  1. I dropped some teams that couldn't catch the Twins and added Cincinnati.

  4. When must a decision be made on SWR? If it can wait until spring training, then the decision shouldn't be too difficult. By that time, trades will have been made, performances in spring training evaluated, and injuries can be factored in. Then make a decision. If the decision must be made by a set day in the off-season, then take your best guess and go with it.
  5. Is a counterdict an accountant you don't like? Or a fast-food order taker with a bad personality? And either choice contradicts your premise.
  6. Lots of acronyms. FYI, it reminds me of meetings with DOD when I worked in D.C.
  7. How about if the front office let the fans (a vote-in contest) for the first round pick?

  9. There are still some questions about whether the Angels and Cardinals will be included.
  10. That doesn't stop most people from responding.
  11. Please define the difference between "command" and "control". They sound like the same thing to me.
  12. Are you surprised by this? Do the Twins have any major-league quality relief pitchers on the 26-man roster?
  13. Only 17 games remaining. P Team W L PCT GB 1 Chicago White Sox 55 90 0.379 - 2 Minnesota Twins 64 81 0.441 9.0 3 Pittsburgh Pirates 64 81 0.441 9.0 4 Atlanta Braves 65 80 0.448 10.0 5 Whatever Athletics 66 80 0.452 10.5 6 Miami Marlins 66 79 0.455 11.0 8 Baltimore Orioles 67 77 0.465 12.5 7 Los Angeles Angels 68 77 0.469 13.0 11 St. Louis Cardinals 72 74 0.493 16.5 10 Arizona Diamondbacks 72 74 0.493 16.5 9 Tampa Bay Rays 72 72 0.500 17.5 13 San Francisco Giants 74 71 0.510 19.0 12 Cleveland Guardians 74 70 0.514 19.5 14 Texas Rangers 76 70 0.521 20.5
  14. You listed ten teams as clearly more relevant than the Twins. Seven of the teams are East Coast or West Coast teams. I think this is a major part of the irrelevance. The Twins are in the middle of the country and in the northern half. What media is going to give a damn about anything that happens in Minnesota (with the exception of a school shooting or a George Floyd incident). Not enough viewers i.e. advertising revenues. There's an old saying that money talks while the middle of the country isn't worth finishing this saying.
  15. HE DOESN'T HIT HOMERUNS!!! HE DOESN'T HIT HOMERUNS!!! Sounds like Chicken Little to me. He's only 20 and closing in on the MLB. Give it time.
  16. I think this off-season he will be working on becoming a choreographer so he can join his cousin on Broadway.

  18. A long winning streak is the worst scenario. They need to keep losing to up their odds in the draft lottery. They are closing in on the White Sox and it would be a shame to waste all that non-effort by the front office.

  19. This is a great response if the topic was about the front office. This article is about top prospects for 2027.
  20. Maybe the cost of DFA'ing a minor league player is 50 cents less than for a major leaguer? The Pohlad's need every penny they can get if they aren't selling the team.
  21. Is it too late to catch Chicago? Chicago's magic number is 13.
