    Wild game it is!

    I'm guessing Mejia will be the guy if they do play?

    This is what I was going to mention. What is the point of playing extra innings for these guys? You want to keep them healthy, and being in a demanding, grinding schedule doesn't mix well with 15 inning games. Also, what happens if they run of out pitchers or overextend someone in extras? The rule makes sense...as long as it stays in the minors.

    I'm sure this looks familiar to you people this year

    I don't think he ends up on the Yankees either, but I think they will still be in the running since they like their vets...and I can also see them trading some of those prospects for a starting pitcher. I'm guessing he signs with Dodgers, Angels or Mets.

    When I first saw "CHATTANOOGA CHATTER," I thought they had changed their team name. Great report-thanks! Sorry if I missed it, but what was Hughes' velocity?
  7. cmoss84
    I know this question wasn't geared for me, so my apologies. I would say the usual suspects-both LA teams, both NY teams, and Boston. Whoever loses out on Harper and Machado will want to add some pop elsewhere. Red Sox have Pedroia, but he is running on fumes and Hanley's contract is off the books after this year.

    Ubaldo Jimenez for two months? RA Dickey? Lol
  9. cmoss84
    So if our minor league talent isn't ready (and if our young guys don't progress), you think the Twins offer him 90 million+? Or you don't think he will make that much anywhere?
  10. cmoss84
    Is Romero starting their first game?
  11. cmoss84
    Over/Under for total number of hits 7-9 will get today: 3.5 I'm going with the over!
  12. cmoss84
    I really do not see him signing a contract for less than 90-100 mil (let's be real-he's earned it). I do not see us paying him that much. It is as simple as that. I would love to have him back, but he is really going to have to buy into this club and give a hometown discount if he is going to remain a Twin. I'm guessing someone ponies up and offers him 5 and 100 or 110.

    Isn't this true for this year's entire FA class? 3.38 ERA in nearly 1000 inn...he wanted to come here. Who knows how he will pitch this year, but this was a REALLY good signing. Some of you guys are tough!
  14. cmoss84
    Now go sign Cobb to a one year deal to take the 5th spot!
  15. cmoss84
    Guess we went with A! Awesome-so much of an upgrade over Mejia/Gibson/rookies. This has been the best off-season I can remember. I guess the patience paid off!
  16. cmoss84
    Mejia seems to struggle getting through 5 inn almost every single game he pitches in. He is a mid-4's ERA guy. ERA counts for something, especially with a really good defense behind you. If Lynn makes 30 starts and throws 180 inn with an ERA in the low 4's, doesn't that seem to be an improvement over Mejia? I am cheering for Mejia to take the next step-and he very well might. But Lynn is an improvement over Mejia, and might mean 2-3 more wins on the season...which is the difference in getting a wild card bid or not.
  17. cmoss84
    Not many players these days spend their entire career for one club. Joe seems like the type of guy who would appreciate/value doing so. I would put my money on one of two outcomes after this year: retiring or taking a cheap one year contract for one last WS run. 6'6" guys usually don't play into their late 30's either.
  18. cmoss84
    Purely hypothetical question. IF Greg Holland does not get any offers to be anyone's closer, do we go to plan B for FA pitching and sign him on a cheap one year deal (maybe 7-8 million)? *and if Arrieta/Cobb/Lynn end up out of our price range* This way, if we get 5 solid inn from our starters every game (especially Gibson and Mejia), we have a really strong pen to shorten the game. We can have a closer by committee system and rotate Rodney, Reed and Holland, along with having really good depth for 6th/7th inn matchups.
  19. cmoss84
    true! 2.5 it is
  20. cmoss84
    Let's say the over/under on the number of Twins to hit 30+ homeruns is set at 3. What direction would you go? Any other surprise hitters that might make a run at it? Last year: Sano 28 in 114 games Rosario 27 in 151 games Dozier 34 in 152 Morrison 38 in 149 games Kepler 19 in 147 Buxton 16 in 140
  21. cmoss84
    Maybe this is the wrong way to look at things, but the division he pitched in had some pretty good hitting teams (Cubs/Reds/Brewers) and he pitched pretty well against some AL teams as well in inter league play. I would be confident when he pitches against the white sox, tigers, royals, and most AL teams. Much more confident than when our current 3-5 pitchers are on the bump.
  22. cmoss84
    I'm sure they don't ever fully disclose all terms of any contract being offered. 2 years/12 million might be what was guaranteed. Incentives might have bumped it to 12 million/year. There might have been a 3rd year player option. Who knows. No use speculating with so many uncertainties. I'm just glad we are still having conversations with SP free agents. Something is going to happen. Soon. I can feel it.

    The real wildcard that will effect the lineup the most is Buxton. Does he start off cold in the 1st half? Does he hit well at the bottom of the lineup but struggle to hit at the top? Who is hitting ahead of him-does he have slow runners on the pads in front of him? There are quite a few posts throughout these threads with everyone's ideal lineup-and a lot of them make a lot of sense. I think ideally, if Buxton can handle it, he hits leadoff and someone with at least decent speed hits 8 and 9 so that we can watch him run. Here's my take if he can handle lead-off duties: Buxton CF Mauer 1B Dozier 2B Sano 3B Rosario LF Morrison DH Castro/Garver (50/50 split) Kepler RF Polanco SS

    The FO has done a nice job this off season in adding some key pieces to the puzzle. However, it still feels like one more signing is coming. I am not good at creating polls-so here is my question in normal thread format: Choose between these three options for a 1 year/$12 million deal A ) Lynn (buying into his stuff and experience) B ) Cobb (buying into his experience in the AL/AL East) C ) Moose (anticipating Sano missing some time and buying into an all-lefty lineup) * I understand they might be more expensive. This is purely hypothetical.

    good to know-thanks
