    >>Still up on the border. Good times Warroad? Former EGF-er myself. Who will they draft this year? If not a player, a position and H.S versus College. I remember Keith Law being down on their selection of Berrios, I think he was a supplemental pick, but that has turned out awesome. I don't miss the winds coming out of the Arctic Circle and thundering across MN in the winter times... TS in DC (yes I need your sympathy...)

    Actually Thrylos, Seth never mentioned fiancé. DC did when asked where he was when he found out he was drafted. Also DC mentioned the players who made the 5+ hour trip for his wedding, with 2 of them standing up at his wedding. I think it was refreshing to see that he complimented his coaches for his success.

    I read a couple of your posts and spot on, but with a caveat. If the player is worth and may not be here in 3 years because you have an prospect to replace him and get value in return. But for the love of God and the Hamm's Bear, don't throw money at fringe players... Which is why I am against Castro unless he can hit at least 1/4 of the time. .215 average, we have that kind of impact already.

    You can take Keith Law's opinion with a grain of salt, he was wrong after all about the Twins drafting Jose Berrios.... I quote: "but I also don't see much upside here beyond a fringy regular unless he can suddenly start making more contact." Not worth the ink. Id rather push our catchers instead of spending $$. Ramos has a better arm and infinitely better bat.

    This one is a no-brainer via the FA Market. Either you get Wilson Ramos on a good deal or no one at all. No one else adds any improved value either via hitting or defensively to make any sense. I would even go 4 years for Wilson for a couple of reasons. 1) He always could hit, he throws out 40% of the base stealers. A plus over who have now. 2) If/When our catching prospects are ready, you could trade him to a contender that needs a catcher/hitter. The rest of the FA options aren't worth the ink to sign them from the Twins POV.

    Well I would rather ADD than AD... That is where I though you were going with the one letter change. Tanaka would be steal...unlikely but you could try to sell him on the upside of the Twins when Sano, Buxton, Meyer and Rosario join the Bigs...with Stewart and others on the way. That said, I would take a flyer on Johan as either as starter or a reliever...he started in the pen...and with his knowledge he could be a good addition. Cheers everyone...in January there is ALWAYS hope in the air...at least TR and team are doing something...
