    this one will come back to bit the Twins going forward.....we just cannot have bad contracts that go years into the future.....He's a good player but not a franchise player........
  2. srlarson
    still would not do 10 years.....but if he wanted to come back for 3 or 4 at a high AAV then I would say go for it....or another contract like last year......awesome...otherwise let him go somewhere else.....
  3. srlarson
    rather than a salary cap/mlb needs a minimum threshhold for teams to get a share of the Lux Tax payments.....make the lower teams spend up to a level.....to get free money!!
  4. srlarson
    Didn't like this signing..too much money for an average player...rather keep Kepler.....as bad as than has been....Probably won't be competing this year, lucky to sniff .500 ball........
  5. srlarson
    signing correa does no good.....he cannot pitch......until you solve that...you are just wasting money!!
  6. srlarson
    would be a huge mistake to lock up Correa to a long term (more than 5 years).....if he wants a shorter higher Ave....I'm ok with that....this team cannot handcuff itself with these long term deals....so few work out..... Where is he going to get the $'s which big money teams need a SS? Don't bid against yourself..... Let him walk and spend the dollars on the mound......
  7. srlarson
    if it's a decision of him or Miranda (at min salary) to get playing time....go w Miranda...put the 10million into the pitching staff.......like Gio, wasn't sold on him early...but had a good year..... Guys whose bats need to be in the lineup everyday: Miranda, Aarez, Kirloff, Gordon as Super Utility.......also depends what they do at Short.....

    Correa for Soto???

    srlarson commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    No way the Twins can get into that kind of contract...and if they didn't extend Soto, no way they get a large haul for him as a rental.....might recoup some..... Bigger issue no way they should extent Correa, have said all along the way the Twins win on this deal is if it is for one year and he opts out and goes somewhere else.....means he had a good year....no way he is worth 30mil/...above average ballplayer but not a superstar.....spend the payroll across a couple of pitchers......

    Sano Situation

    srlarson commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I would be open to trading Urshela.....hasn't been what we thought we were getting....if you can get something for him I would....he won't be here next year.....so get something now and free up the roster spot.... Sano needs to adjust, no one will take his contract so let it run out and use him as a DH and PH the rest of the year....but would get all existing players in the lineup in front of him.
  10. srlarson
    he needs to hit better than .218.......if he can get it to .275 then you can have that discussion........but good d, some pop in his bat.....but struggles to get on base....
  11. srlarson
    no.....and can we also not have Sanchez and Jeffers both in the lineup.....we have enough bats (that can actually hit) to not have these guys and their feeble swings both in the lineup......was hoping for more out of Sanchez......but at least a short deal.
  12. srlarson
    First, editing on the article is horrible!! Next, I have said all along the shorter the Correa contract is for the Twins the better...good player, good guy.....but not 30+ Million worth of value to this team. I would ask him what he wants, being known as an organization that is player friendly, especially top players can only help. If he stays this season and we make the playoffs and give the guys some experience...that's a plus....let him opt out and leave...we had nothing in to get him., so letting him walk is no long term cost. If he wants to leave, find the best place that is agreeable....get as much as you can...and save the remaining $s on this year....
  13. srlarson
    This team as currently constructed cannot win the WS....they can be a competitive team but will be an early exit from the playoffs.....So I would be open to trading anyone you get value for......until we can get some home grown stud pitchers, since we won't go get one on the open Market...we need to keep kicking it down the road....if you get value for anyone you trade add young talent and see if it can develop.....pitching, pitching....pitching.......
  14. srlarson
    I was hoping for a .500 season....with the start...thinking now over .500 by a few games.....85-86 wins.....other good point is the division is a hot mess...White Sox cannot play defense...DT and KC..yuk.....and the Indians (always will be) under .500.....so some easy wins there.... Sano gone for a few months will help....but it all comes down to pitching.
  15. srlarson
    we have to all hope Correa opts out for a long term contract....that means he was healthy and had a good year.....same spot as I have been with this contract all along....best for the twins if this is only a 1 year deal....the longer it goes..means he has underperformed...and we are stuck with an asset that isn't worth what he is being paid.
  16. srlarson
    They need to sit him down for a week to 10 days...... Last night was just one more reason.......has a terrible night at the plate, only getting on because Grossman is a subpar fielder....then in his oblivious state.....makes a terrible base running error...not once but twice.....watch the play.....going first to second.....then trying to push and go to third....this guys head is not in the game.....loads of talent..no discipline.......just want to slap him upside the head to wake him up...... But bailed out by two terrible defensive plays....lucky our division cannot play defense..... cannot have your starting 1st baseman hitting under .100........time to sit him down.
  17. srlarson
    81-81......
  18. srlarson
    To me this all comes down to Correa....if he is only here 1 yr...then that deal is a A.....if 2 yr's then a B and if by some chance he is here for all three, then we did not get value.....so a D....... Dumping Donaldson was an A......getting back relatively minor contracts but losing catching depth.......still ok with.... This team will not compete for playoffs....so hopefully a couple of these guys will have some value at the trade deadline.....play the young guys and look forward to 23 and 24...... Archer was a good dart throw, for the price worth taking the chance on the guy. Roll out the balls and lets get the season going. Let's shoot for .500 baseball......
  19. srlarson
    Correa is hopefully a one yr rental....the shorter his contract the better for the team. (he over performs and opts out for a long term deal, somewhere else)......if we see all three years (means he did not exceed contract) so this buys the Twins a one year window to get Lewis MLB ready.
  20. srlarson
    A - if one year deal.....means he had a great year and is hitting the open market to look for a long term deal.... B - if a two year deal....means poor play or injury....in yr 1 c - if 3 yr deal...means he did not live up to his contact...and rode it out for the money...... Hoping it's a 1 yr deal and he has a great yr...then goes and signs for 10 yrs somewhere else!
  21. srlarson
    don't waste money on these guys...this season is a throw away anyways....save the $'s and get a real budget for next year....
  22. srlarson
    to me the logical spot for him is platooning w Donaldson between 3rd and DH......give them both some time out of the field..and keep their bats in the lineup.
  23. srlarson
    nothing wrong w Cave...but nothing special about him either....trading for a 4th outfielder just never a wise thing to do. Surprised he has hung around as long as he has w the Twins...... Twins just can't seem to develop Pitching or identify when they have a chance to do something......
  24. srlarson
    hopefully he earns all 29.75.....would mean good things for the Twins, and Him!!
  25. srlarson
    Wade is a replacement level player....so getting anything for him that can help at the major league level is a good deal. Hope he does well in SF....ready for the the season!!
