    His value will go up with 1.5 years of control compared to 2?

    Sigh... Dozier or any one player doesn't sell tickets. Winning does. If people bought tickets for Dozier, Target Field would have been sold out every game in the 2nd half last year.
  3. Vanimal46
    For those that prefer keeping Dozier if the Twins aren't blown away, what's the end goal? Pitching doesn't appear to be improving for 2017... I'm skeptical to say the least that Dozier would fetch MORE during the season, unless he goes Ruthian with 40 HRs by the July deadline. Do we really expect the Twins to extend Dozier at the end of his contract? The QO reward is worse now. I forget what it is under the new CBA, but it's no longer a 1st round pick. I guess I'm just confused what the benefit is of keeping him.
  4. Vanimal46
    For Dozier, why not wait until free agency and get 5/100 or more? A big money team who missed out on Machado and Harper may drastically overpay for him.

    Concur. Robbie was a fine waiver wire claim and provided a spark when most of the team struggled to put the ball in play. I also believe last year was his ceiling... He was hovering ~.700 OPS prior to last season's explosion of .828 OPS. He would need to continue to be an .800+ OPS guy from here on out to provide much value. We're certainly not going to see value with his fielding abilities.

    Can't teach grit or battling your tail off...

    I'm cranky from throwing out my back and not getting enough sleep. What's everyone else's excuse?
  8. Vanimal46
    If this Dozier stuff falls through, then I'm a bit frustrated/confused with the plan the rest of the off-season. Polanco/Sano on the left side of the infield is iffy defensively, at best. What are they going to do about pitching? Cross fingers that Hughes and Gibson bounces back? Rely heavily on rookies who may or may not be ready?

    The difference is the Nats really were in on acquiring Sale, according to multiple baseball sites... The Cardinals rumor was a false report from the Twins with no substance behind it.
  10. Vanimal46
    Unfortunately Alexander went on IR last week. But Waynes/Morgan/Treadwell do need to play every snap to see what they can do. Do you play Bradford in a meaningless game?
  11. Vanimal46
    If the Cardinals went with this false report, the negotiation power may have switched to the Twins. Now that they have completely denied it, it feels like all the power is in the Dodgers' hand. And whatever held up the negotiations before, if I were the Dodgers knowing they're the only ones in on Dozier, I'd say "You know that 3rd or 4th piece we've been talking about? Never mind about that. You can have De Leon / 2nd piece. Take it or leave it."
  12. Vanimal46
    Not sure which way I like better. It's certainly different now that the negotiations are more transparent than the Ryan administration.
  13. Vanimal46
    Honestly I'd rather see a loss and go 7-9. Probably won't turn the game on to watch.
  14. Vanimal46
    Falvey to the Nationals GM: So let's leave it alone, Cause we can't see eye to eye There ain't no good guy There ain't no bad guy There's only you and me And we just disagree oooo-wooo-oooo Ohhohh-Ohhohh woah
  15. Vanimal46
    Falvey: "So you offered me De Leon and spare parts, that don't impress ah me much."
  16. Vanimal46
    I certainly feel like it right now. First old man experience of my life. Wouldn't wish a back injury to my worst enemy.
  17. Vanimal46
    The hard part is over. Now just a short layover in Dallas, and 1 more hour in the plane to Austin.
  18. Vanimal46
    Cross fingers for me. Threw out my back yesterday playing golf. Now attempting to ride on an airplane.
  19. Vanimal46
    Buxton and Kepler are the keys to the OF for the next playoff caliber team. Rosario IMO would be the ideal 4th OF, but I can understand giving him another shot to start in LF this year. No surprise, I want D Santana and Grossman off the team. Grossman because of putrid defense, and Santana because he does nothing well. Hopefully one (or both) of Palka and Granite does well to deserve a call up this season.

    There's "Never been any reason" to not trade Dozier as Head East used to say... I'm "Dazed and Confused" from all of these false/correct reports out there concerning Dozier. But again, I'm just enjoying the "Sound of Silence" before the inevitable trade...
  21. Vanimal46
    Incredibly stupid move by McGhee.
  22. Vanimal46
    There it is. Finally won a bowl game thanks to the defense, Brooks, and Rodney Smith.
  23. Vanimal46
    Wish that would have been a pick 6... Alright Leidner, let's close out the last game of your career.
  24. Vanimal46
    Leidner fumbles. Weird.
  25. Vanimal46
    Just saw the same thing Dave did. Doogie had to have been fed a false report and ran with it.
