    Worth noting that he has not yet bought a championship. Such things are earned, not bought. He might and he might not. Here's to rooting against him.
  2. dxpavelka
    If Arraez doesn't hit over .300 he doesn't bring much to the table. So far we've seen nothing to make us believe that Kirilloff is anything other than an average hitter with limited power who can't stay healthy. Wish I could be more positive.
  3. dxpavelka
    Had it been an issue it likely could have ended up being a three year deal.
  4. dxpavelka
    Can you REALLY write an article with this title and not include either Larnach or Kirilloff?
  5. dxpavelka
    Gallo has played in 279 games over the last two years. Larnach & Kirilloff have combined to play in 234. That's kind of where the comparisons end.

    My response was on THIS post "Rumor: Mets Have Concerns With Correa Physical" so I'm not sure what YOUR point is. My response was that we would not have signed CORREA to the original deal had we had injury concerns.
  7. dxpavelka
    Not if he can't stay on the field.
  8. dxpavelka
    THIS post is about Correa.
  9. dxpavelka
    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.

    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.
  11. dxpavelka
    No way they made the offer they signed him to if they didn't think he was healthy.
  12. dxpavelka
    For a # 1? Yes. Arraez won a batting title with an OPS under .800. That's hard to do.
  13. dxpavelka
    I've been trying since Dobnak hit the big leagues if an undrafted college grad has ever hit the majors faster.
  14. 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.
  15. dxpavelka
    Cuz everyone makes such a big deal about the number of games Buxton plays but two years in and Buxton has played more games as either of these two. AND he's produced enough more than them that he'd be sorely missed if traded.
  16. dxpavelka
    If you're dealing Buxton you'd be well served to have a succession plan. Those two have not yet proven worthy of being part of such a plan.
  17. dxpavelka
    Doesn't impact how many games they play.
  18. dxpavelka
    The problem with trading Buxton cuz you can't count on him to play a hundred games is that you leave yourself counting on guys like Kirilloff & Larnach to play a hundred games.
  19. dxpavelka
    Kind of old news.
  20. dxpavelka
    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.
  21. dxpavelka
    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.
  22. dxpavelka
    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.
  23. 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........
