    His demise has been predicted for years on this site. I guess we'll be right one day if we keep repeating it. This team can afford an 'overpaid' Dozier for the next 3-4 years... Unless they're entering the Harper/Machado/Kershaw sweepstakes. But how realistic is that?
  2. Vanimal46
    Agreed. It's also not illegal to trade away minor league talent too and keep Dozier. If we want to be contenders that's what contending teams do.
  3. Vanimal46
    Could be. He's the equivalent of North Dakota men's hockey. Starts slow every year. By December fans want the coach fired. The next 3 months they're on fire and make the NCAA tournament.
  4. Vanimal46
    I can't wait to read these "Dozier's best years are behind him" posts when he goes on a binge again later this year...
  5. Vanimal46
    We'll agree to disagree. The peaks and valleys can be extreme with Dozier, but his stats have been pretty consistent on a macro level over the last 3-4 years. I can't envision him falling off a cliff production wise by his 34th birthday.
  6. Vanimal46
    Any of the numerous free agent options are going to be Dozier's age in the early to mid 30s. You're also advocating Escobar's age 33 season at $8-10 million over Dozier at $12-15 million when Dozier has out performed him every single season?
  7. Vanimal46
    Flowers or Lucroy makes sense given their expiring contracts. Realmuto is the best move, but I don't see that one working out.
  8. Vanimal46
    I mean, everyone should struggle with their first taste of division 1 football. Still doesn't mean he should take his ball and go home after 1 intrasquad game. I'm sure there's more to this story. Maybe he was misled how much playing time he was going to receive. Maybe he was that bad. Oh well, don't have to worry about ol' Vic again.
  9. Vanimal46
    Let's wait until some of the middle infielders get out of A ball before declaring them major leaguers. There's absolutely a need for Dozier now and 3 years from now.

    I'd love to see a fast moving C in the system. Hasn't happened since Mauer... Garver took nearly 5 years and he still has a long ways to go defensively. Rortvedt is 2.5 years in and in low A...
  11. Vanimal46
    So this guy is turning 21 soon. How long do you let the experiment at C last? 26 year old 1B or corner OFs aren't that valuable.
  12. Vanimal46
    Yep. Catchers are weird. You don't notice when you have a decently good one because things are going smoothly. You know when you have a bad one immediately.
  13. Vanimal46
    Molitor also shows a tendency to prefer defense first catchers. If Rupp isn't close to Wilson defensively I don't think it's that cut and dry he's taking his spot.
  14. Vanimal46
    Baseball is weird. If JRM becomes a power hitter all of a sudden chalk it up to baseball is weird. There was nothing in his past, present, or future to indicate he could hit for power.
  15. Vanimal46
    What does BPA even mean for everyone? BPA on who's big board? Technically anyone is a BPA because they're still available at 20.
  16. Vanimal46
    Probably a smart call if he can't beat out 3 redshirt freshman on a bottom feeding D1 team.
  17. Vanimal46
    We started seeing that last year with Darvish structuring his contract as more front-loaded. I'd love to see that trend continue. As would the players I imagine. That way they can start investing the money early and let it grow.
  18. Vanimal46
    We should get a better sense this year what profile of player the new regime prefers... The old regime loved toolsy HS OFs and college SP around this draft slot.
  19. Vanimal46
    What the bleep? He was out by a mile...
  20. Vanimal46
    ANNND he's gone after 5 pitches. Just like his Twins career, if you blinked you missed him pitching.
  21. Vanimal46
    If Ramirez gives up a few runs I'll have a favorite Niel Ramirez moment! Since he didn't really have a moment in a Twins uniform...
  22. Vanimal46
    Pfft, and some people say he's the best baseball player ever...
  23. Vanimal46
    What was your favorite Vic Viramontes moment? Mine was learning he was a JUCO QB transfer who packed up and left the program.
  24. Vanimal46
    It was pretty easy to see last offseason that a RH OF was a need... Instead they went with LaMarre who's had little to no success in the MLB. Can't say I'm shocked this isn't working out for the team.
  25. Vanimal46
    In fairness, it's not like people looked at their roster after the expansion draft and said, "Wow, this team is a Stanley Cup contender." Fleury got hot in the playoffs again... And the spare parts from other teams meshed together to make an improbable run.
