Offseason Blueprint: Cheat Off the Champs
Greglw3 replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I like this sort of plan. You read my mind! I think the Twins should boldly and aggressively spend the money and make the trades to build a world Series champion in the image of the 1972-1974 Oakland A’s, who won 3 consecutive world championships. They were considered to have a dynasty but Free Agency came in and Charley Finley sold Joe Rudi and got rig of just about everyone of value to save money. Calvin and Charley. I want to go right after a dynasty, 3 or more World championships in a row. The window is open. We should settle for nothing less!!! Win Twins!!!! -
Overall, I like it but I have a nagging feeling that acquiring Mike Moustakis to play 3rd, leave Polanco at short (even though he makes some bad plays on his errors, he does often make sensational plays...in Strat-O-Matic, I might rate him a 1 e25. With Moustakis at 3rd, Polanco at short and Sano at first makes the Twins formidable offense potentially even more formidable. Moustakis might be the only position player we need to acquire - I think Brent Rooker might be ready to beat out Jake Cave. Although I love Cave’s hustle, he’s not even major league average for a starting outfielder and with all the Twins’ injuries, we need major league offense at those positions. For example when, Kepler and Buxton (never a guarantee for being available) were both hurt, our subs out there were decidedly subpar. I think if Rooker had’t been injured, he might have been the guy to go to....his AAA numbers were pretty good and I sense he still has a big upside.

I would say Yes as a 5th starter candidate only or bullpen. I like his experience over Dobnak, Thorpe, etc. The big unknown is Graterol as a 5th starter. Depending on how things break, Graterol could be preferable there, or Salazar might have a bounce back season in him.
