    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.

    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.
  3. Squirrel
    Maybe they are trying to work out a deal with him and that’s the hold up, and not $375,000.

    I've seen some of his workouts and activity on instagram. He looks like he's kept up with some kind of regimen.

    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.

    Okay, everyone ... take a breath ... back to the topic, and not on each other and insults.

    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.
  8. Squirrel
    Point taken. I removed my initial warning
  9. Squirrel
    If they do open the checkbook and sign Donaldson, wouldn’t that just give some credence to the stories that pitchers signed elsewhere because they wanted to be elsewhere? Something we can never know for sure. But ... that still leaves us where we always are, as I said in my post above ... still in need of pitching that has a chance of getting it done.
  10. Squirrel
    Where are we now? About where we always are ... in need of pitching and hoping a couple of the young ones step up. Albeit, I think some of the young ones are a bit more hopeful than in the past, but ... here we are. Where we pretty much always are.

    Rosario’s first at bat, first pitch, ever in the majors ... home run. And then seeing his family’s reaction. But the Mauer one ... that still makes me teary. The game against Detroit where we came back in the 9th from a ... was it a 6-run deficit I think? ... that was awesome, Dozier was awesome.

    Ah, so you were commenting on the title and not the body of the article. I don’t know, honestly. A whole season of Sano could prove interesting. So could a season with Kep healthy. Those would be my players to watch make enough headway and differences in the season upcoming to garner mvp attention.
  13. Squirrel
    Thanks for your perspective ... and your support against the White Sox!

    It’s been on my list since before it was released. I’ve been trying to interest my Mom in seeing that one, but she’s so so on it. May have to wait until I get back to ChiTown ... hopefully it will still be playing at my neighborhood theater.

    We all know by now your thoughts on Buxton, so before we turn this thread into a Buxton debate, the OP asked who do you think the 2020 MVP will be? Yes, not Buxton, but who do you think that will be? Someone currently on the roster, someone outside yet to be named?
  16. Squirrel
    Please stick to the topic. thanks!

    Moderator reminder: This thread is about Graterol’s role next season. Please keep your comments directed that way. Thanks.
  19. Squirrel
    If the plan is for Graterol, how would that look for you? As a starter, primary or relief pitcher? Does he open here or get more time in Rochester? Do you think a pitch limit should be on this year? Just a reminder that this thread is to discuss what role you think Graterol should/will have this season and not a general session on who the Twins didn’t get and why. There are other threads for that, so let’s keep at least one thread on track and not devolve as others have. Thanks.

    Just saw ‘Bombshell.’ Very good ... but not much I will say in the subject matter so I don’t take this thread off track. Worth seeing.
  21. Squirrel
    This off-season, so far, has been very impactful in its impactlessness. I hope I’m not saying that come April, but I’m not turning blue from holding my breath, either.
  22. Squirrel
    Welcome to TD!
  23. Squirrel
    So then, do you want Graterol as a starter only or reliever only, in the majors or in AAA? If Graterol is on a pitch limit, being a starter or a stacker is an option. I’m not sold on the whole starter idea, either, but it could be a good way to utilize Graterol if he’s on a limit or to get him stretched by gradually increasing innings.
  24. Squirrel
    Moderator warning: please stop this back and forth about Bumgarner. The thread topic is ‘What now?’ Please move forward and past what we didn’t get and get back to topic of this thread.
  25. Squirrel
    That’s fair ... so you’re saying that we are at the end of the road and what’s next is nothing?
