    Looks like the Twins don't rebuild, they reload

    I agree that you can never have too much pitching, but having a lot of pitcher competing for spots doesn't mean you have good pitching. I think any offseason ranking of SP will have the Twins at the bottom 5 in staffs and the worst in the central. Being league average is the upside for this staff. The hope for this team is the young pitchers. If Meyers is a top of the rotation pitcher, it will make a huge difference, but I think you need to commit to giving him the job out of spring training. He'll have his up and down's but you have to ride it out in hopes he is the player they traded a good starting major league CF three years ago. So No, I don't think they are doing it right if the goal is to be World Series contender. If you are hoping for an average team and a .500 record, Yes they are building the right way.

    With the recent signings, they have really committed to keeping a payroll above $100 million through at least 2017. In 2017, they will have about $70 million committed to 5 players with not counting Dozier in his second year of arbitration and Arcia in his 3rd year. I hope the commitment to these player pay off but I would be concerned about Mauer, Santana, and Nolasco being on the downside of the career and receiving big money.

    Adding wins through free agency cost about $7 million per win, so a to get to 85 losses, it will cost about $49 million. Ryan may have done it by spending only an additional $25 million. GM of the year.

    On the surface, it's hard to not like the Santana signing because he will improve the rotation. What I'm having a hard time understanding is what is the FO's plan. Last year we had one of the oldest pitching staff that is now getting older. After another 90 lost season, we should be building not plugging holes. If Mays and Meyers are not ready yet, it's a big miss by Ryan. We gave up two every day players for prospect that have not contributed and are already 25+. Worley was also received in the trade and released and he performed better than most of the rotation. Drafting college relief pitchers and trying to convert them to starter has not worked and now talking about maybe moving your best top level pitching prospect to the bullpen just doesn't give me confidence the FO has a plan. Just throwing stuff against the wall and hoping something sticks.
