    I understand this argument. However, prospects traded away for Pomeranz could be replaced with other prospects obtained from an Ervin Santana trade.
  2. Vanimal46
    He's got 2 arb seasons left. Was making $1.35 MM in 2016... So he's probably on the same projection as Gibson? Maybe $3-4 mill for 2017 and who knows in 2018.
  3. Vanimal46
    Much more interested in Pomeranz than Buchholz. Jorge or Stewart + someone else for Pomeranz. Let's make it happen!
  4. Vanimal46
    When there's this much smoke, there's gotta be a fire soon for Dozier. I think he's gone by the end of the week.
  5. Vanimal46
    I would wear this shirt on a daily basis.... Someone start a kick starter right now!
  6. Vanimal46
    It's still very early in the FA period, so that may ring true... But as of late, it's been pretty quiet on Joey Bats rumors. If he doesn't have any real offers on the table, I would hope the Twins jump in to offer a contract.
  7. Vanimal46
    Is that a bad thing? Quite frankly I'm not sold on either of those guys anyway.
  8. Vanimal46
    Never trust the word of a GM... Especially this time of year when it's all SCORCHING hot rumors.
  9. Vanimal46
    Money talks... The Twins were a 103 loss team.... And who says Bautista has to move his family to Minnesota?
  10. Vanimal46
    That's what I'm thinking too... Sign him to a 1 year deal, hope he hits 20-25 bombs by July, then flip him for someone further along in their development than the 2nd round pick will be. If his presence helps the Twins win more games in 2017, even better.
  11. Vanimal46
    Well, that's one way to describe Brandon Kintzler...
  12. Vanimal46
    I assume so. Just saw the note this morning that the 1st round pick is protected since the Twins are a bottom 10 team.
  13. Vanimal46
    I wouldn't call signing Joey Bats a contending move... It would be a strategic move for the team if he continues to mash at Target Field, and flip him to a contender in July.
  14. Vanimal46
    Also, Jose Bautista related: His career numbers at Target Field: 21 games played, .349/.429/.895 (1.324 OPS!!) 14 HR 23 RBI It may be a pipe dream, but I'd call him up today to see if he wants to rebuild his value with the Twins.
  15. Vanimal46
    Doesn't appear that the contending teams want to give up the 1st round pick to sign him. BUT, a bottom feeding team like the Twins? Why the heck not is right! Even in a down year he still managed a .817 OPS. There's room for him here.
  16. Vanimal46
    Our old friend Chris Collabello is now a free agent.... Another interesting note I read on MLB Trade Rumors.... Ken Rosenthal explained if Jose Bautista signed with a team that had a bottom 10 record, they wouldn't have to give up a 1st round pick. I'm back on board to signing Joey Bats... More bat flips please!!
  17. Vanimal46
    I'm glad the Twins are moving on from acquiring anyone with a pulse that can throw over 95 MPH... They could find someone throwing 115 MPH, but if they can't locate the pitch, then it provides little value for the pitcher.
  18. Vanimal46
    Not sure if you're watching or not.... If you are, could you give us the cliff notes from the interview?
  19. Vanimal46
    Rich Hill signs with Dodgers for 3 years, $48 million.
  20. Vanimal46
    Maybe Falvey wants a couple of his former Cleveland prospects back from the Yankees.... Luis Severino would be high on my list of Yankees players to acquire.
  21. Vanimal46
    Closer Mark Melancon signed with the San Francisco Giants for 4 years, $62 million.
  22. Vanimal46
    So we watched the Shut Up and Dance episode this weekend. Good god that is a mind bleep.... That takes the cake as the best episode in the series.
  23. Vanimal46
    There's all these rumors out there that the Nationals are interested in acquiring both Sale and McCutchen. Along with being involved in both Melancon and Jansen for the open closer role. Are they coming to the conclusion that they won't be able to afford Harper and are trying to go for it right now?
  24. Vanimal46
    Twins fans could go back and forth about who to trade and what to target in the past, but know nothing really was going to happen. This year with the new regime is a different feeling. I do think Falvey and Co. could trade Dozier in the next couple of days, and maybe make another splash at these meetings.
  25. Vanimal46
    Also, don't forget inexplicably starting Logan Schafer for 19 (!!) games during the month of September. It was a very clear message of why bother from August until the end of the season.... They were done trying to work in any young position players
