    Where are the prospects we got for him? Are they going to amount to anything? All this talk of buying or trading for a top pitcher we when had a good one to start with.
  2. MABB1959
    It’s always “next year”. And there is the fact that not many prospects survive. I feel like we wait forever and then they are injured most often. Don’t you get sick of next year?
  3. MABB1959
    First place in the AL Central isn’t much to brag about. When they fall out of 1st I don’t think they would get a wild card.

    Most teams would fire their manager after yesterday.

    Remember when a album got a scratch and it would repeat over and over? Seems we have been listening to the same album for more than 10 years. That is what it is like being a Twins fan.
  6. MABB1959
    I sometimes wonder if they purposely set the team up to lose so they have excuses to let the Correa’s of the world go and go into the wait till next year mode.
  7. MABB1959
    The Twins MO. Not this year. Go get C-D players just to do something. Yes they got Correa last year but all that did is give us a bit of hope for this year and get people to buy tickets but the short lived Correa era is nearly over so why not go out and buy big. Sick to death of waiting for the promising young core that never seem to get here MLB ready and when they do get here they are too injured to last a season.

    They absolutely should get help with pitching or what is the sense of owning a MLB team? Seems profits is the reason the Pohlad's own a MLB team.
  9. MABB1959
    Why not? We should be playing in the sandbox every year.
  10. MABB1959
    Exactly. If they had any luck getting prospects to above MLB average or even MLB ready is not very good. By the time some get here they are plagued with injuries. The only successes (above average) are Buxton and Berrios and only one of those left the other traded for below average prospects. If they were average or above they would be here now!
  11. MABB1959
    2 good starting pitchers, a closer and dependable bullpen to start with. Getting Correa for just one year? There is really nothing left after him. Plus they can afford all of these. I don't know what team you have been watching for the last 10 years but it is always hoping for prospects to be ready AND contribute or signing a veteran on the last leg of their careers hoping to get a decent year.
  12. MABB1959
    So trade Simone for a decent pitcher after we traded Berrios for him? I don't know why we continue to fool ourselves into believing they will make a decent trade or even a blockbuster trade. They show no signs of keeping Correa. I have a hard time believing they want to improve the team at all. Eventually you would think this would really hurt revenue which is $268 million, salaries 137 + operating expenses. If they really wanted a winning team they would have kept Berrios, go all out on Correa and adding another above average starter and IMO a whole new bull pen or at least have a good closer. TEAM IS WORTH 1.39 BILLION.

    If they want to win they have to spend. If not we will go on our merry way hoping for a great player to emerge.
  14. MABB1959
    Probably a stupid question but why get a SS for you top pick. We have Lewis (or is he a wasted #1) and hopefully they get Correa back. I could understand needing a back-up SS but certainly there would be a decent pick farther down
  15. MABB1959
    They need to buy buy buy! Figure out who is not going to make it and let them go. Sick of waiting for prospects to be MLB ready or even worse letting our MLB players go for more prospects!
  16. MABB1959
    IMO....this organization is not very good at developing, especially pitching. So draft some good ones and trade them for MLB ready average-above average pitchers. Seems we wait forever for nothing.
  17. MABB1959
    Who cares about cost? They have the money and if they go far in the playoffs it will pay off this and next year. We have to stop going cheap and play with the big-boys!
  18. MABB1959
    Twins seem to be in lower BP salaries. They need to pay to play. I think this year is a perfect year to spend $$ on high quality BP pitchers. For goodness sakes we don't really even have a closer>
  19. MABB1959
    Get them all!
  20. MABB1959
    I don't count on Kepler at all.

    "First it needs to be a contender. Second, needs to be a contender who has a need at SS. Third they need to be a contender with a need at SS who has quality prospects to trade." Enough of the quality prospects. Thought the ones we got for Berrios were quality. Aaron Hicks, huge bust. Even the ones we draft never seem to make it. Two things to consider. 1. Are the Twins going to get prospects up to a major league level? 2. Seems the ones we draft never make it. Lot's of injuries? Spending too much time in the minors? I just want a team or at least players to root for. Arraez, Polanco, Correa and Buxton are they only ones that seems to be high end major league quality. The rest you just hold your breath that they get better or stay healthy
  22. MABB1959
    Make him an offer he can't resist! We will never get there if we don't start keeping some of our higher performers. Buxton can't do it alone. I don't care if "this is not our year". We keep doing start overs like letting one of the best pitchers go for 2 prospects that don't look all that promising. Yes Berrios is struggling but I have no doubt nor does his team that he will figure it out. Heck having a starter that typically goes 7 innings and is never injured would be great.
  23. MABB1959
    I love his work ethic, is never injured and consistently pitches 7 innings. He is amazing for the most part. Glad his team believes in him. Toronto's W/L record is very good when he starts.
  24. MABB1959
    Is he unhappy in Toronto?
  25. MABB1959
    Sounds good. Just need to acquire at least one more very good starter no matter what the cost. As well as keeping Correa no matter the cost. I don't even know how to attempt to get a better bullpen.
