Well that's just great, now we're down to just five #6 starters. -
Given the ridiculous direction they're heading with their payroll, I wouldn't hesitate to give a 2nd year and some type of 3rd year vesting option. They're not spending that money anywhere else, there's no risk.

Only if the tails come off.

Article: Will Willingham continue to hammer?
snepp replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
He apparently can also be a moderately effective pitcher should the need arise. -
Like x10 It's gotten lost a bit amongst all the bitching we've been doing about the rotation, but the middle infield is shaping up to be another .600 OPS embarrassment.
-
There was no hindsight required to see that the Hardy trade was pure **** right from day one.
-
Hammer, Doumit, and Correia currently come off the books after 2014, where would a 2015 budget crunch come from? They aren't likely going to spend any big free agent money, so any significant budget increases would have to come internally. Other than Worley going through arbitration, where are the big ticket obligations going to come from? Unless the Twins plan to actually open the free agent purse strings in the next couple of offseasons, giving a free agent a 3-year deal now just isn't much of a risk.
-
Similar, but the ones I'm referring to go back to around the time that the stadium debate and the extend-or-trade Santana discussions were at their peak.
-
I have reports supporting the beliefs that they either offered crap, or offered nothing at all. Other than your opinion, what do you have to support it? If it's out there I want to see it. I'd love to be able to defend the front office by saying that free agents just hate us and refuse to play in Minnesota, despite TR offering to "make it rain," but the information available right now clearly suggests otherwise.
-
I never did find the specific articles I was looking concerning the budget, and any google searches that include budget and revenue inevitably lead to a mountain of irrelevant results. These were the same articles that included front office comments about 52% of revenue going to payroll, etc.
-
Exactly this. Unless the team's plan moving forward is to permanently lower the payroll to infuriating levels (the bull**** this offseason better be temporary), his signing would in no way impede payroll flexibility.
-
I'm still waiting on those reports of the Twins making quality offers to quality free agents, despite all the reports to the contrary.
-
Can we volunteer Correia to go?

Mackey: Twins Likely Done Making Significant Moves this Year

I'd have to say the Twins are the ones that have done the conditioning, I'm just following their lead.
-
Sad, but unfortunately true. It's unlikely the offense will be any better than last year, with a good chance of being worse.
-
Not possible, arms fall off after 100 pitches, it's science.
-
Would Correia be, even if completely healthy, an "innings eater" anyway? You still have to perform well enough to pitch deep into games.
-
NL Pitchers: .330 OPS AL DH's: .760 OPS For a bit of perspective, that would be like replacing Drew Butera......with Prince Fielder.
-
How do you know there were competitive offers? Hell, how do you know there were any offers at all? There hasn't been even the faintest whiff of a rumor surrounding any competitive offers to any quality free agents.
-
Apparently, because that fits the "defend the front office for the continually plunging payroll" narrative.

Mackey: Twins Likely Done Making Significant Moves this Year
snepp replied to East Coast Twin's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
No, we'll never know for certain, but it's a pretty safe bet given the complete lack of rumors and reports surrounding the team concerning quality starting pitching, that they either didn't try very hard, or at all. If a concerted effort had been there, chances are we would have heard something, anything. -
Night owl test. Edit: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

Ok, so that didn't work either. Bueller? Bueller? Approve my posts. Bueller?

IE test.
