    2 to 3 of the current AA starters are going to make a "real impact" in the next couple years? When, in Twins history, was the last time that happened?
  2. USAFChief
    to be fair, acting is incredibly difficult.
  3. USAFChief
    If the goal is to win the fWAR/dollar spent pennant, it might work out. I'm more interested in winning the WS. BTW, How many WS has Billy Beane won?
  4. USAFChief
    let's hope it wasnt a short sample size mirage. Let's hope Wes Johnson's miracle work is permanent, like we all saw with Martin Perez and his cutter.
  5. USAFChief
    I thought the idea was to have the better players. The goal is spend less?
  6. USAFChief
    which WAR? This is a pretty great example of the complete, utter ridiculousness of WAR...both versions BTW. Homer Bailey had a 4.57 ERA last season, and an ERA over 6 in each of the previous three. He is not one of the 36 best starters in MLB. A "metric" that puts him there is worse than worthless.
  7. USAFChief
    false. Rich Hill and Homer Bailey will be available.
  8. USAFChief
    Hill won't even be ready to pitch until somewhere around mid season. Elbow surgery. Zero chance of 130 innings.
  9. USAFChief
    According to unconfirmed reports, Minnesota Viking officials are already beefing up security for next summer's exhibition games.
  10. USAFChief
    As I said when Ryu went off the board...the offseason is a failure, and recovery isn't possible.
  11. USAFChief
    40 year old Rich Hill, he of less than 1000 IP in a 15 year MLB career. He's due, I guess. But not before mid summer. As for Homer...um...doh?
  12. USAFChief
    a calf injury sticks with you forever? Source?
  13. USAFChief
    define "financial flexibility." What does that mean, precisely? And how is it useful?
  14. USAFChief
    The Redskins didn't add any pitching either, IIRC.
  15. USAFChief
    I guess you gotta give it to Mauer. Which is a pretty damning statement about the 2010s Twins.
  16. USAFChief
    These estimates are from 2018, not 2019.
  17. USAFChief
    marwin wasn't even a league average hitter last year. That's a really bad idea.
  18. USAFChief
    and did it?
  19. USAFChief
    which one?
  20. USAFChief
    The Dodgers released former Twin JT Chargois, who apparently will sign with a team in Japan.
  21. USAFChief
    no, your original sample size came from your own self designed parameters of "below average revenue teams that won the WS over the last 15 years." If you truly want to examine the "history" you would look at "teams who won at least 95 games but failed in the post season, lost 2 of their 5 starters, and added strong starting pitching the next off season." Because that's what those of us who wanted to do just that are disappointed about. The Twins needed it, and they failed at it. The rest of your "sample size" is just noise. Twins revenues...noise. they have ample revenues to sign any FA on the market. Talk of revenues is just a diversionary tactic to let you talk about money, for the 1000th time. It has nothing to do with winning a WS, or the Twins strengths or weaknesses. Nor does your claimed business history, with which you attempt to browbeat other posters. That has zero relevance either. So speaking as a mod, cease and desist that tactic.
  22. USAFChief
    huh? Mauer's first reported concussion was in 2013, IIRC. His "bilateral leg weakness" was in 2011.
  23. USAFChief
    we're coming off a 100 win season and you want to SELL???
  24. USAFChief
    No, I didn't.
  25. USAFChief
    I didn't say it's a lie. I said the only thing we know for sure is what Bumgarner said. And that's true. Its not difficult to believe he actually did, it's also not difficult to understand why he and/or his agent would say that, even if not true.
