    I am pro Gibson signing, but it could be to buy out Arb yrs,with 1 or 2 team option yrs into his FA yrs. My contract would look like this 2017, $3M, 2018, $6M, 2019, $9M, then 2 team option yrs at $12M and $15M with maybe a $1M buyout. On a different note, I would try to extend Trevor May too.

    So, are you saying if Berrios is a #1 you would throw 7 yrs $210-245M? That is the going rate now, what will it be in 7 yrs? And then if you would be willing to do that, you are paying someone thru age 35...............And I did in my original post on Gibson, that AFTER this yr , if he shows to be still improving, remember he did lose time with his TJ. I would not extend Gibson today............I guess after typing this, you probably mean to try to extend Berrios when his Arb yrs are about here and save money...........there is risk in everything, sometimes you have to take chances..............I will also say, I am a big fan of Berrios' demeanor and work ethic, but I dont believe him to be anything more than a good #3. I wish to be wrong tho

    As far as Gibson, I like him and I personally would extend him AFTER this season, if he still looks good......I understand the sentiment of , we have pitchers waiting in the wings, but if Gibson proves to be a solid #3 I could see and would be willing to offer a 4 yr $30M with a team option for a 5th yr at $15M..........and pitchers waiting in the wings seldom turn out as good as we hope.

    First , I am not inclined to extend Plouffe, but if he is the option over Sano, then possibly you keep him for 2 yrs, I could see a 2 yr $22M extension, cover his 1st yr of FA, and then after that let him walk. Or if not sure add a team option for $13M for 2019...........as this would preclude having extend a QO if we dont have a good option to take over 3rd base then........I would guess the QO will be in the $18M range by then.

    In another thread, I posted that either/or both Buxton and Sano should be given 8 yr 90-$100 contracts after this season IF IF they look like potential stars in the making.......I believe my proposal was this: 2017-2018 ,$1M; 2019, $6M; 2020, $9M; 2021, $12M; 2022, $20M; 2023-2024 team options $25M.

    Apparently it wasnt a deal breaker since he got a deal without including FA yrs.
  7. blairpaul715
    2 things, first it is alot of money to dole out, but remember, if I hear right MLB is going to be flush with new money coming it.....................second, yes they may not become the next big thing but they both will be good , but if you think of it as total each yr it comes to approx $12M avg a season, something we could live with............and for FA yrs it is still a 30% discount to Trout , so it really isnt in his neighborhood, just down the street on the next block .........................................................................................if both of us are around in 5 yrs, it would be fun to look back and see what happens................The Twins need to be proactive at some point, and as much as I would like to get them for less, I am not sure that is going to happen. And remember I did say AFTER this year if they look like potential stars, we will know more by yrs end.

    I cant wait to see Berrios, but the prudent thing to do is wait at least 13 days , IF the other starting candidates look good in the spring. Then wait for an injury or poor performance in April , have him up by May 1st.
  9. blairpaul715
    I was thinking after this yr I would extend Buxton and Sano, if both look like potential stars, when both Buxton and Sano have 1 plus yr service time, I would take my chances on offering 8yr,$90-100M contracts. I wouldnt count on them accepting. If they did accept , here is how i would pay them: 2 non Arb yrs $1M, 3 arb yrs $6, 9, 12M , 3FA yrs $20, 25, 25M..........and would be nice with club option yrs beyond................is this crazy thinking???? I dont think so with what Trout is getting paid........10.25M for service yr 4, 15.25M for yr 5, then 19.25, 33.25, 33.25, and 33.25 for yrs 6 thru 9.
  10. blairpaul715
    I am with you , but I do want to see how this season plays out, we should have a better idea on Dozier...........I think unless Dozier ups his BA a bit, even at the expense of HR's, I would look to trade and replace with Polanco next yr.......Provided Polanco keeps showing improvement.
  11. blairpaul715
    IMO the most likely Rule 5 pickups off the Twins is Wimmers and Michael(former 1st Rd picks), and I dont have a quibble with who they protected for the most part, but I would personally kept Wimmers and dropped O'Rourke.
  12. blairpaul715
    Major league ready?? I would disagree on any of them being ML ready(Jones would be closest IMO).....Peavy wasnt even protected last yr for the AA version of Rule 5...............I do agree that it is possible that Jorge could get the Santana treatment if some team trully believe he has big upside.
  13. blairpaul715
    I am ok with May in the pen, but if we would sign an above average bullpen arm(Not Stauffer type lol) I hope he moves back to starter...............I am a believer in Pressly, and I feel Tonkin hasnt been given a good shot, give him 3 months and see where he is as a Twin reliever.......So my bullpen would be.......1 Perkins, 2 Jepsen(co-closers), 3 Pressly,4 Tonkin,5 Rogers, 6 May or new FA pitcher preferably a lefty.........7 Meyer and if we have a 13 man pitching staff, 8 Nolasco.
  14. blairpaul715
    Seems the way you 'ride' Seths quotes and his rankings, you would think he was the GM and not a TD poster, albeit the King TD Poster
  15. blairpaul715
    Its not a mistake of yours ,if you place him 5th or 55th on your prospect list or I do on mine, its the mistake of the Twins if he doesnt make it after signing him for $5M.
  16. blairpaul715
    Not sure I would have had Santana come out for the 8th.
  17. blairpaul715
    If you read this somewhere, then i believe, but the question I would have then ,is why if the Twins win vs Houston then LA comes to Minnesota, but if Houston beats LA they still have to come to Minnesota, so I would have thought if, in the scenario that LA decides to host 2 home games if they win first one, is used and Houston won, why would Houston then not host Minnesota???
  18. blairpaul715
    If we are going to do something like this, I like the 2 for 1 pitcher exchange as we seem to be doing ok in the starting pitcher depth department.......but if we do, and it is someone under a long term deal, it is for 3 yrs or less.
  19. blairpaul715
    I definitely like this idea, give us some target ideas??
  20. blairpaul715
    It is encouraging, but also reminds us that 2016 is no given as far as being anything more than around an 85 win team, of course, all depending on health and offseason acquisitions.........as constituted we are a Jekyll and Hyde kind of team.
  21. blairpaul715
    I am following online, is Perkins slider looking good?? All strikes that is good news compared to the other night.
  22. blairpaul715
    Status of May???
  23. blairpaul715
    And they also did manage his innings in AAA, he never pitched more than 7 innings in any one game.........altho i would liked him to be up, i am certainly not one of them to think it is mismanagement at all.
  24. blairpaul715
    I think we also need to go 6-1 these last 7 games, and no way we can win all 4 against Cleveland, afraid we will knock each other out here, one loss for Cleveland and they are done and a split here, I believe we will be done too.......But hoping for the best and meaningful baseball this close to October will make the offseason shorter .......I mean instead of thinking next yr in July we get to wait till Oct 1
  25. blairpaul715
    Um.......i guess i dont trust him after that showing!!!
