They sold fewer tickets and didn't make the playoffs. Call it an educated guess.

No. They can re-sign him to a one year deal for less. Although if he's smart, he'll go to the NL like every other looking for a big deal after a nice single season.

Look at his front foot and hips when he swinging. There's good reason for that.

His mechanics are terrible and he looks like he's afraid to stay in...especially against LH pitching. Either he gets over it, or he doesn't. Right now, he's no where close and is swinging at pretty...

He's been very good this year and deserved the AS nod over Willy, but he hasn't been anywhere close to being worth every penny of $23M. Even if he was a full time catcher, his numbers are probably...

Most likely sellers. But you can wait 10-14 more games and see. If they go 11-3 and are 3 games back, then I'd keep who they have. They can unload Capps regardless. I don't think the pen is worse...

He has a team friendly deal. Unless the Twins are convinced that they won't be any good until 2015, they should keep him unless they get a ton for him. The OF guys in the minors don't appear to be...

Good for him. $5000 for a start is cheap for the team and is a hell of a lot better than he's getting in AAA.

I would give Morneau away if the team was willing to take his salary. Remember, that the $14M that he's making can be used on someone who can actually still excel in the bigs.
