    Do we have to talk about it? If this guy's fixing a roster need you need to be working harder to fix your roster.
  2. dxpavelka
    Don't forget Tyler Jay who was a reliever in college.
  3. dxpavelka
    Fix the rotation first. Move Duran to the rotation. If the rotation ain't fixed a fixed bullpen is useless.
  4. dxpavelka
    Doesn't seem like counting on a guy who fielded and hit poorly at AA would be a good idea.
  5. dxpavelka
    Most wins after being eliminated gets the best odds.

    I love it. Bring back May. Make Duran the ace starter so desperately needed and avoid the same mistake we made by not giving May a shot to be a starter eight years ago. This team hasn't listened to my advice for 30 years. And they have NOTHING to show for it. Bout time they start.

    The next time this, or any other team, has a perfect off-season will be the first. Do we REALLY want to pencil in Larnach & Kiriloff when neither has managed to play as many games in either of their first two seasons as the oft injured Buxton did last year? Mancini's NOT coming here, or anywhere else, for four and a half million dollars. You're at least 5 and maybe 10 million dollars light on the Rodon number. This stuff is simple on paper. Bit tougher in real life. Is Narvaez REALLY a step up from Sanchez?

    What the Twins REALLY miss and need is guys with heart. Stuff you can't measure with analytics. Two guys on the roster that bring that this year. Correa and Arraez. Correa will most likely be gone. Rosario gone. Has NOT been adequately replaced in LF. Cruz gone. Has NOT been adequately replaced at DH. You can argue all you want about their production elsewhere after they left but the bottom line is that their production HERE has not been replaced. Until it is we will continue to struggle. You can't make soup out of promise and young guys can't perform from the injured list.

    What do you mean you don't know who is responsible? Have you not been paying attention. Or paying attention to the Vikings also for the last 10 months. It's EVERYONE'S responsibility. Cooperation, Collaboration, Communication. Duckies & Bunnies. Peace, Love, Dope.

    And I bet that every team in every one of those bigger markets has a bigger cable deal than the Twins do. Which I bet leads to higher customer costs for cable in those markets. So, if we as fans would be willing to help subsidize it, by increasing our cable bills by 50 to 75% we'd probably be able to compete with those other markets. C'mon, let's go. Let's do our part. It's on us. Rah, rah, rah.

    I was thinking 5 years $190. Fairly long deal but not too long. Allows him to cash in one one more similar length deal afterwards maybe at an even higher number. $38 million AAV.
  12. dxpavelka
    I, for one, wish that YOU would pony up and buy the team. Then I could just get rich buying stock in World Series parades.
  13. dxpavelka
    "Prospect" is not really a word I'd use in association with any of twins catchers.
  14. dxpavelka
    5 years $190 million. Make it happen.
  15. dxpavelka
    Sarcasm. 101. Learn it dude. Actually, though, if they had 4 MLB ready SS they wouldn't be that far from the World Series.
  16. dxpavelka
    I thought WE had two MLB ready SSs. (Lewis & Martin) Or was it 4? (Lee & Miller)
  17. dxpavelka
    We have to have some young prospects ready to hit the big leagues and not be able to stay healthy. It can't just be Kiriloff & Larnach.
  18. dxpavelka
    As proof of your concept I submit the last two seasons.
  19. dxpavelka
    The assortment of players we've run out to LF over the last two years has NOT outperformed what Rosario has done in it's entirety since he left. And it certainly doesn't have a World Series ring or a post-season appearance to show for it. Eddie also played with something this club has sorely lacked--heart. Of course so did Nelson Cruz-got rid of him too. AND, of course, we had ONE guy in the lineup this year who played with heart and he'll be gone too.
  20. dxpavelka
    You mean all those young outfielders who can't stay healthy? I remember a couple years back when we jettisoned Eddie Rosario rather than pay him a similar number. LF has been a revolving door ever since and we haven't sniffed the post-season. But sure, let's double down.
  21. dxpavelka
    How would we know what Larnach is? He can't stay on the field.
  22. dxpavelka
    Generally speaking, anytime one has to ponder how a club is gonna fit all of it's quality players on a roster, it's a mirage. Kind of reminds me of all the angst every spring about who is gonna make the opening day roster. Completely ignores that fact that in addition to the opening day 26 there might be another 26 who make big league appearances in a given season.
  23. dxpavelka
    Now look at the number of games he's played over that time
  24. dxpavelka
    Saying Iglesias has offensive ability and Simmons has none is patently wrong. Iglesias' solid (quarter of a real season) 2020 notwithstanding, NEITHER has done much of anything since 2018. The only difference is that Simmons was MUCH better prior to 2018. No reason to believe that Iglesias would perform any better here in 2023 than Simmons did in 2021 other than wanting it to be true or possible.

    5 years $190 million.
