  1. To quote Bob Dylan, " The Times they are a changin"...
  2. Hopefully they have a short leash on him, and if he sucks they move Reed into the closer role.
  3. Winning puts butts in the seats, period. Look at the attendance during the recent 5 year decline. If this FO puts out a winning team on the field consistently they will sell tickets, Mauer or no Mauer.
  4. Frankly, from what I've seen so far this spring, it looks pretty iffy. He bounced a throw to first playing second the other day and rushed and bounced one playing SS today.
  5. Because it's time to give Garver his shot, he's earned it. Gimenez hasn't going to settle for 3rd string catcher waiting in AAA. Sometimes you have to roll the dice a little.
  6. Meh, I wasn't too excited about this signing. Hopefully he has a short leash if he sucks.
  7. Topic is pretty self explanatory, make your guess.
  8. The problem of rushing players is that you start the service clock ticking. Teams like the Twins can't afford to waste 2-3 of the cost controlled years of the player "learning the ropes" at the MLB level.
  9. C'mon, what's he going to say, I just want to eat cheeseburgers? Oh, wait.....
  10. Well, if he was "fixed" then why did Tampa Bay trade him for a single good but not great prospect?
  11. So why haven't other teams just as desperate as us for pitching signed him before now? Plenty of teams could use a league average pitcher, especially at the price we paid.
  12. Another post referenced a response made by Molitor that apparently the Twins see something in the analytics that suggest Sanchez is better than is numbers indicate. So apparently our analytics dept has gone from basically the bottom of the heap to being able to see things that even all the other teams that have very good/great analytics departments can't/don't see. Count me as skeptical.
  13. And it's stupid, if that's what they are doing. Wasting a year of their young cost controlled players, hoping to hit the lotto.
  14. Maybe we can sign Kevin Correia and Tommy Milone too.
  15. "Jose Berrios, Kyle Gibson, Adalberto Mejia, Phil Hughes, Tyler Duffey" Good lord that's a mediocre starting rotation.
  16. Tampa Bay usually wins the trades with us. Beware.
  17. You can make that argument for just about any pitcher.
  18. Well, you could buy a team and spend 100% of the profits on player salaries. Good luck with that.
  19. yeah, let's waste another year of our cost controlled players while we fiddle around with more retreads. It's such a common winning formula.....
  20. Tampa Bay would block your phone number forever if you called and offered that for Archer.
  21. no, just no. I thought we done bottom feeding?
  22. To quote a financial tag, "past performance does not guarantee future results".
  23. thanks for the civil discussion. Are they really supporting/protecting them though, that's my point. The event occurred and will be with the victim forever. Just ignoring doesn't make it go way. Why do you think therapy works as well as it does?
  24. Read my post i just made to MR Brooks. You and I are very different people with a very different value set. time to agree to disagree.
