    Sir, I knew Butch Huskey, and you're no Butch Huskey.
  2. USAFChief
    In all seriousness, Pollock isn't the worst idea for a 4th OFer I've ever heard. Way better than Celestino.
  3. USAFChief
    I bet Butch would listen too, if we offered, say...3/$30m.

    "We have a lot of young arm talent that we’ll be looking at in Fort Myers,” said Falvey. “We Tried will be part of that mix, along with Part Of The Conversation and On The Shortlist" I think "In On" will be up and dominating by the All Star Break.

    Godzilla wasn't scared'a no Rodan!!

    "Carlos Rodon is still looking for a home..." C'mon. TD has to be better than this.

    Prett-tay cool. Prett-tay, prett-tay, prett-tay cool.

    Wanted to also add my sincere thanks to Mr Goin for his perspective. My perspective is the same as Yoda: There is no try. There is only do or not do.
  9. USAFChief
    Why aren't TD owners/writers asking tough questions?
  10. USAFChief
    See, I think Kyle Farmer was always plan A. Plan B was to be "in on" Carlos Correa.
  11. USAFChief
    8/250 will prolly end up getting us Correa too.

    I'm old enough to get that reference....but it's "real money" I believe.
  13. USAFChief
    I don't want them to waste a pile of money on Swanson, and I ALWAYS want them to spend more. Swanson doesn't move the needle, IMO. He's going to get way overpaid. I have a feeling, though, the front office is feeling a lot of pressure and might make a desperate move. I'd sign JD Martinez for DH and whoever their staff feels are the 2 best relievers still available. If you can get something useful for Kepler, pull the trigger now. Pray for health, luck, and a weak ALC to keep them relevant. Blow it all up in July if it doesn't work.

    Not at all surprised Rodon to the Yankees, and not really disappointed he's not a Twin. I don't think he would have been a good gamble nor do I think it was realistic to think he would come here when he had other options. I don't think it makes sense to dump a ton of money into Swanson either. JD Martinez, and some serious bullpen help. Pray for health and help from the minors, and thwt 90 wins takes the ALC. And set about fixing the fact free agents don't want to come to Minnesota. Not sure how, but that's an issue.

    Might have to throw in Duensing to get any value.

    My musically inclined cousin, Carlos Santana-Roseannadanna.

    I'm not opposed to blowing it up, in fact I think it probably is the wisest course of action. But I'd wait till summer. Both Mahle and Maeda would most likely fetch more then than now, if they prove healthy. Nobody is paying full price for either today, when both are coming back from injury. If we get to July and it's another lost season, dump it all then. Gray, Mahle, Maeda, Polanco at minimum.
  18. USAFChief
    Why the sarcasm?? The Twins were "in on" both of those two.
  19. USAFChief
    Not your best work, Nick.
  20. USAFChief
    I'll take the over on $18m per.
  21. USAFChief
    Vasquez was an overpay, made necessary by the front office's putting themselves in the position of needing him really, really badly. They HAD to basically give Vasquez way more than he was worth.
  22. USAFChief
    I came here just to see the "Well we tried REAL hard" article, with similar comments, and TD didn't disappoint. Anybody still sticking with their "we only got Farmer as a backup" stance?
  23. USAFChief
    Since you're arguing in this thread against spending like the Padres to avoid the inevitable crash, arguing the Padres haven't been successful, and want "development front and center," yes. How else would I take that?
  24. USAFChief
    You said earlier you want "development." What does THAT have to do with comparing the Twins and Padres payroll?? Nothing. Zip. Zilch. The two things are unrelated, but can certainly co-exist. Like with...your favorites, the Dodgers. The Twins can spend more, AND they can do a better job developing.
  25. USAFChief
    I was hoping I wouldn't ever see that ******* windup again. Just another reason to hate the White Sox.
