Ferris Bueller Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yeah, didn't he visit last week? If he goes, I'll miss him. He can be somewhat of a statue in right field (with a +++ arm), but he was the only leader in our clubhouse, and the only guy who SHOWED UP every day last season. He plays the game.

MrChupacabra Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Twins sign Doumit to 1 year, 3M deal. Hopefully this means we have to suffer through a lot less of Drew Butera and Rene Rivera at the plate in 2012. Also picked up a triple A bullpen guy from the Tigers, Brendan Wise. Haven't had much of a chance to look into his stats and whatnot, but he posted a 1.90 ERA last season in 50 games at triple A, which is a decent start. So far, I'm pretty happy about our offseason moves. Now we need to pick up a starter, another bullpen guy or 2, and figure out our closer situation. An OF with some power would be nice too, because I have a feeling that both Kubel and Cuddyer are going to be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Twins were reportedly in talks with Josh Willingham. Even further solidifies the possibility of Kubes and/or Cuddy signing elsewhere. I guess you want to have a backup plan in place if they go before the market goes dry.

MrChupacabra Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I really don't think we're going to be able to justify spending the sort of money that I think Cuddyer will be drawing from a club like the Phillies. And then with Kubel, there have definitely been rumors floating around that he wants to go somewhere with a more hitter friendly park, but who knows if there is truth to that. In all honesty, I think we could sign both Willingham and Kubel for less than we would have to pay Cuddyer, and I'd rather see us do that. Now that we've shored up our middle infield/catching situation a little bit, I think the priority is pitching. Send Duensing to the pen, as he's had success there, get Blackburn out of the starting rotation somehow, and sign at least 1 solid starter. For the 5th starting spot, I wouldn't mind seeing us sign a second starter as well, or maybe give Swarzak the opportunity to prove he can be a regular starter. If we stay with the same rotation we had last season, we're doomed. Pavano is a good inning eater, but realistically he's a 4th starter at best. Liriano is questionable and needs to get his shit together. Blackburn makes me want to cry. Duensing would be better utilized out of the pen. Baker is a promising 2 or 3 spot guy (3 or 4 on a team that actually has a good rotation) if he can stay healthy and continue where he left off last year. Our bullpen is too terrible for me to even begin to analyze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Kubel blah blah Cuddyer blah blah Willingham blah fucking Liriano blah Nick Shitburn etc I'm willing to make a bet that if we DO sign Willingham, it will be for one year. I think he's out looking to have a contract year. He's 32, been up and down in different organizations, and can be a offensive force. He hasn't made a ton of money either, and I'm guessing he wants to get paid what he thinks he is worth. 1 year deal would make sense for Terry Ryan because it wouldn't be a huge commitment and I think we're expecting to have Joe Benson ready for the majors come 2013. I can't wrap my head around why Kubel wants to play in a more hitter-friendly park. The guy can absolutely hit the piss out of the ball - he has hit several on the plaza, even bombs at Safeco. Maybe if he worked on his hitting against lefties, he might have less to complain (and worry) about. If Cuddyer signs elsewhere, I really, really hope it is in Philly. I'm not trying to tickle Ralph Lauren's balls or anything, but I think it would be a great town for him to play ball in. The whole pitching situation, I don't know. Blackburn is kind of the odd man out here. Two hard years, especially 2011. If he can get back to the 4.00 ERA, low BB count, complete game 200 inning-eating guy he was in 2008 and 2009, I'd be happy to have him. Two 200+ IP guys (Pavano) in the same rotation would be nice. And I really think Terry Ryan might be a catalyst in having Liriano get his ass in gear. He needs to pitch in the offseason in the Dominican League and work on his shit. Rick Anderson just needs to let the guy throw what he wants to throw and strike out who he can. That's what he does. Work on his mechanics and keep his arm and himself in shape (hence offseason leagues). I really think Baker is going to continue to grow into a good pitcher. But yeah, 2nd in rotation. Bring back Swarzak. We still need to sign a good 1st or 2nd spot in the rotation starter. I would really like Beuhrle, but he don't like us.

MrChupacabra Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 As I've stated before, I would love to have Beuhrle, but he's going to be out of our price range. We need someone though, thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
