    There is more competition not to be competitive than trying to compete next season... Ironic, don't you think?
  2. Vanimal46
    Sad day... Enjoy retirement Joe.

    I am still not a true believer in the strategy UNLESS it's used to help ease in a rookie pitcher. It looked like the strategy helped Kohl Stewart become comfortable under the big lights. There are a lot of questions that haven't been answered with this strategy... When do you graduate a pitcher from primary to a traditional SP? Are they just a primary pitcher forever?

    The landscape is changing across the US. Austin has doubled in size in the last 10 years. Same with Charlotte... I do agree with thrylos' other point that they need to figure out relocation first over expansion. The 2 Florida teams have no fan base and no player willing to sign there. Oakland has been playing in a dump for far too long.

    The off-season is here, and expansion talk is in the air... https://deadspin.com/mlb-expansion-is-probably-inevitable-but-where-and-whe-1830100867 The usual cities are being named as potential spots for new teams... Portland, Montreal, Charlotte. San Antonio was mentioned in the article and said combined with Austin they would have a major network. I can tell you this, very few, if any from Austin would make the drive. Traffic on 35 is an absolute nightmare.

    Good. Needed to happen. Fleck needs to hire an established former HC to run the defense.
  7. Vanimal46
    I would. We've seen every trade deadline bullpen arms are in high demand. If the Twins season goes pear shaped again, they can always trade him for other prospects.
  8. Vanimal46
    I don't think anyone expects this blueprint to happen. Is it okay with you for some of us to dream in one thread?
  9. Vanimal46
    Donaldson is one of the biggest boom/bust free agents out there this year. The Twins should be willing to take that chance. There's only 1-2 players on roster right now that could boom to a star level. Donaldson has shown he's a star if healthy.
  10. Vanimal46
    Love it!
  11. Vanimal46
    It's just one person who told you that so you should let it go and move on. Everyone else is saying the same things you are.
  12. Vanimal46
    Well, we're making progress knowing this D coordinator needs to go immediately after the season. And I think if Fleck is going to make it in a power conference he needs to hire a former head coach or 2 to lead both units.
  13. Vanimal46
    We all could have. Illinois had enough time to drive a Mack semi through the running lanes they created yesterday.
  14. Vanimal46
    The defense is embarrassing... After this game I don't think they win the rest of the season.
  15. Vanimal46
    This organization's had a top 5 farm system for more years than they've been a top 5 MLB team.
  16. Vanimal46
    I'd prefer to aim higher even if it looks like we're set in the OF... Similar to what Milwaukee did. I respect your take though. I agree they need 2-3 really good bullpen arms, a legit SP, middle IF, and someone who can play both 1B/3B.
  17. Vanimal46
    It also prevents the team from signing someone better in the OF. I'm not gambling on this guy being as lucky in 2019 as he clearly was in 2018.
  18. Vanimal46
    Agreed. Do it immediately so he's not taking up a 40 man roster space all winter.
  19. Vanimal46
    Oh boy. This game again.
  20. Vanimal46
    Not gonna turn this into a Kepler thread. My thoughts about him are in the thread dedicated to him. I'm not a believer.
  21. Vanimal46
    I'm fine with this if it's AAA depth. Please go get a real RH OF who can challenge Kepler for the starting job. Knowing the Twins, this will be the move; players like Adam Jones and McCutchen won't be considered.
  22. Vanimal46
    Concur concur concur. The Tigers and White Sox aren't going to wait around and continue to suck forever.
  23. Vanimal46
    Don't forget adding Mejia, Castro, and Pineda off the 60 day DL. So they'll be at 40 already when they add them back.
  24. Vanimal46
    Not a lot of room to add the fringy bubble players when there's already several bubble players on the 40. Are any of these relievers better than Busenitz, Curtiss, and Duffey?
  25. Vanimal46
    Hmm. Had no idea they were playing on a Friday night. Why was that?
