    This signing tells the other Twins players, coaches and staff that the Twins are in this to win in 2019. I like that attitude. PLAY BALL!

    This has potential to be a HUGE signing. Congratulations to all involved.

    Merry Christmas TD readers and writers. I remember one Christmas when I was a kid living in North Carolina, I received a Christmas card from Zoilo Versalles. It said "Felice Navidad, Zoilo Versalles". That was a kind gift from him, I was thrilled. When a person asks me how I became a Twins fan here in North Carolina, I tell them I was born in Washington DC...only to receive a blank stare from 90 % of them. I have lived in North Carolina since I was 5 years old. As a result, I have not had much access to written materials about the Senators/Twins, Being a Senators/Twins fan is, and has been,fun for me for many years. This Twins Daily site is comprised of intelligent, polite people who are Twins fans who know more about baseball than I do, but who allow me to be a part of Twins Daily by reading your submissions and allowing me to contribute my opinions. Thank you each and every one for this gift.

    Dear Abby, Is this gentleman typical of Minnesotans in the winter? Or is this gentleman an exception? Sign Me, A Curious North Carolinian

    If Buck plays to his potential in 2019, the Twins should offer him a ton of money. That will make both sides happy. The first step in this "happiness equation" is up to Buck.

    The signing of Nishi is the Twins' defense to the law suit.
  7. tarheeltwinsfan
    I wonder if the extensive scouting was done by any of the same scouts who scouted Nishi?

    Ala Mike Pelfry?

    Who is the "we" you are referring to? "We", the Twins' fans, have to worry about money because "we", the owner of the Twins, must and does worry about the efficient use of his money. If the owner should be chastised for trying to be cost efficient, then what do you think the chances are that "we", the Twins fans, could persuade the 24 best Twins' active roster players to each "voluntarily" take a 10% cut in pay and the 25th guy could "voluntarily" go to Triple A so the Twins could sign a new player for the $10,000,000 saved from the other 24 players' voluntary 10% reductions in their pay. Remember when Willie Mays said that he loved baseball so much he would play for nothing? Name one owner, GM, manager, coach, or player who "plays" for nothing. "Show me the money, Jerry...say it, show me the money!"

    I really was wondering what they knew that I had not heard about because I have no internet connection since I live in a van, down by the river.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    Re-sign.

    It will get better...it will get better...it will get better.

    I remember much weaker Twins pitching staffs in the last 5 years, Reading this article about 2019's available choices for the Twins pitching staff makes me optimistic. As "the hardest working man in show business" said: "I Feel Good!"
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Mike I agree. Boras is just bloviating, as usual.
  15. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree that the players should have contractual requirements for their off season conditioning and for diet also. They are being paid too much money not to be required to do all possible to maximize the owners' investment. We should also require that during the off season they live at the Ft. Myers' training complex in dorms and eat only at a training table and have lights out at 10 pm, since a good night's sleep is important. Weekend conjugal visits could be allowed, but only for married players, and only if they met their strength goals for the prior week. And no champagne victory parties (champagne is bad for the eyes).
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    Nice article. Thanks.

    Are we having fun yet? This is hard work trying to second guess every Twins' move. I'm trying to sound intelligent in every post so Derek or Thad will take my advice, but nothing to report yet. Heck, I'd be happy if I could at least get some "likes" from Seth, or Nick, or Tom, or Thrylos, or Doc...or even Davethedastardly...anybody. With all these new mathematical measurements I'm stressed. Plus having to spell everything corectly and not have my words runtogether is a pain.I have developed a headache. I'm going to bed. I may have to take up an easier activity just to relax...maybe I'll try predicting the stock market,

    Ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls of all ages. Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth.

    Like Phil Hughes? What if the Twins had bet on success with LoMo?
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    I'll told Mark what you said. He asked me to ask you where you live.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Remember Mark Davidson, the 4th OF on the Twins 87 championship team? His son is a junior at Clemson and a 3rd team All American at SS. A switch hitter, he is 6' 3 " 185 lbs. He is among the top 5 SS in the 2019 draft. Logan's sister played tennis at Stanford. Mark was from my hometown. I told Mark that his athletic children must have gotten their mother's genes.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    Lance Lynn, maybe?
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Get the best fielding SS for the short term ...Iglesias. No more than a 2 year deal. Move Romero and Stewart to BP, just for 1 year. Let Mejia start now...we need a left handed starter. Bring up Jake Reed. I want to see what Jake can do. Keep Vasquez in the pen, along with Rogers, May, Hildy and A. Reed. Sounds like a plan.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks for the positive look at the improvements which the Twins may reasonably expect from Addison Reed in 2019. A well thought-out article.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    If Rosario could play an average 2B, the Twins could put McCutchen in LF for two years, at which time AK will be ready for OF, Lewis will be ready for SS, Sano will be ready for 1B, and Polonco can move to 3B. And if a mouse had wings, he could fly.
