    I like Audra Martin. Can't wait to see these two guys turn into MLB All-Stars though!
  2. SpicyGarvSauce
    Which says all that needs to be said about this front office, ownership, etc. If players don't see this place as desirable and a place to come to, where the heck do you think the issue starts?
  3. SpicyGarvSauce
    Exactly - Martin Perez isn't going to help this team. None of the guys mentioned above will do so, either.
  4. SpicyGarvSauce
    Exactly. How are any of these guys going to change the issues that face the Twins? The Twins don't need anymore 4th or 5th starters. I don't understand why that needs to be said again...and again, and again.
  5. SpicyGarvSauce
    Again, that is not what I am arguing. It is all relative - if the rest of the FA crop is less than desirable, of course he will rank higher. Point being, again - Lance Lynn was never going to come in and change the dynamic of the Twins and their postseason chances/ability to win a World Series. If you cannot see this, well, then so be it. Guys like Cole, Strasburg, etc....THOSE guys move the needle. The Lance Lynn's of the world, they do not.
  6. SpicyGarvSauce
    OK? It is all relative. In no way, shape, or form was Lance Lynn considered a "top FA" by all standards. He wasn't someone that was going to come in and change the Twins postseason fortunes, etc.
  7. SpicyGarvSauce
    Sorry, but Lance Lynn was not considered a "top FA pitcher."
  8. SpicyGarvSauce
    The type of Twins risk is re-signing a guy who may get caught taking PED's again. That is what the Twins consider as "taking a risk."
  9. SpicyGarvSauce
    The Twins are who we thought they were. Anyone surprised by the Twins not involving themselves in high priced players (don't give me the "They are supposedly in on Bum & Ryu" non-sense) are as gullible as it gets. We will get to enjoy Alex Wood and some 4th starter from the Marlins or Mariners in 2020. Can't wait!
  10. SpicyGarvSauce
    Isn't that a problem in and of itself? That players, free agents, DON'T want to come to Minnesota, no matter the years and money? Sorry pal, but that is an issue. It shouldn't be looked at as some comforting excuse or reason why the Twins can't land what people consider the "top" free agent(s) available.
  11. SpicyGarvSauce
    This would be your typical Minnesota Twins move - take someone off the scrap heap, who just got non-tendered by the CINCINNATI REDS, and make them your highlight of the winter thus far. Seriously, how can you people get behind ideas like this after watching the Twins's starting pitching take an absolute dump in the ALDS this past season?
  12. SpicyGarvSauce
    Face the reality people - the Twins will never, EVER give a pitcher the type of contract that it takes to land a front end of the rotation starter. Nev-er.
  13. SpicyGarvSauce
    Odorizzi- sign Pineda- sign Schoop- sign Castro- bail Romo- bail Gibson- bail Perez- bail Cruz (rhetorical) - duh
  14. SpicyGarvSauce
    Welcome to the new age of ballparks. A lot of places have started to go the route of Dodger Stadium, which I think is a pretty cool atmosphere. But I get the traditional sense and think that should still be part of the game day experience.
  15. SpicyGarvSauce
    I am willing to say that this is the most important off-season in Twins history.
  16. SpicyGarvSauce
    That is because the Twins refused to attack these guys (especially Judge) and throw them competitive pitches in general.
  17. SpicyGarvSauce
    Just saw this on Twitter... Since the Twins last postseason victory, every other team in the AL Central has played in the World Series with two of them winning the entire thing (Chicago & Kansas City). How pathetic is that?
  18. SpicyGarvSauce
    This is the same fan base that was chanting "over-rated" when Aaron Judge was at the plate. Yeah, clueless.
  19. SpicyGarvSauce
    I love all the optimism, but the Twins will not be signing Cole, Strasburg, etc. It just won't happen. The Twins have never invested that type of money in a SP, and it won't start now.
  20. SpicyGarvSauce
    You could see it coming, too. They were never going to trade for Grienke, or Syndergaard, or Stroman, or MadBum. Why? Because that is something the Twins have NEVER done under the ownership of the Pohlads. So anyone to expect something different, you were fooled. And we will continue to be fooled every single time the Twins have an opportunity to do something. Instead, this ownership would rather go for someone on the cheap who may provide a month or two worth of good output, only to watch the team go down in flames come October. The whole "we will strike when the window is open" is such a crock. The window opened back in April & May, and this ownership sat on their hands and put their faith in Martin Perez, Kyle Gibson, and others. Shame. On. Them.
  21. SpicyGarvSauce
    If you want a comp for Luis Arraez... It is Luis Castillo.
  22. SpicyGarvSauce
    Didn't bother reading through this thread and becoming depressed, but it was quite obvious what the game plan for both teams was... Twins were looking to get the Yankees to chase pitches outside the strike zone, and the Yankees weren't going to take the bait. The Twins pitchers were constantly behind in counts, and had to throw pitches in the zone, and the Yankee hitters knew. Really, it was quite obvious the Twins were so concerned with the Yankee hitters, and they have pitched scared. This entire series. Rather than attacking these guys in the zone, in their weak/cool spots, they opted to throw pitches out of the zone and try to get them to chase. No luck, and it has turned out terribly for the Twins.
  23. SpicyGarvSauce
    Thinking more on that - it was the same mentality under Terry Ryan, Bill Smith, Terry Ryan, and now Falvine. The one constant throughout all of those GM's? The ownership.
  24. SpicyGarvSauce
    Everyone wants to blame the roster, the players, the manager, coaching staff, etc...but this series/end result of this season, where everything was supposed to be different and the Twins were going to exercise all these demons...is 100% ON THE FRONT OFFICE. You can put together another 5-10 page thread on this and on that, but the number one reason why this team is headed towards another disappointing postseason is on the Pohlads, Lavine, and Falvey for not going out and getting a legit starting pitcher(s) to help this team. Instead, they didn't want to mortgage the future (again). What future? What has the FUTURE gotten the Twins over the last 20 years? 15 straight postseason losses, and an embarrassing stretch of games. Non competitive games, games where you never feel that the Twins have a chance. It is ridiculous, it is unacceptable, and it is downright negligent that this front office continues to have the mindset of "we cannot mortgage the future to help our team in the short term." Seriously, even Mark freaking Rosen was on the radio yesterday stating this...and how he 100% understands now and will agree with fans when/if they opt to not show up to Target Field in 2020, continue to rip the FO for their lack of moves, etc. Shame on this organization. Shame. On. Them.
  25. SpicyGarvSauce
    Yeah, was definitely a bit of a surprise when the lineup was posted. Figured with Arraez's ankle and Schoop being strong against LHP, he was an automatic start at 2nd. Hard to ignore a guy with an OPS north of .900 versus LHP when the opponent is starting a LHP.
