The Twins Have a Type When it Comes to Trades

[Battle ur tail off]

Sure, they have a type. Players that the rest of the league has figured out aren't worth trading for because of their injury histories. I wish they would quit trying to think they have outsmarted or cornered the market with this type of risky player. 

Overall, I like the way this FO manages the roster though. It seems as if they are aggressive which I like, and aren't completely afraid to spend money. As for their "philosophy" or whatever you want to call it with the handling of a pitching staff, manager using spreadsheets instead of brain, constructing a lineup full of guys that don't get on base or have high contact rates isn't fun to watch. 

 

PS Firing Rocco and hiring a new manager that is keen to analytics but does still use his gut/feel for the game and letting him do his thing without FO interference wins this teams 5-7 more games per year easy.

 

PSS They got hosed for Aarez. Might not even matter how good Lopez ends up being they may have traded Rod Carew in his prime.

http://It appears the Twins like to trade for pitchers that have history of injury or have injury since at least 3 starting pitchers have missed part or all of a season.

The Twins are doing their best to emulate the Rays. Unfortunately that plan can backfire, even for the Rays.
