  1. I suppose we could throw in Babe Ruth and Harmon Killebrew as well.
  2. And yet, Kiriloff only played 88 games last year. I'm not sure he'd play a hundred and thirty games if Ghandi and the Mayo brothers were the team trainers.
  3. Part of the issue is how much do we want to count on a guy like Kiriloff who can't stay healthy.
  4. just because a player can demand anything doesn't me he will get what he demands
  5. So he's committed to not spending money he doesn't have. And soon he won't have a Range Rover. Sounds like the system is working as designed.
  6. Soo.... A team other than the Twins might be looking at some cost control measures in light of certain uncertanties for the upcoming season. I had no idea.
  7. Feels like Ohtani will get that money spread out over a much longer time frame.
  8. Always sad to read the comments of someone obviously too young to remember the state of the Twins BEFORE the Pohland's bought it.
  9. They MIGHT trade one but they won't trade both. Too much chance of Larnach being Larnach, Kiriloff being injured and Julien being Miranda. IF all of those things don't happen maybe both are gone by the deadline but they were expected to be gone by the deadline this past year to and that would have been a mistake.
  10. I always laugh at the questions that are asked of athletes, coaches and front office guys. I usually think "what the hell did you expect the guy to say?" What do you need to do different in the second half? Score more points than the other team. Well we're gonna run some different plays. Here are the plays we're gonna run. Go tell the other team. How do you plan to get hitter A out? He can't hit the curve ball so we're gonna throw him curve balls.
  11. Forgot the most obvious: They're in charge and you're not.
  12. I said a year ago that they should have moved on Gabriel Moreno instead of this guy. That being said, and with no seasoned help on the farm, I only move Vasquez if I can bring back a Moreno type of ready to plug and play guy.
  13. I was pounding the table to take a shot at Senzel at the deadline given the versatility you mentioned as well as the fact that he had an OPS over a thousand against lefties in 2023.
  14. Not even sure that your best (maybe only legitimate) CF prospect should even be considered a dark horse. It's a different world now but when the team brought up a young CF in May of 1984 most Twins fans had never even heard of him. THAT was a dark horse. And played out pretty well.
  15. Easy to spend somebody else's money.
  16. Maybe on an 11 year contract.
  17. If Larnach takes a step it probably won't be here.
  18. I'm just happy to see Martin finally making it look like there might be a return on the Berrios trade.
  19. My biggest concern is that Julien / Wallner / Varland don't take the Miranda / Larnach or even, to a certain extent, Kiriloff route.
  20. There is absolutely value there. Just a matter of finding it. If everyone could do that we'd have 30 teams winning the World Series each year.
  21. Folks on this and other sites have been moving on from these two for years. I guarantee that at least one of them, and likely both will be around for 2024. It's great to have guys poised to replace other guys. Even better when those guys don't perform like Larnach and Miranda. The risk of moving both of them will not be something this FO will take. And rightfully so.
  22. Big difference between having a plan to replace that revenue and actually having someone to stroke that check. Until someone does all bets are off.
