    You humble me, good sir.

    Hopefully the $1.5 million is $1 million to get rid of the invisible bow and arrow, and the other $500k is to turn his hat straight. That'd be worth it.

    That OPS is good enough is he's elite defensively. The numbers I've seen from last year indicate it wasn't. Good isn't below average offense and average (at best) defense.
  4. jud6312
    Well, Castro didn't hit, and if I looked at the right websites, his defense - including his famed pitch framing - was pretty average. So, if those numbers were right, I wouldn't chalk that one up to much success.
  5. jud6312
    Arizona was close enough for my liking.

    It's more about what the other "good" teams in the AL are doing to improve their rosters than it is about what the Twins are or aren't doing. On paper, the Yankees got better, the Angels got better, Houston is still good, Cleveland's still good, and Boston is bound to make a counter move to Stanton ... the Twins got a soon-to-be 41-year-old who's been average the last two seasons and was pummeled the last time he was in the AL. The Wonder twins better start activating their powers pretty soon.

    That was me and Burdi very well could be. But a 26-year-old with straight gas and no idea of how to control it in his year 26 season is most definitely Hoey reincarnate.
  8. jud6312
    I'm more concerned with the 5.5 BB/9 last year in AA as a 26-year-old. Doesn't matter if you hit 100 or have the best slider in a dumpster fire of an organization if your BB rates increase every year.

    Looking at Kinley's numbers above A+ would say that you're probably right in valuing Bard over Kinley. Aside from Ks, everything else looks really, really rough.
  10. jud6312
    Wow, color me underwhelmed. Kinley's numbers look like absolute garbage above A+. I understand not protecting Bard, but losing Burdi and drafting what appears to be Jim Hoey 2.0 is just asinine.
  11. jud6312
    Honestly, the first and only thing I could think of that they had in common is their consumption of oxygen. I'm not at all high on Slegers ... or pretty much any Big 10 Pitchers of the Year.
  12. jud6312
    I hope they're in on Darvish, but won't be heartbroken if they're not. Lots of money and years for a 31-year-old with some past arm issues. I'd love him to be here, but something about him makes me a bit uneasy. I'd really like them to chase Cobb, but the Cubs' interest probably drives the cost up above where it belongs. And, even if the Twins are able to offer apples to apples in terms of years and dollars, the Cubs are probably a bit closer to winning again. I imagine if all other things are equal, that might be a pretty good tie-breaker. The prospect haul required for Archer might be a bit hard to swallow. Honestly, I think I'd prefer Cole to Archer - 2 years younger, comparable (if not better) career numbers, same number of years before FA, and likely a bit more reasonable in cost to acquire. I have zero interest in another Rule 5 pick-up. They have enough young guys of their own that could be treated as an in-house Rule 5 guy. Sign a veteran or two and let the young guys battle it out. Maybe look at a guy or two that's available and if they're not selected, trade for them.
  13. jud6312
    I'm not as worried about them over the long haul as I was, but what exactly have they done so far this offseason that earns them a "great"?
  14. jud6312
    How did I miss that 'Lil Gardy got promoted? He must really get after it as a coach.
  15. jud6312
    I just don't understand how a guy with a 3.90 ERA, 0 Cy Youngs, and virtually none of the "milestone" numbers gets in. Congrats, I guess, but I just don't see it. And, yes, I remember '91. But this postseason "domination" that everyone remembers so fondly? 7-4 with a 3.80 ERA.
  16. jud6312
    Well, it was a nice pipe dream to have for a few weeks. Now let's settle back into reality and overpay for Mike Fiers and Chi Chi Gonzalez.
  17. jud6312
    Big Sexy, Perk, whoever was the 3rd lefty out of the Indians pen in 2013, and a Rule 5 middle infielder.
  18. jud6312
    I think some of these could come back to bite them. Wow. There's really not enough fat on the roster to add a couple more of those guys?
  19. jud6312
    It is about frequency ... and in PT duty the last couple of years his frequency's been pretty darn good. I'd really like to see him get a legitimate shot at FT, or at least close to it, duty. If he were to put up his 162-game average over the course of a season, I'd be ecstatic.
  20. jud6312
    I think that's what he was trying to say, but in reality one sent a team to the World Series and this is pretty much game 163 with a fancier logo.
  21. jud6312
    Also, this whole "Marney doing 9 things" shtick is stupid.
  22. jud6312
    Did Richard really just say that the Twins winning a 1-game play-in game is just as big as the '87 ALCS?
  23. jud6312
    I was right there with you in hoping this tenure would be over. I mean, maybe since he hasn't pitched in September he's doing little more than collecting a check. I'd rather he did that off of the 40, but it is what it is.
  24. jud6312
    Never mind, Turley might be able to hold them off a little.
  25. jud6312
    Not so fast ... I'm guessing Perkins gets the 9th.
