  1. But Dobnak is better than we think! Just look at his minor league numbers, and incredibly SSS at the major league level.
  2. Yeah, but wait to see how many people the Twins have "engaged" with or "reached out" to...can't wait!
  3. One. One example of it working out. That is it.
  4. The Twins already have enough fringe options to fill those roster spots. Why waste time going after external options?
  5. I like Audra Martin. Can't wait to see these two guys turn into MLB All-Stars though!
  6. 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?
  7. Exactly - Martin Perez isn't going to help this team. None of the guys mentioned above will do so, either.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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."
  12. 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!
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. Odorizzi- sign Pineda- sign Schoop- sign Castro- bail Romo- bail Gibson- bail Perez- bail Cruz (rhetorical) - duh
  17. 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.
  18. I am willing to say that this is the most important off-season in Twins history.
  19. That is because the Twins refused to attack these guys (especially Judge) and throw them competitive pitches in general.
  20. 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?
  21. This is the same fan base that was chanting "over-rated" when Aaron Judge was at the plate. Yeah, clueless.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. If you want a comp for Luis Arraez... It is Luis Castillo.
