Twins Request Final Offers For Dozier
Squirrel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I disagree. It's not an ultimatum at all. It's wanting to get it done because they need to move forward one way or another. It wouldn't be smart if they weren't prepared to walk away, but I think they are and always have been. -
Twins Daily doesn't. One of its posters does.
-
Yeah, because that's about the only Shakespear title that works ... Macbeth? No. Romeo and Juliet? No. Julius Caesar? King Lear? Othello? No. Okay, well, there are a few that could work ... As You Like It, Winter's Tale, Tempest, and maybe Taming of the Shrew ... but I'll save All's Well That Ends Well depending on the final outcome, which can't be known immediately. As for some of these threads ... I'll save Comedy of Errors for them.
-
I liked that for the humor, not for the bacon.
-
Lol, we're off our game, I guess!

While I'm mostly in agreement with your stance on what the Twins should get for Dozier, I don't think anyone who is advocating we need to trade him are advocating to make a trade just to make a trade. Our differences lie in the area of how much we think we should/can get for him. No one is suggesting we trade him for nothing. We need pitching and Dozier is the chip to get it, but where we settle on price is the debate.

Oops, sorry. I read that wrong. Long day. I was thinking the opposite. Apologies.

I've Got My Mind Set On You

I don't think Dave has been unambiguous. He's been saying pretty much the same thing from the beginning, the only 'off' thing so far has been the timing of it. If you want to be skeptical, that's fine. I'm skeptical about Dave's source, too, in that I wonder if Dave is being told accurate information, but not that Dave hasn't told us what he's been told.
-
You know, locking up a thread shouldn't be the solution to disagreement. It's actually kind of sad if that is the solution. Why not just shrug, agree to disagree, and just end your part in the discussion without saying anything further and walk away. This need to prove another wrong or prove yourself right or keep arguing until others agree with you or so you can have the last word just isn't constructive. Yeah, I get it, you passionately believe you are right. So what? The other believes that, too. But making your arguments personal toward another is not going to fly. And if anyone is wondering ... a few posts and/or comments were removed that would make my rant make sense.

It made me throw up a little, but I still get that it was meant to be funny.

Heh, yes, such a warm and fuzzy collective we all are.

I'd actually be a little so-so on that depending on the 3rd piece.

Not 'ours' ... one person's.

And I didn't say you'd give them away for nothing, but all of us seem to have a differing point of view on just what they should pull the trigger on. I really want a better 3rd piece. And now Heyman suggests it might be DeLeon or Alvarez, not and, as Dave's source is sure of. I just don't know what to think, but I do think they haven't heard yet what they want.
-
I wish I really knew what the offer is, but I'm not a fly on that wall.

I have never disagreed with that, nor with using Dozier as the chip. But getting 'some' prospects is a whole lot different than getting the right ones and the ones who will help us down the road. It makes no sense to make a trade that doesn't make you a better team in the long run. That's where we all differ. I think Dozier is worth a lot and I don't want him traded for less than he is worth. Another area of disagreement between fans ... just what is he worth. But it still makes no sense to trade him for chips that don't work out, that is why you maximize the chips you want in return because who knows what they will do and you hope for one or two to actually work to make the trade worthwhile.
-
Meh, I don't really care. It was obvious that whatever has been offered ... and we do NOT know for sure what that is beyond rumors and speculations ... wasn't enough for the Twins to pull the trigger or they would have by now. If this ploy worked, then good for the Twins. If it didn't, we were still where we are ... no closer to a deal than before.
-
And I'd leave it.
-
If this is true, then it doesn't surprise me there is no deal yet.
-
Oy. Maybe a lumbar pillow would help?
-
Yeah ... it's was mentioned in the celebrity death pool thread. Kind of like all the Dozier trade threads ... pick a thread, any thread ...
-
Wow, rough year. Worst for me was Prince.

Depends on who they are playing and where you want to sit, and there are differing opinions on the latter part of that statement from members of the board. I, personally, for an afternoon game, like seats in the shade. Those would be in the 200 level reserved seating starting about midway back. And, probably those won't sell out, depending on who they play. (Games against Boston sell pretty well; so do games against the Yankees, but they Yankees aren't coming down this year.) My latest trick has been to buy the least expensive seat I can, then head to the first come, first served drink rail seats in the 300 level. But that requires you to get there pretty close to gate opening and then to keep your seat one of you would have to stay there to make sure no one else takes them. I don't mind doing that as I've been to the stadium and ST many, many times. And once in the stadium, there is no longer reentry allowed so you can't wander the stadium then leave to check out the minor league area then go back in. But what I'd recommend, if you've never been, is get to the stadium very early, get your tickets wherever, then wander down to the minor league area and check that out before heading into the stadium.

And on that note, let's move on from this conversation focused on Mejia and get back to Santana. If either of you wants to continue, start a new thread or take it to PM's.
