    Yes, I'll include my closer for a pitcher in A ball. We're in win now mode!
  2. howeda7
    This trade might have made sense in December. But saying you're contending and then trading your closer the day before opening day for a non-sure thing starter is just bizarre and does not help you in 2022 even if it's a good trade long-term. If they're trying to win in 2022, this is foolish. If they're not trying to win in 2022, fine, but then WTF were the last 3 weeks about.
  3. howeda7
    Trading Rogers while claiming you're trying to make the play-offs is a joke. This bullpen is marginal as it is.
  4. howeda7
    Skimming his baseball reference #'s, it's not that inspiring though he had a huge ERA/FIP gap last year. Is there something more there? Also, who exits the rotation or do we go 6 starters until someone pitches their way out of it?
  5. howeda7
    Cave is making the team. And he's playing at least twice/week. He's Rocco's Nick Punto. Book it.
  6. howeda7
    I feel like at least one of Minaya/Coulombe will make the bullpen. I know their stuff doesn't excite anyone but they were both solid last year and have been in Spring so far this year last I checked.
  7. howeda7
    I prefer Arreaz 3B/DH Polanco 2B Buxton CF Correa SS Kierloff LF Sano 1B Kepler RF Urshela/Sanchez 3B/DH Jeffers/Sanchez C
  8. howeda7
    I have no issue with this as long as the leash is short enough. I give him and Bundy both 5 starts. If the ERA is over 5.50 at that point you're cut. Period.
  9. howeda7
    I assumed this was about new chicken tenders at Target Field.
  10. howeda7
    Also, now they pretty much have to give Oakland whatever they want for Montas, otherwise, what's the point of all this?
  11. howeda7
    Happy to be wrong and very surprised Correa agreed to such a short-term deal. I figured he was looking at 5/$150 at an absolute minimum.
  12. howeda7
    They'll sign Pineda or Cueto. That's it. They're done. The payroll will be less than $100 million and they'll finish last. There's no excuse for it. Either fire Falvey or sell the team, Jim. Preferably both.
  13. howeda7
    I have a huge issue with not even trying in 2022. Especially if there are going to be 12 or 14 play-off teams. This offense is good enough to get a play-off spot and you are wasting a prime year of Buxton, Polanco etc. and the last year of Donaldson. The unwillingness of the front office to be aggressive in pursuit of pitching is maddening.
  14. howeda7
    Keeping Cave is a joke. The day Falvey is gone can't come soon enough.
  15. howeda7
    I'm guessing he's still insurable it just costs more.
  16. howeda7
    I know many bemoaned the Mauer contract. I never did. They had to sign him. They had no choice. They could not let him walk one year after Target Field opened. But they are closer to the same reality now with Buxton then they realize. Let him walk and you alienate a lot of your hard core fans. You already have terrible attendance last year and terrible TV ratings. The lockout will alienate them further unless it's resolved quickly. If you're trading Buxton and going back to a cheap rebuild, I'm out. I don't think I'm alone. The Twins will be relegated to Wolves territory for me. I will spend $0 on you and wake me when you make the play-offs. Until then., I don't care.
  17. howeda7
    If the options are sign Buxton for 7/$100 million (or even 5/$100) or trade him for the return we got for Berrios, I'll take Buxton any day and it's not close.
  18. howeda7
    Getting the Berrios return when you could have Buxton for what is being reports is still a terrible decision.
  19. howeda7
    Exactly this. Not only do they have $0 committed past 2023, but who are they going to keep who's expensive. Donaldson will be gone. Sano will be gone. Maeda will be gone. Kepler will be gone. Maybe they keep Polanco. But who else is going to be expensive in 2024, 2025, 2026? MAYBE Kiriloff and Joe Ryan if we're lucky. Even if we're going to truck along at $120 million payrolls, which is lower than it should be, we STILL can easily afford Buxton.
  20. howeda7
    Then Falvey is incompetent and should be fired immediately. It makes no sense that he will give Josh Donaldson $23 million/year and balk at giving Buxton $15 much less $20.
  21. howeda7
    If the reported #'s are even within 50% accurate there is ZERO reason not to have the extension done already. The only answer is the Falvey is too arrogant/incompetent to finish a slam dunk or Pohlad is squeezing the purse strings super tight and they're planning to have a $70 million payroll. The former is far more likely the case. This is beyond frustrating. It's disgusting. Enough to be done with this team until either Falvey, the Pohlads or both are gone.
  22. howeda7
    Since June 8th, he's batting .175 with a .442 OPS (and has 3 errors.) I don't see how it could possibly make them worse to play Polanco with Arreaz or Gordon.
  23. howeda7
    They already have the "we need some vets to keep us from embarrassing ourselves" cards played in trading for Gant and inexplicably keeping Pineda. This call up is ridiculous, especially with the young lefty dealing in St. Paul.
  24. howeda7
    I won't be outraged when they're back next year, but I've seen enough. They may be able to get the Twins back to play-off contention, but they'll never contend for a World Series with this front office. They proved that when they did nothing at the deadline in 2019. There are a lot of problems with the moves made last winter. I can forgive Happ and even Colome because both were worse than anyone could have expected. There's zero excuse for losing Wade and Badoo for the sake of Jake Cave, etc. But let's focus on what they're doing now. Continuing to run Simmons and Jake Cave out on a regular basis is maddening. Why is either one on the team? And they finally end the Burrow experiment, but who do they call up? A 35 year-old waiver claim. What is the fascination with garbage heap waiver claims. Call up some of the young arms already. Ugh.
  25. howeda7
    I feel sorry for anyone who spent $ on on tickets to this, only to have the team forfeight before the 1st pitch. Get Burrows, Simmons and Cave off this team. They have zero chance of being contributors in 2022. And for God's sake, IL Donladson already and get Miranda up here.
