    Probably not too soon to move Duran. Cuz the day he hits free agency, he gone.

    Now convince me that the guys the Twins have run out to left field the last four years have been better OR contributed to playoff success. Or even getting to the playoffs. And YES he WAS instrumental in a World Championship run.

    His career post-season OPS is .865. We've made the post-season ONCE in four seasons since he left. We've faded epically down the stretch on more than one occasion. Neither of the former 1st round draft picks whose imminent rise to stardom was a big part of the reason we felt compelled to not pay him has managed to put together a single season with an OPS of .800. They have combined to average 68 games played per season But, sure, things have worked out well.

    Whens the last time the Twins were on a heater in the playoffs?

    Just got my "Get Off My Lawn Badge" Old enough to remember when ZERO Twins fans would NOT be incensed at the thought of NOT bringing a guy back over $7 million. Couldn't believe it when we let Rosario go over $8 million. We've never really replaced his production "in the aggregate." We'll miss Castro's production and probably even Kepler's. (Yeah, I said it)

    And some of us are old enough to vividly remember baseball life around these parts BEFORE the Pohlads. With that background it can be tough to criticize. Just sayin

    I didn't say it did. Was merely responding to you responding to someone else saying something about guys debuting at 27 by saying he was only 26 and I pointed out that by the time he debuted he would probably be 27. Actually there IS empirical evidence about players who debut older don't last as long in the big leagues. But yes, I believe that if he's the best guy for the position in the Spring, he should be the starter. However, I would expect that to be highly unlikely. Truth be told I'm not sure that top 5 in strikeouts in Texas League fits as "impressive."
  9. dxpavelka
    McCusker might be 26 but IF he hits the bigs it probably won't be until after he turns 27.

    I don't often admit that I'm wrong. (I'm not often wrong) But in mid-May when Solano had 5 RBI I laid into the team for signing him. But from almost that immediate moment until the end of the season he carried them and they don't even sniff the playoffs without him. Felt like Santana was going to do the same this year. He faltered (offensively) down the stretch. We'll miss his defense next year. And Kepler's. Built in excuses for next year. We'll get some ******** (from fans as well as the team) about not being able to justify paying for that defense but then hear excuses about not having it.
  11. dxpavelka
    Careful. If you make it sound like you think the Twins might in any way miss Kepler a whole lot of folks on this site are gonna have their heads fall off. Hope you're ready to be the reason for that.
  12. dxpavelka
    Actually the veteran bargain basement guy at 1B was a big reason they DID make the playoffs in 2023
  13. dxpavelka
    I fear that when I used the phrase "most entertaining Twins hitter in a decade" you thought I meant Arraez. Partially my fault since I misspoke. I should have said generation not decade. Trust me Arraez, while a very good hitter, is NOT the Twins 1B that you had to stop whatever you were doing whenever he went to the plate just to make sure you didn't miss something.
  14. dxpavelka
    relying of potential like that of Miranda and Kiriloff is how we got tee times in October.
  15. dxpavelka
    Potential is a nice word. What it really means is unfulfilled potential. Translation-failure.
  16. dxpavelka
    Lee better hit from the first time he picks up a bat or the Larnach / Kirilloff comparisons start soon and feel all to real.
  17. dxpavelka
    just said it did nothing to improve the team. prove me wrong
  18. dxpavelka
    Correa, Lewis & Lee. If you're not going to commit to one of them at each of 2B, 3B & SS you might as well move one to 1B.
  19. dxpavelka
    I hate to bring it up but it almost feels like getting rid of the most entertaining Twins hitter in a decade did nothing to improve the team......
  20. dxpavelka
    As I said the moment they announce they would "explore" selling the team, there is a big gap between "exploring" a sale and making a sale. And sadly for the average Twins fan, there could likely be an even bigger gap between selling the team and selling the team to someone who operates it in a manner the average Twins fan would approve of.
  21. dxpavelka
    Fresh off an article on this very site about three former Twins relievers achieving post-season success this very post-season. Touche
  22. dxpavelka
    Should trade him from the bullpen to the starting rotation.
  23. dxpavelka
    And yet we all know better than that.
  24. dxpavelka
    65, 69 and 70 weren't bad either. Trading away Blylevin & Carew sucked. I'd like to think the purge in 81 & 82 lead to 87 & 91.
  25. dxpavelka
    You named 7 potential replacements for the two cornerstone pitchers. History says that three of the seven will flame out, two will be average, one above average and one MIGHT become a star. Keep what you got. Find a way.
