  1. The leverage the Twins have is to back out of the deal if Boston is now insisting on Balazovic or Duran, and I would. Then it's between the Red Sox and the Dodgers to work it out. The two of those teams WANT this, maybe even NEED this, much more than the Twins. Our leverage is to simply back out if asked to give more.
  2. I'd say no deal to that. I'm okay with losing Graterol ... I'm not okay with either of the other two.
  3. MODERATOR NOTE: Please stick to the topic which is NOT compare and contrast Ryan with Falvey/Levine. I don't care who signed whom, and it doesn't matter, nor is the OP asking for that ... it's asking you to discuss our backup options no matter who signed them. If you want to have a compare/contrast 'regimes' discussion, please start your own thread or write a blog.
  4. lol ... this whole blog was really funny ... so was your last one ... hope others will be able to carve out enough time to read it
  5. Is that the name of some kind of whiskey and vodka concoction?
  6. Pitchers and catchers report Feb. 12, position players Feb. 17 ... today is Jan. 14 ... so .... SOON-ISH!
  7. Man ... get together for dinner with my next door neighbors and I miss everything!
  8. You know ... I think a LOT of batters take way too much, time ... in and out of that batter's box.
  9. Moderator note: To remind readers, there has been an ongoing discussion about this case in the Other Baseball forum. Since it was contained to the Astros, and now somewhat Boston, and a more general discussion, it wasn't a Twins article so remains there. But in case you want to read/see all the comments so far, from the time this came to light back in November, here is the link to that discussion thread: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/35518-astros-being-investigated-for-using-tech-to-steal-pitching-signs/page-6?do=findComment&comment=949361
  10. Angry? No, I’m not angry. A little disappointed and frustrated, but, for me, it’s just difficult for me to expend that much energy on something I have zero control over, unless I forget, as I do from time to time. But I do have control over what I spend my money on and could choose to limit my spending on games and whatnot. And I keep reciting my mantra in times like this ... ‘It’s only a game, it’s only a game.’ Yeah, I’d prefer it to be a joyful diversion from other aspects of life and death around the world, but, there it is ... it’s not life or death here. That all said, imo, I’ll give it a bit more time, until the season starts, before I hand out my grade, but the FO needs to turn in one heckuva final!
  11. It always takes two in these case ... I don’t think it’s a ‘pick a side’, finger pointing issue. This is also just how it’s done. And given what pitchers have gotten this year, I don’t blame him for wanting to optimize what he will earn. And there is still time. They could come to an agreement before they actually get to arbitration.
  12. Did you read this thread before reading the news on Sano? I’m hoping they are going to work out a deal with Berrios, too.
  13. Maybe they are trying to work out a deal with him and that’s the hold up, and not $375,000.
  14. I've seen some of his workouts and activity on instagram. He looks like he's kept up with some kind of regimen.
  15. If you want to complain about TD, and the types of stories being presented, please do ... but do it here: http://twinsdaily.com/forum/13-questions-about-minncentric/ Or contact one of the owners. But please be respectful to the contributing writers and comment on what they have taken time to present.
  16. Okay, everyone ... take a breath ... back to the topic, and not on each other and insults.
  17. No, I wasn’t trying to be provocative at all. I was saying if they do open their checkbooks for Donaldson, I think it shows there is a willingness to spend. And if there is a willingness to spend, then perhaps there could be some truth to Wheeler and Bumgarner not wanting to come here for other reasons. But the point of my post was that it doesn’t matter, we are still where we always are ... without the pitching I think we need.
  18. Point taken. I removed my initial warning
