    I'd be much more interested in trading him while his value is high instead of extending him. I think he's at his peak at the moment with his knees being good to him last year. As athletes age knees don't tend to often get better like last year.
  2. farmerguychris
    I think it is obvious that it is unsettled. Other than Celistino, who should be in AAA, we have no other right handed bats do we (not counting Buxton).
  3. farmerguychris
    I'm with you. As a fan this really irritates me. I get his, the analytics show he has stuff - but look at the results. Let it go - I'd be happy with literally nothing in return for him if they would just let him go. Ugh!! What a waste of a roster spot and we are a worse team for having him on it. I'd rather have Austdillo as a pitcher.
  4. farmerguychris
    Are they really still planning on keeping Pagan in our pen??!! Lets move him for literally anything. Don't want to waste CC or Buxton, or any other lead we ever have to let him give it up again.
  5. farmerguychris
    Yeah yeah - so we signed a pretty good shortstop. But wait.... There's more!!! Guess the F.O. was just waiting for today to do anything? Another unknown option for the rotation? Can we please move on from Pagan now? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/01/twins-acquire-a-j-alexy-from-nationals.html

    One player - even one as good as CC does not make a team as we found out in 2022. BUT - the health Gods have to be on our side this year don't they? After last year being the experiment of getting injured to possibly never return - it HAS to be better right? A nice blend of vets and young guys sound like a way to win if we can stay healthy. BUT - we still have about $15M more to spend right? A right handed OF bat would be great. Anyone looking for a corner left hand bat we can trade for a right hand bat perhaps? Give them Kepler and get someone who can be the next Garlick at a higher level.
  7. farmerguychris
    I would expect this or perhaps put Polonco on the trade block and put someone into the 2nd base role between Brooks, Lewis or Martin.
  8. farmerguychris
    Am I understanding this correctly? We get CC for the next 6 years (his prime age) at $33.34M per year, and then can keep him longer at a lower rate if he hits a certain number of plate appearances? How is this not a great deal for us??!! This sounds like an outstanding deal for the future of the Twins. Not only what he provides on the field, but what he provides in clubhouse leadership. Allows Farmer to be our infield utility role (plus super utility Gordon who can play OF), don't have to rush Lewis back - win/win. Lets keep this train going. What am I missing that any fans might not love this? Sure injury history, but really have any players made it this far into their careers without any injury concerns?
  9. farmerguychris
    Nope - would prefer to go with our younger guys and anyone we can get for Kepler and hopefully Pagan. No spot for either of them once picked up Gallo and saw what Pagan can do in the pen last year.
  10. farmerguychris
    Does Garlick still have options? If so - why not take a chance to see if he bounces back? My only request is if he starts off slow - don't be afraid to pull the plug on him and move on before June.

    When you say adjacent to the big Hammond stadium - are you saying what would be out past the left field fence of Hammond for that full and a half field? I've never wandered over there. Last question - another fan I was talking to said there is somewhere a box with pamphlets in it that have jersey numbers matched to names. So many of the prospects I'm excited to see - but can't match faces and names without knowing what numbers they are wearing. Do you know what I'm talking about or where to find that? Thanks for your feedback. Flight, hotel, and tickets booked. Lets go Twins.

    Couple of questions here please for anybody who has been to spring training- Went for the first time a couple of years ago, and think I may have missed out on a couple of things. Thinking of going back this year if we can find a place to stay after the hurricane took out some options. 1 - I spent all of my time on the back 4 fields in the 'diamond' area where all the young guys were practicing - no major league players were even around. But I never went into Hammond other than for a game. Were the major league guys perhaps practicing around there and I should have made my way up to the big stadium? 2 - I went pretty early in the season - I was there for maybe their 6th or 7th game - that might also play a role of why I saw few big league names. When is the best time to see as many players (both prospects and big league) players to help my kids get signatures? Thanks for any advice.

    I'll never quit the team because a bad day at the ballpark is better than a good day most anyplace else. The sounds, the smells, the atmosphere all is something I look forward to even as a 50 year old regardless of if we are in first, or last place.
  14. farmerguychris
    I, for one, do not want to give up on Martin yet. He has been highly touted most of his career as someone who can be an impact player. While yes, he has not yet met those high expectations - he also is still young. Sounds a lot like Gordon who we were pretty happy to have last year.
  15. farmerguychris
    No way am I trading anyone with starter potential for someone slightly better than Garlick.
  16. farmerguychris
    Its just amazing the player Buxton can be when healthy! That game winner against Chicago was very memorable. I know the 'if he's healthy' may always apply to him - but to have the speed in the field, the hustle to beat our infield singles, and the power he shows in these clips demonstrate why he's well worth his salary even if he only plays 2/3 of the year.
  17. farmerguychris
    If you're done with the team, and you still like baseball - then just get a new favorite team. Lots of people have favorite teams that they follow every single day and don't live in the market they play in.
  18. farmerguychris
    Free agent contracts are stupid this year - long and expensive. I think this Twins F.O. is going to have to change their way of thinking or we might be left in the cold frequently by sitting and waiting things out.
  19. farmerguychris
    Would you? Why or why not?
  20. farmerguychris
    IF our season starts off rough quickly (like we did in 2021) I think we should move this direction quickly. Trade people like Gallo if can get anything for them and let the youth learn at this level. Might not get many wins, but might also be fun to watch the guys we've been hearing about for years show their stuff and grow.
  21. farmerguychris
    Bullpen help. We have depth at starters, but even if we signed a true number 1 starter - the analytics this FO operate by suggest they would often not pitch past 5 innings. Spend some money on the BP to replace Pagan, Megill, Sands, and Moran. Last year we had a BP full of 1-inning guys - nows the time to address that and get a stacked set up back-ups who can pitch 600 innings.
  22. farmerguychris
    Boris's rush to get this done tells me there may be something legit to the physical the Giants gave him. Otherwise he would have taken his normal time to get CC back to that $350M figure he sought.
  23. farmerguychris
    Agreed - this is simply bad for baseball. A hard cap needs to be put in place asap or there will only be 6 fan bases that have anything to look forward to. I used to cheer for the Mets when compared to the Yankees and how they've treated the Twins in my lifetime. Now I can only hope all big market teams lose and lose big every year until the system is fixed.
  24. farmerguychris
    Sure - but that .199 BA - thats hard to get over. Especially at that salary. What was his WAR in '20 and '21? That will show his true value.
  25. farmerguychris
    OK - I gotta say I'd prefer Gallo over Pagan. Its not THAT bad, even if its awful.
