    Cron has the inside track for sure. He has cost 1.2 mil already and he is one of the FO's headline moves of the off season. Right along with Schoop behind Cruz. To me the FO does not look good at all if he is cut out of camp.

    24 more guys like Willians and we'd be popping champaigne bottles in October. I have no doubt. What he adds to chemistry cannot be measured.
  3. sweetmusicviola16
    Willians Astudillo should be on the team that goes north at the end of March. No doubt in my mind, he proved so last season. I don't care what Cron is getting paid or the loss of a mil if he doesn't make the team. Or that Austin is out of options. Willians makes the team better. Period.

    If Berrios would agree to either deal, I prefer option 2 from the teams standpoint, do it now. This is just under a 9M AAV. If he does put up a season like Nova or Severino that AAV would likely go to 12M AAV. Even if all he is is the Berrios of 17 and 18 then 9M is still a good deal for the team. There are some pretty bad SP who are making 8-10M. While they are at it get Gibson extended for 3/30. Again, some pretty bad SP who are making 10M per year. I would be OK with signing Odorizzi to a similar 3/30 deal, though I'm less excited about him. That would leave us needing only 2 SP for next season. That's however is doable.

    Either deal, roll the dice and do it. Just do it. Stands to reason Berrios would have a lower AAV than both Severino and Nola.

    Actually "wait and see" in regard to Sano and Buxton was what I read in a LEN III article in regard to Twins extensions. Do Hyoung Park also is saying close to the same thing in a present article about a Kyle Gibson possible extension on twinsdotcom. I may well be confused but I am merely going by what I have read.
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    I have no desire to see a Harper,Cave, Garver OF. Buxton, Rosario, Harper, Yes. Let Max know that he will need a 1B's glove this year. Dump Cron instead. I value D too much. Kepler has a fair bit of 1B play in the minors. But I agree. A Harper or Machado under the present circumstance might be a long time before it is seen again.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    With both of these extensions the Twins essentially have most all of these players prime years. Keep them coming Falvine.
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    I can't go back to the 60's to opine. But imo Hrbek was our best 1B since then. Hrbek was like a cat in stretching for low throws and no one in MLB was better at running down a foul pop down the line. My order would be: 1.Hrbek 2.Carew 3. Morneau 4. Mientkiewicz 5. Mauer I can't list Mauer higher since he transitioned from C and tbh the 1st half of his time at 1B he wasn't very good. But he did work at it I will give him that.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    I have no complaint on this extension, or the one to Polanco. I want to see more. Rosario and Berrios. I think the wait and see stance on Buxton and Sano is a mistake. Show the players you are willing to take a risk. If both received similiar deals to Kepler and Polanco it would hardly handcuff the team even if the players don't pan out. But if Sano and Buxton come through which we all hope then the extension prices will greatly increase. I don't see Kepler as being any less of a risk.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Yeah, Polanco is not going to 3B. If Gordon pushes his way through as I think he will then Polanco at 5mil per is a very attractive trade piece.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    As far as Buxton goes, lets take a look at 2016-17. He played in 232 games. He amassed 7 WAR in that season and a half. So thats about a 4.5WAR per season. Even if he's the 2016 Buxton, a 3WAR player, if we had a 3WAR player for 5-6mil per season that is pure bargain. I say sign him and don't bat an eye. It's a risk well worth taking. If he can stay healthy he is still an STL player. Yes there will be times he's not hitting, it's the org's job to surround him with players that make up for those times.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    I see Gibson as either he is extended at somewhere around a 3/30-35 or he moves on. I don't see a QO in his future. QO is around 18 mil. He is set to make 8.125 in 2019, so I don't see why the team would QO him for 18mil unless he won 20 games and was a Cy finalist, maybe. But if he was the 2018 Gibson, no QO.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    For a guy who might be an AS 2B it would be a very good deal.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    But its great to wrap up Polanco longterm. And now Kepler. This is what should be happening. No way are we ever going to contend if the revolving door of the past isn't slammed shut. Lets sink or swim with these guys. Get Berrios down too and a couple of Rosario's FA years while we are at it. Don't stop there either, Gibson, Buxton and Sano too.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    Having Polanco signed long term can also make him a more valuable trade chip down the line too. Also you can't have too many good players and I for one still believe that Gordon is a good player and will be a good player in the future. We are now discarding Nick b/c of a bad stretch in AAA yet we herald Kiriloff as the next Votto b/c of one great season in A ball. Lets not forget that Nick already tore up AA last season.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Is a .333/.381/.525 two month slash line good enough? Or are those go to AAA numbers?
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    What made Nolan Ryan Nolan Ryan? What made him Great? It was his tremendous use of his lower half and the amazing strength that he had below the waist.Yes he had a great arm too. But he would have blown his arm out years before retirement had it not been for the strength of his lower body. Keep working on the lower body Brusdar.

    "Last year’s club was a good example of why one-year deals don’t typically work. There were a bunch of players with no connection to the club and very little team chemistry. Minnesota is never going to outspend other teams and I doubt many big-name free agents are identifying the Twins as an ideal destination for their talents." But yet they are repeating the same thing over again this season. We could be looking at 9-10 players on the OD roster who weren't on it last opening day. With all of the 1 year deals we have on hand now we could potentially be looking at the same scenario next season. When we won our WS's all those so many years ago it was due in large part b/c those guys knew each other like the back of their own hand. When does Falvine learn?
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    The emphasis is on Berrios and Rosario with indications that Sano and Buxton are on the wait and see list.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    According to LEN 3: "The Twins are working to sign some of their young players to multiyear contracts and could announce some of those deals by the end of the week."
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    The more of these reports I see and the less I am impressed with our farm. All of these guys thus far and good chance the rest have more ifs in their games than certains. The whats left to work ons are majors. I still think Nick Gordon is our most sure prospect.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes to this. One of the greatest wrongs in baseball is that minor leaguers are living in poverty to chase their dream. All the while ML players become multi millionaires and owners roll around in Billions. With the travel schedules and the time dedicated to their team it isn't like these guys can go get another job to supplement their incomes either. Or even a part time job. Another 1k a month even wouldn't hurt the owners or MLB players.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    So far in these lists the "What's Left To Work On" has been extremely significant. Lets hope these prospects get it better than the others have in the last decade.

    I bet Falvey's opinion on a Harper card changes in a few years once he's played for Cleveland or Texas.
