    Fool me once , shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    Minnesota is attractive enough to Louie Varland and SWR and Dobber and Ober and Winder...and they are hungry, as are all inexpensive pitchers in the Twins minor league system. And that is the point of this article.

    Why back off of the 10 year, $285 million offer? Why would the Twins do that if they really are convinced the 10 year/$285 offer was fair a month ago and if the Twins have no new medical info to consider? Seems like a poor way to negotiate by the Twins. It is difficult to lower an offer "for no reason" and expect the player to jump, all over it. It would leave a bad taste in the player's mouth if that is the case.

    I agree with this proposal. The young guys need the experience and can only get it by playing. That is why I disliked the Gallo signing so much. It wasted $11,000,000 but more than that, it delayed the answer to the BIG QUESTION, which is, "Who among the young players will succeed and what is the ceiling for each of them?"

    How much would it cost the Twins to sign Cutch? Who would lose playing time if Cutch were signed? These 2 key questions need to be answered first.

    Well said Alex. Thank you. I needed that.

    Steven, this will be fun for us TD folks to follow as you visit these various places. May I suggest that you record the best thing you buy to eat at each ballpark and then have a rating system of the various ballpark foods (i.e. best hotdog - Fenway Frank; Best seafood - crab cake sandwich at Oriole park; Best Pike on a stick - oh never mind...you get the idea).

    Like Chase Petty ?
  9. tarheeltwinsfan
    That is a risky decision. Moving Duran to a starting pitcher is like what Woody Hayes said about a throwing a forward pass. "One of three things can happen, and two of them are bad."

    What do you call an elephant who doesn't make a difference? An irrelephant.
  11. tarheeltwinsfan
    Now that is an entrance.
  12. tarheeltwinsfan
    I thought that same thing MMM.
  13. tarheeltwinsfan
    Gardner ? Billy Gardner ?

    Count your blessings if you live less than 100 miles from Target Field. I have been a Senators/Twins fan for 70 years and I live 1,127.7 miles away from Target Field. But then I am only 754 miles from Hammond Stadium. By he way, I am going to get my reservations and game tickets this week for spring training. I cannot wait ! My wife and I have decided to stay a week this year. I hope to meet some of you at Ft. Myers this year.

    Nine, that was really clever. South Georgia. Thanks.
  16. tarheeltwinsfan
    The 5 winners, whom you rightly featured here, required 9 and 2/3's total innings of relief to seal the 5 victories. Please give an honorable mention to Duran. That having been said, I hope Rocco lets the starters who are succeeding in a game, pitch longer into that game this year and I hope the FO signs/ promotes/ trades for/ finds playing church league softball in Lake Wobegon/ or observes casting a line for pike on the shore of Lake Winnibigoshish, several more flame throwing relievers.

    Good article Ted.
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    His lack of command is the most glaring problem to me.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    Did Berrios want to stay in Minnesota? I hope he did, but I don't know if what Jose Berrios wanted had anything to do with his trade to Toronto.
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Really great post Doc. Well reasoned and well written. Your post is the perfect compliment to the well written article by Lou. And I say this, even though I still don't like trading Petty. But I must admit that I have really enjoyed watching Sonny Gray pitch. He is a true professional, gutsy, top of the rotation pitcher. I hope the Twins will be able to extend Gray. And I hope that Chase Petty has a long successful career, where ever he ma be pitching.
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    Having watched Petty pitch in spring training, I was blown away and I would trade SWR or Connor P. for Petty. But what do I know...I can't even spell their names.
  22. tarheeltwinsfan
    "Pitching is the coin of the realm" Outstanding writing Ash. You also added the "standing at the station" analogy, which unfortunately accurately describes the Twins current situation. Well done.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    The Twins may already have this "inning eater", but we don't know because Rocco, like many ML managers, keeps limiting starters' innings.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Falvine drafted at least one H.S. pitcher with huge upside to become an ace, but then traded him to the Reds.
  25. tarheeltwinsfan
    I have posted before that the Twins will regret trading Petty. I still believe this to be true.
