    OR we would win the game because the pen didn't have to pitch 5 innings........
  2. dxpavelka
    Actually, Killebrew as released.
  3. dxpavelka
    How about we trade for an elite relief pitcher and move Jhoan Duran, the ace right under our noses, to the rotation.......

    Not at all concerned about any injury history. Yeah, he got derailed a bit in 2021 but threw 216 total innings in 2018 & 2019. Didn't pitch in the Covid year in 2020 which could have contributed to missing time in 2021. Bounced back nicely in 2022. Your Santana comp is spot on. Only 35 % of Santana's appearances in his first 4 years here were starts but by 2002 & 2003 you could already tell that even in less than half time starting duty he was our most productive starter. The ace we seek and need is probably right under our noses and we're too damn busy cutting off our noses to spite our faces to see.

    I find the fan base angst at losing a player deemed to be "fun" to watch to be rather amusing to see considering the apathy regarding the departure of a player I consider the most entertaining Twin since Harmon Killebrew. There has been NO Twin in the last 50 years whose at bats caused me to stop whatever else I might be doing to watch him hit like Miguel Sano. Yeah, I know, there was a 37% chance he was gonna strike out. But there was also a chance he was gonna hit it into a suburb. Chix Dig Long Ballz Baby.

    Don't sleep on Taylor when he starts. Won't be that often but a couple dozen times?
  7. dxpavelka
    Expect the previously mentioned grandstanding. 3 years?
  8. dxpavelka
    Wait. You mean the off-season doesn't end when the Winter Meetings wrap up? Who knew?
  9. dxpavelka
    I think your last sentence gives rube credit where not due. Gordon never surpassed .716 in any other season. Even Twins fans would not have been clamoring to have him around.
  10. dxpavelka
    Glad you threw in the "as he has been for three years" after saying the Kepler is the most likely trade target. He's not moving for one of two reasons. One good, one bad.
  11. dxpavelka
    Who is more likely to be earning his paycheck at 35, Rodon or Correa?
  12. dxpavelka
    Not at all. But it certainly doesn't make you untouchable. And it also isn't a lot from a batting champion. Find me a batting champ with a lower OPS. GO....
  13. dxpavelka
    no
  14. dxpavelka
    Or a guy with knees living on borrowed time.
  15. dxpavelka
    Most entertaining hitter to wear a Twins uniform since Killebrew. Perfect candidate for future "We didn't need him" features.
  16. dxpavelka
    Wait. You mean a guy can win a batting title and then drop to .244......
  17. dxpavelka
    Nothing screams exciting baseball like winning a batting title with sub .800 OPS.....
  18. dxpavelka
    Not like we're replacing Babe Ruth or Henry Aaron. Replacing a batting champion who couldn't put up an .800 OPS en route to said title.
  19. dxpavelka
    His best seasons came when he pitched more innings. His only real injury concern was in 2021 after not pitching at all in 2020. The only season he had an ERA of 5.00 was a season in which he pitched 16 innings. In the end it matters not what you think or what I think. But at the end of the day if we don't take a chance we'll always be left with doubt.
  20. dxpavelka
    "The Twins used him as a starter throughout his professional career", to me is the key point in any Duran discussion. What if the lock down ace # 1 we so desire is right under our noses? It's not like he had disappointing results as a starter in the minors. Hell, those numbers were good enough for us to want to get him into the big leagues in any role. I always felt like we left a little something on the table a while back when we never found a way to get Trevor May back into the rotation and I think we'd be doing the same here. Speaking of May, he currently projects to be the highest paid pitcher for the A's this season at about $6 Million. When the selloff begins and we're once again looking for bullpen help, that's a call we should be making.

    Another infielder trying to play outfield? NO
  22. dxpavelka
    Even I'm not feeling any pain at this time of the season........
  23. dxpavelka
    Never forget that advanced analytics is an excellent method of predicting the past. Now you kids get the hell off my lawn.
  24. dxpavelka
    Where they gonna find a healthy AK?
  25. dxpavelka
    Been a Twins fan for 50 years. A decade of the Calvin years and four decades of the Pohland years. Can't for the life of me fathom Twins fans whining about those "cheap bastards" OVER paying a guy with the pop to hit 30 home runs in a season.
