    If this is true, then the Twins were unrealistic in their expectations.
  2. tarheeltwinsfan
    Ugh! The picture describes exactly how I am feeling.

    Last week in one of my posts, I suggested that the Twins to offer Darvish 6 years at $125 total. I guess I was a day late and a million dollars short.

    April losses count the same as September losses.
  6. tarheeltwinsfan
    I predict the better the pitcher, the luckier he becomes.

    It won't take long to "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

    The games in April count as much as the games in September. Offer Darvish 6 yrs at $125. Trade Rosario, Gordon and Littel (19-1) for Archer. Pencil in Granite in LF. That young OF would be the best defensive OF in the majors.

    Just sign Yu Darvish already.

    Interesting article. Thanks.

    I'd put Chris Giminez at RP. He pitched for 3 teams, Texas, Cleveland and the Twins, during his illustrious pitching career. Talk about control...he never, I repeat, never walked a batter over a 3 year career. His strikeout to walk ratio is difficult to figure because of his zero walks, so I guess we could say his ratio was 1 to infinity. Also he had zero wild pitches and zero hit batters. (Lucky for those batters that none of those 65 mph fastballs hit them.) His most amazing stat was that he went straight to pitch in the major leagues without ever having had to pitch in the minor leagues. Not many major league ready pitchers can claim that. I recently read on the Cubs website that Chris is throwing long toss and being stretched out in anticipation of starting opening day at Wrigley.

    No way the owners will agree to this. It would cost them tens of millions annually.

    Halsey, How are you doing health wise? I hope you are OK..
  14. tarheeltwinsfan
    Sorry Halsey. Hope you get some relief soon. I started to attempt to make a joke about getting some relief soon, but thought better of it. Kidney stones are no laughing matter.

    Wonderful article. As Elvis sang: "It's now or never"! Well maybe not never, but it surely seems like a long time since 1991.

    I would much rather have the 3 players we already have than any of the free agents mentioned in this article. Signing any of these free agents makes no economic sense to me. Nor does it improve the team. "Veteran leadership" is already present on this current Twins' team in Mauer, Dozier, Castro, Escobar, Santana. Therefore there is no reason to sign any of free agents, whose stock is tumbling downward.

    It is extremely difficult to predict the future results where there are multiple, uncontrollable variables. My hat is off to those who attempt to do so. That reminds me, I've got to make some adjustments to my 401k investments.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Interesting stuff. Thanks.

    mikelink, you are an idiot! You know nothing about baseball! Just kidding. I agree 100% that TD is a special site which allows cordial disagreement. Thank you to all the moderators and the owners who keep hotheads like me reigned in. I hope the Twins do sign Darvish because I believe this solves the Twins' biggest need thereby giving the Twins the best chance of utilizing the players currently on the roster in a way that will result in a World Series championship in 2018. Without Darvish, I believe the team will not be quite good enough. With Darvish, the Twins can compete with NYY and CI and HA and LAD...and can dominate the rest.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    OK, fair enough. I'm not excited, how about you?
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good article. I especially liked your statement comparing the K/9 rates of the Rockies 3 new relievers and the Twins 3 new relievers, where you called the comparison "striking"! Nice double meaning there.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    What did Nishi and Park do with their contracts when they left the Twins?
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    So that would be 3%, which is average for 1 team out of 30 major league teams. Is anyone else disappointed, considering the recent high draft picks which the Twins have had since 2012?
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Hmmmmm. Good-bye Giminez = Good-bye Yu = Hello Cobb?
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    Thanks Tom. Wonderful quotes. Lots to think about. I wonder if Hildy's quotes, while true, may come back to bite us if some umpires read them.
