It would make sense to me, since the Twins are so short on decent starting pitching, to bid aggressively on Tanaka. I think the down side of the older available starting pitching with their susceptibility to injury is what Ryan is looking at and I doubt he'll make any bids on the higher priced starters. I fear the Twins will look at people like Pelfry and once again this team be either at the bottom of the major leagues or close to it with starting pitchers ERA.
