  1. Now that 2020 is what it is: 2021: 16 million 2022: 17 million 2023: 18 million (FA 1) 2024: 19 miilion (FA 2) 2025: 15 million (option) (5 million buyout) 5 years/75 (with buyout) 5 years/85 (with option) Add yearly $1 million incentives for 4.0 K/BB ratio
  2. I like the deal quite a bit, actually. Graterol is likely not going to be a starter capable of 180+ innings until 2022.
  3. He is not going to take any of these lower deals. No way. I would go for this, right now: 2020 = 7 2021 = 16 2022 = 16 2023 = 16 2024 = 14 (option), 5 (buyout) 5 years/60 guaranteed
  4. Against lefties (given Polanco's struggles as a RH bat): Garver Donaldson Cruz Sano Rosario Kepler Buxton Arraez Polanco vs. righties: Polanco Arraez Donaldson Cruz Rosario Sano Kepler Garver Buxton
  5. I literally asked this same question maybe four years ago (the team was the Marlins): if we are to trade with Cleveland, why not trade for Nick Wittgren? I can't imagine trading with Cleveland until the gap is insurmountable, but wouldn't it be something if the guy I clamored for in the 2012 draft became a Twin finally? He is having his best year with 30 K and 4 BB in 27.1 IP, with a 2.37 FIP. He has actually gotten better all four years in the majors.
  6. I would rather that he rest his back for a couple weeks and then go start pitching in AAA.
  7. Guys who shouldn't be on the 40-man next year: Parker, Pineda, Magill, Castro (some room for argument here), Adrianza (like him a lot, but I think Arraez is the way to go going forward), Torreyes, and Cave. Gordon is tradeable, too. That would remove 8. Duran isn't going to be selected. I am willing to risk Jax and Wiel. That would make everyone else safe, as is. Of course I would hope that one or two relievers are added before the deadline, so there will just be one or two two decisions (and who knows about the Cruz situation anyway).
  8. LOL. No he isn't. End of story. Prolly stop talking about this. Yes, I'M BAAAAAAACK!.
  9. Molitor and basically the entire coaching staff have to go. There is no alternative. Next year has to be the time of promoting 5-7 guys at the beginning of the season. Kepler has to figure it out. Buxton too. Sano too. My god.
