Dallas Keuchel is on his 5th team after it appeared his career was finished. On a minor league contract> Pitching is thin in the major leagues. Pitching is thin in the minor leagues as well Gunkel and Tozak prove that. Sorry if the names are misspelled

Dobnak did not sign a one year contract.. Dobnak might be the best reason why not to sign a back of the rotation starter to a long term deal. Dobnak is a great reminder how injuries can affect a career. Dobnak is also the great reminder of how the great store for fans becomes tar and feathers

Nope, the quote never existed. It is only an allegation because nobody thought to save a videoclip ot a link to the article. One must footnote their words now

Your comment was the cupboard was bare.. For pitching it was. I did not feel the need yo resist the pitchers but I guess one has to remove all doubt as memory seems to fall after a post. Considering that this is the 8th season of the regime, 3 is about right. Consider how different the 91 team was from 1987 and that was only four years

Landon Leach, Blayne Enlow, Charlie Barnes say hello Traded pitching prospects like Legumina and Gipson Long have not done anything of note so there really shouldn’t be any crying over their trades

Rapsodo did not come out until 2016, Trackman was prohibitively expensive. Whether or not the Twins would have went that way eventually is unknown. I doubt that anyone on Ryan’s staff will say the answer.. Falvey one tome did say it was a barebones operation. I remember looking at the front office roster listed. Where there was one person there now seems to be 304. Lots of assistant GMa. The tickets sales people with more staff are not doing a great job.

10 of the 25 pitchers on the 40 man roster or 60 day dl were drafted or signed by the Twins. 5 more were brought in by trade as prospects. Jax is the only one not brought in by this FO. They remixed a pipeline, they did not say it had to solely be by the draft. Berrios, Jay, Gonsalves, Stewart, Burdi, Meyer, Thorpe, Chargois, Eades and Zach Jones with Cedroth and Jorge getting C grade and Taylor Rogers being listed as a player of note were the top ranked pitchers in the system according to Sickles when Falvey took over. Cupboard was kind of bare. It was going to take a while

Twins Payrolls Since 1988 vs. MLB (Cheap Pohalds?)

There are fewer companies owning refineries than baseball teams. Most of the processed food is made by 5 companies. What is a normal business that has on average over 300 million in revenue? -
Reviewing the Jorge Polanco Trade
old nurse replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
At age 34 with an injury history Topa should be smart enough to grab any offer the Twins make. The alternative would probably be a minor league deal -
Jason Adam on a reasonably inexpensive contract was trade for a top 100 prospect
-
0 fer the Yankee, Baltimore and Cleveland so far this year, what could they possibly have traded for that would make that up?
-
You ignore the fact that the teams don’t get approachable better. The information you linked showed it. For the Twins to have become appreciably better they would have had to trade for Miami’s closer, Arozarena, and Eflin. For salary purposes they would have had to move two of Margo, Kepler and Vasquez without eating contracts. Considering what the trade for cost, and the prospect capital needed to get another team to take on money you could essential kiss 3/4 0f your 5-20 rated prospects goodbye
-
Did you bother to read the zips table you linked on the increase in percentage chance of winning the World Series after all the trades were made? Only Baltimore and the Dodgers significantly increased their chances. In terms of making the playoffs, did any team significantly make a change to make their team with a better shot to get in the layoffs than the Twins? Any trade is risk reward. There really wasn’t enough to trade fr that was going to make the Twins World Series contenders

The trade deadline offered baindaids at emergency room prices fr some Dee wounds

Proof? Thought so

Understanding What the Trade Deadline Means These Days
old nurse replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Toronto netted a poor hitting reserve outfielder. The infield prospect is a 26 year old that is now Toronto’s 22 ranked prospect The new third ranked prospect is viewed on fangraphs as a potential 4th starter. That is not a haul of talent -
Chisholm may be a inference maker in New York,
-
While Lorenzen is a better 5th starter than what the Royals have I don’t think his ceiling is as high as Festa’s. In the playoffs he becomes the long reliever. If you need a long reliever the game is already lost and you could throw anybody out there
-
Yet the Twins still retain a very much higher percentage chance of making the playoffs than those trailing them in the standings.
-
You are the one complaining they do not go for it. I am pointing out the fallacy of that statement.
-
I think the announcers are employed by the Twins but the rest is paid for by Bally’s. You have to add the cost of production to your attendance figures
-
Told you he wouldn’t be traded
-
Proof?

They went for it withe the Mahle and Lopez trades. All it created was more derision.
