    There are two parts to the Buxton discussion. 1. What will he be worth on the open market? Answer: Significantly more than the Twins are offering (and they would have to be HIGHER than other clubs because they have done nothing to ingratiate themselves to him). Again... this is not if YOUR AGREE with what he will get on the open market... just what HE WILL get on the open market. He is not going to take incentive based contract when someone will give him guaranteed money. Using Hicks contract as a starting point for guaranteed money is BAT #$%& Crazy! 2. Should they offer him market value? Answer: Now THIS is where the discussion lies. Good arguments to be made on both sides.... personally, I would give him a 5 year 125 million contract (that would at least be an offer that would show the Twins are doing something other than PR damage control). I think his likely WAR justifies it even if he only plays 100-110 game a year. But, I completely get the counter argument. We can all agree High Risk/High Reward. In summary, the Twins are clearly not offering market value and they know it But, IF they should offer market value is a very fair discussion.

    80 million over 7 years guaranteed is laughable. He will get waaaaaaaaaay more on the open market. The Twins know it... clearly a face saving PR stunt offer. Yaaaaaawn.....this situation is tired. Wake me up when a trade happens

    It never ceases to amaze me that people still believe that Buxton may stay with the Twins. The writing has been on the wall for at least 6 months and to me for 12-18 months. He has been pissed at the Twins for service time manipulation and mixed messages for hitting instruction during his development for years now. He is going to free agency and he is going to get paid and the Twins are going to lose any bidding war. Time to pull head out of sand and get maximum trade value. This is all tired PR spin on the Twins part (We tried soooooooooo much); but clearly this still works on a lot of people so I guess I can't blame the Twins for deploying such a tired strategy.

    Free Miranda! Free Moran!
  5. D.C Twins
    Adding two AAA ready replacement pitchers would be consistent with a strategy to trade Pineda and Barrios (Sorry....nobody wants Happ...He will eat innings here the rest of the year

    The "Be Interesting" headline juxtaposed with Rocco's picture made me laugh out loud!!! Thank you Ted!
  7. D.C Twins
    Free Miranda!
  8. D.C Twins
    I've been ringing the Moran bell for awhile now.... On this list, he is my first, second and third choice
  9. D.C Twins
    Free Miranda!
  10. D.C Twins
    The are the St. Paul Mirandas for me right now.... that is why I click on their box scores
  11. D.C Twins
    The Kid.... I mean 'Zeus'... has confidence and charisma for days. He seems to have mastered the extreme confidence without crossing over into arrogance which is not easy. Seems level headed with good priorities and perspective. I'm impressed....which of course means nothing... but I'm impressed
  12. D.C Twins
    Have to trade Donaldson to open up room for Miranda!
  13. D.C Twins
    We need to trade Donaldson just to clear room for Miranda....seriously. When does Moran get a look? What more does he need to do?
  14. D.C Twins
    Whatever team Cruz goes to, I'm rooting for them in playoffs....unless it is New York of course
  15. D.C Twins
    Only relevant information to come out of this game: Pineda unlikely to have an trade value at the deadline
  16. D.C Twins
    Miguel "Golden Sombrero" Sano, Nelson "Nitro-boosting-outta-this-clown-car-to-a-contending-club" Cruz and Rocco "Remind-me-where-the-leadership-section-is-in-my-binder" Baldelli all being their best selves in yet another game!
  17. D.C Twins
    Quite simply.... Miranda has made this season bearable single handed.
  18. D.C Twins
    Um,...Buyers?!?! ah....no...just no.....you silly
  19. D.C Twins
    Well earned (and then some) Miranda!!! We'll need you in the near future in Minneapolis to help try to prop the window back open...

    Buck does not want to stay here. Not only was he pissed about service time manipulation, he was also fed up with his hitting 'instruction' from the club. Remember when he was asked last year about his hitting improvement and he answered that he stopped listening to team instruction and just went with his own ideas?! Does that sound like someone who has bought into the organization or was perhaps frustrated with mixed messages/hitting strategy?! Given our hitting coaches currently, do you blame him? I hate to break it to everyone (again) but he is GONE....the only question now is what we choose to get for him (or just stick our heads in the sand and eventually lose him for nothing
  21. D.C Twins
    Sano as a "designated hitter" made me throw up a little bit in my mouth....not as much as "pinch hitter" but still a little bit
  22. D.C Twins
    Hey! What about me?! Yours Truly, Julian
  23. D.C Twins
    Free Miranda!
  24. D.C Twins
    Dear Twins FO, I was just looking for a little clarity about what your expectations are for earning a promotion. An OPS OF 948 and a BB/K ratio of 15/20 over a 167 AB sample size seems pretty good to me, especially looking at the rest of the organization. Let's get this party started! Yours Truly, Jose Miranda
  25. D.C Twins
    Nope, that is not even remotely realistic
