    And the LAST thing we (the Twins fan base) needs is a reason to complain.
  2. dxpavelka
    Not really a need. Highly unlikely that we sign any other big time, big name, big dollar free agent other than Correa. And even if we do it would most likely be a short term rental anyway. IF we sign someone else to a big contract and can't afford Correa we pivot away from him at that point. We've already got a plan b.

    Gabriel Moreno. Find a way.
  4. dxpavelka
    Fairly certain those two or three won't be signing here.
  5. dxpavelka
    Your starting lineup looks solid. How many of them are on the IL by Patriot's Day?

    Cave's a fine ballplayer if you don't need to rely on him to play in more than 65 games a year. Otherwise he's a .235 hitter with limited power and no more than an average glove. Ditto for Garlick. Good luck to the Phillies.

    You can't make soup out of potential.

    This team (and fan base) spends too much time worrying about having too much talent. Such an issue will never exist.
  9. dxpavelka
    Gonna have to be an awful big trade. All I keep reading about is how we need to get rid of so many players because we just have way too many. Frankly, I'm shocked that we haven't won the last few World Series' and aren't prohibitive favorites going forward. Vegas must have the lines all wrong.
  10. dxpavelka
    I don't know. At least Oakland grows talent. Just doesn't keep it.
  11. dxpavelka
    Maybe?
  12. dxpavelka
    Sometimes the organization just mishandles the situation. I remember when the Timberwolves moved Marbury. They should have brought him into the office and gave him two options. Sign the extension or get traded to the Clippers. NOBODY wanted to be traded to the Clippers at that time.
  13. dxpavelka
    Don't think they're moving Rodriguese. Not for what we'd be offering.
  14. dxpavelka
    Old enough to remember when Twins fans would have howled in derision at the thought of trading a guy to save $10 Million.
  15. dxpavelka
    Then they'll never trade him. Lee, Duran AND one of Arraez, Kirilloff or Gordon? I can see two of those three and lower level and a lower level lottery ticket type but not three of those five. And he doesn't have that type of value as long as they have Kirk. But again, our inability or unwillingness to move prospects to fill an obvious need will continue to keep us from filing those needs and ultimately from competing.

    This team scored less than 700 runs last year. Until that number goes to over 800 they don't have too much of anything that can carry a stick to the dish.
  17. dxpavelka
    So you're thinking Toronto views him as Herschel Walker......
  18. dxpavelka
    I get that Jansen is the most likely to be traded but they've also got Kirk who is 24, an All-Star and a Silver Slugger winner which means they MIGHT be a little less dependent on Moreno. Jansen's a nice player but probably peaked last year. I'd also believe it's less a matter of having the prospects / players to get Moreno and more a matter of being willing to part with what it might take. We've ALWAYS got prospects. They don't always pan out. AND we don't have any catching anywhere in the system even close to what Moreno could become. If you want to go for it, go for it. Go big or stay irrelevant.
  19. dxpavelka
    Fortunately, injuries are seldom an issue for the Twins.
  20. dxpavelka
    Jansen's a nice player but if you're gonna deal with Toronto let's get Gabriel Moreno. If you're gonna get something, get something.

    Now that Abreu has signed with Houston we may be overlooking what may end up being the key aspect of this story: The fact that a guy 3 years removed from being the AL MVP has been removed from the lineup of a division foe. We didn't get him and whether we seriously pursued him or not will likely remain only the topic of online discussion. But the fact is that the Sox no longer have him. He may have had a down year in 2022 (although an .824 OPS would have stood tall in a number of lineups--namely the local 9) and that may or may not be a precursor of future performance but that down year almost certainly contributed to a consensus division favorite finishing with a .500 record. The fact that they won't be getting him back bothers me little.
  22. dxpavelka
    Not sure that signing a guy who projects as a backup catcher who will not hit better than the guy he replaced just because he hits from the left side of the plate screams like a move that HAS to be made. Especially when we seem hell bent on becoming LESS left handed in totality.
  23. dxpavelka
    8 years, $275 Million. Opt outs at 2 and 5. Structure it any way you want. Even if that guarantees he opts out.
  24. dxpavelka
    Not a lineup of all stars and best hitters in the game. Lineup of the best RBI guys in the game. Which is what makes them all-stars and best hitters. If Judge had 70 RBIs instead of 134 he wouldn't be an all-star OR one of the best hitters in the game.
  25. dxpavelka
    Realmuto is the best RBI producing catcher in the game. Gotta have a catcher. The point is not that elite hitters have high RBI totals, the point is the we need to have elite hitters. Abreu would help that.
