  1. NO. With apologies to Kirby & Herbie and a whole lot of others, Sano is the first Twin since Killebrew that makes me stop whatever I'm doing and watch his AB. The mistake will be when we he moves on.
  2. I seem to remember part of the trade involving a need to open the CF spot........ Career War since leaving: 9.8; Byron Buxton WAR since Hicks leaving : 16.3
  3. Still looking for an answer to my Randy Dobnak question. Has there ever been an undrafted college senior get to the big leagues quicker than Dobnak?
  4. Mostly I remember the Dodgers not being in agreement with that.
  5. My distaste for folks who think guys like Granite are / were anything but a waste of fresh air as far as the Twins being competitive goes.
  6. Bob Gorinski. 22nd pick of the first round in 1970. 166 minor league home runs. 3 big league home runs.
  7. Which brings me to my next point: I don't like stupid people.
  8. I was actually going to amend my quote to include that. Well played.
  9. Carew won SEVEN batting titles as a Twin. I think we can let him slide.
  10. Sounds almost as if you're talking about the guy we don't want anymore.
  11. Any blowback would be determined by the bring back.
  12. Technically, I believe Ryan will still be a rookie in 2022 so, problem solved....
  13. Walls doesn't do much for me. Hit .211 last year and projected for maybe .235 this year. I'd sooner let some of our own youngsters get their feet wet at the big league level for that kind of production.
  14. I was hoping for something I didn't already know. Maybe I know too much.
  15. Sure we don't know what Royce Lewis is. But we also don't wait for him for 4 years and then move him before we find out.
  16. They beat him like he stole something in this deal. Maybe. Most guys who sign a long term extension play out like Mauer and Pujols. They outproduce their contracts prior to hitting free agency. For the most part they earn their money during the first part of their long term extensions and on the back half of those contracts they are an albatross on the back of the team. Buxton's gonna be a little different. Essentially, for the next seven years his pay is likely to mirror his production. We should be lauding Falvine on this one. And yet, Buxton has the potential to make $23.5 million in any given year. If he does in any year, everyone wins.
  17. I'm hearing there are PA bonuses too starting at half a million for 502 and going up in half million increments topping out at $2.5 million for 625 PA
  18. He's not making any contract demands. He's simply willing to take the best offer made to him. Sadly, the local nine appears unlikely to be the team that will make that offer.
  19. Sadly, we're going to be sitting here 15 months from now and Buxton will be elsewhere and he and Berrios will have signed new deals elsewhere for a combined amount less than Carlos Corea will be playing for and we'll be "hoping" for prospects to pan out.
  20. Don't recall saying anything about Simmons rebounding to any major league average. Just don't think Goodrum is going to give you anything that's going to elevate the play of the team.
  21. Highly unlikely to get more production from Goodrum than from Simmons.
