    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.
  3. dxpavelka
    Obviously their going to do their due diligence. Thinking SF just had buyer's remorse regarding the 13 years.
  4. dxpavelka
    Offer 11 years $313 Million. First offer. Last offer. Only offer. Walk away if needed.
  5. 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.
  6. dxpavelka
    I know the Berrios trade hasn't hurt us but a year and a half in we've got 5 big league innings pitched to show for it. Hasn't exactly helped us yet either. Yes, I know, there's still time to get results and reason to be hopeful. But you can't make soup out of hopeful.
  7. dxpavelka
    Seems unlikely that Farmer's presence will cause Gordon to play fewer games in the infield than Correa's did......
  8. dxpavelka
    When the previous FO left you'd have only mentioned Buxton & Polanco among those you're listing as being developed by them. Same would apply here. Folks on here roasted them and yet when we won back to back division titles most of the roster were guys they brought in. Got to play the long game and most baseball fans don't have the patience to do so.
  9. 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.
  10. dxpavelka
    No, it's a rebuttal of the opinion that we have "too many outfielders." Just like that argument said.
  11. dxpavelka
    Buxton, Lewis, Miranda, Polanco, Arraez. Seems like we've developed a few players. Not even throwing in guys like Kirilloff or Larnach yet.
  12. dxpavelka
    If this game were merely about having two pieces it'd be easy.
  13. dxpavelka
    Avoid injuries. Problem solved.
  14. 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.
  15. dxpavelka
    You could say that. Wouldn't make what I said any less true. I'd also point out the Twins had a guy making $35 Million in 2022 and one making $23 Million every year from 2011-2018. Remember all those parades?
  16. dxpavelka
    And I'm ok with that.
  17. dxpavelka
    And yet the vast majority of folks posting on TD are insistent that the Twins need to throw out those deals.
  18. dxpavelka
    ONE of the free agents who have signed the 20 biggest free agent deals in MLB history has won a World Series while playing on that deal........
  19. dxpavelka
    Sounds like a big haul for a guy that basically you're trading cuz you don't want him.
  20. 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.
  21. dxpavelka
    A wise man once said that advanced analytics are an excellent way to project the past.

    "Maybe they’ll even extend their comfort zone to go big enough to beat out the obviously aggressive, big-thinking, smaller market Twins."--Gordon Wittenmyer NBC Sports Chicago's Cubs Insider on the Cubs pursuit of Dansby Swanson.
  23. dxpavelka
    Actually thought he'd get closer to $30 per.
  24. dxpavelka
    Wife plays in Chicago. 'nuff said
  25. dxpavelka
    And yet Farmer drove in 78 runs with a 62 win team surrounding him. No Twin topped 66. Buxton, Polanco, Arraez & Miranda are givens. I said top 5. Larnach, Gordon, Wallner and Kirillogg are unproven and two of them can't even stay in the lineup as often as Buxton. Gordon is so productive he took 8 years to become a full time big leaguer. You're right about Kepler. He WAS as significantly better hitter. FOUR years ago. If he still were, 60% of the folks on this site wouldn't be pushing for him to be moved.
