It seems that once again the Twins have been at work picking up pitchers. It seems that their strategy this off-season is the shotgun method, throw volume at things and hope you hit something. So far the signings have been for veterans like Kevin Correia, Mike Pelfrey , and Rich Haren. Two of the three have very questionable health/durability issues and none of them could be considered more than a #3 or #4 starter on most MLB pitching staffs.
It's clear that these moves are largely
I have to say I find it interesting to compare the mood on this site today with what I saw last fall. If I recall correctly, the majority of the posters were saying that next year (2013) doesn't...

I am hoping that Worley earns this honor. He seems to have the most upside of the likely candidates.

My internet brethren, I think it's fine to police our etiquette, but really the problem lies beneath the surface layer of snark and insults. There's a few posters here who purposely inflame...

After missing all of last season, we have absolutely no idea of where he is at right now. If he pitches really well this spring, his percentage will increase as we go along. I just think that he's...

Everyone knows that I'm incredibly high on Hendriks. Not that he can be a #1, but I think he can be equivalent to what Scott Baker was (which was a #3 with sometimes #2 abilities). He's got the same...

I like his attitude. He will be fun to watch, and we may have him around for years.

There is no upside, if it's obvious that he's not healthy. That's a distinct possibility, maybe even a likely one considering the contract. But we don't know, so there's no real way to measure the...

My '83 AMC Eagle stopped running. But instead of just buying a new Kia on sale for $15,000 and have it be a decent deal on a reliable vehicle (which I can afford), I'm going to jump at my buddy's '91...

Harden should not even figure into any equation of Twins pitching. If he contributes to the Twins this year it is all bonus and all good. In regards to the risk medically with Pelfrey there is none....

Option A: 31 teams foolishly choose not to risk four million (for a total of eight). Option B: There's legitimate concerns about Marcum's health. Look, Marcum could very well have a healthy...

I'm in agreement with the Twins Geek... the Correia bashing should stop now. We all know we don't like the signing, particularly the second year, but he is signed, so move on. Let's hope that he can...
