    How long does that "everyone is healthy" thing last. Likely not long. Big difference between having a redundancy of anything in January vs. having such in June. Kirilloff, Buxton & Larnach won't be winning any Lou Gehrig or Cal Ripken awards anytime soon.

    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.

    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.

    Who is more likely to be earning his paycheck at 35, Rodon or Correa?
  5. 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....
  6. dxpavelka
    no
  7. dxpavelka
    Or a guy with knees living on borrowed time.

    Most entertaining hitter to wear a Twins uniform since Killebrew. Perfect candidate for future "We didn't need him" features.
  9. dxpavelka
    Wait. You mean a guy can win a batting title and then drop to .244......
  10. dxpavelka
    Nothing screams exciting baseball like winning a batting title with sub .800 OPS.....
  11. 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.

    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.

    "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
  15. dxpavelka
    Even I'm not feeling any pain at this time of the season........
  16. dxpavelka
    Never forget that advanced analytics is an excellent method of predicting the past. Now you kids get the hell off my lawn.
  17. dxpavelka
    Where they gonna find a healthy AK?
  18. dxpavelka
    He does little other than hit for average. He doesn't walk. 50 walks last year. Mauer and Carew had (usually far) more than that every season. Negligible power. Average defender at best. He won a batting title with an OPS under .800 That's hard to do. D.J. LaMahieu won a title with only 10 home runs but still had an OPS over 1.000 By the time Mauer's OPS got down to where Arraez' is Twins fans were clamoring for him to be gone. Knees are living on borrowed time. If you can get a front line starter for him, DO IT NOW

    Curious about the Kepler "doesn't play CF" comment. 159 career games in CF vs. 34 for Gordon. Explain......
  20. dxpavelka
    I've seen a first round draft pick who has barely gotten on the field a hundred times two years into his big league career and put up an OPS under .700 when he HAS gotten on the field. What have you seen.
  21. 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.
  22. dxpavelka
    I hope they do but that sounds like a LOT of things needing to go right.
  23. dxpavelka
    Kirilloff is most likely on the IL in this (any) scenario.
  24. dxpavelka
    Robo umps will be the best thing that has ever happened to the game. Robo players not far behind.
  25. dxpavelka
    Been watching this team for 50 years. Most entertaining player since a guy that used to wear # 3.
