And "what to expect from a 5th starter?" -
Resolving the Apparent Infield Logjam
USAFChief replied to stringer bell's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Well I obviously disagree. Strongly. Everybody in the western hemisphere knew the Twins were going to add a starter to replace Gray and Maeda. They got one. They weren't looking to trade for a 33 yr old reliever with one season of success, an A ball outfielder, or a non prospect A ball pitcher. They wanted a starter. The fact they blinked and let Seattle pawn off a bad one is WHY we need to see this trade for what it was. Pretending the Twins front office made a good deal, or didn't trade for a starter as the primary return, is just a pollyanna fairytale. They blew it. Big time.- 133 replies

Resolving the Apparent Infield Logjam

At the risk of hijacking this thread, and further beating a dead horse, this was your post immediately prior to the above: Logjam or no logjam, I'm pretty sure the idea (here, won't speak to ownership) of moving middle infielders wasn't to just dump excess quality players, it was to acquire a Sonny Gray replacement. your post immediately above seems to disagree. Polanco was traded for a starter. They tried for one of Seattle's actual good ones, settled for Desclafani. The Polanco trade isnt made without a starter in return.- 133 replies

That's some ****** pitching to Torkleson. Everyone in the ballpark knew what was coming.

They scored that a double for Canha. Ell Oh Ell.

Some wonderful infield play, and an incredibly stupid throw by Martin. Go ahead run on third.

Think maybe Baez was sitting breaking ball?

You guys are sooooo plugged in to my humor.

Nice job, Mr Ober. Put me down as OK with this pitching change.

We had some of the grandkids over yesterday. The youngest one (4 yo) kept playing with electricity. So I had to ground him.
