  1. Lynn will be one of the better starters in the market. If we get a player that can help this season, it will be by trading Lynn. I would also like to see Ecobar extended for 3 seasons.
  2. When a team is under performing, I don't bother to look at the end of the bench, because the problem isn't there. Grossman will get beat out one these spring trainings.
  3. There's also a good chance none of them will be problems and only a return to health and the usual tweeking is all that's needed. We aren't the first team in the history of sports that has seen their season derailed by injuries to key players.
  4. Truly a superior move. A good team like our Twins can do a lot with 7.25M in free agency. As you may recall, most on the board predicted 86-92 wins going into this season. We lost our catcher, we lost our SS, we lost our All-Star pitcher. Our 2 brightest stars have missed several months, and Mauer missed over a month. You can rebuild if you want, I know better.
  5. Romero's rookie debut went pretty well. Now that the book is out on him, time for a little more player development so he can reach his lofty ceiling. Belisle was always a plan C pickup until a deal can be made at the deadline. Board scapegoat or not he pitched very well after 6-15 last season. No one at 1 Twins Way has thrown in the towel. Our players who missed so much time will be back at some point . The key is getting Buxton and Polanco in the lineup everyday. If I recall correctly, the Royals were underperforming in 2104 until the end of the season, when they rallied and saved the GM and managers jobs. Improvement is not always linear.
  6. By completely different team, I assume you mean all of our best players will be back. Every year in every sport, some team runs into injury trouble.
  7. They saved 7.25M and received a decent catching prospect for pie-in-the-sky.
  8. Trading Hughes was an excellent move.
  9. You don't DFA players with trade value. Odorizzi will be pitching in The Show for the next 3-4 years.
  10. Like those shiny new things do you? Odorizzi will be back next season. Lynn is the tough call because we can't give him a qualifying offer and is too valuable an asset to simple allow to walk. I believe we will trade him at the deadline for back of the pen help.
  11. No the real thing. A solid 3 with a good track record, will be valuable at the deadline. For those who don't know, we will be buyers and sellers.
  12. If it's not broken, don't fix it.
  13. Getting Mauer back is a good first step, but we still need Buxton and Polanco in the lineup every day to stay in the hunt. I would leave Sano in the minors until he becomes a world beater again.
  14. I'm guessing we will look for help for the back of our pen. Lynn will get us what we need.
  15. Solid pick up. If we trade him, we will get an arm and a leg. I wouldn't mind giving him a qualifying offer.
  16. The Pohlads are absentee owners. I doubt they could answer the one question required to become a member here. By the way, I been following the game for over 50 years. Could you explain to me and the board, WTF country club rules are and why the doom and gloomers on the board, continue to accuse our favorite team of this practice?
  17. Neither one of those 2 have anything to do with our current woes. Those keeping score at home would do well to see if Polanco and Buxton can match their second halves last season.
  18. So it looks like we have drafted well since 2012, and have consistently done well in IFA also. Who would have guessed?
  19. According to current board standards, the Indians haven't accomplished anything since 1948.
  20. He was brought in to help us win games, just like last season where I believe he was our best pitcher after 6-15.
  21. If they can't take the heat, time to get out of the fire.
  22. No to 2018 and no to 2019.
