    They're going to have a tough matchup against the Jets and it's going to be even more difficult with Suter out. Hopefully Spurgeon will be healthy enough to come back and play a strong series. Playoffs are always fun to watch and you never know what's going to happen. The best thing the Wild have going for them is their playoff experience compared to the Jets. It's something like 900 plus games played for the Wild compared to 250 for the Jets. The Jets goalie doesn't have any playoff experience so hopefully the Wild can score a few early goals and rattle him a bit.

    It's great to have the minor league reports back! Thanks to everyone for putting these together!

    Are team options common in baseball contracts? Would both sides be agreeable to a 5 year deal where year 4 is a player option and year 5 is a team option or player/team option? Deal would be 5 years for say 85 to 90 million. After year three Dozier could opt out and after year four both parties would have to agree to the fifth year. I think this would be beneficial for both parties. It gives Dozier the security with a 4 year deal and also gives him the option to opt out early if he continues to put up great years. It would also give the team security because they would have to agree to the fifth season and if he starts dropping off they walk away.

    6 quality innings! Nice way to start the season.

    Opening Day!!!! That is all.

    This is a good addition to the team. Very big power forward that has good puck possession and a net front presence.

    So, it makes sense now why the Twins signed Aybar. With Polanco and Sano potentially being suspended for the beginning of the season they needed someone as a backup plan.

    Sounds like Sheldon Richardon is in town visiting with the Vikings as well.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you because the way the salary CAP has increased each year. Since 2012 it's increased by at least $10 million from the season before. The Vikings were roughly $13 Million under the CAP last season so that carries over to 2018, which will allow them to structure the deal in a way where the first year of the deal has a higher CAP hit. The Vikings have roughly $47 Million in CAP space this offseason and from reports the first year of the deal could be in the $35-$37 Million range. If it's $35 Million the first season the remaining two years it will be in the $24 - $25 Million range. There will be plenty of room for the team to sign players they deem necessary. The biggest challenge will continue to be drafting and developing players. To have continued success in any sport drafting players to replace aging and expensive players is the only way to remain competitive.

    Now solidify the offensive and defensive line and the Vikings should be all set. It will be interesting how Cousins performs with a team around him that actually has talent.

    In the very small sample size of games / innings I've been able to watch so far this season it does seem like Gordon's arm is really weak especially since he's been throwing from second base. I know he injured one of his wrists earlier in ST, not sure which one, so if it's his throwing arm then maybe that is why.
  13. SF Twins Fan
    Mauer and Dozier are at two different stages in their career, so that comparison doesn't work.
  14. SF Twins Fan
    I think the Twins will miss his right handed bat the most especially since it looks like they will be replacing him with Gordon. It would definitely be difficult to replace everything he does for the Twins team. I'd like to see them bring him back for 3 or 4 more seasons but if they don't I just hope the FO actually spends the money on the starting rotation.
  15. SF Twins Fan
    That's exactly what I would do as well. First three rounds should be OL, DL and DB.

    And what about the season before that?
  19. SF Twins Fan
    Part of the reason he'd start in AA is the depth the Twins currently have at pitching. Twins: Santana, Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi and Mejia AAA Starters: Slegers, Gonsalves, Jorge, Enns and Huges/Littel/May
  20. SF Twins Fan
    Those numbers are great but if he's getting injured every year and can't help the team make the playoffs and during the playoffs it's not going to matter.

    But why? If the rep didn't want this information to get out to the general public they shouldn't have sent this as a response. If this is all true it's pretty tactless, especially the part about Mauer as he's still currently employed by the team and one of the all time best to play for the Twins. If this information isn't coming from the higher ups then this person deserves any reprimand they might get.
  23. SF Twins Fan
    He might be the prospect I'm most excited to follow this season. It'll be interesting to see where he end the season.

    The problem the Twins would have if they waived Vargas is they don't have anyone to backup Joe at first. Sano can play there on occasion but he's probably going to be suspended and will need days off as well. He has yet to play more than 116 games in a season. Garver would be another option but most coaches don't like to play both catchers in the same game. Whoever they bring in to replace Vargas would need to be able to play 1st base as well.
