Big fan of Haniger! If Schwarber and his whiffle bat are worth 4/$79, Mitch is worth more than 3/$39. Twins have the flexibility to offer him a lucrative contract with incentives to bring him to $20 per. When healthy, he is worth every penny of that and fills a much needed hole on the roster.

Milwaukee needs bats and will deal a SP this off season. They have holes all over the diamond! Gio, Martin and Ober for Woodruff. Brewers fill 2 holes on the diamond and get a decent #5 SP. Be aggressive with Toronto to get a C from them. We have Jeffers, who has proved nothing besides that he is injury prone.

Can Catcher Be Where the Twins Find Offense?
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Offer Contreras 4/$100 with a 5th year that guarantees based on games played. We have the money and a gaping hole at the position. He can give us 100 games at C and another 30+ at DH- 21 replies

Twins Trade Candidate: Gio Urshela
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
We need more professional bats, not fewer. Miranda can play 3B, but look at this past season of injuries. Between DH, 1B, 3B and rest, we need 4 legit bats. At this point we can not count on Alex, he needs to prove he can stay healthy before penciling him in on a regular basis. If Gio becomes not needed, we can ways deal him down the stretch, he'd be a great addition to a team down the stretch- 35 replies

Review the Debuts: Twins Rookie Pitchers
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
It has taken a few years, but we finally have some plus SP options heading into next year. Ryan, Mahle, Ober, SWR, Varland(Google wants to change to Verlander), Gray, Paddock, Winder, Maeda, and Sands. Thankfully no Bundy or Archer next year! As for the OP, I am most excited to see what SWR can do next year.- 31 replies

Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
He has been sold at SS this year, but he is a step below Turner and Bogarts IMO. He isn't getting 10 years at his age from anyone! 6-8 years at $30 is more than fair for what he produced -
Would like to see the FO attempt to extend him 3-4 years. He is one a good professional bat and you can never have enough. Would 3 yr $30m get it down?

Minnesota’s Other Breakout Pitching Prospect
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
The kid has a chance! He has the K numbers needed to be a SP in the bigs -
Laweryson has been the best SP in the system the last 5-6 weeks. His AA stats are straight up ace material! Anyone have any info on what his repertoire is?

Twins Acquire Tyler Mahle from Reds
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Steer and CES had no positions for a few years. Long run, CES might only be a DH/1B in the big. We have lost some SP talent in the minors today, time to reload in the FA signing period -
Twins Acquire Orioles Closer Jorge Lopez
HrbieFan replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
2 of the guys given up are lottery tickets and 3+ years away at best. Cano hasn't handled the bigs very well this year, but he has some talent. Well worth the gamble IMO. We could have traded Blaze and Enlow a few years ago for a dang good arm, prospects are ammo until they prove otherwise- 114 replies

Did the Twins Plan to Fail this Offseason?
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Another click bait article by Ted. Dude must be a MN native with his negativity. Should just leave it alone, but I hate the negative nellies, especially writers. Twins went after the As pitchers, but didn't want to give up or didn't have the prospects to match. They went after multiple SPs in FA, but were outbid. They gained flexibility by trading Donaldson and didn't sit on the money. Who are they trading to get Castillo or Montas? We don't have the arms in our minors, unless you dip into A ball.- 27 replies

Get to Know Twins Draft Pick Connor Prielipp
HrbieFan replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Watched him play quite a few times as a teenager against teams from my area. He was a man amongst boys then. He comes from a good family and has worked hard to get healthy again. Kid could move fast, but I'm sure the Twins will use kid gloves with -

Post Draft: Who's the Twins' Top Pitching Prospect?
HrbieFan replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Blaz has dropped way down, no way he is top 5, he looks lost on the field. Canterino has never been healthy, save his arm and bring him to the big as a RP. I'd add Headrick into the top 5 competition, he has been dynamite this year- 31 replies
