    By definition, breakout candidates almost have to be guys who've struggled.
  2. dxpavelka
    The 5 years sounds right but the total price is more likely gonna be $125 million.
  3. dxpavelka
    $15 million a year is NOT going to get the job done on the Buxton front.
  4. dxpavelka
    BUST STATUS? At 22 with fewer than 500 professional plate appearances?
  5. dxpavelka
    If only our LF and leading run producer from 2018-2020 were available......
  6. dxpavelka
    Buxton's not settling for 7/110
  7. dxpavelka
    no
  8. dxpavelka
    And yet he's not signed..

    And yet he's not signed....

    If we don't extend Buxton a LOT of things are going to look different. We'd better acclimate ourselves to the fact that it's going to cost a whole lot more money than most Twins fans will think he's worth. Saw somebody recently suggest on here that 5 years $84 million would get it done. Laughed my $@! off.
  11. dxpavelka
    Better off trading him than pretending he might be an outfielder.
  12. dxpavelka
    You keep thinking that and dreaming of duckies and bunnies and beautifully unique sparkleponies.

    That's so cute. Thinking that Verlander's gonna sign here. Counting on neither Kiriloff or Larnach to flame out. Thinking that Buxton's gonna settle for 5 years $84 million. (Up that $84 by 50% to $126 and he MIGHT answer the phone. Don't know if he'd sign but at least he'd take the call.) Guess I shouldn't be surprised. considering we're talking about a team whose Pitcher of the Year plays for another team. P.S. That's the pitcher we should be throwing $20 million a year at but if we want to go with the 39 year old guy who am I to object. At least we might get Kate Upton in the stands.
  14. dxpavelka
    Why not? He's the only guy on the team that played 2021 with any heart. Can't have that.
  15. dxpavelka
    We might aim higher but at the end of the day he sounds a hell of a lot better than guys like Happ, Shoemaker, Albers, Hill, Wisler, Bailey, Martin Perez, Bartolo Colon, Dillon Gee. Do I need to go on? Cuz I can.........
  16. dxpavelka
    Anything to keep Cave off the roster.........
  17. dxpavelka
    On a 1 year deal--why not.........?
  18. dxpavelka
    Kirillof, Larnach, Garlick, Refsnyder, Celestino & Cave. Could very easily have kept their leading run producer from each of the three prior seasons. I even remember a time when management would have been ridiculed for allowing that kind of production to leave rather than pony up for $8-$10 million. Could have kept Eddie. Brought up Kiriloff whenever they thought was best to game the system and divided OF starts between, Eddie, Buck, Kep and Kiriloff with someone getting a start at DH every week to 10 days. Second most plate appearances by an OF in 2021 was Larnach at 301. Would have been plenty of ABs to go around. When those injuries come you throw Larnach into the mix and never have to lay eyes on a guy like Cave again. You don't get better when your good players are playing for other teams. And I haven't even mentioned the one thing Eddie has always brought to the party that can't be measured -- HEART. Which, let's be honest, outside of half a season from Polanco, NOBODY on this team had this year.

    Twins have a long history of getting guys to the big leagues and deciding they need to play a different position. Often making a less than spectacular choice. Danny Santana came up as a SS and they promptly decided he was an OF. Affected his bat and he was never the same player. Eddie Rosario was a 2B playing OF. Remember when they tried to make a certain slugging IF an OF? Oops. Luis Arraez is basically a singles hitting DH that they've tried to shoehorn into a number of defensive positions. Leave Lewis at SS
  20. dxpavelka
    If they offer ENOUGH money he'll stay. If he doesn't stay, it will because they didn't offer ENOUGH money. Same as with Berrios.
  21. dxpavelka
    Chances of Buxton signing depend only on one thing. Money
  22. dxpavelka
    Only the Twins.......
  23. dxpavelka
    Not a single name in this article better than Jose Berrios. And I know, I know he wasn't resigning here. Question we have to ask is WHY? The answer is simple. We didn't blow him away with the money. Sadly, we most likely won't with the other fellas in this article either. And I'm OK with that. IF a couple of the kids on the farm are ready to perform at a Berrios like level. Any chance of that?
  24. dxpavelka
    And if we rely on acquisitions and they flop we have 2021.
  25. dxpavelka
    Remember that if the arms we've accumulated on the farm are as good and as close as we've been lead to believe, every veteran brought in via free agency and / or trade is blocking one of them.......
