    Dozier's OPS RISP 2013 - .841 2014 - .727 2015 - .774 2016 - .856 2017 - .879 2018 - .676 Granted this year is terrible, but over his carrier he hasn't been. Sadly for this year that isn't far off from his overall numbers.

    I really hope all his walks are because he is actually working on something or some pitch. Not because he is wild or nit picks around the corners.

    My point on that is if Buxton and Sano are not really good next year, the Twins really have nothing next year. Rosario, Kepler and Polanco are the core. No 1B, 2B, or 3B and no real close prospects. Maybe Gordon and Rooker but the odds say no. Berrios, then you have 2 pitchers in the last year of their contract in Gibson and Jake. Then a bunch of young guys in Romero, Gonzo, Meija, etc... The next group of prospects are likely to start coming up in 2019 and hopefully are decent in 20, but really 21 should be more realistic. And I am sorry but if that is the case were the Twins are building for 2021 and beyond good luck filling target field.

    Not arguing, but interested in knowing for what year? If you are thinking 2020, I would trade everybody on the team. If you are thinking 2018, you trade for guys. If you are thinking 2019, Gibson and Dozier probably would need to stay, unless you plan on signing multiple big time free agents, which I am not sure are available.
  6. Tomj14
    I would trade Jake Odorizzi, Lance Lynn or Santana. Not ready to trade Gibson, but if the FO has given up on Sano and Buxton for next year then trade everybody not named Berrios.

    I was at the game as well, and everybody I was sitting around thought the Twins were challenging the out call at home and not blocking. Maybe the announcer should tell the fans what is being challenged. I loved Rodney being brought in, but some of the fans around me hated it. From behind the Twins dugout you could see Cash yelling at the Twins dugout but we really had no idea what was going on. I have to say Kiermaier's catch was Awesome! Also I never want to be at a game with 13 pitching changes again.

    Holy Cow Mike I hope nobody is expecting you to cover Dozier's salary next year at 17 million. But I always like the saying that no one year deal is bad. If Gordon was doing better at AAA I would say trade Dozier ASAP, but at this stage he doesn't look like he will be ready to take over in 2019. So I would be OK with a QO. The Twins were willing to pay Lynn almost that much this year and he was less of a certainty then Dozier is.
  9. Tomj14
    The free agent first basemen don't look so good for next year. Mauer, Matt Adams, Lucas Duda, Chris Carter, Pedro Alvarez
  10. Tomj14
    IMO, comparing Hicks and Buxton is not really fair, they are completely different type of hitters. I think Buxton is closer to GO GO than Hicks. (Hicks was criticized for not being aggressive at the plate, Buxton and Gomez are more free swingers?)
  11. Tomj14
    Are we as fans really ready to see Gordon? He has a worse OPS in AAA then guys we want cut in the majors? IMO he is a guy us fans are going to love to hate if he isn't really good.
  12. Tomj14
    maybe they thought the same thing and he was behind all of the other relief pitchers on the 40 man?
  13. Tomj14
    "Instead, it's actually proven to be their savviest move." Really? does it surprise anybody he leads the majors in blown saves?
  14. Tomj14
    Was there a reason Slegers was taken out? Only 72 pitches?
  15. Tomj14
    ESPN has NYY interested in Fulmer (Det), if he is actually available, that is somebody the Twins should be buying.
  16. Tomj14
    My two cents, you always trade somebody if the other team is over paying. Next year without Gibson in the rotation, the rotation looks like Berrios and a bunch of fingers crossed and pray for everything to work out. Meaning the Twins will be out looking for keeps fill ins as also. Even with Gibson the rotation looks like it could be weak. The FO needs to make a choice if this is core is what they want to build around (Berrios, Rosoario, Buxton, Sano, Kepler) or if they want to move onto the next core (Rooker, Gordon, Lewis, Kirilloff) and if it is the second choice, then sell everybody but Berrios because that group is looking at 20/21.
  17. Tomj14
    I think the solution is to get rid of at least 4 teams maybe 8, Minnesota being the first to go, No star player wants to come here thus making it impossible for them to actually compete in this NBA.
  18. Tomj14
    Rodney has blown 5 saves this year, which of course leads the major league (actually tied with two others) Of actual closers he has one of the worst or worst save percentage. Rodney is what he is, a veteran closer that is fairly consistent but not great. If Rodney is not traded this was a terrible free agent signing, it is that simple.
  19. Tomj14
    Why everybody hating on Rogers? Since april 30th his ERA is 2.7, and before this last game it was 2.1. He has been better than Reed or Pressly since then. Are we really expecting Curtiss and/or Van Steensel to be better than that?
  20. Tomj14
    The Twins are going to DFA the guy second on the team in Slugging and 4th in OPS and plays SS?
  21. Tomj14
    Yes/Sure, it means doing something to get more controllable talent. Which we don't have a much of if Buxton and/or Sano bust.
  22. Tomj14
    It seems the Twins philosophy is the keep them in the minors until the get Tommy John surgery thus reducing any trade value, then stick them on the 40 man and keep them in the minors. Rinse and Repeat. (yes, this is a post coming from a bitter place)
  23. Tomj14
    Maybe we could a prospect or two to sweeten the deal?
  24. Tomj14
    And if Kiriloff and Lewis end up like Buxton and Sano this year, Maybe the guys we draft next year will be the core of the next possible team. That is why it is to tough to be a buyer or seller this year. If we sell and Buxton and Sano never are stars they are at least a few years from hoping the next group will be the core, if they buy and Buxton and Sano never are the stars they are screwed going forward. IMO I believe we need to be a buyer and buyer of young and controller talent. That should mean everybody on the roster not named Berrios, Rosario, Buxton and Sano (unless someone makes a crazy offer) and everybody in the minors are available.
  25. Tomj14
    I would argue they can't because they are not be trained to, is there any evidence that limited pitches have caused less injuries?
