fightingsioux4life Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Glad I stopped following the Twins closely years ago. It's the same old slop every year. 1 Quote

If you want him as a full time DH, go nuts. Twins are spending too much time chasing the last trend (3 outcome guys) and not enough on the new trends in baseball. Exactly they have good young talented outfielders, granted health has been a issue with most of them. Kepler time is up. Twins seem to always have a surplus of position players but not much when it comes to pitching Quote
SiouxScore Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Dansby Swanson to the Cubs, not many big targets left for the Twins Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Well... that was a interesting turn of events. Twins get Correa after all Quote

SiouxScore Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I don't care how they got him back I'd rather have Correa than not and a 6 year deal for 200 isn't bad at all. Looking at the roster I have to think more is coming. The logical guy I see moving is Kepler. Maybe you build a package with him and one of the young starters like Ober or Winder and a prospect to target a top of the rotation pitcher. C-Vazquez 1B-Kirilloff 2B-Polanco SS-Correa 3B-Miranda LF-Gallo CF-Buxton RF-Kepler DH-Arraez Bench/On the way- C-Jeffers, OF-Larnach, Wallner, Gordon, Celestino, Garlick, IF-Farmer, Lewis, Julien, Lee, Martin SP-Gray, Maeda, Ryan, Mahle, Ober Other options-Varland, Winder, Paddack, Woods-Richardson, Balazovic, Prielipp RP-Duran, Lopez, Jax, Alcala, Thielbar, Moran, Sands, Henriquez, Canterino, Megill, Pagan(yuck) Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 6 at 200 is fair. Plus there are ways to extend the contract if there is success after the 6 years. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I'd be concerned with what the SFG and NYM found that had them walk away. Quote

If the Twins offered what they were offering for him, yes. Walk away. Giving him a 13 year or 12 year contract with guaranteed money is, to be honest, stupid. The fact it is only for 6 years at minimum, it makes it tolerable/reasonable. I hear the argument that the Twins should have used the $$$ for pitching. Okay, name one pitcher* in the open market that would make the squad better. *Well, there is one out there... but no one is going to touch him with a 100 foot pole. Quote

They still have money to spend if they want to reach the same tax payroll as last season, like 15-20 million. So I would hope there is some sort of trade in the works for a SP, and I’m guessing Kepler will be gone. Quote

Missed the boat on bigger earlier opportunities to move him, but it seems like the front office is ready to move on. Quote
ND-fan Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 I thought the current regime that was put in place was to build twins organization into organization that could draft build farm system that would supply pitching like where they came from in Cleveland but they have been since 2016 only top line pitcher they have had is from previous regime developed. My question where is the accountability for the head office by ownership and management when we have had no success in player development. Most of the talent can be traced back to previous GM in the Twins organization and they have spent fortune on modern technology but very little results. Now were heading down path of signing high cost free agents can we now afford to go this way. Quote
SiouxBoys Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 It's obvious that his ankle isn't 100%. Asking an ankle to hold up for 6 years is a lot safer than asking it to hold up for 12 or 13 years. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 That proposed Arrez trade to Miami to get Pablo Lopez is about to go down. Quote

The one guy that had quality at bats game in and out. Didn't fit the regime's launch angle mold unfortunately. Hopefully he takes a run at the NL batting title. Quote
SiouxScore Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I loved Arraez. I understand the Twins thinking though that they are selling high on him and could be coming off a career year. Lopez seems like a solid pitcher but don't think he is the true ace they need. Quote
SiouxBoys Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 The Twins absolutely fleeced the Marlins here. Really good trade by them. Quote
Wilbur Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Jump into spring training, and we've got Brooks Lee playing a lot already. Quote

Wilbur Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 I'm really going to miss Arraez. Guy was huge for Venezuela. Hitting third in that lineup....man.... Hope he has a great season in Miami, I'm a fan for life. Quote
Wilbur Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Bump.....ummm so.....who is excited for opening day? (Checks who they are playing....) Quote
sioux rube Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 It’s the Royals but the Twins held them to 2 hits Quote
