  1. You can't draw conclusions based on 91 at bats?
  2. He's younger than anyone they sign, which I'd lay odds of 80% happens now.
  3. I'm disappointed in myself for not typing these words.
  4. If no one claims him. Which I'd put at about 60% likely no one does. And, I agree, they now have room to sign an old, veteran, DH also. Classic move of preferring veterans over the unknown. Really not a fan of a rebuilding team doing this at all.
  5. Park was DFAd? The Korean DH who can mash the ball? Uh, what? Not a fan, at all, of this decision by the FO.
  6. A guy that a playoff team didn't think was good enough to be on their playoff roster......I also am surprise this isn't a minor league deal.
  7. KLAW has his sleeper prospects up for each team.... "aside from Thorpe who I've talked about more than he's pitched...." is a great line. Blankenthorn, if his power spike is real, won't matter where he plays....
  8. Value? hahahahahahaha.
  9. Plus, the Cubs can/will buy pitching in FA. Not sure the Twins will buy a top FA ace type ever, unless they buy one that isn't, and he turns into that....
  10. I don't agree. They can try to implement changes, see how well the existing people do under the new system then make necessary moves. You just don't fire everyone when you take over an organization. This article is great news, imo. I think they've been behind on development for some time. I'd like to lead. Start with providing proper nutrition, for free, to every minor league player (paid for by the Twins, not the minor league teams). Add in better training (like above) and individualized plans for development (with a core philosophy behind it). That's how successful orgs run, and I, for one, am glad to read this.
  11. Not me, but I can see why someone would want to.
  12. I think Seth has it correct, to start the year. Once the season starts, it will depend on whether or not Murphy and Garver hit (assuming health, of course).
  13. Great article. Really well done here. Thank you.
  14. They also said not to get too attached to any current Twins......
  15. Uh, I agree completely. OTHER people are posting they are 1 SP away from the playoffs.....
  16. Meh. Not exactly exciting, but not bad either. Cheap, might be decent, RP on a 1 year deal. I mildly endorse this mild move.
  17. Welcome to the site! Solid base hit with your first post!
  18. It's especially a problem that you are average or worse, when you won't/can't sign FAs, and apparently have no veterans to trade. If your new strategy is to build from within, you have to be one of the five or so best at drafting and developing, or you may as well just give up. That is the new strategy, to be home grown?
  19. shouldn't a team drafting near the top have more than average? I was told the reason they didn't have great picks before was that they were always drafting late......recently they've been drafting pretty early.
  20. Cross Logan off your RP list.....
  21. KLAW really likes him a lot, and said if he hits in A ball, he'll jump well up the list.....
  22. Wishing i hadn't now.....
  23. Several people have posted that once these young players mature this year, and they acquire one more legit SP .... that the team is a playoff team. Those are the exact people that I have asked why Ryan was fired. I have not asked anyone else. I have not implied everyone believes that. I have not stated that everything was working fine. Not sure how this is about me, rather than the question to those that have stated it....
  24. Woody Harrelson was the highlight by far.
  25. we watched most/part of that awful end of the world movie after skiing and eating one night....the one with the boats in the Himalayas? looked it up: 2012. Ugh. It was sadly lacking in Godzillas, btw.
