    The Twins have millions of loyal and knowledgeable fans. No one is qualified to speak for them. Escobar refused an extension and was traded, which is a commonly accepted policy. It's only a matter of time until we win the Pressly trade.

    Too many fans confuse free agency with Christmas. Free agency has been the market of last resort for many years, particularly for mid-market teams. Sustainability is the new black.

    No need to wait. MLB.com has us 4th in their first power rankings of the year. We ended last season 4th also.

    Ted, no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy.

    We missed out on one pitcher because he likes horses and another because his girlfriend and dog prefer being out east. Sign JD and trade for a starting pitcher and we have completed the best offseason in team history. Early on, only Atlanta and our favorite team signed 2 players in MLBTR's top 20 free agents. We were the only one to sign 2 starting pitchers. Impact starting pitcher Odorizi and impact starting pitcher Pineda. At no time did our FO say impact pitching would be restricted to those unfamiliar with where the restrooms were located at Target Field. Also, MLB.com in their first power rankings of the year showed us 4th.

    We don't need another Mauer contact. Cole doesn't come with a guarantee to win a ring.

    At some point in time, pitching becomes a numbers games. In the bullpen, I think we won the numbers game. I like our numbers of young starters, but don't feel we will be in position to win until year end 2020. We're close.

    Right now we're in good shape with 3 months to go. The only role I see our fine group of rookies filling is the Pineda void.
  9. howieramone2
    My guess is we sign one SP towards the top of the menu. Bring in 2 reclamation projects, up and comers etc., to fight it out for the 5th spot and use our rookies to fill the Pineda void.

    Don't forget to factor in he probably had to pee in the worst way.

    White Sox or Twins, I'm convinced it didn't much matter to the wife, she wanted to be close to her family. I don't understand it myself, but some people think family is more important than baseball.
  12. howieramone2
    I'm prepared to say losing out on Wheeler was out of the Twins hand. A happy wife is more important than a million dollars here and there.
  13. howieramone2
    Two wrongs don't make a right. If there truly was a Stupidity Tax, by the time it was our favorite teams turn to pay, Twins Daily would be a distant memory.

    You've defined "impact pitching" too narrowly. You've confused it with buying the most expensive thing on the menu. By the end of the 2020 season, we will be able to look back and see a dozen or more examples of "impact pitching", many of which are not apparent at this moment.
  15. howieramone2
    I'll take the over. I'm predicting the greatest off season in franchise history.
  16. howieramone2
    You could say that about every team in every sport. Any team that comes in second "didn't try".
  17. howieramone2
    This is well done. I like that you made us younger with Gallen and Anderson.
  18. howieramone2
    It's not at all like Phil Hughes. He had a great year, our FO was very savvy to sign him to an extension. Then injuries derailed his career, as it has some many others. Injuries are part of the game, hindsight isn't.
  19. howieramone2
    I think pine tar is a gateway drug.
  20. howieramone2
    The situation is fluid. I have complete confidence in our FO.
  21. howieramone2
    Our favorite team picked up 2 solid relievers at the trade deadline for little or nothing. They have enough prospects to get what many, including some of the national experts will view as good starters.
  22. howieramone2
    Who said they won't get 2 good pitchers? They may even pick up 3. Don't confuse free agent pitchers with good pitchers. Free agency has been the market of last resort for many years, and it's become even more clear the past 2 off-seasons.
  23. howieramone2
    The Mets recently said he won't be traded. Also, MLB.com had him as one of the 20 most overrated players. Looks like another Chris Archer to me.
  24. howieramone2
    The past is not a perfect predictor of the future. To me it's a foregone conclusion the new regime will have another solid off-season.
  25. howieramone2
    Escobar wanted to test the free agent market pure and simple. We're still going to win the Pressly trade. Selling high is always a good move. Always.
