Sigh. You do realize that you're propping up a strawman here, right? Just as the "gardy haters" are often irrational in their hatred of the man, you come off as the polar opposite in this post,...

This thread is more evidence that no matter what the Twins front office does it will be criticized. If they call up young guys it is either too early or they are cheap because they didn't sign a...

You can't trade your best players and think you are coming out ahead.

Here's the problem - and if we can get the problem statement correct we have 90% of the solution worked out - so here it is: Strikeouts can be context critical. There are innings and situations where...

He was non-tendered and became a free agent. Doesn't change the fact he was mediocre in AAA last year and has already been hurt this year. Just because the Twins signed two less than ideal options...

Who ever had Hendrix as a highly rated singer or songwriter? Hendrix himself admitted that he had a horrible voice and was very uncomfortable singing other people's works. And he was much more...

There was a lot of hand-wringing last year about what the Twins did and did not do in the free agent market, most of which was based upon analysis of previous statistics and predictions based on them...

This. Not only did the 2012 FA class only feature two 1/2 pitchers (3 if you count Dempster), the guys behind them were full of question marks--all of them. I have some hope for this next offseason,...

I for one have consistently said I'm all for signing free agents. But it makes no sense to throw your money at guys just because you have the money. If there aren't free agents who are likely to be...

Seriously, who did you want? Ryan has made some good sensible free agent additions that helped the team now without risking future payroll - Willingham, Doumit, Correia. Should the Twins have...

That statement cuts both ways, of course. I've seen that done on all sides of this issue.

So people would support 6/120 for Sanchez or 8/200 for Greinke? Otherwise you are raging against a fantasy. I think those contractswith would be a mistake. The rest of the FA class was pretty...
