    I'd have taken him at that price...
  2. howeda7
    Doogie heard they called the hotel to book a room but they couldn't work it out, despite a generous offer.
  3. howeda7
    What were Baumgarner's demands? I still think there is a decent gap between him and Kuechel.
  4. howeda7
    If you can really get Didi Gregorius for $15 million, sign me up for him and MadBaum at $21 million. If that is over the cap, trade Rosario to free up $ for one more RP.
  5. howeda7
    Even if it means getting neither? If it takes 5/$100 to get MadBaum, so be it. We don't have many (any) better options.
  6. howeda7
    I'm not forgetting so much as I would have him penciled into the bullpen. But I suppose he is an option for the rotation as well. As for Graterol, I assume they will not even consider putting him on the Opening Day roster so as not to burn a year of service time. He will be an option around the All-Star break.
  7. howeda7
    Meh. Either him or Castro for $4 million is fine I guess. I personally had no issue with Astudillo being the back-up catcher. No one bothers to steal anymore, give me the better hitter.
  8. howeda7
    If Dobnak is the 4th/5th starter, I'm comfortable with Smeltzer making the 6 starts that would be needed for the 5th spot in the first 39 games. Or vice versa depending on who wins the 5th job in ST.
  9. howeda7
    I'd like to hear more about this LibertyPatriot.USA
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. howeda7
    Rosario, Balazovic + another younger pitcher. Get it done.
  14. howeda7
    The Twins know "trying" isn't good enough in this instance.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.).
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. howeda7
    Everything about Donaldson screams "you're going to over-pay and be disappointed." Give me Moose and spend the savings on pitching.
  24. howeda7
    This. Though I'd skip the trade Arreaz part. Or sign a SS and move Polanco to 3B.
  25. 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.
