    Yes the Twins have to add him unless the Twins are going to DFA him too, which there's zero reason to do. Vargas has been DFA'd and Cave took his 40 man spot.

    Just added to the 40 man this November. https://twitter.com/mikeberardino/status/974734598818222082?s=21 Apparently the Twins asked for him in the Garcia trade, but they said no.

    I'm conflicted on this. I don't want more money in the owners pocket. I'd rather the players get it. But on the other hand, I have no idea how a guy like Mike Pelfrey should be getting 2/16 from the Tigers after three bad years in MN. A 1/4 contract, sure. He's probably worth 1/4, but 2/16 seemed ridiculous then and it still does now. Can we give Pelfrey 4M and the other 12M to a better player? That's what I think should happen. I don't want it back in the owners pocket, but it doesn't feel like it belongs in Pelfrey's pocket either. Give it to Fulmer who was good and making the league minimum.

    The issue is that two of us have looked and the article doesn't appear to exist at all. I can google LaVelle and Terry Ryan and pull up articles involving the two all the way back to 2015, but one supposedly from 2017 can't be found is very odd. Could I talk to LaVelle, sure, but you're the one making this claim. It's actually your job to prove it, not ours. That's just how it goes. Not attacking you by the way. I read every free Twins article out there daily and always have. I don't remember anyone ever saying that. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, which is why I'd like to read the article if it does exist. Maybe I've just forgotten this piece of information. Am I so desperate that I'm going to contact LaVelle for such a thing? No, and because of that and the fact that I and another person can't find it leads me to believe that it doesn't exist. That can easily be changed if you can provide a link to it. If you don't want to, it's not like you have to. I just won't believe it until that happens.

    I was interested too so I started googling. Are you sure it was LaVelle? I see this from Souhan: http://www.startribune.com/new-twins-regime-can-only-take-so-much-credit-for-2017-success/434397623/ And this from Sid: http://www.startribune.com/twins-foundation-was-laid-by-terry-ryan/444565183/ Can't find one from LaVelle and I don't see any words in the above where it specifically says Ryan was in charge of the IFA.

    We also have to remember that Lynn was taking part in the FA spring training camp too, so he may not be far behind at all. He threw 41 pitches today. I can't remember where the other guys are at but that doesn't seem that far behind. Maybe a week behind. I think Hughes was in the 50s for pitches the other day. Last I saw they think Lynn will pitch on 04/02 or 04/04 as his first regular season start. Looking up stats, it does look like it's Hughes vs Duffey for the fifth spot. I'm guessing Hughes pretty much has it already
  7. Twins33
    Slegers was optioned too, unless you didn't mean "a guy like Slegers" literally. Speaking of the fifth spot though, who is left fighting with Hughes for that spot? I honestly can't think of anyone left except maybe Duffey who I've heard zip about so far. I think everyone else who was has been sent down already unless I'm forgetting someone.
  8. Twins33
    I remember during the Dozier rumors that anytime a Twins fan would question JDL or any other Dodger prospects small amount of IP per season the Dodgers fans would reply that they don't allow any of their SP prospects to pitch deep into games routinely. So some kind of Dodger development plan? I don't know. I never checked to back this up. Just looked at Brock Stewart, in the two seasons before his MLB callup he averaged less than six innings and it's not because he was pitching badly...based on the stats. So maybe true about the Dodgers? I'm not going to go through all their prospects to find out. Plus injuries etc may skew the numbers and be even more work to weed out.
  9. Twins33
    Injury is to his throwing hand so hopefully that's the problem but I do see Polanco at SS over Gordon regardless.
  10. Twins33
    Wondering if this means they won't do any skipping now? Doesn't seem to be set in stone yet though.
  11. Twins33
    I'm not all that surprised. I'd be surprised if he wasn't on some kind of 150 IP limit this year. As far as timeline goes, not talent, Mejia, Gonsalves, Jorge, Littell (also sent to AA) and Slegers are all ahead of him. I feel like I'm missing someone... And if Duffey is optioned to be a starter he'd be in AAA too.

    "Sano, who is 6-foot-4, weighed 290 pounds when diagnosed with the stress reaction."http://www.startribune.com/despite-investigation-miguel-sano-will-report-to-twins-camp-on-time/473965643/ So that was in August and I think there was an article that said he was at that weight in the exit physical though google isn't finding that. Just figured I'd help the convo with a quote.
  13. Twins33
    I'll say 91. Usually the Twins do well when I predict a bad outcome and suck when I predict a good outcome. Hopefully this breaks that pattern.
  14. Twins33
    Mostly agree, but my biggest worry with Rodney is and always has been the amount of walks he gives up. Kintzler didn't do that. I loved watching Rodney blow it or nearly blow it in a lot of outings. He walks that line in the majority of his outings. Now I have to worry he'll do it on our team.
  15. Twins33
    Yeah, that definitely would have made more sense.
  16. Twins33
    If he's not any good this year he'll probably be gone and it'll be Gonsalves time for a full year. Does that help?
  17. Twins33
    He's 29. Throws left, bats right. Don't know anything about his defense except that he can supposedly play all three OF positions according to an article posted last night/this morning. Based on his minor league track record and his small sample size of MLB track record he's not a bat guy. Tinkers with his swing a lot but is trying not to do that anymore. Here's an article about him: http://www.startribune.com/twins-outfield-prospect-ryan-lamarre-tries-to-keep-it-simple-in-a-complex-game/476193873/
  18. Twins33
    I'm not sure I'd want them to go more than 3/50 for him. The drop off between him and Gordon will probably be huge, but it might be necessary. The dollar amount being more would be ok with me, but the years are something I hope they don't get too crazy on. If that's not good enough, then QO him and see what happens.

  20. Twins33
    Yep, that was the case. "According to a report from FOX’s Ken Rosenthal, the Twins offered more money to Napoli than the Rangers, but he chose to sign in Texas, in part because they’re viewed as more likely to contend this season." http://www.1500espn.com/twins-2/2017/02/report-twins-offered-mike-napoli-money-signed-rangers/
  21. Twins33
    If Gibson/Mejia/Hughes/Sanchez or whoever is struggling I personally wouldn't have a problem going with Slegers or Gonsalves as soon as mid to late May.
  22. Twins33
    Granite will be a phone call away if something happens to Buxton. It'll put them in a bind for the game he gets hurt in, but Granite would then be up if it's significant time lost.
  23. Twins33
    I love this signing and believe in the swing change that was made. Dozier and Josh Donaldson and probably even more players have done this and it's completely changed their career. I expect another 30 HR season out of him and I hope I'm right. More would be great too..
  24. Twins33
    Yeah I read that last night. Was good.
  25. Twins33
    Sano's face looked noticeably bigger in the main pic on the startrib article, but in the video he doesn't look much bigger than last year so maybe it's just the angle or he just gained 10 pounds in the face. He was 290 when diagnosed with the stress fracture last year per another article written about a week ago. I know he wasn't destined for 3B for much longer but I was hoping another 2-3 years at 260 lbs or so would be possible.
