    This team probably would have beat Tampa and Denver had Chandler been the lead back. Might have beaten the Eagles too.
  2. nicksaviking
    Yeah. He which means he hasn't been throwing easily intercepted passes at will, like the last two QBs.
  3. nicksaviking
    DON'T worry about running out the clock. The Bengals are getting the ball back with plenty of time. Score quick actually so there's time left for the Vikings to re-score.
  4. nicksaviking
    Mullins is as careless with the football as he was in SF. Has to be Hall next game.

    Too bad, the Twins would have won the AL Central every season from when it was organized in 1994 to 2001 and again from 2004 to 2014.
  6. nicksaviking
    Maybe if every team is under .500. At which point, I wouldn't care who won the AL Central.
  7. nicksaviking
    I mean, can the Pirates be considered anyone's enemy? To me they seem more like someone's annoying little brother.
  8. nicksaviking
    OK, I want to play. Here's a 'super group' but they actually had a few I remember, including this absolute bonkers video about......a dad getting abducted by aliens? Maybe?
  9. nicksaviking
    Seems like that means Kepler and one of Polanco or Farmer. Not sure you do both infielders. Or at least you don't plan on doing both infielders.

    I remember the song, but wow, for all the 80's videos I binged on, I don't remember that one. Funny how most of those 1980's 'super groups' made up of members from more famous bands ended up being one hit wonders.

    Only one 2x WS winner the last decade. MLB is not accustomed to that.
  12. nicksaviking
    If the Twins offer was all a façade, seems like they would have pulled it off the table once he came crawling back.
  13. nicksaviking
    Winokur was only a third round pick five months ago and a HS one at that, which means 'too raw'. Whether it's fair or not (it's not) draft equity is going to play a huge role in pundits rankings right out of the gate. If he crushes it this year, he could be the crown jewel of the Twins prospect lists, but he likely was never going to be any higher than he's listed now.
  14. nicksaviking
    Yes, but his second half swoon wasn't just isolated to this season. He did the same thing in 2022. And I'm not trying to crush him, if the Twins hold on to him, I'm more than happy to plug him into the rotation until he hits free agency. I just think there's a chance to upgrade.
  15. nicksaviking
    I've seen enough of Ryan to not trust him in the postseason, but this is all fair. But again, my proposal was to use Ryan to get Luzardo or Garrett. I'd use Lee (crowd boos heavily) to get a Mariner pitcher.
  16. nicksaviking
    Ober and Ryan are the same age as Lopez (Ober is actually the oldest). And they've been here longer, so if the Twins have a special knack for this maturation, they should have had a head start on him. Luzardo and Garrett are two years younger.
  17. nicksaviking
    I haven't heard that. They were only at 93M last year and made the playoffs. Not saying it's not true, but that's news to me. Luzardo would get more than Ryan and Ober, but the Twins themselves could get a haul if they traded either of them. Not that I have any interest in doing so for anything other than a top end starter. I don't think the difference between them is a Lee or Lewis.
  18. nicksaviking
    I like them both, but I think we've seen them at their best. I think Kirby is significantly better than them, Gilbert is comfortably ahead of them and Woo is about to be better than everyone mentioned. And if I'm honest, I think Ryan is going to have a HR problem the rest of his career. The Twins fleeced the Rays in that trade, but if I can upgrade him now before he gets the rep of a back of the rotation guy long term, I'd do it. I could see everyone looking back on Ober later and thinking he was criminally underrated though.
  19. nicksaviking
    How off am I? Ryan/Ober + Kepler + Vazquez and eat half his salary (as noted, they need catching) + mid level prospect for Luzardo? Then save Polanco + Lee + Festa for one of the Mariners young pitchers. Assuming Vazquez's remaining salary and Luzardo's arb salary are in the same ballpark, the Twins would have 35-40M left in salary to get a new backup catcher and fill in the offense in which ever way they see fit.
  20. nicksaviking
    Probably defer to Pablo Lopez for that one. I'd guess he'd get a consulting phone call if the Twins decide to deal with the Marlins again. And also, I'd happily take Garrett. If neither of those two, I'd hound the Mariners. I'm with you, the other Marlins pitchers would only be consolation prizes. Presuming Perez is off limits all together.
  21. nicksaviking
    Usually our trades involve Kepler/Polonco and the prospects, but if the Twins are trading for a top end pitcher, I think another consideration should be using Ryan/Ober as pieces as well. I like Ryan and Ober, but I don't want to add more pitchers in that range, I want an upgrade and would be willing to use one of those two to get one. Of course in doing so, it would lessen the burden inflected on the Marlins for losing one of their top guys.
  22. nicksaviking
    I like some of the other Marlin and Mariner pitchers with more control, but three years is still better than this team normally does. I'd probably meet a non-offensive asking price for Luzardo. And I'm not easily offended.
  23. nicksaviking
    Yeah, the guy who gave up more is now in the Coach of the Year conversation. Gross.
  24. nicksaviking
    OK, a bit off topic, but Schefter is maybe the worst of the worst modern "reporter". Everyone knows he doesn't care about accuracy or him being a willing propaganda machine for whomever will feed him BS intel, but come one, could he find a more unflattering photo of Staley for this report? I mean, the guy was a bad coach, but that doesn't mean he was a bad guy. This looks like the cover of some slanderous grocery store tabloid.
  25. nicksaviking
    I bet Flores gets interviews, but I don't see the Chargers going back to the defensive side of the ball for a HC after this last hire. With a stud young QB, I'd put money on them going the upstart offensive mind route. If I was Houston, I'd be sweating being able to keep Bobby Slowik longer than a single season. CJ Stroud could be doing this all on his own, but NFL GMs will always hope it's a genius coordinator pulling the strings.
