    And there's not much outflow from that pipeline anyway.
  2. USAFChief
    At the least, not a "half measure."
  3. USAFChief
    No, I think Falvey was canned. He's not stepping away from that job voluntarily.
  4. USAFChief
    Concur. Giving Falvey the business side was always a really weird move. And if they're to be believed, one that coincided with a lot of additional debt. I mean, their claims went up ~$100m just this past summer.

    Bell is the regular 1st baseman. Guaranteed.
  6. USAFChief
    I just got the under at 74.5 for $100 at Fanduel. To be fair this bet was -106. So I'll only net ~$94
  7. USAFChief
    Under.
  8. USAFChief
    I'll lay 2 to 1 Ryan Jeffers is the Twins opening day catcher or on the Twins IL. Takers?
  9. USAFChief
    I'll put it at 60.5. And take the over.
  10. USAFChief
    Maybe we could take Carlos Correa off their hands, if they were to pick up, say, $10M/year of his salary.
  11. USAFChief
    As I said, nitpic. Still, details matter.
  12. USAFChief
    I don't need to put money in the bank for a rainy day. Just wait to see if I need it. Then it'll magically appear.

    "The rest of the Twins’ projected Opening Day bullpen (Justin Topa, Cole Sands, Kody Funderburk, Eric Orze, Pierson Ohl, Travis Adams, John Klein) has 11 years and 83 days in total" Nitpic, but: Pierson Ohl? Did I miss something? As to the article, experience is always a good teacher, and that can include watching others with experience. I know I've sometimes benefitted from it, both ways.

    First of all, I would bet Twins starters don't go 6.2 innings even 30 times in 2026. They averaged just over 5 in 2025. You'd still need 2, probably 3 relievers when they do. And you cant be sure your 2 "high leverage" guys are even available for those few games when your starter DID go 6.2. Not to mention the other 140 games when they don't and youre using 4 or 5 relievers night after night. All while missing a couple of relievers off your opening day roster because, well, guys get hurt. A lot. So your bullpen really needs to be about 10 or 11 deep. There is virtually zero chance the Twins bullpen is even anywhere near mediocre in 2026.

    Congratulations Mr Bremer. Well deserved.
  16. USAFChief
    Easily.
  17. USAFChief
    Bullpens are not 2 relievers deep. Well, good ones anyway.
  18. USAFChief
    Don't be so sure. We'll read the same next off-season. "Bullpens are easy" is one of those myths that just won't go away. Meanwhile 3-5 relievers are pitching 3-6 innings every game. Every game. And those numbers grow every year. It's not unusual for a team to use 8 or 9 different relievers in a 3 game series. There are no "low leverage" relievers, and a team will go through, what?...16 relievers in a season? 18? 20?
  19. USAFChief
    I think they could have a disaster of an off-season following a couple disastrous seasons and some people would still pretend it's perfect.
  20. USAFChief
    As I understand it there are 50 trades of Gray.
  21. USAFChief
    If Jeffers for Wong were to get the front office out of town, that might make this deal ultimately worthwhile...
  22. USAFChief
    I enjoy baseball and watch/follow the entire league too. With my brain. But there's only one team that I follow with my heart. I couldn't just "pick a NL team to care about" even if I wanted to. And I don't want to. I watch the Twins because I love baseball, and I feel it when they win, and when they lose. I hope that never goes away. Lately they're making it more difficult than ever to care, and I never wavered through some pretty lean times.
  23. USAFChief
    There are only two seasons. Baseball, no Baseball. It's still no Baseball. 2026 starts when there's Baseball.
  24. USAFChief
    And yet...here we are on the verge of 2026, and still, no international FA signings of any help. None.
  25. USAFChief
    If it's just since 1961, Bert Blyleven is easily at the top of the list. Go to BRef and check his first Twins stint when he came up as a 19 year old in 1970 until traded in 1976. Never less than 275 IP in a full season, and his worst ERA was 3.18 as a rookie. 101 complete games in that stretch. Read that again...One hundred and one complete games. Concur Jack Morris does NOT belong on this list. I'd go Jim Perry, but I can listen to arguments for Pascual and Viola.
