    Can he pitch? Could really use an effective closer...

    Bring this up when it's June 1st. The season is very young and things can change. I will say that the Josh Donaldson deal is going to not turn out well. He misses too much time every year and he like everyone is is not getting any younger.

    I loved Kirby, but why no Killebrew card?
  4. darin617
    Well, that is a great question.
  5. darin617
    Slightly just a little bold don't you think?
  6. darin617
    The biggest concern will be how long it will take him to ramp up to being a starter? If he is stuck in the bullpen for the first 5 weeks just throwing an inning or 2 how long will it take him to be ready to go 6-7 innings?

    Shane Greene should be considered as well. If things got really messed up he can close.

    If you could actually teach some of these players how to properly bunt it would be great. Imagine how scary it would be if Buxton was a left handed hitter and knew how to bunt?

    I'm waiting for Berrios to live up to his potential.
  10. darin617
    Shouldn't it say Berrios in Maeda - like form?
  11. darin617
    I just have no interest in signing any of those players to the long term deals they will be seeking.
  12. darin617
    He needs to show that he can stay healthy for an entire season before any team should be thinking about signing him to a long term contract.

    Please save this for when the regular season starts. Spring training is just to get work in for most pitchers. Maybe they are working on a certain pitch and not pitching like they would in the regular season.

    I'm not interested in the next Brian Dozier. Show me the next Mike Trout on the roster.
  15. darin617
    This also could have been titled "dumpster diving"
  16. darin617
    He was DFA 4 times. He must have found the right pitching coach that finally unlocked his full potential.

    The dumbest thing the Twins could do would be to make a trade for anyone they can only control for one season. Foolish to give up prospects for a rental. I also can't see the Twins signing any of these shortstops long term anyways. One reason is hoping Royce Lewis would be ready soon and the other the can't afford to give a massive deal to them either. No chance they would spend $250M+ for 8 years.

    Robles for $2M and possibly released by June or $7-9M for Brad Hand?
  19. darin617
    I think the Saints were doing quite well on their own. To me it wouldn't make sense for them to put up $20M
  20. darin617
    So who came up with the $20 million for the franchise fee? Hopefully the Twins covered it 100%.

    Bauer is an ace on a team with a SOLID rotation. Berrios is a #3 starter on a team with a solid rotation. Sorry, Berrios is good just not an ace. He sadly seems to start hot and runs out of gas during the season.

    Polanco would have been a non tender without a doubt. There's a reason why the Twins are looking at SS on the free agent market. Polanco will turn into a utility player. There is no reason to have a poor defensive SS if you can take advantage of the current market and improve the team defense.
  23. darin617
    I know he wasn't a non tender player but wouldn't have Brad Hand been a much greater option to close than bringing back Rogers?
  24. darin617
    People can disagree all they want with my thoughts. In my opinion if everyone was available that were active for more than half of last season only Kepler & Garver would bring back a premium as position players. As for the pitchers, Berrios, Maeda, Pineda, and possibly Duffy and Rogers would bring back a premium in a trade.
  25. darin617
    Those trades seem pretty one sided.
