They still don't. :-(

Who came up with this headline? Did you write about the Twins biggest weakness and how Morrison did/did not address it? I think the biggest weakness is starting pitching (as others have noted) but based on the headline I assumed that another weakness was going to be discussed. Disappointed.

Great read.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I hate the Correia signing because it was for 2 years at a time when there were plenty of other similar pitchers available.

Of course, but the Rangers are not trading Profar.

It wasn't your argument, however it does provide some support for that statement.

Where is your evidence that Doumit is one of the better DHs in the league? I think he had a good year last year, but for me, the eye test wouldn't put him among that group. Now maybe his production would put him in that group, but you need to support your arguments. Just stating it doesn't make it so.

The problem is that Mauer is their best #1, #2, and #3 hitter. If only he could hit in all three at the same time.

I know it's just a typo, but Knoblauch was not AL MVP in 1991. He was the ROY.

Further examination of his career causes me to think that last year was an aberration. His numbers this year currently support that conclusion. Plus, at 28 it is unlikely that he will get any better. The Twins should stop signing reclamation projects because it does NOTHING to improve this team. They need to concentrate on adding proven major league talent this off-season.

This is a difference without a distinction. Since they own the team, ballpark revenues belong to the Twins owners. So whether they reach into their personal bank accounts or use ballpark revenues is irrelevant. We may be dissapointed that they don't spend more on payroll, but that has nothing to do with how they are paying for their share of the stadium.

Your point about not using the AS game to determine home field advantage in the World Series is spot on. The team with the best record should get the home field advantage.

The ideal spot would be Texas. After losing the last two World Series, I can see them spending the resources to increase their chances for the next couple of years. They have room for an upgrade at 1B and they have the prospects to deal. How's this for a lineup: Kinsler, Andrus, Hamilton, Beltre, Morneau, Young, Napoli, Cruz, Murphy. Hopefully they can get one of Martin Perez, Neil Ramirez, or Jurickson Profar.

I smell sarcasm.

The Twins should publish nutritional information for the menu. Then again, I probably don't want to know.
