    You can't make soup out of potential.

    This team (and fan base) spends too much time worrying about having too much talent. Such an issue will never exist.

    Gonna have to be an awful big trade. All I keep reading about is how we need to get rid of so many players because we just have way too many. Frankly, I'm shocked that we haven't won the last few World Series' and aren't prohibitive favorites going forward. Vegas must have the lines all wrong.
  4. dxpavelka
    I don't know. At least Oakland grows talent. Just doesn't keep it.
  5. dxpavelka
    Maybe?

    Sometimes the organization just mishandles the situation. I remember when the Timberwolves moved Marbury. They should have brought him into the office and gave him two options. Sign the extension or get traded to the Clippers. NOBODY wanted to be traded to the Clippers at that time.

    Don't think they're moving Rodriguese. Not for what we'd be offering.

    Only 1 team will win the World Series. The other 29 had better be entertaining. And, yes, I LOVE the off season.

    When you sign Correa you bring in the owner at 600 1st Avenue to discuss the potential of spending a big part of his big contract as a 3rd baseman. He's been down that road. Don't make moves based on what MIGHT happen in the future. If Lewis comes back and earns the opportunity to take the SS job away from Correa then great. If he's the better man, great. If Lewis doesn't ever do that, than how are we better served by NOT signing Correa. Two years ago we moved on from Eddie Rosario because we thought we had better future alternatives. We can argue all day about what Rosario has done elsewhere or might have done here but what cannot be debated is that that the guys we've run out to those corner OF spots for the last 2 years have NOT met expectations. Don't repeat that history. If Lewis comes back and performs there will be a spot for him. If he performs and Correa does as well, there will be a spot for both. This team (and fan base) spends too much time worrying about having too much talent. Such an issue will never exist.

    Old enough to remember when Twins fans would have howled in derision at the thought of trading a guy to save $10 Million.
  11. dxpavelka
    Then they'll never trade him. Lee, Duran AND one of Arraez, Kirilloff or Gordon? I can see two of those three and lower level and a lower level lottery ticket type but not three of those five. And he doesn't have that type of value as long as they have Kirk. But again, our inability or unwillingness to move prospects to fill an obvious need will continue to keep us from filing those needs and ultimately from competing.

    This team scored less than 700 runs last year. Until that number goes to over 800 they don't have too much of anything that can carry a stick to the dish.
  13. dxpavelka
    So you're thinking Toronto views him as Herschel Walker......
  14. dxpavelka
    I get that Jansen is the most likely to be traded but they've also got Kirk who is 24, an All-Star and a Silver Slugger winner which means they MIGHT be a little less dependent on Moreno. Jansen's a nice player but probably peaked last year. I'd also believe it's less a matter of having the prospects / players to get Moreno and more a matter of being willing to part with what it might take. We've ALWAYS got prospects. They don't always pan out. AND we don't have any catching anywhere in the system even close to what Moreno could become. If you want to go for it, go for it. Go big or stay irrelevant.
  15. dxpavelka
    Fortunately, injuries are seldom an issue for the Twins.
  16. dxpavelka
    Jansen's a nice player but if you're gonna deal with Toronto let's get Gabriel Moreno. If you're gonna get something, get something.

    Now that Abreu has signed with Houston we may be overlooking what may end up being the key aspect of this story: The fact that a guy 3 years removed from being the AL MVP has been removed from the lineup of a division foe. We didn't get him and whether we seriously pursued him or not will likely remain only the topic of online discussion. But the fact is that the Sox no longer have him. He may have had a down year in 2022 (although an .824 OPS would have stood tall in a number of lineups--namely the local 9) and that may or may not be a precursor of future performance but that down year almost certainly contributed to a consensus division favorite finishing with a .500 record. The fact that they won't be getting him back bothers me little.
  18. dxpavelka
    Not very close are they? Been a few years since I've been there. Within walking distance from either venue?
  19. dxpavelka
    Typically the plan is build a tax generating scheme.
  20. dxpavelka
    Not sure that signing a guy who projects as a backup catcher who will not hit better than the guy he replaced just because he hits from the left side of the plate screams like a move that HAS to be made. Especially when we seem hell bent on becoming LESS left handed in totality.
  21. dxpavelka
    Always baffled that there is ZERO development anywhere near the Truman Sports Complex in KC. Love all the parking but it's just bizarre that there is nothing else within miles.
  22. dxpavelka
    8 years, $275 Million. Opt outs at 2 and 5. Structure it any way you want. Even if that guarantees he opts out.
  23. dxpavelka
    Not a lineup of all stars and best hitters in the game. Lineup of the best RBI guys in the game. Which is what makes them all-stars and best hitters. If Judge had 70 RBIs instead of 134 he wouldn't be an all-star OR one of the best hitters in the game.
  24. dxpavelka
    Realmuto is the best RBI producing catcher in the game. Gotta have a catcher. The point is not that elite hitters have high RBI totals, the point is the we need to have elite hitters. Abreu would help that.

    Hasn't been a guy wearing a Twins uniform in two years that has contributed to winning baseball. New uniforms won't change that.
