    You can never have enough terrible defenders without power.
  2. dxpavelka
    Gordon starting 130 games in the outfield has the ring of another 78 win season. Can't wait.
  3. dxpavelka
    So, obviously we should sign Babe Ruth & Cy Young.
  4. dxpavelka
    Which absolutely means he won't be healthier this year than in the past. Has to. Even if only cuz you said so.
  5. dxpavelka
    Except we're coming off a season in which NONE of the guys you listed grabbed a rotation spot by the balls and squeezed it.
  6. dxpavelka
    HASN'T. The past is an excellent predictor of the past.

    I understand that Kepler & Gallo bring many of the same things to the value table making moving him enticing. However, one of those things each brings to the table is actually showing up at the table. Each of them has played more games the last two years than Larnach & Kirlloff combined. The prospect of trading Kepler and having to run guys like Gordon, Garlick or Contreras out to the corner outfield spots is not appealing. Unless that goal is something other than winning baseball games.

    We moved him a year and a half prior to free-agency. Easy to say what he might or might not have wanted but bottom line is we had a year and a half of control left. Foolish move.

    Just graduating from college means you weren't around for the "3 magical weeks" in 87 & 91. As such, you have no clue of which you speak. If the Twins never win another game, I'll die happy. Now get the hell off my grass.

    Arraez will need peripheral stats (i.e. power) other than BA
  11. dxpavelka
    You old enough to remember those 3 week successful playoff runs?
  12. dxpavelka
    And in doing so we wrote off a whole season. One in which we invested $35 Million in a free agent.
  13. dxpavelka
    One only has to look at the decline of Sano to understand the impact of Cruz' clubhouse presence.
  14. dxpavelka
    The Twins used 14 different starting pitchers in 2022. ONE of them performed at a similar level as Berrios. How might things look in 9 months if attempts to replace Berrios hadn't necessitated losing Chase Petty, Spencer Steer, Steve Hajjar & Christian Encarnancion-Strand?

    Your 3 most successful teams have combined for ONE World Series win in the last 47 years. Twins have two. Maybe we have different definitions of success.
  16. dxpavelka
    If the NFL would follow suit and reduce the number of division games it's entirely possible that somebody other than the Packers would have handed the Vikings their asses today.
  17. dxpavelka
    One you grow ONE home grown pitcher in a generation ya gotta find a way to not let him go.
  18. dxpavelka
    My resolution is to hope that these youngsters make the lack of off-season free agent moves look genius.
  19. dxpavelka
    But the opportunity to land a guy named Warts...
  20. dxpavelka
    If Woods Richardson produces as well as Berrios over the next 6-7 years he'll likely be on the move in 3-4. This team is never going to compete for big name free agent talent. But when they grow their own the can compete to keep it. They NEED to compete to keep it.
  21. dxpavelka
    For the record I'm fairly certain that the Moneyball board pictured is a free agent board and not a draft board. I don't recall the draft even being mentioned in that movie. So what is your recommendation for if BOTH Freight Train Figueroa & Warts Murphey are available at 5?
  22. dxpavelka
    I don't care if they make trades with the moon and Mars to get pitching. Angst from the Berrios trade (at least mine) stems from the fact that we're now a year and a half in to it and we have FIVE big league innings pitched to show for it. AND the fact that we traded away the best (only?) home grown pitching talent we've home grown in a generation AND the fact that the team we traded him to signed him to an extension that we easily should have been able to sign him to.
  23. dxpavelka
    The fairy tale ending would be one of the two spending significant time in the rotation and the other being blocked by Ryan, Gray, Mahle, Maeda, Ober, Winder & Paddack. Hey, a guy can dream.
  24. dxpavelka
    Can't draw any more conclusions about his 1.46 ERA in 12 innings than we can about Sano's .083 BA in 69 PAs.
  25. dxpavelka
    Wonder if that would count towards the luxury tax.
