    Agreed, every org has strengths and weaknesses......like I said, the Vikings refusal to draft OL early led to bad results on the OL, while the rest of the team looked good/great over the last few years. But it's a team game, and teams need to find ways to cover for their own weaknesses. The Cubs are trying to do that by buying FA SPs. It also led to people saying "see, they take OL" after they took them in round 4 and later, none of whom are all that good (or even in the NFL anymore). The Twins seem to be good at finding OF and SS. Probably catchers. Hopefully they are doing a good job trading for SP, because the draft looks suspect (outside the guy whose name I can't spell) to me.

    QFT

    If not this year, and next off season, I don't know when they'd do it.

    If the Twins are going to start trading their top prospects for great SP, then re-signing them to huge contracts, I have no issue with the approach.

    I never used the phrase utterly failed. I'm happy to have conversations if people want....but let's not exaggerate positions to make points. I think it will be hard to find trades like Odo, because when you look at trades for good SPs, you don't see many like it. As for Perez, if Wes Johnson can do this every year, he should be paid about 100MM per year. Again, it just doesn't happen all that often that a guy is so bad he's cut by a team desperate for pitching, has an ERA in the high 5s, and then becomes a good pitcher the next year. I don't see either as consistently repeatable because it doesn't happen across the league every year, let alone for one team every year.

    JG 3:41 Is 3/$42 million too much for Kimbrel? Keith Law 3:42 I'd give him 2/$30 million rather than the third year.

    Brett 3:33 Seems like the twins were going for high upside high risk guys, Would you make Wallner a SP or RF? Keith Law 3:33 He doesn't want to pitch. Matt 3:34 What did you think of Will Holland falling as far as he did? Keith Law 3:34 I think Auburn bears some blame for this. Good value in that round though.

    Kedelbro 3:25 Does Will Holland have any shot to get his swing back? Keith Law 3:25 Yes.
  9. Mike Sixel
    JG 3:21 Did the Twins reach on Kavaco or is the potential worth the risk? Keith Law 3:21 Both could be true, I think. There is plenty of potential there. I think there's more hit tool risk than they do, obviously.

    great post!
  11. Mike Sixel
    agreed, and I acknowledged and praised that. But, now that they are entering the competitive phase of the rebuild, they hopefully aren't trading MLB players for prospects for the next 5 years or so.
  12. Mike Sixel
    That will be interesting for sure.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Just like every year I asked why the Vikings didn't take OL early......sometimes an organizational philosophy isn't great, even if everything else about the team is.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Their most expensive IFA signings last year were mostly hitters also. I'm literally asking where they plan to get pitching......not saying they won't, or can't, but asking if they don't draft it, where do they plan to get it.
  15. Mike Sixel
    not at all, we are asking where the great pitching is going to come from if you don't draft it early, year after year.
  16. Mike Sixel
    How many good/great pitchers do you think get drafted around round 5? I guess I should bail on the thread, it seems like people only want positive, gushing, posts.
  17. Mike Sixel
    no one said that....... how much great pitching will come after round 5, do you think?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Looks like the Yankees are the favorites for Keuchel right now....
  19. Mike Sixel
    they still need a couple dozen new arms to fill out rosters......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has this guy highly ranked.... TLDR Holland is a 70 runner with 50 raw power that can passably play all three positions up the middle but his swing mechanics and skills can't match his tools.

    Harry Craghole 2:44 Think we'll see some historic HR numbers this summer? Meg Rowley 2:45 If the Twins have anything to say about it. Derek (the first one) 2:45 Do you have a favorite story line of the 2019 MLB season so far? Meg Rowley 2:46 I think it is just very cool that the other day, the Twins were playing the Rays, and I thought, oh heck yes, let's watch this here Twins/Rays game. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-6-4-19/
  22. Mike Sixel
    another IF!
  23. Mike Sixel
    that was a different time, way different time. Nothing like the politics of today.
  24. Mike Sixel
    welcome to the site!
  25. Mike Sixel
    No one said that, and if we can't discuss pro and con feelings about moves, why come here at all?
