    It is indeed possible that Sano may not be a good OF. But not because of his height and weight. We will know his height and weight at ST physicals, but that is still premature for judgement.. The appropriate time to judge his OF ability is when he has played OF, not before!

    That size? Anthony Barr 6-5 255, Kyle Rudolph 6-6 265, Antonio Gates 6-4 255 and 35-YEARS-OLD. WTF is Sano required to do in the OF that requires more quickness than those guys? I played baseball pretty well, but lacked the athleticism for football. Tell me that there aren't 50 guys that size in NFL and NCAA football that couldn't play MLB OF because they aren't quick enough. Whitch requires more quickness? Catch a fly-ball? or tackle Adrian Peterson? Tell me Anthony Barr is too big, and therefore not quick enough to play MLB outfield. That is laughable.

    Sano weighed 232# last winter. If he has added 38# of muscle in 11 months, he may have discovered the Mark McGuire milk-shake recipe. I prefer to think that it's not ALL muscle.

    Sorry, you were smarter and faster than I.

    Offer him a minor league contract. If he takes it, GREAT! If he goes elsewhere, also GREAT!

    Ryan is honest, but a loyal employee does not blame his bosses for his issues with payroll and resulting wins and losses.

    d dieting and that can be maintain during the season and watch the results.

    Love and Bazz changed their physiques during the OFFSEASON. Sano injured his knee and played DH-only when he gained his weight. He probably had little capability to get aerobic exercise. Put Sano on a program between now and ST, with conditioning an

    "but 10% of your 40 man roster including Pat Dean?" MY POINT was "So 10% of the roster there for protection only is not abnormal" It may not be a good thing, but is NOT ABNORMAL for most MLB teams.
  10. sane09
    The 40-man roster on Opening Day 2015 contained Jason Wheeler, Logan Darnell, Lester Oliveras, Stephen Pryor, Jorge Polanco and JR Graham. That is 15% of the 40-man roster who were there: 1) for protection only (Graham) 2) called up when rosters expanded (Darnell) 3) UNEXPECTEDLY had to be called up due to injuries (Polanco) 4) Never reached MLB (Wheeler, Pryor, Oliveros) So 10% of the roster there for protection only is not abnormal.

    We protected them, so that if they develop NEXT season, they won't be playing for someone else.

    On the other hand, regarding ARBITRATION: At the end of the season, if a player is eligible for arbitration, the team has a certain window with which to offer arbitration to that player. Offering arbitration doesn’t necessarily mean the two sides will go before the arbitrator. It simply means the team is interested in retaining the player’s services. A good amount of times, the team and player continue to negotiate before the hearing and settle on a contract....from http://viewfromthebleachers.com/blog/2007/12/01/mlb-arbitration-explained/

    •Once a team makes a qualifying offer, the player has two choices: he can accept the one-year deal or decline in search of other offers. If he declines the offer and signs elsewhere, his new team will have to surrender a top draft pick ...October, 2015 explanation from: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/explaining-the-qualifying-offer-system.html

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/explaining-the-qualifying-offer-system.html I don't believe it's the same as offering arbitration.

    Isn't this thread about tendering Casey Fien?
  17. sane09
    Actually, I was talking about Fien, who WAS tendered.
  18. sane09
    or from MLB?
  19. sane09
    If a player declines a tender from team#1; becomes a FA and signs with team#2, does team#1 still get draft-day compensation from team#2?
  20. sane09
    If Buxton is full of confidence with his hitting at that time, Sano in LF, Buxton in CF and Rosario in RF. If not, "Come on down, let's make a deal!".
  21. sane09
    If the Twins need to "DFA someone to make room", who's it gonna be? Logan Darnell? Pat Dean? JR Graham?
  22. sane09
    In BOTH BA 2014 and 2015 Prospect Reports, Sano is listed at 6'3" 232#. He missed playing in 2014, and started late in 2015. If he reports to ST at 6'4" 275#, we have a problem at 3B AND OF!
  23. sane09
    Good question which I can't answer. I wonder what his weight was, when he played 3B regularly at AA. I think what they REALLY mean is "It's POSSIBLE that Sano can play OF as well as the other fat kids".
  24. sane09
    I think DH'ing-only contributed to his weight gain before the injury; then MAY HAVE contributed to the injury; which then contributed to his weight gain after the injury. I think that I just confused myself.
  25. sane09
    Sano ended the season as a DH with a leg injury which prevented him from running, (conditioning or otherwise)or even playing any defense. Not a good weight maintenance situation. The reason I used Arcia as a comparison is: 1) His height and weight were from the same source as Sano's height and weight and 2)Arcia is one of the other choices as a starting OF if Sano doesn't switch to OF.
