    And then you zoom out even more, and it starts to look pretty much like it looked originally. A bunch of private school kids (mostly white) wearing MAGA hats haranguing some minorities. The black Israelites are provocative, to be sure. But their numbers are too small to be of any concern.

    How about this year? 150 million.

    Falvey and Levine inherited an internal core that won 85 games in 2017. They didn't build on it. They thought they did, but they didn't. You have confidence that they have a plan. I agree. I am also confident that they have a plan. I am curious to hear what you think their plan is though.

    I really have to quibble with your big picture view that Ryan left behind a mess. Falvey and Levine inherited a post-season-caliber team. The Twins only won 85 games in 2017, but it was enough to make the Wild Card game.

    The Twins could have signed Cody Allen for just a few million more than they spent signing Martin Perez and Blake Parker. Allen has a long history of getting high leverage outs.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Who's left? Kimbrel? Like I said, Cody Allen signed not too long ago for not much more than we signed this guy.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I would love it if these exact words were his media guide bio I hope he finds success here.

    Not counting incentives, the Twins signed Blake Parker and Martin Perez for $5 million. Cody Allen signed for $8.5 million. Would people rather have Parker and Perez and $3.5 million salary in the Twins pocket, or spend another $3.5 million (and slightly more to top the Angels offer) and sign Cody Allen and then have that extra roster spot?
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    hope you're right!
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's what I thought, but MLBTR says there's a team option for 2020
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Speak for yourself, $15 a year is a lot of money!

    Actually Machado's father did Tweet that the team someone would least expect, among the final 4 teams, is the team most likely to land him.

    And eventually the whine line thread was cancelled for lack of advertisers
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Oliver Drake DFA'd. Again. Item #43,847 that needs addressing in the upcoming CBA / Work stoppage
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    also, radio

    don't know what exchange prompted this, but I approve.

    The interesting thing about Allen is that he shot through the Cleveland system in a hurry, despite being drafted after the 20th round, and was lights-out pretty much from his MLB debut. I think that’s been an underreported story since Falvey came over from Cleveland — how was a late selection like Allen able to have such success like that. Like, who were the 10th-20th round picks ahead of him? I’d prefer the Twins find and develop their own Cody Allen, though the real Allen would work, too. Falvey must have a gut feeling about the guy. At some point he will need to set aside the sophisticated models and go with his gut on something. I don’t know if that’s Cody Allen or not.

    I was actually leaning against the Cody Allen idea until I went down the rabbit hole (again) of salary and revenue. One article cited how a team like Cleveland spent money after opening a new stadium and had a nice run of success (if not an actual championship), while other teams like Pittsburgh and Milwaukee just kept new stadium revenues in ownership’s pocket, and failed to see meaningful improvement on the field. I think Pohlad would want to be in that first group. As someone up thread said, if the Twins have a 2/20+ offer to Allen, I think that’s pretty reasonable, even if Allen signs for a little more. A 2/20 contract to Allen would destroy my narrative that Pohlad is refusing to go higher than $99 million in payroll this year, but it will make the team better for sure #tradeoffs

    Whatever they plan to do, I'd like to see it get wrapped up soon. Last year, too much of the nucleus was added after the players were already in Ft. Myers. I think any big additions should be made before Twins Fest so that the players can come to Minneapolis and mingle, meet their teammates off the field, establish some esprit de corps. Just my opinion.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Well, they did try to squeeze the Twins into North Carolina in the 90s
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Seems like a lot of work to actually sit down on a call and pound out minor incentives like that. I'd say, nah thanks. But maybe the FO let an intern do it, for the experience.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Fair enough. Identifying the right guy is only half the battle. I'd rather see them add to the top of the rotation, or do something impactful with the young pitchers with options they already have. If that means a stacker or opener/primary, so be it (if it works ). They must have enough data on their pitchers by now to exploit certain matchups and put them in better spots for them to succeed.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Fair enough. I can't disagree with any of that, really. I guess I'd rather see them add to the top or middle of the rotation, and push everyone else down a spot, than add another guy to compete for the back end.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Exactly.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok, so in spring training Tillman comes in, looks fit, good attitude, but after a few spring training outings, isn't getting results. Then what?
