There's a key point here that people seem to be missing- if you were a 28-yr-old stud pitcher with multiple bidders for your services, would you be excited to go to a 96-loss team? These guys were...

Give me Carroll as the every day SS over Florimon and Escobar.

Terry Ryan has been pretty clear that he wants to follow the blueprint laid out by Atlanta and Kris Medlan. Gibson will start the season in the bullpen. Gardy wants Hicks to be his CF. Hicks will...

The front office is actively sabotaging the team? Do you also believe that the moon landing was done in a studio in New Mexico? Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.

Yes, but he'll make $490,000. The veteran utility guys cost $1-2.5 million. Why spend the extra. 1 year, $2M?? At worst, he'll be overpaid like $0.5M. If he plays more than 'just a utility...

You have to evaluate who the player would have been replacing. And in Correia's case, it's a bunch of really bad players. Hell, the guy was worth .9 WAR last year even though he was tossed out of the...

A 30% Improvement is a great improvement. It might still be failing, but it is improvement. Your make-believe poor parenting is not really germane to the discussion, though. The Twins signed a...

Of the 38 'fly ball' hits Diamond surrendered, 31 of them were XBH, 16 Homers and 4 Triples. Fair to guess they were mostly well hit balls that caught fence or one hopped into the stands. I assume...

Twins got lucky with Diamond. I think he'll be a solid guy in the rotation for a long time. He will never be spectacular because he doesn't miss enough bats and will perform better with a better...

Wait - does this mean that TR is not the worst GM in the history of the game? All of the "Twins front office is clueless" posters on this website can't all be wrong, can they? :confused: ...

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...

I'm with this. Hick's history has been as a slow-adjuster before he demonstrates mastery at a particular level. Even if he meaninglessly has a ST line of .450/.550/.950 there's absolutely no harm in...

Than you should be happy as I would consider Worley a legitimate #3.

And so should every other GM who passed on this deal? Doesn't the fact that Marcum only netted a single year deal from a bad team tell you something about his perceived value and health prognosis? ...
