    If only there was some sort of scientific device that could have predicted this seconds wave of rain.

    Tillman might strike out a million this game.

    Well, they should stop. Statistically speaking, the odds of good weather on April 4th is almost the same as on April 11th. 1 year out of 20 maybe. Not nearly enough to justify passing up the allure of OPENING DAY vs "opening day"

    MLB must have the premium subscription to Farmers Almanac

    2/3 of the OF is covered by Byron Buxton, the rest is covered by Eddie Rosario. I think that's how that goes

    For the 6th time in 7 years, MLB starts the Twins on the road. Funny... Detroit never has had a problem getting opening day games at home, and their average high temperature, in early April, is 2 degrees COLDER than Minneapolis.

    I predict this game starts at 6pm EDT.

    Many good thoughts, but I think you just missed on one important point, that sort of relates to complacency and cheapness, though not necessarily directly.... The Twins are risk averse. You mentioned some of this risk aversion, but missed what I think is our most harmful risk aversion. Contract Extensions. The Twins are so desirous of cost certainty that as soon as someone shows promise or exceeds their current contract the front office becomes terrified of "what if they keep performing like this.... they are going to ask for a huge contract." I can't think of a single recent example of this working out in the Twins favor.

    I disagree with the premise that a 79 win projection is depressing.

    I think the point here isn't that they could be spending $120M. An extra $12M doesn't move the needle that much. The point is they could be spending $150M. THAT moves the needle. As stated above, Detroit was at $175M last year. Their revenue is a little higher than the Twins', but not that much higher. I know. I know. They've got an owner that really wants to win. There should be 29 other owners in that boat, but I guess having an owner committed to success is an aberration.

    I did the math on this a while back, but if he magically cut his K's in half, he would project to be an annual MVP candidate. Edited to add: Here's the link to the math: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/18595-adam-brett-walker-ii-my-case/ That was in June, so the numbers are from roughly a half season. If I have time today, I'll do a similar thing for his full season.

    His ultimate value might be two more years of arbitration followed by a QO,

    What about Rosario's plus arm and plus-plus accuracy?

    Interesting that an NL team claimed Pinto

    I'd take Nathan on a low-guarantee deal. Pass on the rest.

    Not exactly on topic.... Can Tyler Duffey be Brad Radke? I think by just about anyone's definition, Brad Radke wasn't an ace, but he was a solid #2 or really good #3. Why can't Tyler Duffey be that? Of all the players on the Twins, he's the only one that reminds me of Radke.

    There's nothing wrong with them being lottery tickets. It just struck me that this list was comprised almost exclusively (except for Reed) of long-term project, high upside guys. As opposed to the previous few lists which seemed to have more "We'll be happy if he ever contributes to a major league roster" type guys

    Let's nickname this list "The Lottery Tickets"
  19. amjgt
    I would have liked to have seen Duffey get a couple 5th place votes.

    So was I. I just don't understand why we suck at them so much

    Did Aviles get confused about who was in RF?
  22. amjgt
    Hmmm... Other teams seem to know how to bunt. Why don't we?

    People that don't care about $40k, don't mention ATM fees on their twitter feed.
  24. amjgt
    He shouldn't have helped out his team so much in the playoffs.... he might have made another $40k

    Changing the topic slightly... What's Beresford's ceiling? He seems to have a hit tool, but not really anything else (although I can't speak to his defense) Good Nick Punto?
