    I thought the same thing initially. Why so much angst about an existing, and known, injury? I suppose that if you're talking 13 year contracts versus 3, that's a much different story. It's also possible that the condition of the injury got worse this past season and now is a bigger concern.

    I had the same thought about where the Twins stood on the condition of the injury. It's also possible that it worsened over the course of last season and now seems more suspect than it did last offseason.

    Walk away. Just walk away. If the big market teams are shying away from a long term deal, then this team most certainly should. The disclaimer there is if they can get the term down to a more manageable length where the ankle issue isn't likely to be as big of a question mark. And this team already has first hand knowledge of how it holds up over a season.

    I've seen this episode before...

    It's like deja vu all over again!

    I guess that I need to update my post from @Nick Nelson's Coping with Correa Signing thread to include "It works for when they sign the completely wrong free agent". I'm with @Brock Beauchamp, this signing makes no sense.

    I wondered where I was going to get my prodigious strike out pace fix this season with Sano gone...

    There has to some realism in these offseason approaches by the FO. If they're not going to be serious about going after a top tier free agent, then they need forget about those and pursue the next tier down and do it more aggressively. Going after a top tier FA half-assed while allowing lower tier players to sign elsewhere in the process is not the way to conduct an offseason. If they're going to go after a top tier FA, then they need to do it seriously. Otherwise, don't pursue them at all and get more of the less flashy names to fill out a roster. This team is much further away from competing than a Correa. Coming up empty and/or needing to trade for guys to fill the roster holes isn't a sustainable approach.

    I was going to say that I doubted it would even need to be free, but free beer would certainly have a greater impact that not free beer even if it were cheaper than it currently is.

    Nor would they even notice that he was gone.

    I'm coping, I have Scotch! It's a multi-purpose solution. It works when they're losing. It works when they're winning. It works when they sign the free agent of choice. It works when they don't sign the free agent of choice. It's also applicable to the draft!

    Only if I can frontload the deal to make sure that I'm getting paid for their prime display years before they accumulate dust and added risk of breakage.

    $500 and it's all yours if I win it! ?

    They don't need a SS that badly anyway...

    That is quite the collection! The winner better have a buddy with to help carry it!

    Beer... that's usually served "up", correct? Rocks are frowned upon?
  18. wsnydes
    See, you have competition from not just one but TWO glorious franchises desiring my clients services! Pay me us my guy more and he'll surely sign with you!
  19. wsnydes
    Yes. emmm, yes. ermmmm, yeah.

    I agree with that. And I also agree that sometimes we forget that.
  24. wsnydes
    Agreed, but some basic fundamentals shouldn't need to be taught in the minors though either. They're fundamentals. You learn that stuff in little league. That said, there were times were you have guys that haven't played the outfield before manning the outfield. There are positional fundamentals too and if you've never played that position before (or not very often anyway), it's unreasonable to expect them to be well versed in them. I don't think the game is taught the same way anymore anyway, so all of this is somewhat moot.
  25. wsnydes
    I tend to agree on the fundamentals part. It's pretty discouraging. I would like to point out there have been a few players that have been brought up over the last couple of seasons that were called up earlier than they should have been out of necessity due to injuries. They clearly weren't ready, but it is frustrating that the fundamentals were still lacking. They're called fundamentals for a reason.
