    Here is something which may surprise a few of you In their last year at the Dome in 2009, the Twins pretax earnings were almost as large as they were at Target Field in 2010. Forbes Magazine reported that the Twins had 162 million dollars in revenue and realized pretax earnings of 25million. The 9th highest in Baseball. This is at the Dome!! The opening day payroll was 65,299,267. The Twins were way below the 50% of Revenue that the Twins sell us. This probably accounts for their large 2009 earnings. In their first year at Target Field, Forbes reported revenue of 213million with pretax earnings of 26.5 million. Starting day payroll was 97500 which again falls below 50% of revenue. Here is two years of under paying the Payroll based on 50% of Revenue. We will only be reminded of the payroll over payment of 2011. Don't ever expect the Media and the Phil Mackey's of the World, to ever bring up the years that the Twins under paid their payroll.

    I would much rather have the improvements go to the Pitching Staff.

    Last Season, the Pohlads sold more tickets then 26 other Teams. That includes Major Market Teams, such as the Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels. The prices on those Tickets, were the 6th highest in Baseball for non premium seating. Those Fans were treated to an awful Product. After the Record setting support they gave the Twins, Pohlad chose to slash the payroll. I rest my case.

    Well, if this is true, some good things can be done in the off season with the current financial commitment.

    "That's one the great things about the game of baseball; a team can be good for multiple seasons and then go through a rough patch for multiple years." I don't get it?? Watching a bad product for a number of years is one of the great things about Baseball? Who is going to pay for this Team during the rough patch? The Season Ticket Holders? They deal with the 5th highest average Ticket price in Baseball. They will be more then happy to pay for a bad product, since it's one of the great aspects of Baseball. Then you have the rest of the Fans at Target Field who are paying high prices for Tickets and Food. I'm sure that they will be thrilled about witnessing some of the great aspects of Baseball. For the Fans spending money on this Team, multiple years of bad Baseball will not be a good thing. If no one spends Money, you do not have a Franchise. P.S Great work on the Blog's and reports. I just have a different opinion on this one.

    If it is so easy to find good Bullpen arms, why then is Gray on this team?
  22. Highabove
    Blackburn and the Twins battle all night, just to have it thrown away by a pitcher who should not even be on the staff.

    The trading frenzy talk reached a peak when a few folks suggested that we should trade Buxton and Sano. Hopefully this fever is over until next December.

    Why do so many people want to trade Burton and Perkins? Two cheap power arms and trade for what?? Supposedly, bullpen arms are easy to pick up, but ours will bring in a boat load of prospects. Perkins and his agent showed the Twins some goodwill by signing a long term under value contract, so lets burn him for a C prospect before the ink is even dry. That will put out a good message. The Twins would be foolish to trade away a couple of cheap, effect power arms. On one hand, there is a lot of complaining about the over abundance of starting soft tossers. At least we have a couple of very good power relievers, but both should be traded.
