Name someone who's ever turned down top dollar because he was afraid he was going to freeze his nuts off during a couple of games....in April. -
Wait until Alex Jones finds out about this!
-
We're talking about the major league level. Meyer and May were good additions for the future but I have no idea how signing Marcum, or someone like him, has anything to do with blocking them or any of these other burgeoning minor league talents you feel we have. Pitching will be better? It can't get much worse.
-
The only thing most people are arguing is, whether or not it makes sense to give away a year of service time for a couple of extra weeks with the big club, in a season that is going nowhere fast. Why is this so crazy?
-
It would appear that is their phiosophy for 2013, what have they done to think otherwise?
-
There, you're finally getting it.
-
Devries, Walters and Deduno all did move up, with less than stellar results that are only bound to worsen. Lotsa times it's simply a talent issue. Who exactly is sitting in AA or A ball that can't get a chance?
-
Trade Morneau http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/014.gif. Parms to 1st, Arcia to LF or RF. That opens the spot for Arcia, I won't get into who else they should be trading, doesn't matter as far as this is concerned.
-
Nitpick, it's Suter, but you're right. Odd that they were both offered a fair amount of money as well, don't you think?

LMFAO....hilarious!

I hope you don't work for Minnesota Tourism, might be a slow year. Listen, you'd have to have been living in a cave to not know this team's history of being frugal when it comes to free agents, it's an organizational philosophy, always has been. Argue whether that makes sense all you like but don't try to shove this nonsense down our throats that the Twin Cities is such a distateful place that no highly regarded FA baseball player for the last 51 years would ever consider playing here. It's fu**ing ridiculous!!! I'm not even from Minnesota and I find this offensive!
-
With respect those guys should be sitting in AAA, sorry but I'd have Marcum blocking those guys for as long as I could. I'll give you Hendriks, they need to find out if he's going to progress this year and he at least has enough upside to find that out. The Yankees, Sox and Dodgers, come on man, we're not talking Grienke or CC money here. You're right,it is about what makes sense, how does Marcum not make sense?
-
Ok fine, me too, but they didn't do that either, that's the issue.
-
Who would he have been holding back on a one year deal? Even a two year deal? So what if his value might have been as a trade piece, isn't that a good thing? Why should we be resigned to the Pelfreys and Correia's of the world when we have the money to do better?
-
I'm a fan of Diamond's but I doubt we see more than the pitcher we saw in Aug/Sept. I think the doubter's are the ones who will end up supporting Diamond for just what he is, I get the feeling people with overflated expectations are going to come down hardest on him when their balloon gets burst. Yes he was our best pitcher last year, think about what that actually means for a minute.
-
Well, how are the Mormon's going to feel about that one?
-
Do you honestly think none of us hope the Twins will win? I sure as hell do. I'm just realistic and informed enough to know that is highly unlikely and I'm extremely disappointed our FO did nothing to change that given ample means and opportunity. Go ahead and lead the blind faith brigade, if that's what you feel makes you a fan, all power to you. As a fan myself, I wish our FO showed a little bit more appreciation and respect to us and some of the players by making a better effort to put a viable product on the field. I hope they win, I just don't believe they will.
-
Beat me to it:D
-
I think your crystal ball might be broken.
-
No, additional signings won't change the fact Correia is here, that's not the point. The point is additional signings would indicate you're not telling the fans that Correia is the best you could do and that we should actually be grateful for it.
-
I understand your overall point but let's keep thing a little bit in perspective, Marcum is no "Ace" and if one year turns out to be true, that 's hardly forever. Not that I believe they'll sign him next year if they have the opportunity mind you.

Article: Seth's 2013 Top 30 Twins Prospects
twinsnorth49 replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Seth, where is Wimmers at with his rehab and where do you see him playing the majority of this year? -
This is true but most of the guys we have are different shades of Blech! One or two years to at least be marginally more competitive is something the team could have easliy afforded and there isn't much reason for them to have not done it.
-
I've given Ryan the benefit of the doubt on many things, mainly just taking a wait and see approach when it came to payroll spending, I actually am in favour of spending the money and believe it's the prudent thing to do, if only to increase the entertainment value for the fans. Missing Baker for $6 million hurt but not the end of the world by any means.The Correia signing was a kick in the nuts, but still, however hopefully or naively, I was willing to wait. This however, if anywhere close to $10 million for one year is true, is utterly inexcusable and like a thick loogie to the face of any fan. Marcum is nothing more than bland, middle of the rotation stuff on a good team, nothing to get to worked up about. But for a team so desperately in need of showing it's fans it actually gives a rat's ass about them, he represents an easy solution for that, and at one year does absolutely nothing to hinder anything. It's insulting.
