    Maybe Johan Santana's shoulder has recovered.

    Was reading the words of Solomon this morning, the end of Ecclesiastes Chapter 5: "Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life." So on Thanksgiving, eat, drink and be merry, enjoy those who are around you and give thanks. Thanks to everybody here for a great forum for all things Twins. You know, God foretold us about baseball in the Bible. It all starts with, " In the big inning . . . " ( you have to say it, not read it). Have a great Thanksgiving everybody. ?

    The only closer I would pick over Nathan is Mariano and his freakin' cut-fastball buzzsaw.

    Is that Bondzo's final season line?

    If David Ortiz doesn't make the Hall of Fame then the Hall of Fame isn't really worth much anymore.

    I guess signing Cave means we're "Caving".

    Had Vic Power on my paper route in Minneapolis when I was a kid. Mrs. Power always handled collections. I always made sure there were no rips or tears and all inserts were there. I was bummed when they moved away. ?

    Who would you rather have, Jake Cave or Clint Frazier?

    That starting rotation is looking a little bleak.

    Another Tampa Bay shortstop that could be available is Taylor Walls.

    Don't forget our AA shortstop Jermaine Palacios who is currently smacking the ball around for Lara in the Venezuelan Winter League. Looks like he's getting reps at SS, 3B & LF. Interesting.
  12. AceWrigley
    My hunch is he gets a spring training invite and if he shows well, we'll probably see him in a Twins uniform at some point in 2022.

    I believe Whitefield signed a minor league deal with the Angels last week.
  14. AceWrigley
    In the perfect condition of 3 sets of 3 pitchers and 9 inning games, each pitcher appears in 54 games and pitches 162 innings and all could qualify for league leaders. Interesting symmetry.

    The Rays GM Erik Neander's take on Jermaine Palacios when they acquired him from the Twins in 2018: “This is somebody that, by our own work and by our own information, what we see here is a lean, wiry Venezuelan shortstop who has had plenty of offensive success ... He’s someone we think has some offensive upside. He can play shortstop and play it well. All reports on the makeup are very positive. This is someone we think can grow into more physical strength ... might have another gear up from here. You look at what he’s accomplished to date on the field, combined with the tool set, along with the makeup, we think that this is a really exciting player to add to our system.” Not sure if the Twins view him as a Major League piece, but I've read worse player reviews and it was his struggles with the bat in the Rays organization that led him back to being with the Twins. He hit pretty good at AA last year. Possible Twins SS for 2022?

    Mets make qualifying offer to Thor.

    Agreed. As fans we want who we want and don't have the time or inclination to figure the math. The kicker to trying to do outside analysis is "real" team value and the fact that some of the owners are ludicrous wealthy and really could spend as much as they wanted to if they wanted to. Kudos to the guys over at MLB Trade Rumors as they really do a good job when they deep dive player and trade values and costs. Also, we don't always know if a team covets certain players that might add a premium to their spending targets. 2021 opening day payrolls: The Dodgers at ≈ $235 mil were six and a half times more than the Pirates at ≈ $36 mil. The Twins at ≈ $121 mil were a hair above the MLB average of ≈ $120 mil. It makes a difference. Let the rotometrics begin!

    Thor sure would look good in Twin's garb.
  19. AceWrigley
    I'm not trying to prove anything, they're just a couple of sources of info about the finances of baseball that anyone can try to decipher. Maybe the only thing we can conclude is that it's hard to tell how much a team is willing to spend unless you're the one doing the spending.

    and . . . he looks good in powder blue. ?

    Ohhhhh, a Mickey Hatcher sighting. One of the great pranksters of all time. Don't let your pants out of your sight and keep an eye on your shoes. ?
  24. AceWrigley
    Gimme the power baby.

    It's interesting that Gray has pitched more effectively at home than on the road, even with a PPF (Pitchers Park Factor) of about 116 (inflates hitting) for Coors Field over his career. I would have thought his away stats would be better. Not a deal breaker but something to consider when considering how he would pitch with Target Field as his home.
