    Preach it.... It IS possible to be a rebuilding team and spend some money to acquire players that play positions your organization is weak in....

    Well thought out, Baseball Bat. I'm with you on a lot of these moves. I would hope E Santana would attract a better return than Keller, especially if they eat some of the contract money too. If Gomez could be had on a 1 year prove it deal, I'm pulling the trigger on that. If he wants 3+ years, it's best to look elsewhere. Overall good plan!

    Cardinals signed LHRP Brett Cecil to a 4 year $30.5 MM contact over the weekend. That also includes a full no-trade clause. He's had good stats over the last 4 years, and should be a solid back end of the bullpen for the Cards.

    Castro, Wieters, or Ramos appear to be it for appealing C options... Castro is the best defensively. This team can afford a premium contract this off-season without future payroll issues... Bottom line is I'd rather spend $15 million towards a player or 2 instead of the Pohlad's pocketing an extra $15 million.
  7. Vanimal46
    I'm going to be very disappointed if they don't go get a legitimate C this off-season. They already have $10+ million off the books from last year - with Plouffe gone, and not having to pay the rest of Jepsen and Fien's salaries....
  8. Vanimal46
    If this is legitimate, then this deal is much better than the projected Dodgers trade acquiring De Leon and others. Let's explore this option.
  9. Vanimal46
    Plouffe was a valuable piece for the roster when he was hitting in the .750 OPS range making $1-4 million. He's no longer valuable at $8 million without improvement at the plate, and declining skills in the field. I could see the Brewers or some other rebuilding team giving him a shot to start at 3B for 2 years in the $10-14 million range. He may have to wait until March to sign that kind of contract though.
  10. Vanimal46
    No. 3 option years left I think.
  11. Vanimal46
    Nothing better than a good fall cleaning. Good luck to both of them. Keep it coming, Falvey & Levine!
  12. Vanimal46
    Yep, this sounds about right. This may be a long winter of waiting for him.
  13. Vanimal46
    EDIT: Well, maybe ABW has a chance to get some MLB at bats there. Good luck to him.
  14. Vanimal46
    Wow. That one is surprising. Must be a C signing on the horizon....
  15. Vanimal46
    This is the right move to make for the Twins. Good luck to Plouffe wherever he decides to sign this winter.
  16. Vanimal46
    This rumor doesn't move the needle much IMO. I'd look elsewhere.
  17. Vanimal46
    Rangers sign SP Andrew Cashner - 1 year $10 million. That is reasonable.
  18. Vanimal46
    Ugh, of course they're not letting him out... Sad, really.
  19. Vanimal46
    With free HBO for 6 months only.... We have to draw the line somewhere. We're not made of money here at 1 Twins Way!
  20. Vanimal46
    12:32 Art Vandelay: Dozier…is he even worth a Brandon McCarthy type? Or would the Twins aim younger do you think? 12:32 Eno Sarris: He’s worth a good bit. Signed for only $15 million for the next two years and just put up nine-plus wins in the last two years. Um, what Art? http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/no-answer.gif

    1:27 Josh: Piece of advice you would have for MN pitching? Love reading your stuff Eno 1:28 Eno Sarris: Give Mejia and Berrios a real long shot. Agreed on Berrios... Not sold on Mejia getting a long shot yet.

    As healthcare continues to evolve, who knows.... Maybe you'll be able to live long enough to see 2057! Lord knows modern medicine wasn't that great in Chief's time, and he's still living today!
  23. Vanimal46
    Good luck to Gardy in his new role. I'm sure he's happy back in his natural habitat, the dugout.
  24. Vanimal46
    It's my work anniversary today.... So the boss took me out for a Fat Thursday lunch.... Styles Switch BBQ was the first stop for turkey, brisket, mac & cheese, and corn casserole. Followed up with Amy's Ice Cream for a scoop of Mexican Vanilla topped with Butterfinger. This guy is fat and happy for the rest of the day.
  25. Vanimal46
    I'm all for bundling.... If there's one thing we've learned from cable companies over the years, bundling = a better deal! I just don't see how our bundle nets that kind of return from the Dodgers.
