    Great job!
  2. howieramone2
    In 2-3 years Darvish will be the next Nick Blackburn. When they dump him in the pen, he'll be the next Jim Hoey.
  3. howieramone2
    Actually, no one knew what it was going to take. Why do you think this has dragged out for so long?
  4. howieramone2
    Berrios in 2016 is the reason why. Mejia, Gonsalves, and Romero with all get their chance, in the not too distant future. Lewis is untouchable.
  5. howieramone2
    There are probably 10-15 starters out there that would be acceptable to me. I don't lust after the mythical ace, and Lewis is untouchable.

    The future star power is basically teenagers. The system is deep, and in the next year or so, we will see plenty of helium. One of the top 10 teams in baseball, with one of the top 10 farm systems in the not too distance future. The franchise, could not possibly be more healthy.
  7. howieramone2
    1/2 Santana and Berrios 3 Free agent 4/5 Most likely a one year, make good free agent/Gibson 6/7 Mejia/Gonsalves My guess is Duffey will be long relief/spot starter with May as a wildcard.
  8. howieramone2
    Bard and Burdi both missed a lot of time due to injuries. I'm all for letting those with substantial injury risk go. It's not like the minor league free agents to go were Trout or Kershaw. Losing decent prospects is the cost of improving.

    I don't know anything about Miley, but I believe we will make this type of signing, in addition to one of the top 4. I don't want to hear about blocking. The fear of blocking lead to 2016, and in particular Berrios crapping the bed.
  10. howieramone2
    I never said that though did I. Going back a few posts, I never said the board was specifically screaming for Haley either. Just say no to myths!
  11. howieramone2
    Looks like Haley has become Falvey's David Ortiz. Silly me, I've always thought Rule 5 had about as much to do with winning, as what color uniform the team wore on a particular day. It's the slow season, let's keep this thread going. I'm predicting Kinley will follow the Scott Diamond path and not the Haley path. The prospect we trade to Miami, will instantly become a board favorite, and Kinley will remain a board scapegoat.
  12. howieramone2
    18 innings is not an abomination. The board was screaming to see shiny new things, of which Haley was one. Doesn't anyone else want to stop beating the Rule 5 horse?
  13. howieramone2
    There is absolutely no hurry. Kinsley doesn't have a prayer of making it. May will most likely start on the DL and Pineda may be available in September. We have the numbers on our side. Things have a way working themselves out over time.
  14. howieramone2
    I agree it was, but I think we've made some decent moves to fix that. The 2nd round pick from the Madison area in the 2016 draft and the one we received from Seattle for IFA money. Until those two are ready, you can always find backup catchers in free agency.
  15. howieramone2
    Boshers will be in The Show sometime in 2018. I was surprised how many teams only had one lefty in the pen last season. Note at the trade deadline, of the 4 arms we picked up, 3 were lefties, ala Andy MacPhail.
  16. howieramone2
    I like Meija or Gonsalves as first man up this season. I didn't want to see Gonsalves brought up for just a spot start last season, but would like to see him get the ball every 5th game for at least 7 or 8 starts, not unlike Gibson and May in the past. Pitching depth for our favorite team is getting very close to respectable.
  17. howieramone2
    If Hughes is 100% healthy, it only makes sense to give him one last chance. Maybe Rob Antony can dump him on the Angels at the trade deadline. May has only pitched 45 innings in the past 2 years combined. It's kind of like Tyler Jay, we can't wait for them to build up starter's innings. It's time for both, to go to the bathroom, or get off the pot.
  18. howieramone2
    I never saw anything which even closely resembles that statement. I do recall one of the selling points that made the Twins job attractive, was that we only had the one problematic contract.
  19. howieramone2
    The Astros have definitely become the flavor of the month, but they must be getting close to being tapped out. I would never mention them in the same breath as the Cubbies, Yankees, etc.
  20. howieramone2
    Last I saw, 31 moves have been made so far in free agency, 3 by the Twins. They took starting pitching 3,4, and 5 in the draft. At the deadline they added 4 arms. The 3 moves they have made in free agency were for pitching. Nothing is lackadasical, nor incomprehensible.
  21. howieramone2
    The first player Falvey talked to when he got the job was Giminez. I expect him back. I have never heard anyone from the Twins say anything positive about Garver. When Garver was called up, someone asked Molly how that would effect the catching rotation. Molly flat out said, we don't have any catching concerns. When John Ryan Murphy was traded, Falvey was very complimentary. When the host tried to corner him on Garver, he wouldn't bite.
  22. howieramone2
    I certainly hope you are not thinking Alex Meyer and Trevor May. The only thing blocking those 2 is lack of ability. You do understand all of of our star players are TR's guys right. A bad contract is a bad contract, no matter how you spin it.
  23. howieramone2
    Our favorite team was in the hunt 2 of the past 3 seasons. If they made no changes whatsoever, they would still be stronger in 2018 than those 3 teams, and we have already made 3 solid moves with all kinds of time left. We can contend in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, blindfolded with one hand tied behind our back.
  24. howieramone2
    There are no signs whatsoever that they are ignoring 2018, in favor of 2019. Patience is a virtue.
  25. howieramone2
    Pineda
