    Personally I'd rather see that rotation of pitchers over seeing Hughes pitch at all. I don't believe they're going with a 4 man rotation. Because of financial reasons, Hughes is in the rotation. And we're going to witness at least 5 starts where we pray he gives up less than 4 runs in 5 innings. Not exactly inspiring for a team I think is an AL Central title contender.

    Bradford to Arizona. Keenum to Denver. Cousins to Minnesota. And poor Teddy waiting for a call. Probably from the Jets.
  4. Vanimal46
    Yes.
  5. Vanimal46
    A total Vikings move is Cousins getting injured for the season when he's been the most durable QB in the league previously.
  6. Vanimal46
    I'm sure agents for Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, and Deshaun Watson are salivating thinking of the fully guaranteed money they're going to make very soon.
  7. Vanimal46
    NFL free agency won't be the same again if Cousins receives a fully guaranteed contract.
  8. Vanimal46
    He'll have to be a junk ball pitcher primarily, and try to sneak an 89 MPH by a batter every now and again. He needs a lot of good luck.
  9. Vanimal46
    My answers to your questions: No. Yes. He should stick at 3B as long as he can. Not a significant reduction. Most all of his value comes from his bat. Not really. His best professional season was 2015 where he was a primary DH and crushing the ball. Yes. Hasn't he proven that already by still crushing the ball over the last 3 seasons at different weight totals? Probably. He's doing just fine right now though.

    They were on a roll of announcing signings on Saturday evening. Wish they would have waited until then to drop this news on us.
  11. Vanimal46
    Another wave of cuts this morning.
  12. Vanimal46
    This is my nightmare.
  13. Vanimal46
    Yeah, for many pitchers out there, losing a couple of ticks on the fastball is the difference between being serviceable and throwing batting practice. Hughes is going to continue throwing batting practice until someone steps in and pulls the plug.

    All Mauer has to do is show the willingness to play for him to return in 2019. It doesn't matter to me if he's a starter or bench bat. As scottz said, Mauer has been the most known entity for casual Twins fans. I'm going to appreciate his loyalty to the Twins for 17 years, and being the most known "face of the organization" over the last 14 MLB seasons. It's going to be a long time until we see another player stick in this organization for 17 years.

    Let's see those autographs from failed prospects, sub-par MLB players, and gimmick players in your Twins' fandom! My most regrettable autograph...
  16. Vanimal46
    I think the dream of him finding 92 MPH again is over. He needs to reinvent himself as an 89-90 MPH pitcher.
  17. Vanimal46
    Ehh, I'd argue Rodney and Sanchez are scrap heap guys.
  18. Vanimal46
    Maybe. Escobar is a UFA after this season. And if I've learned anything this offseason, it's to not offer long term contracts to players entering their decline phase. So that would eliminate 30 year old Escobar in 2019...
  19. Vanimal46
    I would argue that's always been a part of the plan. As long as he can hold his own at 3B until Mauer is retired I'm fine with it.
  20. Vanimal46
    Concur, concur, concur. This team (until this year with Morrison) doesn't sign power hitters. He's the first power hitter they've developed since Morneau. And people can't ship him out of town quick enough... I also think he'll be an All-Star again, and come close to 40 HRs.
  21. Vanimal46
    I would imagine it's LaMonte Wade if he continues doing what he does best in AAA. Ideally they don't need a ton of depth because Rosario, Buxton, and Kepler are starting 140+ games this season.
  22. Vanimal46
    No.
  23. Vanimal46
    Vargas in Japan makes sense. He can crush 50 HRs a year there and try his luck at the MLB in the next year or 3.
  24. Vanimal46
    88 wins as the team stands right now. I have faith that they're finally going to trade for the ace-like pitcher in July to put them over the top as division champs.
  25. Vanimal46
    Concur. And ideally it keeps Hughes and/or Sanchez from the opening day rotation. Pray for the injury gods to stay away and this team is a contender for the division title.
