    I don't care if Cave is the best defender on the planet in left. If they have to use him it won't be enough.
  2. dxpavelka
    That's nice. Too bad. Nobody cares.
  3. dxpavelka
    And I think letting him go was a mistake of epic proportions as well.
  4. dxpavelka
    Still the most entertaining hitter this team has had in decades.

    Hindsight is 20/20. There wasn't a fan in this state who disagreed with the Donaldson move a year ago, yourself included.
  6. dxpavelka
    Sure. If the goal is to NOT be competitive.

    With Simmons most likely headed for a bottom of the order spot in the lineup, the Twins need to replace the middle of the order bat left behind by Eddie Rosario and (potentially) Nelson Cruz still has yet to be addressed. COULD also bring back Eddie. Younger, maybe cheaper AND was our leading run producer each of the last 4 years.

    Teams don't trade top starters for for 2nd basemen.

    May well end up with the White Sox merely as a preemptive strike to cripple our lineup. I know I'm gonna get a bunch of rubes jumping on here and telling me that RBIs are a flawed stat but if Nelly walks, 30% of our run production from last year will be playing elsewhere in 2021 and the only thing flawed is likely to be our lineup.

    How about we bring back three man post season rotations? Nobody wants to see 4th and 5th starters or bullpen days in the playoffs.
  13. dxpavelka
    Agree that we MIGHT be overstating our OF bounty. Especially if we trade Eddie. Trading Eddie likely puts us right back to having to rely on a .221 hitter as the 4th OF. I know many are not enthralled with Eddie's defensive prowess but I'm also not sure that throwing a guy with less than 10 professional games in LF is the answer to that. Keep Eddie and include Kirilloff in a 4 man OF rotation with each guy getting about 120 starts. IF Kirilloff knocks the doors off then you think about moving Eddie at the trade deadline.

    He's already gonna be a Twin for six of those seven years. Extending him now would just be throwing away the money that so many have seemed so concerned about paying Rosario. I'd at least like to see him get a big league hit before pulling the trigger.
  15. dxpavelka
    Worth noting that despite Ryan being gone for over 4 years Rogers, Duffey, Colina, Stashak, Thorpe, Berrios, Bolazovic, Sano, Rosario, Rortvedt, Rooker, Wade, Polanco, Kiriloff, Kepler, Gordon, Garver, Buxton, Blankenhorn & Arraez, more than half of the 37 guys currently on the 40 man roster are Ryan gets.
  16. dxpavelka
    So the goal is to have the best lineup in MLB but accomplishing that goal might include keeping Rosario and THAT is unfortunate? Seems like we're talking out of both sides of our mouths.
  17. dxpavelka
    I agree. And yet many think that trading a current corner outfielder WILL bring high end pitching.
  18. dxpavelka
    I was thinking the same thing.
  19. dxpavelka
    Not surprising at all that Cruz was designated as the one who could best pitch Beasley on staying here. After all, he IS their Designated Pitcher.
  20. dxpavelka
    You seem to forget that many fans are stupid.
  21. dxpavelka
    Some guys just bring something to the table that analytics can never measure. It's called heart. Eddie's that guy.
  22. dxpavelka
    If we win we don't give a damn what anybody else says. Everyone will know and play by the same rules and circumstances come opening day.
  23. dxpavelka
    AND he brings an IT factor that can't be measured by any sort of analytic. Bottom line, for all those that want to see him traded, is that he's "the straw that stirs the drink."
  24. dxpavelka
    Can we get the whole list of 27th picks?
  25. dxpavelka
    Funny how, when looking at an extended time period like this, Innings Pitched tends to be as good as any other metric for grading starting pitching. Bottom line, over an extended period, if you ain't good you don't eat innings.
