    Trade Taylor Rogers and bring in Brad Hand on a 2 year $15M.

    In the market for a catcher?
  3. darin617
    Is there an actual market for Sano? Any trade would not be favorable for the Twins. Even if NL keeps the DH teams shouldn't overpay for a 1 dimensional player.

    What's wrong with Lynn? When the Twins brought him in he never had a Spring Training so he struggled.
  5. darin617
    All you have to then think about where the pitching is rated. Great pitching shuts down good lineups.

    The biggest thing JD can do for the Twins would be to somehow find a way to get through to Buxton that he needs to stay on the field and quit running into walls.

    5 reasons will be the following 1. starting pitching 2. starting pitching 3. starting pitching 4. starting pitching 5. defense

    I said over 2 years ago that Gordon would never make i to the majors. This is his last year to make a giant leap forward or be done.

    So what's the rotation going to be when Michael Pineda & Rich Hill come back? Obviously your first thought would be Dobnak or whoever is the 5th starter gets pushed to the pen when Pineda gets activated. Then how do they use Hill. It's a good problem to technically think we will have too many starters.

    I don't want more playoff teams added. We don't want baseball to turn into the NBA playoffs where basically half the teams make the playoffs. This cheapens the regular season and makes the 162 games mean even less if that's even possible.

    How is Rooker a 1st base candidate when he never played an inning there in 2019?
  12. darin617
    AL central window is closing rapidly for the Twins. The Sox will not hesitate to make moves and they have always been aggressive when they need to. Maybe not 2020, but I would be thinking 2021 will be the changing of the guard on top of the AL Central if the Twins can't make a trade for a top starter or if prospects can't make the jump to the majors.

    So why do i get ripped for saying Arraez should be a lead off hitter but now it's a good idea. Don't give me this new metrics garbage. Your hitter with the best OBP should be 1st. Would you rather have a solo HR or a 2 run HR if you feel this team is going to keep hitting bombas.

    So then is it ok if we wait 2 years and hope Polanco still has some value?
  15. darin617
    I would trade Polanco before I would think about trading Arraez if he continues to play well. I know everyone will say Polanco is/was an all star last year. Just go look at his stats after the all star break. Poor defense and we can't hope JD can get to all the balls on the left side of the infield. Sell high on Polanco if teams believe he has a high trade value.

    It's poetic when you think about paying him basically 23M a season. I can't recall the last player the Twins gave 23M a season to right now but I do recall the last couple of years were no where near worth it.
  17. darin617
    Buxton would have been a candidate for one of these extensions when he first came up. That may not have worked out very well since he can't stop running into walls and slamming himself into the field as well.
  18. darin617
    Where is my top 5 1st baseman list?
  19. darin617
    So then move him to another position or trade him since he has such a "high value" now.
  20. darin617
    So you want a team to trade for him with the price tag of a star shortstop to move him to 2nd base? The value between that would be huge. Doubt you could find a team that foolish.
  21. darin617
    Polanco #1? If this is so deal him now for maximum return. Was this done by his agent?
  22. darin617
    Great post. Only thing that would have made it better if said perfect game instead of no hitter.
  23. darin617
    I can't see Pittsburgh moving him already. This is his first year of arbitration so it's not going to be that expensive for them.
  24. darin617
    And I thought this was a post about them replacing the grass at Target Field with a better quality grass.
  25. darin617
    How about to start thinking about the budget if the sign our core players to long term deals and have a couple of bad contracts to deal with as well. It's not about being cheap. Think about extensions for Berrios, Buxton, Garver, Rogers, & possibly Arraez for starters. Yes, the Pohlad's are being cheap having a 130M budget. They could easily raise it up to 175M without blinking and still clear over 50M+ a year. There is nothing saying they can't use the money they have left in budget for a trade either now or in July.
