    THIS post is about Correa.

    Two of the three you've listed are already here and have not yet proven capable of staying on the field long enough to have an impact. Law of averages and baseball history says that two of the remaining five deliver what we've anticipated, two become fringe producers and one a bust or never even gets here. AND none of them pitch.
  3. dxpavelka
    Actually, this trade makes perfect sense--If the PTBNL is Cy Young. They finished last in the AL East standings and second to last in the AL in ERA. They're not moving their most valuable chip without getting significant pitching in return.

    No way they made the offer they signed him to if they didn't think he was healthy.
  5. dxpavelka
    This works until Larnach, Kirilloff and two of your projected starting pitchers miss half the season with injuries. Then it's 2022 (and 2021) all over again.
  6. dxpavelka
    Kind of old news.

    The Twins need pitching because a year and a half ago they traded away the best pitcher they've home-grown in a generation. You're right about Arraez' value not being what it is presumed to be by Twins fans. He won a batting title with an OPS under .800. That's hard to do. Hell, D.J. LaMahieu won a batting title with 10 home runs and his OPS was over 1.000. Arraez hits for average and not much else. He's not a plus defender. If you can get a front line starter for him, make the move with the same urgency you should have used to sign Berrios to the exact same deal the Jays signed him to.

    That's basically what I just said. The key is you've gotta find a way to keep they guys you grow yourself. Berrios was the best pitcher we've grown in a generation. The price Toronto paid to extend him was a price we should have paid in a heartbeat. We've spent a year and a half since looking for a guy who can be him. Joe Ryan's the only guy even close.

    Sounds like the 11 years $313 Million I proposed 12 hours ago might just have gotten the job done. Seems the medical issue was only a 13 year issue and 11 or 12 years would be just fine.
  10. dxpavelka
    All of the sudden my 11 for $313 looks a lot like (maybe even a little better) than 12 for $315. Guessing the Mets did their due diligence........

  12. dxpavelka
    I don't question the lack of impact signings but I do question not keeping home grown guys like Berrios.

    A week of gazing into the crystal ball with a $102 Million projected payroll changes what a fella can and can't see now.
  14. dxpavelka
    Obviously their going to do their due diligence. Thinking SF just had buyer's remorse regarding the 13 years.
  15. dxpavelka
    Offer 11 years $313 Million. First offer. Last offer. Only offer. Walk away if needed.
  16. dxpavelka
    Sadly, Gordon may just well be likely to start regularly over some of those OF names. Speaks more about those names than it does of Gordon.
  17. dxpavelka
    Seems unlikely that Farmer's presence will cause Gordon to play fewer games in the infield than Correa's did......
  18. dxpavelka
    Careful. I've also advance that argument. And been roasted for it. Now, hopefully, guys like Kirilloff, Larnach & Wallner will surpass him but we've not seen that yet. AND, HOPE is a terrible strategy.
  19. dxpavelka
    No, it's a rebuttal of the opinion that we have "too many outfielders." Just like that argument said.
  20. dxpavelka
    Avoid injuries. Problem solved.
  21. dxpavelka
    By definition, the fact that you're running guys like Gordon, Contreras, Garlick (and Cave) out there means that you DON'T have to many outfielders.
  22. dxpavelka
    Sounds like a big haul for a guy that basically you're trading cuz you don't want him.
  23. dxpavelka
    And the two most prolific home run hitters this team has had in decades are sitting at home wondering if they'll have work in 2023. Both right handed hitters, which my TD associates tell me is a desperate need of this team.

    A wise man once said that advanced analytics are an excellent way to project the past.
