    We moved him a year and a half prior to free-agency. Easy to say what he might or might not have wanted but bottom line is we had a year and a half of control left. Foolish move.

    Just graduating from college means you weren't around for the "3 magical weeks" in 87 & 91. As such, you have no clue of which you speak. If the Twins never win another game, I'll die happy. Now get the hell off my grass.

    Arraez will need peripheral stats (i.e. power) other than BA
  4. dxpavelka
    You old enough to remember those 3 week successful playoff runs?
  5. dxpavelka
    And in doing so we wrote off a whole season. One in which we invested $35 Million in a free agent.
  6. dxpavelka
    Jair Camargo was the player the Twins (re) signed. The signing was initially (erroneously) reported as Johan.
  7. dxpavelka
    One only has to look at the decline of Sano to understand the impact of Cruz' clubhouse presence.
  8. dxpavelka
    The Twins used 14 different starting pitchers in 2022. ONE of them performed at a similar level as Berrios. How might things look in 9 months if attempts to replace Berrios hadn't necessitated losing Chase Petty, Spencer Steer, Steve Hajjar & Christian Encarnancion-Strand?
  9. dxpavelka
    Perhaps if Sano had been in the lineup Arraez WOULD have scored more runs.
  10. dxpavelka
    Your 3 most successful teams have combined for ONE World Series win in the last 47 years. Twins have two. Maybe we have different definitions of success.
  11. dxpavelka
    If the NFL would follow suit and reduce the number of division games it's entirely possible that somebody other than the Packers would have handed the Vikings their asses today.
  12. dxpavelka
    And yet your batting champ only managed to score 88 runs.
  13. dxpavelka
    One you grow ONE home grown pitcher in a generation ya gotta find a way to not let him go.
  14. dxpavelka
    My resolution is to hope that these youngsters make the lack of off-season free agent moves look genius.
  15. dxpavelka
    But the opportunity to land a guy named Warts...
  16. dxpavelka
    If Woods Richardson produces as well as Berrios over the next 6-7 years he'll likely be on the move in 3-4. This team is never going to compete for big name free agent talent. But when they grow their own the can compete to keep it. They NEED to compete to keep it.
  17. dxpavelka
    For the record I'm fairly certain that the Moneyball board pictured is a free agent board and not a draft board. I don't recall the draft even being mentioned in that movie. So what is your recommendation for if BOTH Freight Train Figueroa & Warts Murphey are available at 5?
  18. dxpavelka
    I don't care if they make trades with the moon and Mars to get pitching. Angst from the Berrios trade (at least mine) stems from the fact that we're now a year and a half in to it and we have FIVE big league innings pitched to show for it. AND the fact that we traded away the best (only?) home grown pitching talent we've home grown in a generation AND the fact that the team we traded him to signed him to an extension that we easily should have been able to sign him to.
  19. dxpavelka
    =batting champion + 78 win team
  20. dxpavelka
    The fairy tale ending would be one of the two spending significant time in the rotation and the other being blocked by Ryan, Gray, Mahle, Maeda, Ober, Winder & Paddack. Hey, a guy can dream.
  21. dxpavelka
    Nothing more useless than a high (or any) average that doesn't produce runs. Probably the main reason Arraez' name is coming up in trade talks.
  22. dxpavelka
    Hits for average but scores and drives in runs at a pedestrian rates. That screams empty to me. The game's about scoring runs not hitting for average.
  23. dxpavelka
    "and hopefully Kirilloff will finally be healthy" Your words not mine.
  24. dxpavelka
    I'm hoping that an incarnation of Sano that I've seen before still exists. You're hoping that a version of Kirilloff you've never seen actually might exist. Willing to take my chances.
  25. dxpavelka
    Sano has a career OPS over .800 so we've seen that he CAN do it. With Kirilloff all we have his hope.
