    For a vacation? 😄

    The Twins may only win 75 games this upcoming season. Why spend any money on older relief pitchers? I am of the opinion that turning minor league starters who aren't on the fast track to becoming major league starters should be given 2026 to prove they can be MLB relief pitchers.

    When do World Series tickets go on sale?

    I took golf lessons over 15 years ago where they used similar technology to track my swing and then superimposed my swing over that of a PGA player with a comparable swing. I made minor tweaks that I would not have comprehended if explained non-visually. It greatly improved my ball striking - but not my score. I still couldn't putt.

    What other players exist beyond "high, middle and lower tiered especially"?
  6. terrydactyls
    Barf, barf, and more barf. The front office needs to meet with the young arms who are currently starters but they feel would be good relievers and ask the a single question. Would you rather continue starting but remain in the minors making $35k or switch to relief and join the big club and make $800K? I would be curious to see how many would prefer a minimal salary in order to chase a dream. I know I would jump at the chance to give it a try.

    Why in the world is the Caribbean Winter League All-Star game in New York??? Winter baseball in New York City is not something I would find desirable.

    I thought it was a 7:00 deadline?

    I'm just reporting what I'm hearing out of Boston.
  10. terrydactyls
    Two items. 1. To be competitive in 2026, all the Twins need is a "deftly executed deal"? That made me laugh. Falvey making a deftly executed deal is highly unlikely. 2. The only mention of Jerran Duran I've read out of Boston (I live near Boston) is that he is being projected to be a 4th outfielder. I wouldn't trade Lopez or Ryan for a 4th outfielder.
  11. terrydactyls
    There were two things that struck me in the OP. 1. The quote from Falvey in which he says "It was my stated goal before and remains my stated goal until I'm told otherwise." This sounds like something a husband would say. "This is what I believe and I won't change - unless my wife tells me to." 2. I keep hearing that the "plan" is to keep what they have now and add help where needed. How can you add players if you don't have a semi-firm budget already in place? IMO, they will do nothing until a month before spring training starts, then finalize a budget to work with, and try to sign whatever reclamation projects are unsigned.
  12. terrydactyls
    Who said anything about their financial statements? What is the budget? Who are the new investors and do they have any say in running the team?
  13. terrydactyls
    I'm not convinced that Martin as a utility guy is a good idea. I think that a lot of his late-season improvement is because he played the same position each day.
  14. terrydactyls
    Ticket and merchandise sales? Should I buy season tickets? Build fan interest? Being honest/transparent for a change?
  15. terrydactyls
    This may be the first time in all the time I've been on Twins Daily that I actually agree with @Blyleven2011. Until ownership lets the front ofice and the public know what the hell the budget restraints are, you really can't blame Falvey, Zoll, or Shelton for not trying to strength the Twins. But with no guidance from the owners, the front office has their hands tied. They can't pursue any free agents (or trades) that would add any salary to the payroll if they don't know what the ownership will approve. And they shouldn't make any moves the lowers the payroll if the savings go in the pockets of the Pohlads. If I were Falvey, I would look for work elsewhere.

    We got our first snow today in Maine and the next few days will be barely above freezing. Predicting a draft that will take place eight months from now seems pretty pointless. I'm just having trouble getting excited over guessing what might happen. So until something actually happens (the mystery owners are unveiled, a decision on the budget is made, a trade is made, etc.), I think I will follow the example of many of my woodland neighbors and hibernate until spring.

    Before I read this article I have one question: Is this the same article as the one Matthew Taylor submitted on September 9th?
  18. terrydactyls
    Without any indication from the front office concerning.... 1. Payroll 2. Specific long-term and short-term goals 3. Information about the new minor stakeholders (who they are and if they have a voice) 4. A definition of "contender". A chance for a meaningless wildcard or Central Division title, or an actual World Series title? .... it is difficult for me to even attempt to envision what the Twins may look like on Opening Day or what the next few years hold. I am spending far less time reading Twins Daily than usual and more time searching for news about the Wild, Vikings, Gopher football and mens hockey (although all these have their own level of disappointment attached. I'm glad my local library is well stocked with mystery/murder novels.
  19. terrydactyls
    Please tell me where you are seeing/hearing "rumors continue out of Boston". I live 90 miles from Fenway and I have neither seen nor heard any rumors about Ryan.
  20. terrydactyls
    He will be a great example for the young starters coming up who the Twins want to move to the bullpen. Hawkins did it and lasted 21 years in the major leagues.
  21. terrydactyls
    Yesterday's moves remind me of the old joke about what do you call the sudden deaths of 100 lawyers? A good start.
  22. terrydactyls
    Depressing.....
  23. terrydactyls
    I think outhouse is a very good description of the situation.
  24. terrydactyls
    Exactly! How low has MLB sunk?
  25. terrydactyls
    His name is Shelton, not Sheldon.
