    Lots of owners are willing to spend money to win it all. Far fewer actually win it all.
  2. dxpavelka
    We always want the big splash deals and we're always shocked at the price those deals entail. This one would be no different.
  3. dxpavelka
    And yet Twins fans on this site spend the entire month of November fretting about which guys we're gonna lose to this draft.
  4. dxpavelka
    Still worth a shot. You never know when you're gonna grab the next Santana or Pressly. Cost is minimal. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    How bad would a pitcher have to be to be worse than the last guy on our staff at any given time?
  6. dxpavelka
    He got 11 years, $280 Million from SD. From the beginning I've said offer Correa 8 years, $275 Million. With a two year opt out he might take that and go for another bite at the apple when he's 30 (Boegarts' current age). If in two years one of Lewis, Martin, Lee (or Miller) isn't ready to take over full time at SS it would be time to blow it up anyway.

    How many times over the years have we been burned by something the we thought was the exception that was actually a trend or a new reality? Regardless, the guy hit under .210 in total last year. Not somebody I'm betting the mortgage on.
  8. dxpavelka
    I'd be in. Suspect we'd not be the only ones.
  9. dxpavelka
    It took Buck 4 years to get on base consistently enough to steal bases.
  10. dxpavelka
    Johan Santana
  11. dxpavelka
    Not sure which problem bringing in a left handed hitting catcher that hit .205 against right handed pitchers last year solves. The target needs to be Gabriel Moreno. He hits right handed but hits right handers well. Sure he'll cost but the return will be worth it.
  12. dxpavelka
    What if they're looking for a guy who stays IN the lineup most of the time?
  13. dxpavelka
    Borderline great is still great. Which means he's better than anyone in a Twins uniform that doesn't wear # 25. I actually don't mind the opt outs--IF one of Lewis, Lee or Martin pans out as a big league SS, Correa opts out and we wish him well.
  14. dxpavelka
    Moving Polanco to open a spot for Gordon would be a great idea if Gordon could play BETTER than Polanco. Has not yet proven able to do so.
  15. dxpavelka
    Not that much difference between them but on a team that scored less than 700 runs last year I'm having a hard time getting past Narvaez' .206 batting average last year.
  16. dxpavelka
    Probably looking at 6 years $195 Million for a guy who probably slots in as the 4th best SP in the AL. We can dream.
  17. dxpavelka
    If all the guys we have on the horizon pan out it's a smart move. I'm CERTAIN they all will.
  18. dxpavelka
    And the LAST thing we (the Twins fan base) needs is a reason to complain.
  19. dxpavelka
    Not really a need. Highly unlikely that we sign any other big time, big name, big dollar free agent other than Correa. And even if we do it would most likely be a short term rental anyway. IF we sign someone else to a big contract and can't afford Correa we pivot away from him at that point. We've already got a plan b.
  20. dxpavelka
    Gabriel Moreno. Find a way.
  21. dxpavelka
    Fairly certain those two or three won't be signing here.
  22. dxpavelka
    Guessing MLB is not the only one all about money. Guessing your switch from Dish to YouTube might have had something to do with money. Player salaries ain't gonna change. Going to a game ain't gonna get cheaper. Also sounds like games are available to you but you've made a decision to go with an entertainment system that makes them not so. That may change at some point but that change will likely come with a cost. Welcome to the real world.
  23. dxpavelka
    Your starting lineup looks solid. How many of them are on the IL by Patriot's Day?
  24. dxpavelka
    The incremental money comes from cable television. The Twins are last in that revenue stream among the markets that have all four major sports. And it's not even close. You can build all the stadiums and sell all the jerseys you want but until you increase the cable revenue you're going nowhere fast. And let's be honest, for that to happen it's gonna come out of YOUR pocket. Interested?

    Cave's a fine ballplayer if you don't need to rely on him to play in more than 65 games a year. Otherwise he's a .235 hitter with limited power and no more than an average glove. Ditto for Garlick. Good luck to the Phillies.
