The biggest take aways for me from this article is you better hire the right people, not the right names. Also, landing a top of the rotation ace does not solve all ills. People have been on the Twins for being "cheap" and not going after the top pitching free agents. Keep in mind that both Nolasco and E. Santana were each in the "top 10" of their respective Free Agent classes. The problem is that the Twins are not drafting and developing their own quality players - especially starting pitchers. Obviously Arizona was not either, and they are paying the price as well.
