    Twins probably going to sign rosenthal or some other good rp. but, really....nothing he said can’t be pieced together by anyone who follows the game closely.

    “Can’t we sign a starter who is always healthy and good for next to nothing?!” come on

    I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand. You pay him accordingly. If he wasn’t hurt all the time he’d make bank...

    Sorry fellas not sure what I did wrong here.

    The difference is piazza hit the snot out of the ball. And grandal is a good catcher. It’s a bad comp by a bad evaluator or talent.

    Wouldn’t be shocked if he renegotiated his contract at some point.

    I find it fascinating how many people want to make bad trades.

    On the plus side, we can have Gary Bobby tuxedo t-shirt night.

    Is this our first Aussie player?

    Kind of surprised he didn’t get more.

    Grandal reminds me of Catcher version of Alexei. He’s really good at it, but he makes it hard to tell sometimes. His biggest issue, in my opinion, is he doesn’t have a natural feel for pitch selection/reading the hitter. Not a small thing, but also easy to work around.

    “Dram up upside” was meant to be “dream on upside”

    I call dibs on devito

    It isn’t you. The way it’s described is misleading. The typical way to describe a contract is MaxYears/MaxMoney, but this contract is unique and general talk about it has been confusing and misleading. I like the deal. It’s basically the Will Smith deal with an innovative compromise for a “4th year” love or hate Hahn, he is good with contract structure.

    I guess the big difference is that at no point in this contract is it actually 18M/per for for some reason some people can’t comprehend that
  18. Blackout Friday
    That’s a good argument. And I makes me feel better about it. But the way I see it, we already have some high upside arms in-house whereby we can dream on upside. Burnes saw his for a decent stretch, but I’d rather get a boring innings guy for only money and see if our guys can fill out the rest.

    Isn’t the 40 man at 39? otherwise Zavala is a candidate, too
  20. Blackout Friday
    I know Burnes was phenomenal last year, but he was putrid in 2019 in a roughly equal sample. His pitch data changed significantly, also, but I need a better track record for that package.

    I think Tyler Flowers makes a lot of sense.
  22. Blackout Friday
    Haha well hey that’s just my observation. I’ve been wrong before.
  23. Blackout Friday
    I think his best shot is with another organization, personally.

    The difference is Harold never claimed or tried to “break” info. That said, it’s entirely plausible the food guys get info, but not enough to know when things are done. Either way I don’t get the hand wringing. If Harold already knows everyone why does he care?

    I’d be fine with Collins and going from there, but was reading an interview with Mickey Tettleton on FanGraphs where he mentions how particular Tony was about certain guys catching certain pitchers. It got me wondering whom he might have in mind as a backup. thoughts?
