    Darvish accepted one of the worst contracts in all of baseball. Coming in second is going to be one of the all time best decisions the franchise has ever made.

    The Pale Hose GM is starting his 6th year and just finished his tear down at the trade deadline. You won't see them for quite some time.
  3. howieramone2
    A bad contract is a bad contract, regardless of how you spin it.
  4. howieramone2
    I'm expressing my opinion, if that's okay. Two years if he's great, four more years if he sucks. Six years for 126-150M. It will easily be one of the 10 worst.

    The Darvish contract is one of the 10 worst in baseball. Let's see what Theo does with an anchor around his neck.

    They had already been rebuilding for over a year. Ryan was brought back as GM towards the end of 2011. We received Worley as part of the tear down.

    80-90% probability, Lloyds of London took on the contract at it's inception, so the shoulder injury occurred within the policy period. No idea what the going rate is. Agreed, Lloyds of London is not State Farm. Lloyds is what's called a non-admitted company, which means there is little or no regulation. They can offer whatever they want.

    I don't see Kinley making the team, we've made too many win now moves to carry a rookie. I see Moya as a replacement for Duke at some point in time.
  9. howieramone2
    Wow!
  10. howieramone2
    An insurance contract can be for any length. In fact it can be continuous. Theo would be a fool for not insuring Darvish's contract for 6 years.
  11. howieramone2
    We have all kinds of depth. Half a season without Polanco is not a season changer.
  12. howieramone2
    Yeah, let them get real jobs.
  13. howieramone2
    He'll be fine. The past 2 seasons he's been victimized at times by over usage. With a set role he should shine. He is going to benefit as much as anyone by our improved bullpen.
  14. howieramone2
    Grossman is not going anywhere. Granite and Wade have zero power. Cave is insurance in case Rosario or Kepler are out for an extensive period of time. If so, Grossman and Cave will be expected to minimize the power shortage. Cave is a solid pickup with late developing power and 3 options. Excellent depth move for the next few seasons.
  15. howieramone2
    It's not like he was trying to make the '27 Yankees.
  16. howieramone2
    I'm guessing the Bad News Bears.
  17. howieramone2
    I don't do any research or look up anything on this board, everything is off the top of my head. I save research etc., for the Gopher boards. I told them where to look, if they choose not to, no big deal.

    Feel free to contact LaVelle. He always leaves contact info. Once again, I'm not the only member who reads the sports page.
  19. howieramone2
    My definition is a complete rebuild from tear down to the play-offs. If there is no tear down, you're comparing apples to oranges.
  20. howieramone2
    LaVelle wrote the article in May or June. The crux of the article was all of our current stars are TR guys. He specifically mentioned Sano and Kepler. LaVelle always leaves contact information, so feel free to contact him. I know I'm not the only member of the board that reads the sports page.
  21. howieramone2
    LaVelle wrote an article in the Strib. I've cited it several times previously.
  22. howieramone2
    Our favorite team has only the one problematic contact. Most teams have several. I don't downgrade players who have been injured. Let it play out. It's possible he may be worth 3-6 million as a long reliever, and Rob Antony can dump him on the Angels at the deadline. What happens to Hughes is not going to be a season changer.
  23. howieramone2
    Exactly! Berrios got thrown to the wolves. We're past that. With patience and luck, we're going to have a great big lefty in the middle of the rotation for some time to come, and shortly thereafter we may have the mythical ace if Romero can refine his change up.
  24. howieramone2
    He traded what he had to trade for Alex Meyer and Trevor May. In other words, the teardown was completed within months. Name a mid-market team that completed their rebuild faster than the Twins. No one has ever been able to do that.
  25. howieramone2
    Hughes had a very good first year and got an extension. That's a no-brainer. Enough of the hindsight. Just in case people forget, TR was in charge of IFA during the Bill Smith era, not to mention he pioneered the IFA initiative circa 2005 or 2006.
