    The Twins seem to be masters of turning glittering prospects into dull major leaguers. How about a cleanout of the minor-league development staff? Overpay a few from Cleveland and Tampa to move to the Twins organization?

    Of course, you are all assuming that there will be a season next summer...

    Bibee has lost 15 (!) games this season! But he looked like a right-handed Sandy Koufax against the Twins. Playing out the string indeed!

    Speed and defense will decline, possibly fast. So what's left? Homeruns perhaps and good hitting overall. But the contract you propose is foolhardy. Too long. Too much. Perhaps 10-15m base and an equal amount based on games played. Just because we can afford it doesn't mean we should. What is the opportunity cost? We have a lot of young players whom we hope will be worthy of large contracts. The Twins' revenues only allow a limited number of those. I'd choose to keep the powder dry for the likes of Jenkins, Keashall, Culpepper, Ryan, etc. If they all crash and burn, well, no one's going to be buying tickets anyway so low revenues and low costs. Ugly scenario.

    So ... they all lost. One team twice. They're training to be Twins!

    I'd be very interested in some numbers comparing the Twins' pitching injury record with other teams. Given the way pitchers abuse their arms to achieve greater velocity and/or spin, some injuries are to be expected. But the oft-cited example of Rice University over-using their pitchers suggests that use and training can play a role. Are the Twins' starters more susceptible to long-term injuries than those of other teams? I'm sure this has been studied, but I don't read that literature.

    Wining is always good, however your team is doing!

    I agree. For this season, we are fighting over scraps at the bottom of the league. Let's get the talented kids up as soon as they are "ready" and start to see the next generation. They may or may not be good enough to be the core of a winning team, but we won't know until we start to see who is worth building around.

    Do you really think that the Twins (and Rockies) are "Just Fine?" The Twins are bad; the Rockies are horrible.

    This might be a record year for the Twins: most players cycled through the roster. If you've been DFAed by another team, the Twins are like calling 911.
  11. PDX Twin
    Do all of the Twins fielders wear noise-cancelling earbuds in the field? Or do they all just assumed teammates can read their thoughts?
  12. PDX Twin
    Turned it off in disgust after that little-league play behind second. Uggh!
  13. PDX Twin
    I'm betting on a long lockout. How does that affect the status of one-year deals such as the one proposed with the QO? Do we have to pay the full year if he only plays half? What if the whole year is canceled?
  14. PDX Twin
    All spring long, TD raved about the Saints team. They don't look so great these days. Injuries? Or is it just that losing is contagious and the Twins mediocrity has infected the whole system?
  15. PDX Twin
    Buxton reminds me of Ernie Banks for the 1960s Cubs. Great player on terrible teams.
  16. PDX Twin
    Hitting for power matters, but, especially without it, speed matters, too. When you haven't much of either ... It's going to be a long season!
  17. PDX Twin
    The best reason to let him play against right-handed pitchers is that it will get Wallner out of the lineup. The current version of Wallner is a black hole in the lineup and a disaster in right field.
  18. PDX Twin
    I'm imagining a squad of ants marching in formation carrying bats over their shoulders like rifles ...
  19. PDX Twin
    Looks like the Saints are learning the "Twins Way." Get ahead early, then close down the offense and let the bullpen blow it. 😟
  20. PDX Twin
    We should be celebrating. The Twins scored today! That won't happen every day.

    If he was a bad swimmer, why wasn't he wearing a life jacket himself?
  22. PDX Twin
    One could say the same thing about many projected Twins starters...
  23. PDX Twin
    Can Bust play two positions at once? :)
  24. PDX Twin
    $$$

    I keep reading these articles thinking there might be some hope. Then I read them and shake my head. It's going to be a long season with lots of empty seats and low TV viewership.
