    Unfortunate, to say the least. Get well, and best of luck. I'd also like to ask, as a mod, that posters both 1) ease up on loosely founded and wildly skeptical blame, and 2) ease up on attacking those who do. Neither are worthy of these forums. Thanks.

    I don't understand how anyone interested in the Twins, with access to TF, wouldn't take advantage of this. Fantastic idea, and fantastic deal.

    Long time, many time, etc etc Van, my man...not baseball related, but do you think the Gophs can knock off Sparty in the B1G tourney Friday? Thanks, I'll hang up and await your hot take off the air. Great show!!1!

    False! I'm of northern European descent.
  6. USAFChief
    sad!
  7. USAFChief
    Chief.

    One inning worth?

    Bird...I respect you, and I certainly respect your take on this. I know for a fact you have some knowledge to draw from that many of us don't. That said, perhaps I'm jaded but it's awfully convenient of ownership to draw the ethical line at the exact point where it intersects with spending.

    They've been at or near the top of the draft order for most of the last half decade, yet they don't have a top rated farm system, and little to nothing in the way of readily identifiable potential star power. They've failed to augment the draft by aggressively spending on the international market. It isn't hard to understand the mild criticism, if you just look at things objectively.
  11. USAFChief
    Precisely. It doesn't matter "who."
  12. USAFChief
    Aside from some "iffy" picks, I think the biggest reason the Twins farm system lacks talent compared to some others is the team's refusal to bust the international budget every other year like the smart teams did.
  13. USAFChief
    They will have young players at all three OF spots to start the season, 3b, and SS. Possibly backup C. Parts of the pitching staff. They don't have much else that's promotable, and I'm pretty confident the young pitching they do have will be in the big leagues when ready. Who else should be up opening day? The group they currently have needs to take a step forward this year, or it's unlikely that happens any time soon.
  14. USAFChief
    The bulk of "the best minor league system" is in the big leagues, and theres little in the way of potential star power anywhere close that can be added in the next couple years. If they are a bottom five team in 2017 it's officially time to panic.

    With Maryland's win over MSU today, the Gophers will be either the two or four seed in the B1G tournament. Double bye in the conf tourney. Who had that as possible a month ago?
  16. USAFChief
    Rookie move, Blake.
  17. USAFChief
    I prefer to be called a curmudgeon, thank you very much.
  18. USAFChief
    Veteran move, Blake.
  19. USAFChief
    I had higher hopes for the top rule 5 pick than "potentially expendable mop up guy."
  20. USAFChief
    A prime indication to me of a pitcher in long term trouble is one who consistently gives up solid contact on 0-2 and 1-2 pitches. That's not only extremely annoying, it's a huge red flag, in that its a real indicator of a lack of big league stuff.

    http://www.bunchacunce.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/cageofasparagus-300x235.jpg I wish I could take credit for this. Oh the heck with it...I claim credit for this.
  22. USAFChief
    Concur. Silly to argue. Just admit your initial statement about the AL Central was inaccurate and move on.
  23. USAFChief
    I guess it's possible Stubbs and Schuck are competing with Danny Santana, but I see them more as competition for Grossman. In this age of 12 and 13 man staffs, it's very difficult to carry five true outfielders. Putting both Grossman and one of Schuck/Stubbs, plus a backup catcher, limits the rest of the bench pretty severely.
  24. USAFChief
    "Rare ostrich" seems to me redundant. Is there somewhere eating ostrich is common?
  25. USAFChief
    Only one error. Falvine already working their magic. On the other hand, tough to get a read on the pitch framing emphasis just yet. Nothing got through to the catchers.
