  1. Actually, we have a lot of options, MOST of whom can replace him right now. Farmer, Solano, Gordon for sure. Julien and / or Lee if we have the balls to take a shot. Pretty much just Lewis & Martin that can't step in now. Not to mention that this is the type of situation you brought Willi Castro here for.
  2. 83. Haven't added offensive punch; relying on health. What could go wrong? Added pitching depth but not an ace. What could go wrong? Bullpen should (could) be stronger--IF healthy. What could go wrong?
  3. This can't be. I've spent two months with folks telling me I was crazy for being concerned that we haven't addressed our lack of offense and now you're trying to tell me that in addition to that we're right back where we were with the injury situation. Woe is me.
  4. Should have targeted Gabriel Moreno when everyone thought the Jays would move a different C.
  5. Astros signed Jon Singleton to a 5 year $10 million deal in 2014. He rewarded them with 420 plate appearances and a negative .9 WAR
  6. It means that the 150 games a year we've been able to watch for free for the last few decades will no longer be free. OK, maybe they haven't been free. They've been factored into our cable cost. But at the end of the day they WILL end up costing you MORE. Which MIGHT be fine. The majority of folks who will read this have spent decades begging for the team to spend more. Here's our opportunity to contribute more so they CAN spend more. We should all be ecstatic.
  7. Any thread about Martin IS about the trade. At least until one of them does something to make the trade look worthwhile. Like it or not.
  8. No reason to believe he wouldn't have signed the same deal here that he did in Toronto. If there is than there is also a need for some serious organization introspection. If I had a nickel for every zero doubt guy who never got there, I'D have been able to sign Berrios.
  9. None of which are any indication of what he would be if he were still here. And as terrible as you might want to believe he was last year, he still would have been better than any Twins starter not named Joe Ryan and by the end of this year will most likely be better than any Twins starter not named Pablo Lopez.
  10. It means we're nearly two years into the Berrios trade with no return.
  11. I'll take the over on wins, but barely. They've helped their depth but haven't really done much to improve.
  12. And he will be gone soon after he realizes that the role the team is using him in will cost him tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars over the course of his career.
  13. Should also have mentioned that the last time he hit above .223 was 2019
  14. Interesting the Gallo gets MVP love by hitting Sano's career batting average and hitting Sano's per 162 number of home runs.
  15. Luckily those seldom turn out bad.
  16. Not at all. But don't assume the moves we've made this off-season will put us over the top. For the most part we've replaced pieces with other similar, but hopefully better pieces. HOPE is not a good strategy.
  17. They may already have one. He pitches in the 8th or 9th inning most nights. Until we're willing to seriously consider this option we're wasting our time even discussing this issue.
  18. Pretty sure they thought they had covered all those bases the last two years.
  19. Luckily, this year, we're not at all relying on the guys who couldn't stay on the field last year
  20. I for one, take a look at the "lineup that has the potential to withstand the blow of losing Arraez" and see a lineup that scored fewer than 700 runs last year and wonder where offense needed to win a World Series is gonna come from.
  21. Said this from day one and will say it again. The Orioles will rue the day they passed on a guy named after Brooks Robinson.
  22. Been many a year that Twins fans would have been ecstatic to have a guy with a sub 4.50 ERA (and career sub 4.00) at the end of the pen.
  23. Not sure who will get the start but the closest thing we've had to an "ace" in a generation will probably come into the game in the 8th or 9th inning.
