  1. Just graduating from college means you weren't around for the "3 magical weeks" in 87 & 91. As such, you have no clue of which you speak. If the Twins never win another game, I'll die happy. Now get the hell off my grass.
  2. Arraez will need peripheral stats (i.e. power) other than BA
  3. And in doing so we wrote off a whole season. One in which we invested $35 Million in a free agent.
  4. One only has to look at the decline of Sano to understand the impact of Cruz' clubhouse presence.
  5. The Twins used 14 different starting pitchers in 2022. ONE of them performed at a similar level as Berrios. How might things look in 9 months if attempts to replace Berrios hadn't necessitated losing Chase Petty, Spencer Steer, Steve Hajjar & Christian Encarnancion-Strand?
  6. Your 3 most successful teams have combined for ONE World Series win in the last 47 years. Twins have two. Maybe we have different definitions of success.
  7. If the NFL would follow suit and reduce the number of division games it's entirely possible that somebody other than the Packers would have handed the Vikings their asses today.
  8. One you grow ONE home grown pitcher in a generation ya gotta find a way to not let him go.
  9. My resolution is to hope that these youngsters make the lack of off-season free agent moves look genius.
  10. But the opportunity to land a guy named Warts...
  11. If Woods Richardson produces as well as Berrios over the next 6-7 years he'll likely be on the move in 3-4. This team is never going to compete for big name free agent talent. But when they grow their own the can compete to keep it. They NEED to compete to keep it.
  12. For the record I'm fairly certain that the Moneyball board pictured is a free agent board and not a draft board. I don't recall the draft even being mentioned in that movie. So what is your recommendation for if BOTH Freight Train Figueroa & Warts Murphey are available at 5?
  13. I don't care if they make trades with the moon and Mars to get pitching. Angst from the Berrios trade (at least mine) stems from the fact that we're now a year and a half in to it and we have FIVE big league innings pitched to show for it. AND the fact that we traded away the best (only?) home grown pitching talent we've home grown in a generation AND the fact that the team we traded him to signed him to an extension that we easily should have been able to sign him to.
  14. The fairy tale ending would be one of the two spending significant time in the rotation and the other being blocked by Ryan, Gray, Mahle, Maeda, Ober, Winder & Paddack. Hey, a guy can dream.
  15. Can't draw any more conclusions about his 1.46 ERA in 12 innings than we can about Sano's .083 BA in 69 PAs.
  16. My original thought was that we should offer him $275 Million for 8 years. When the Giants deal buckled my thought was that we should go to $313 Million for 11 years. If the Mets deal doesn't go, maybe something like $294 Million for 10 years?
  17. Maybe he'd be happy to live vicariously thru the BIG contracts the AGREED to and actually SIGN the one that we offer(ed) him............
  18. "Going out and creating your own fate" guarantees what?
  19. The plate appearances are contingent on him staying healthy.
  20. Actually, I believe the data would indicate that teams that make BETTER tradesget better faster. But feel free to present conflicting data if available.
  21. If only the Twins could find a right handed bat who averages 38 home runs, 98 RBI, 90 runs scored per 162 games with a career OPS over .800
  22. Lots of things didn't go up when we got rid of Eddie. Including, and most importantly, our winning percentage.
  23. Worth noting that he has not yet bought a championship. Such things are earned, not bought. He might and he might not. Here's to rooting against him.
