Article: Twins Should Follow Blue Jays Bold Lead

[johnnydakota]

The point is that the Twins could do the same thing... they could add players that would generate greater enthusiasm by the fan base and thus with advertisers. But nibbling around the edges of the talent pool won't bring an extra nickel of revenue in. To sell more tickets and advertising, they would need to be bold enough to convince people they're serious about getting back in the hunt this year. That's what the Jays have done and there's no reason the Twins couldn't do the same thing.

amen look at ticket sales after fielder and albert were signed?

Terry Ryan has repeated, over and over, that he has never once been denied money when he asked for it, so yes, he is complicit in any decision not to spend to win, and to restrain the budget.

 

I also disagree 100% the Twins would still be terrible if Johnson, Buerhle, and Reyes were healthy all year. That's a lot more wins.

 

Have you ever considered the fact that the reason he gets the money is that he doesn't ask that often?

Yes,but I am hard pressed to think of when he got it....what player has he signed to get the team over the hump?

I think your post would more properly be described as an opinion, rather than a fact.
