    I'd like to hear more about this LibertyPatriot.USA
  2. howeda7
    Absolutely, yes. In NFL FA, the total pie is only so big and the Vikings share is equal to everyone else's. The Yankees/Phillies can always offer a slice a little bigger than the Twins, no matter how big we cut it.
  3. howeda7
    If it takes 5/$100 to get MadBaum, offer him $24 million to start and decline $2 million/year. We have the flexibility now and it will be less painful to pay him $16 million for the 2024 season when he's 35.
  4. howeda7
    Plenty of teams schedule FCS opponents and SDSU is one of the best. They could beat Rutgers and probably Maryland easily. They were not the worst team on our schedule.
  5. howeda7
    Rosario, Balazovic + another younger pitcher. Get it done.
  6. howeda7
    The Twins know "trying" isn't good enough in this instance.
  7. howeda7
    If they're out on Wheeler, fine, but they better have a back-up plan. MadBaum as the second move is fine. He can't be the main acquisition.
  8. howeda7
    This. If they don't spend significant $$ on starting pitching because "the market went crazy" than Falvine and the Pohlads are negligent in their roles and should sell/move on.
  9. howeda7
    My only point is that they have one very good win and some of the teams ranked in front of them have no top 15 or top 10 wins at all (Alabama, Iowa, Memphis etc.). Very few have 2. Their NC schedule this year didn't pan out all that great. But playing a road game at Fresno State when they won 11 games last year is not scheduling cream puffs. They simply fell off a lot from one year to the next. Most years they are equal to or better than a mid-tier Power 5 team.
  10. howeda7
    Next year they swap PSU for Michigan (a draw at worst) and Rutgers for Michigan State (no one is as bad as Rutgers, but MSU is very winnable.).
  11. howeda7
    This is a silly standard. Who has Alabama beat? Who has Clemson beat? Who has Utah beat? If the standard is "2 or more win against top 15 teams" almost no one should ever go to a New Year's Bowl. Illinois turned out better than expected. Nebraska and Maryland worse. The Gophers don't have to apologize for who they played. And they won most of those games convincingly.
  12. howeda7
    I'm not convinced there's a big gap between them if the price is double. And yes, they have a budget. If they save $12 million on Moose vs. Donaldson, it's safe to assume at least some of that will be spent elsewhere.
  13. howeda7
    Personally, I have no issue with Astudillo being the back-up catcher and zero interest in Castro coming back. Since no one except the Royals bother to steal bases anymore, as long as he's not a train-wreck back there, he's fine.
  14. howeda7
    Sano at 1B is not like Sano in RF. He's already played 1B fairly often and been fine. He's not great there either, but less awful than at 3B.
  15. howeda7
    Everything about Donaldson screams "you're going to over-pay and be disappointed." Give me Moose and spend the savings on pitching.
  16. howeda7
    This. Though I'd skip the trade Arreaz part. Or sign a SS and move Polanco to 3B.
  17. howeda7
    It wasn't that worrisome. Though I don't understand why NW didn't use that QB a lot sooner. Night and day vs the starter. If they hadn't knocked the NW starter out, they may have won 42-2.
  18. howeda7
    Trade Sano, Buxton Rosario and Polanco, eh? Wow.
  19. howeda7
    I'm not sure what you mean by "ready". He might not be good over there, but he's not good at 3B either. He will do less damage at 1B IMO. He will probably DH by 2021. I suppose that's argument for leaving him at 3B and trying to gut out 1 more year. But even once he's DHing it would be good to have him split time at 1B.
  20. howeda7
    Well, if they were willing to do it for Buxton, Rosario plus a top 5 prospect beats that, IMO. But perhaps their intentions have changed.
  21. howeda7
    I have nothing against Cron, but I'd strongly prefer they move Sano to 1B and fill 3rd with a free agent or shuffle the IF if Gordon is ready. The IF defense overall was poor and Sano at 3B is the weakest link.
  22. howeda7
    Losing on the road to the #20 team is not cause to plummet 12 spots in the rankings. 12th is where they are in AP/Coaches and is about right.
  23. howeda7
    That was my first thought, but if they suspected that, I don't think they would be coming out and saying natural causes. (A spider/snake bite would not be either.) Outside of some sort of un-diagnosed heart condition, there aren't a lot of natural causes for a 23 y/o with no known illnesses.
  24. howeda7
    I would trade Rosario if the return is decent. Under team control for 2 more years and I have zero interest in keeping him long term. Would Rasario and the #2 pitching prospect (start with a B, I won't try to spell it) be enough to get Syndergaard?
  25. howeda7
    Very sad. What could the natural causes be at 23?
