    pay him

    One of the catchers better pan out since the rube base seems convinced we need to move Jeffers cuz we'd get a return the size of Mount Everest.
  3. dxpavelka
    Bell should be the DH, Lewis the 1B. Problem solved.
  4. dxpavelka
    How great is it to know that if / when the time comes to dip into the farm we might be bringing up guys like Jenkins & Culpepper instead of Kyle Garlick & JT Riddle.
  5. dxpavelka
    If Kreidler's going to be your SS that might be an area of need.

    We should chart our own path. Following that of three organizations that haven't won titles in 75 years seems fruitless. Don't tell me we should do ANYTHING just because somebody else did it. Our path should be something different than the one that has lead us to 35 years without a World Series. Retaining our best players seems like a good way to start.

    Trading Jeffers makes perfect sense. IF Tait or Lackey is ready to be the everyday catcher. If you hope to contend, this year or at any point in the next three years it doesn't. Sign the man.

    So the REAL question is: Do the Twins handle said roster spot significantly different than other teams? Outman had 70 plate appearances in 58 games before his release. That projects to 195 over 162 games. I'd be willing to bet you'd be hard pressed to find too many teams with a final guy pushing two hundred plate appearances. Pinch hitting, pinch running and defensive replacement are usually the roles for such fellas. Don't think the Twins are much different than other teams in their use of that guy. That's baseball.

    Not saying we HAVE to trade on just saying if we do i"d prefer it NOT be the best one.
  10. dxpavelka
    is the goal to win the same number of championships those three teams have the last 75 years?
  11. dxpavelka
    commitment to mediocrity

    I said this when we blew stuff up at the deadline last year: The easiest part of a team to rebuild is a bullpen. Did it suck to move our three best bullpen arms last year? Of course. The whole fan base was convinced that Duran was going. Jax HAD to go. There is a real good chance that the only guy who moved who might have been a contributor on a contending Twins team was Varland. And long-term, Rojas might end up being better. I probably should not have said that rebuilding a bullpen is easy. But it IS something that good baseball teams are able to accomplish. Hell, most of them, have to rebuild at least half of their bullpen every year anyway. The sky is not falling boys and girls.

    My favorite thing about baseball. We spend weeks, months, each spring fretting over what the 26 man roster is going to look like. Who is going north. And now, four months later: Paulshawn Pasqualotto
  14. dxpavelka
    So the league is starved for catching and we might have three on the big league roster. Why trade the best one. The move is to trade the guy who is peaking right now and whose value may never be higher-Caratini.
  15. dxpavelka
    Maybe better. And cheaper.
  16. dxpavelka
    Don't know if you've noticed the market over the last few decades but overpaying is what the market bears. Not doing so is how a team wins two playoff series in thirty five years.
  17. dxpavelka
    Yeah, the last thing we need is to find a way to keep a player having a great year.
  18. dxpavelka
    Tom told us he was going to do things differently. Here's his chance. Keep Jeffers. $11-15 million for a high end catcher is NOT unreasonable. And, Caratini's value may never be higher. Trade him. You don't get better when your best players are playing for other teams.
  19. dxpavelka
    The Twins actually have a decent relationship with Boras. Moving Jeffers means you're an injury away from Khadim Diaw as your guy as well. Not to mention that a year ago, both Caratini & Jackson were elsewhere. Depth can be had. Much easier than quality can be found.
  20. dxpavelka
    Some would say that keeping one of the best overall catchers in the game would be spending wisely......
  21. dxpavelka
    And cut down to only a half dozen left handed hitting corner outfielders? That seems ballsy.
  22. dxpavelka
    Why not keep the MLB catcher we have?
  23. dxpavelka
    How about trading Caratini when his value may never be higher and keep (and sign) Jeffers? Tom wants us to believe in him, here's a way to accomplish that.
  24. dxpavelka
    We are assuming there will be MiLB play during a lockout. This work stoppage may well be of a magnitude and scope previously unseen.
  25. dxpavelka
    The possible impending work stoppage is exactly why we need to see as much big league time as we can see from as many of Jenkins, Rodriguez, Culpepper, Mendez and (gulp) Sabato between now and the end of this season. The possibility of the arrival of March 2028 (or, heaven help us, midsummer) and having NOT seen what these guys look like against big league pitching is NOT a good idea. Especially for a team mostly selling hope.
