka
    Falvey built this team exactly the way fans clamored for this team to be built before Falvey was hired. No more of the Gardy & Terry Ryan's gut instinct stuff. Build a strong analytics department and listen to them. YOU wanted it and you got it. Fans should be pissed ownership for ONE thing: Listening to the fans. Twins fans are the most fickle group of humans on the planet. The only thing they hate more than the team not spending money is the team spending money. Ownership needs to spend like drunken sailors. Why did they pay that guy?
  22. dxpavelka
    Ya'll had your chance. Any one or any group of you had your chance to pony up and by the team. You didn't.
  23. dxpavelka
    Not to mention Gonzalez, DeBarge, Winkour, Gallagher, Amick, Diaw & Olivares who should be ready no later than 2027. Of course, there won't BE a 2027 so that kinda sucks.
  24. dxpavelka
    The announcement last fall said nothing of selling the team. I said the would "explore" selling the team. Only a fool would not realize the difference.
  25. dxpavelka
    I will agree with a lot, if not most, of what you just posted. Except the part about trading for an established closer. Quick, when was the last time we successfully traded for an established closer?
