    Thielbar has put together a decent July. Hope he can repeat it in August and September.
  2. DJL44
    I would rather give the innings to this guy than Winder or Henriquez but it doesn't help much. If they want to improve the bullpen it will need to come from within the organization (Topa, Varland).

    They don't look for top pitching at the deadline because it is too expensive. They don't look for top pitching in the offseason because it is too expensive. They don't look for top pitching in the MLB draft because it is too risky. They don't sign top pitching as international free agents because it is too risky. Their plan for developing top pitchers is to grab a bunch of mediocre pitchers and hope some of them get better.

    Ober and Ryan are fine. Pablo is good enough. Who's the 4th starter for the playoffs? Who's the 5th starter for the rest of the season?

    Sometimes I wonder if they're trying to get Correa to request a trade.
  7. DJL44
    Now would be a good time for the Twins to get something out of the Polanco trade. Hopefully Topa can pitch effectively down the stretch.

    Twins acquire a bad reliever who should be left off the postseason roster in exchange for a non-prospect more likely to be released than to play in AAA. I guess we'll see if Pete Maki can make chicken salad out of Trevor Richards. He couldn't out of Staumont.

    Puk
  10. DJL44
    And $150M he would be walking away from if he opts in.

    Startups are focused on growth. The Twins aren't growing. They can't add more baseball games to their schedule.
  13. DJL44
    That sounds like what they are trying to do with the Venu streaming service that might launch soon. Personally, I'd rather just pay $120 for MLB.tv and watch the Twins there. I'm not that interested in sports other than baseball. That said, $360 a year for all MN sports is a LOT better than $1500/year for cable TV.

    If they're out of money because they spent $6,5M on Kyle Farmer and $4M on Manuel Margot instead of going with rookies that's pretty bad roster management.
  15. DJL44
    Look again. #3, #12 and #16 are absent.
  16. DJL44
    The Terry Ryan memorial dumpster dive!
  17. DJL44
    This Comcast decision anchors the potential streaming price at $20/month. That's probably the best way to do it; pay $20/month for the Twins either on cable or standalone on streaming. I can't imagine why anyone would keep cable if those are the options but some people seem to like endless terrible reality TV shows and pharmaceutical advertisements.

    Using percentage of revenue takes ownership off the hook for negotiating the worst TV deal in all professional sports and all the other decisions that have minimized their revenue in a good market for sports.
  19. DJL44
    Yes, it would be like making a bad trade.
  20. DJL44
    Turn to Cal Quantrill?
  21. DJL44
    The Yankees are actually looking for infield help. Cortes for Kyle Farmer would be too lopsided for the Twins.
  22. DJL44
    I assume the Yankees are going to upgrade the rotation which is why Cortes is available.
  23. DJL44
    Noah Miller to the White Sox in the Fedde trade.
  24. DJL44
    Cortes for Kepler is the obvious move for the Twins.
  25. DJL44
    Dobnak is owed $3M for next season that they would want to get out from under.
