    First, it takes 8 starters to get through a season, on average. Dobnak/Smeltzer/Thorpe should be options 5/6/7 not 3/4/5. It's very likely at least one of them will be a complete bust, and it's unlikely any of the 3 will be a legit #3 starter in 2020. As currently constructed I would certainly take the Field to win the AL Central over the Twins. Forget worrying about play-offs.

    On a sunny day, you might not pay $50 for an umbrella. When it's pouring rain, you will. The Twins rotation has black clouds hanging over it. And Falvey is sitting with a roll of $50's looking for a "deal" and the umbrella store just sold out.

    We all knew the 1st round sweep was likely coming. Still frustrating, but we were braced for it. But many believed the front office when they said they would "go for it" even though they never have before. Because there was a new sheriff. Learning he's just like old sheriff is incredibly frustrating and depressing as a fan. It's also not fun feeling like you were lied to.

    It seems like there's an awful lot guys we are assuming are available with no evidence. Price is available. The rest of them probably only if we want to overpay.
  5. howeda7
    It's pretty obvious they didn't. Did they make "big $ offers" yes. Were they the highest bidder on anyone? I doubt it. But "no one wants to come here."
  6. howeda7
    Any idiot could just go sign players to plug the massive holes on their roster. Where's the challenge in that? Smart guys like Falvey know better.
  7. howeda7
    It probably wouldn't have. But you still had a lead in the division and the best offense in team history. If you don't go for it then, you never will. They didn't know in July 2006 that Liriano's arm was about to fall off either. It doesn't justify clinging to Kevin Slowy and Scott Baker instead of adding Soriano and letting Jason Tyner DH.

    Too late now.

    The three biggest FO flops of the last 30 years are: -Not acquiring a starter at the deadline last year -Not acquiring a bat at the deadline in 2006. -Not addressing the 2020 rotation. Congrats, Falvey, you've outdone Terry Ryan in only 3 years.

    If I spend any $ going to Twins games this year, they will be road games.
  11. howeda7
    I believe Falvey got caught thinking he was the smartest guy in the room. Both at the trade deadline and now. Instead he looks like an inexperienced fool in way over his head.
  12. howeda7
    I think Boy Wonder intended to show the rest of the league how smart he is and got pantsed.
  13. howeda7
    Stop with the excuses. We didn't get Keuchel or Ryu because we wouldn't pay what it took to get them. Period.
  14. howeda7
    It's a false choice, MSP is not KC. But even if this was the choice, give me the WS every time.
  15. howeda7
    May as well switch focus to the next window. Rosario, Cruz, Buxton, Sano, Rodgers and Berrios likely won't be here for it. Think of all the prospects they can net!
  16. howeda7
    Best season in 10 years. Best offense in franchise history. So we cut $20 million in payroll and try to hand the division to the Sox/Indians. Short of Donaldson (he's not coming, why would he) there's no one left to spend big $$ on. Pathetic.
  17. howeda7
    Front office total system failure complete. This is as frustrated as I've been with this franchise since contraction. It's one thing to be bad. It's another to not even try. Fire Falvey or sell the team. Change something. This will never work. (And yes I know neither is happening for years to come.)
  18. howeda7
    At this point, I'd trade play-off appearances for the next 3 years for a new owner and new front office.
  19. howeda7
    It feels like it, because we are. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. But with stats.
  20. howeda7
    I hope he signs somewhere today so we can learn how we were thisclose to getting him.
  21. howeda7
    Before everyone gets excited, everyone knows that Donaldson spent his childhood summers at a church camp outside Gainesville, VA and has no interest in coming to our frozen tundra.
  22. howeda7
    The Twins consider adding stops to the Winter Caravan a big announcement though.
  23. howeda7
    If they have to rely on these guys with no veteran help, Falvey and Levine have failed massively at their jobs.
  24. howeda7
    None of the FA contracts or trades are going to "make sense" you're either going to overpay and upgrade your rotation and your punting on 2020.
  25. howeda7
    If they will eat $12 million/year so we pay him $20, I would do it.
