Article: Let's Make A Deal, Part II: Payroll
-
Indians might be within a few games of us by the ASG with the ease of their schedule and the way we have played lately. I doubt they would trade with us
-
Whatever version we get he’s better than Kyle Gibson, Michael Pineda, Martin Perez, Devin Smeltzer,and he’s more accomplished/experienced against good hitting than Jose Berrios & Odorrizi. We desperately need him or an equivalent. No more excuses about age, mileage, etc. do you want to roll into the playoffs with Perez or Nibbles as one of your starters? Eff no.
-
What plate discipline? I love Miguel’s potential and power but he’s absolutely brutal and I’m convinced he’ll never be worth anything against above average pitching. Package him in a trade.
-
The days of Terry Ryan created a lot of people who believed every prospect was a sacred gem even though the Twins minor league development/conditioning was not great for many (pitchers especially). Hopefully most of them have come around or at least switched sports.
-
Yeah. Every indicator told me T Ryan was a GM that built his team to win the central and beyond that he left it up to luck and chance. His goal was always competitive, not dominant.
-
Yeah but no reason to think that everyone is going to develop into a Berrios or a Polanco. I feel like if you’re on a potential championship team you take the trade off of giving up a player that may become a star if it nets you a World Series title. You can try to give up less but front offices aren’t dumb. Sometimes you have to “overpay”, and it’s not really overpaying it’s market value at the time of the trade.
-
Overvaluing prospects is a crutch that hindered T Ryan when his team became competitive. I’m glad it seems the new regime is different.
-
Hahahahaha. I’d love to see this. How many HR in a row would be hit I think they’d break the MLB record
-
We are 100% a playoff team and a division winner. I see us “1 & done” as our roster stands now.

Hahaha. Crain Wreck was a great nickname. You’re right the bullpen does get that NFL kicker treatment from fans but we just remember bullpen failures past in the playoffs and would love to avoid that.

it’s a good thing he’s high velocity cuz he misses his location really badly on a lot of pitches. That popout by Seager to end the game was supposed to be outside & he put it middle-in happy zone.
-
I’m going to the game tonight. Hopefully get a chance for a few HR balls. I know Cruz hits him well anyway.

Yeah... i don’t think that’s accurate. I’ll still take my chances with Sano it only to get him more experience in those situations. I don’t know if Adrianza will even be on the team in a year.
-
Sano knows he can a mistake ball 500 ft so he will cheat a bit for that potential huge sportscenter highlight reel homer... especially earlier in his career. I believe he’s smarter in 2019 but I don’t know if he’s prepared to go all the way and take the temporary drop in power numbers to become ok against nasty pitching
