  1. Depends on your definition of "Ace", right? Yu Darvish has shown over his career that his "stuff" is "Ace"-worthy. Whether he can hold up for an entire season and carry the staff leaves some question marks. I was a little disappointed they didn't land him, but understand why. I'm of the belief you need talented depth to win (as are most), whether that means having one "Ace" I don't really know, or particularly care. Overall, I think the Twins added quite a bit of depth to this team over the winter, and at some point you've gotta hope (and plan) that some of your own guys can perform better. Maybe Berrios becomes our version of Dallas Keuchel, Santana turns in another quality year, Odorizzi returns to his best, and Gibby finally has the year we've been hoping for coming off a very solid second half last year (fingers crossed). Combine that with a significantly improved bullpen and one of the best offenses I've ever seen the Twins field, there's quite a bit of reason to be optimistic. Maybe none of those things happen and we lose 90 games, but all in all I think the FO made decisions I can get behind, which is pretty refreshing.
  2. Independent of any other moves, this isn't a terrible signing. Its a (cheap) flier on a guy who could benefit from a change of scenery, Target Field, and the Twins OF. In the context of the current state of the rotation and the lack of any other help for the 2018 staff, its incredibly disappointing.
