  1. They all just try to imitate each other. For every star veteran that fell off the face of the earth in their prime I will show you 100 prospects that never made it. Instead of trading berrios why not improve the pitching staff instead of continually subtracting from it?
  2. Sweet, never play anyone over 25 then. They might suck at some point,
  3. Well, can you see why this might be frustrating for someone who only wants their team to win to see said team take three steps back for every step forward year after year after year? They aren't losing money. The only thing preventing the Pohlads from building a winning team is themselves. Enjoyed the back and forth!
  4. There's no rule preventing the Twins from paying people. And disappointment quickly converts to apathy.
  5. Yes, and they've already weeded out the possibility of being a bust by having a long career of success. Acquiring prospects does nothing for me. They'll either be awful and we'll keep them too long or they'll be good and we'll trade them for more prospects. At no point will this formula amount to winning unless you keep your good players.
  6. This trade only makes me hate baseball more. Martin will be ok but Woods Richardson has been awful. Berrios is as certain a thing as there is.
  7. Trade deadline day is easily my least favorite day of the year. It's always crappy teams giving away their stars to the same 5 or 6 teams (and "surprise" team) each year. Look how easy it is for the Dodgers and Yankees to get whoever they want, yet 95% of the other teams refuse to do it. We always take about the king's ransom we can get for our players but it never plays out like that. It's always just middling garbage who, if we're lucky, might be a decent player for a month or two.
  8. Rooker reminds me of Brian Buchanan and I assume he'll have a similar career where he hangs on for a few years, never getting consistent at bats, hits lefties decently, struggles vs righties and is an afterthought in five years. Hopefully I'm wrong and he is Nelson Cruz.
  9. I'm intrigued by this guy at least. Sabathia's breakdown "I like his swag " convinced me.
  10. I liked the Ruben Sierra, Juan Castro, etc levels of achievement.
  11. Until the team gets serious about fielding a pitching staff with legitimate major leaguers what's the point? Berrios, Maeda, Duffey, Rogers, and Alcala are the only guys on this pitching staff that should be given a chance next year.
  12. It would not surprise me to see San Diego trade Tatis within a couple years like most other "small market" teams do soon after signing a star player, whether it be Arenado, Stanton, or Knoblauch.
  13. Not concerned about losing Wade but I am concerned about acquiring Anderson. I'm not going to take any stock into 15 innings of 2020 but he looks like he walks too many and gives up two many home runs. They traded for him to pitch him and a 1.53 career WHIP does not excite me.
  14. Rosario is the type of personality that will just destroy the Twins every time he faces them. The new Gogo.
  15. At least he makes contact and can field. Fun fact: I went to a Braves-Yankees game in New Yankee Stadium in 2012 or 13 and we were wearing baseball jerseys and hats on the subway when a young guy asked if we were at the game. We said yes and he said he was teammates with Simmons in college and proceeded to flip through this facebook page and show us pictures of them together.
  16. Wish we hadn't traded for Maeda. A Hansel and Graterol bullpen that got eaten by the rest of the AL would have been fun.
  17. Especially since they spent two years telling us he was basically Rod Carew. I have no interest in Semien. Thus far, he appears to be like every other Twins where his career year was joke of a 2019 season where pitching was dreadful.
  18. I look forward to watching him in St. Paul.
  19. I would rather have Polanco and Arraez than Semien and Polanco. Semien would have fit in well with the 2019 Twins, a career year when balls are flying all over and out of stadiums.
  20. Since I expect serious regression for both of them, hopefully these additions can fool people for a June through September once the front office has given up on the first two.
  21. Cave would never have caught that so Graterol would have been throwing his glove for a different reason.
  22. Kubel vs Rivera is exactly what I thought off when I heard Kiriloff was on the roster. Even though, to be fair, Kubel has a fair number of ABs in September.
  23. I still would have done Buxton and Lewis for Syndergaard last year, even knowing now that Thor would miss all of 2020.
