    Come again? You've mocked the Pohlads and Ryan for driving down payroll and buying more Brinks trucks for all the money they've swindled the fans out of but now you're ok with them not spending money? Saunders isn't exactly a jewel but if they do end up signing him he immediately upgrades the rotation and at least gives some indication they're willing to spend some money.This is the exact type of signing youve been advocating for weeks. Regardless of the "type"of pitcher he is, he's had a decent track record of success and has consistently put in his innings, it would be a beneficial move with virtually no downside.

    Because they're not entitled to your opinion?

    The only one I'll disagree with is Parmelee, the guy bashed an 1,102 OPS in AAA last year, I think he's earned a fair chance to show he can do it with the big club.
  4. twinsnorth49
    A couple of decent AA prospects? I don't think anyone is going to part with that for Lohse, maybe some low A prospect, the plural is pretty hopeful.
  5. twinsnorth49
    Or that spending money doesn't necessarily guarantee improving the product.
  6. twinsnorth49
    It would be him? Surely we would have flipped him for a player to be bitched about later any how.

    Pot, meet kettle.
  8. twinsnorth49
    That part, right there.....and then piling on. But you'll be admonished for opening the dead dove as well. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/1087.gif

    I yelled a disparaging remark about his pitching from the stands once, he was facing my direction, does that count? http://www.websmileys.com/sm/happy/045.gif

    I make no secret of my disdain for Blackie but it's reserved for his lack of pitching ability. I'm guessing he knows that, being that we've never actually met and all.
  11. twinsnorth49
    You're referring to the one guy in this thread who even used that phrase?
  12. twinsnorth49
    No, barely and you're right, I concur with Fro, thus the use of the word "also".
  13. twinsnorth49
    I was hoping it was going to be something new and different, silly me.
  14. twinsnorth49
    I'm also saying his post are largely incoherent, no cheap shots. You take the sensitivity police thing a little too far my friend.
  15. twinsnorth49
    I think most people agree with this, at what point do you move on and stop bitching about it?
  16. twinsnorth49
    I'm on my 3rd CPU because of JD.
  17. twinsnorth49
    Stelmaszek, check, Liddle, check Vavra, check......
  18. twinsnorth49
    No, just a capable starter or two.
  19. twinsnorth49
    I agree, I wish we never had to trade Santana, I wish we would have kept Dickey, I wish, I wish, I wish................nope, not working.
  20. twinsnorth49
    At this point Lohse is not worth the pick considering where this team is headed, let alone the money.
  21. twinsnorth49
    Yes, holding TR accountable to his words is fair, I have no problem with that. Sure, extending Marcum is possible but going into 2016 he would be 35, how long would he want? If it's another 3, being that it would likely be his last deal, I'd rather wait to go that route after this year in order to get someone more likely to contribute through the initial contract. If the 2015 team does end up being one moving towards contending in 2017-18 then add a guy like Marcum then as well. My opinion does not account for the likelihood of that happening however.
  22. twinsnorth49
    I'm glad someone finally had the sense to point this small detail out. Thank you.
  23. twinsnorth49
    At this stage is the only point in signing Marcum to go from a completely half ass team to a kind of half ass team for this year and possibly next? If signing a decent starter to 3 years is necessary. why bother with this year when they will only have a chance to make any real difference is in he last year of the deal, when the team will only be on the cusp of being competitive anyway. Yes, TR said he was going to sign a significant arm but at this point, why bother, it's not likely to make a damn difference this year.
  24. twinsnorth49
    So a combination of what? Ryan and the Pohlad's? Or the combination of Ryan being stubborn and underestimating the market? Where are you going with this? All I stated was that I don't think it's entirely Ryan's unwillingness to spend and that the Pohlad's likely are playing a role. If you actually read it, I'm mainly agreeing with you. You've made your case pretty strongly on Ryan, this just seems gratuitous.
  25. twinsnorth49
    Read the post I was responding to. The poster indicated the Pohlads are willing to spend on a winner but it's Ryan's fault for not spending the money, that's just more than a little naive IMO.
