  1. 162 games is a lot of coverage for 1 writer. They need some roaming writers to do highlight and human interest articles. I loved the Athletic before NY Times purchased it and now the ads being fed are almost as bad as free sites. As for Gleeman, his negativity didn't help him out at all! Telling the truth is fine, I just hate it when writers write with a grudge.
  2. We need impact arms and bats with gloves that play. Flora would be my choice, unless Tampa works a deal with someone not mentioned. That could be what the Twins are doing with Lackey, save some money for their next couple to go over slot
  3. 100% He was our next closer and homegrown on top of it! As of now, we don't even have a plan going forward.
  4. I am waiting for the mods to choke on carrots for their bashing of the Caratini signing. Talk about rubes running a site SMH. Do they have Alec Jackson huggy dolls?
  5. Exactly! Follow the Brewers script and lock up bats and trade pitchers before free agency. Ryan should be moved before the deadline IMO
  6. And since when was Jackson a legit backup? He hasn't ever hit in the majors and no other team wanted him. Jeffers is in his walk year too.
  7. Is there seriously no interest in Larnach anywhere? Everyone knows the Twins have 3 deserving guys waiting at AAA and yet all will wallow in St Paul until an injury. We have little to be excited about this year, let's get a good look at a few of these prospects.
  8. Kent was moved to full fulltime RP last year with Cleveland's AAA team and the #s look good. Have no clue if he was used in high pressure situations
  9. Having spent 6 days at camp, I believe Culpepper is our best option at SS right now. His range is superior to Lee, his arm looks better than Lee's and his bat has been far better than Lee. Maybe I'm being too hard on Brooks, but he looks like a super utility guy and not a MLB starting SS
  10. Didn't say anything about Bell, I like the signing
  11. Talked with an Asst GM from another team recently about Abel and this was his opinion. He said Abel gets flustered easily and couldn't handle the pressure in Philly. He thought Abel would do better in MN with less pressure on him and definitely not as much scrutiny as he got in Philly. Sure hope he is correct
  12. I know Tampa offered him $7 and Littel's agent wanted over $10. At this point, you could probably get Littell for under $10m
  13. Honestly, I don't care what kind of numbers you put out there, Arraez can hit a flipping baseball. As we are moving closer to sanity from all the moneyball dumb decisions, GMs still will employ guys that don't strikeout 100+ times for the hope of 15 HRs. See balll, hit ball, advance the runner. I would love to watch 9 Arraez type bats in our lineup
  14. Still gotta have Bux in there! Those 3 plus Bux and Wallner and you cover the OF, 1B and DH.
