  1. guessing if they can get Odo for 10mil would keep salaries manageable...and lock in another started. 1 yr deal....maybe a mutual option.
  2. those who admitted to using Illegal/banned I put differently than those who use prior to testing and those who are suspected of using....... Without the proof opens a slippery slope.....but for me Bonds, AROD...not a chance...AROD specifically suspended...why would you take after the whole first round, then testing.....WOW.... Should not allowed to be around the game....as bad as Rose betting on baseball....broke the written rules......you are out of consideration.
  3. new #9 batter..... Good D...now if Bux can get his swing and take a spot at the top of the order.....all good.
  4. Find the Number and sign him....he is such a good influence on the club, let the guys watch a pro...how to be a pro!
  5. assumptions Marvin G is gone (9mil), Eddie R don't offer Arbitration (7.75 mil), Decline Sergio R Option (5Mil) Big Quesiton is Pitching....can you get Odo back cheap? Hill? What else will be out there...... Resign Cruz, one yr good money with a mutual option..if he wants two a slight discount in the second with escalators....bring up a young guy to replace Rosario.... They will have to plan for no fans in 2021, and adjust up if possible.....
  6. want to see him take the leadoff spot.....then bring Kepler or Garver in the 2 depending on matchup......love his patience... Arraez Kepler Cruz Donaldson Garver Polanco Rosario Sano Buxton
  7. I hate the bogus crowd noise piped in..... To add some fun....saw the idea of removing the screens protecting the cardboard people.....make foul balls a lot more fun........ Cruz on pace for 200 RBI....if he can play 60 against the Sox..... Sox are not contenders yet....that Defense is horrible!! Still questioning the lineup...... BUT HAPPY ball is back!!
  8. Age 27......wonder what Nelson Cruz has to say about that......Fine bourbon.....better with age!!
  9. Have always been an Eddie fan, But he is the odd man out...forget Cave and Wade....get to the young guys. Hopefully Eddie lights it up first 1/2 the year and can be part of a trade deadline deal for a pitcher. and let one of the Kids take over. Not a Cave fan at all.......his D was terrible last year.....and if you are going cheap let one of the Kids get a start.........
  10. Not a Cave Fan at all....we have to be able to do better.
  11. Even if they go to 150-160 that is Large % of the budget.......just don't see that ending well.....would rather see that money lock up our own guys (Berrios/Buxton)
  12. I Like Donaldson as a player, but I do not like this signing for the Twins. Committing 20+M to a 34 yr old 3rd baseman (Will be a DH by the end of the Contract) for a team with a payroll of 130-140M seems like a luxury.....need to spend the money to resign Berrios if we cannot attract FA pitchers we better keep what we have.
  13. can't think we are going to sign FA pitchers if we can't lock down our own.....find the number and get it done.....even #2 starter money......start @ something like 5 mill this year, 10 mil 2021, 15 2022, 15 2023, 18 2024........ 5 for 63....... even if year 5 a team option......
  14. Forget Donaldson.....no way is he worth what he is asking.....if you are not going to go find pitching...hang on to the $'s.......
  15. first of all everyone HR's will be down next year....did yo not see the baseball in the postseason....so time to look for high ave on base hitters....I do like Eddie, but agree if they need to trade him get a pitcher that can help. No way the top Pitchers are coming to MN......so we need to go down the food chain.... I like the Wheeler thought..... I also like getting some of the young guys up..... But I think you need Garver in the lineup 125-135 games w that that bat....and that isn't going to be behind the plate.....so castro back on a deal is good, and astidillo or another C I am good with. Dump Cave....as an injury replacement up from AAA he is ok...but not worthy of a 26 man roster spot.
  16. no way it takes 10 million to sign Gibson..... would rather have Pineda for that money....and think our #5 starter needs to be a cheap guy...(Dobnak or Graderol) Need Garver in the lineup every day....so maybe 1st...leave Sano at 3rd makes those spots affordable. No way Cave should be on the roster....proved last year he is not a major league talent. like Wheeler..... odo as 3, pineada as 4 and young guy as 5. Save about 20-25 million.
  17. I really like Eddie...would be happy to see him signed here....but also understand the roster and who is coming up......and if you want additional pitching and can't get in FA then you have to trade something of value to get value....so if Eddie is it we can say thanks and good luck! But they will need to find his replacement for Energy...and it was proven that Cave isn't an everyday player so planning on him is a HUGE mistake.....better to bring up the kids.....
  18. start at the backend....figure Graterol for the 5 spot, Dobnak for the 4th...... Get Berrios signed to lock down the top end.gonna be (20-25)... then odo (15) or pineda (10-12) as the 3 for reasonable Then go and see what the market has....thinking the tier 1 will be more than 25 (like 30-35...don't see the Twins going here.....need to keep anyone they bring in under Berrios...so a tier 2 guy in the 18-22 range?
  19. twins won't be buyers for front of the rotation guys.....12 pitchers will look like this... Berrios Odorizzi Pineda Graterol Dobnak Rogers Duffey Romo Smeltzer May Littell ????
