    (Chanting) one of us. One of us.

    Let's not forget, every team will be doing the same thing.

    I bet Blackburn could use some veteran leadership assistance at AAA

    Rim shot!

    A few things. Casilla is now on the Orioles. I don't believe anyone is looking to sign Saunders for three years. Two max. If Saunders was signed, he isn't the odd man out, Correia and his $10 large are. Gibson is going to have ~130 IP limit (though I'm not positive that is official). A handful of other guys are also coming off arm injuries, along with Hendriks still needing to actually put it together at the major league level. The whole starting pitching situation has been discussed at length. I dont think 2/$14 for a left handed innings eater in Saunders would be the worst move this team could make, but from what it sounds that won't be enough for us to get him anyway.

    Sign Punto to a three year deal! He's a gamer and a winner and plays the game the right way!!!!!!111!!

    Sigh.

    Personally I would have tried to buy low on Yunel Escobar but since he's a big meanie then that would have never happened. It's fairly obvious we don't have the fire power to pull Off a trade for a top shelf SS but... If you're going to be all Smug about things..I'm sure we can trade Morneau or Willingham for a so so guy that has a hell of a lot more upside than Pedro freaking Florimon. I wouldn't advocate such a move Though. Might hurt our chances to win this year.

    Good thing we are contending and can't trade veterans for useful prospects to build for the future.
  10. edavis0308
    Is anyone noticing the fact that there is no evidence that we have actually offered him a contract (he only mentions a hunch)? Sound familiar?
  11. edavis0308
    Wow that was a depressing read.
  12. edavis0308
    If he is able to stick or not at third is obviously up in the air, but that's a refreshing read to say the least.
  13. edavis0308
    25% strikeout rate? Man I didn't think he was THAT anemic on offense..
  14. edavis0308
    So Pelfrey is on track to pitch post injury for spring training and to be ready Opening Day? That blows my mind.

    No one is saying to stock your team with overpaid free agents. They are saying to have your home grown core supplanted with a free agent move here and there to fill weaknesses created by weaknesses in your farm system. We could use FA for league average starting pitching, and a short stop. They are a great need to this team and they wouldn't be blocking any position for a few years (where we would still have a hole at said positions).
  16. edavis0308
    I'm sorry, but a few posts earlier you stated "you're about results" but now you have a gut feeling that he is going to buck his trend of not showing results regarding free agency?
  17. edavis0308
    I don't know what else anyone can add to this. What haven't they done For 28 years? Pay free agents market value. What can they do moving forward to get more free agents to sign with them? Pay market value.
  18. edavis0308
    The only logical idea behind the whole free agency thing is either they literally will not pay market value for free agents.. or they really didn't like their chances as a team this year and opted to keep their money. Maybe when they have better pieces in place they will, but it'll be a few years before we can confirm or deny that theory. Then again, when this team had such a need to be supplanted with free agent arms And they still didn't, its easy to see the pessimist side of things that they flat out won't pay out the money need for a quality free agent arm. as far as other theories for free agents Signing, it can be lumped into three categories: money, chance to win, personal ties (family or beginning of career was there, play for a specific manager, etc). I highly doubt if someone likes a city to buy a vacation home there, or the weather, or if they have their favorite restaurant chain there will be any reasons to outweigh the previous top three. If the Twins want better free agents to come here, it really is that simple: Actually offer them a contract and don't low ball them.
  19. edavis0308
    Offering people market value of their worth, while not being in the twilight of their career, is a good starting point..because they dont now. Or just target guys from Minnesota so they Can play for their home team at a discount (oh wait a second....)
  20. edavis0308
    While being condescending towards others.
  21. edavis0308
    Those guys aren't good examples. You can only use Guys that have Minnesota on their list in this discussion to prove your point.
  22. edavis0308
    I'm sure we Will blow all offers out of the water, but he will ultimately sign in Tampa for warmer climate and 1/10 the money.
  23. edavis0308
    Hey its all good. Guys around here take notice when its reported when a guy signed that the Twins don't make an offer to. If this offseason is an indicator.. the overall results would blow your mind. They literally don't offer money to any healthy quality pitching.
  24. edavis0308
    Fixed.
  25. edavis0308
    Wait what?
