    Is this conversation even relevant with the team up for sale? Maybe the new owners will be big spenders, nobody knows.

    Sano was finally hitting to all fields, hitting for average and power, then James Rowson left for Miami. Sano started to try and hit 600 foot homeruns on every pitch and his career went kaput.

    I read last week in a national report the tv money is only $8 million less than the previous year, yet payroll is $26 million less?

    Draft everyone who's last name is Lewis except Jerry.

    Most complete player I've seen since Puckett. Two fluke injuries shouldn't scare off signing him long term now. Wait and Boras knows the LA and NY teams are drooling with their checkbooks open.

    We already gave up too much not to sign him. I would think four year deal that by the end of the contract would be a bargain for the Twins. Four years at 45-50M.

    Agree with weitz41, gave up too much to let him walk. Sign him.

    When Rowson left for Miami is when the Twins hitting started going south. Rowson had Miguel Sano making contact, hitting to the opposite field, hitting for average. Now he's out of MLB.

    peterb18, I totally agree about Morneau being named lead analyst. I really don't understand what the bosses at FSN see, or worse yet, hear in Morneau? He analyzes every single pitch, talks and talks and talks.... My wife and I seriously miss Bert in the booth with Dick, as they were the best. Bert said just enough to make it interesting, and with humor. And Dick, you're partially to blame as you continually ask Justin questions, and then he talks and talks and talks..... We too turn the volume way down so we can barely hear Morneau, as Dicks voice is more pronounced. Muting the TV and turning the radio broadcast on is our first choice, but we DVR most games so that isn't as option.

    I see Gordon as trade bait. Unfortunately not much in return.

    Very funny article, but you forgot Sid's Sports Show, featuring Sid...... never mind.

    With James Rowson leaving for Miami last season, Sano took a giant step in the wrong direction. Improve or get traded season for him?

    Thank you, beautifully written. Friendship and baseball = love.

    I consider myself a baseball traditionalist, yet I think the DH should be implemented throughout MLB. There are simply too many terrible hitting pitchers and unnecessary pitching changes in the NL. As for other rule changes, I'll accept any for this season so we can have one.

    Brunansky in the Cardinal red. Also goes down as one of the worst trades in Twins history.

    One other thing, initially Kirby didn't have power, he developed it. I have high hopes Luis can do the same. If not, I'm extremely happy with a .333 hitting second baseman that wins multiple batting championships.

    When Arraez came up last season there was an immediate 'WOW" factor. His base hits, plate presence, and of course batting average. I never once experienced that factor watching Revere.

    This article actually makes me think we don't have a missing piece. And every time there's a comparison to not signing an "impact" pitcher, it's mentioned in a way the Twins "settled" for Donaldson. After seeing these numbers of our top three pitchers compared to the rest of the A.L., I'm ecstatic we instead "settled" for an "impact everyday" player rather than one who only plays every five.

    My day told me when I was a little boy (i'm turning 60 in May), never draft or trade for a "short armed pitcher". Not knowing really who Capps was at the time, when I saw him I said to myself, oh no, a short armed pitcher. Although he had a decent season after the trade, he quickly flamed out.

    Altuve: One World Series Championship cheating. Lombardozzi: One World Series Championship not cheating. How do you want to raise your kids?
