    But the team doesn't really suck, and one of the laws of baseball is every mid-market team must rebuild at some point in time.

    Garver is pie-in-the sky. Gimenez is a proven vet. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

    5 of our last 6 first rounders were high school kids. I don't recall a single word from our favorite team about "quick to the majors". That nonsense comes from the fan board. Also, I continue to hear crap about our drafting relievers high. Is there anyone on the board, able to see the big picture, critical of these picks? Hrbowski, could use your expertise here.
  4. howieramone2
    Bingo!

    Dave, anyway you could keep us posted on Pinto, Arcia, Meyer, and Joe Benson? Also, weren't you the member who said Zack Jones would be the next David Ortiz? Let's keep our fingers crossed. This could be the year Berrios pitches game 163.

    We were talking about the farm system. The 2012 draft was one of the strongest I recall, and every one since has given every indication it will be successful also. I'm sure I don't have to remind you a successful draft is defined as one which provides 2 contributors. I challenge you to provide anything thing at all in print that doesn't show our favorite team is among the best in IFA. Ben Balder at BA has always been very complimentary. Also, I'm sure you know most IFA signing are 16 years old. You wouldn't expect to see those signed in the past 5 years in the majors.

    You do know we have the second youngest team in all of baseball right?
  8. howieramone2
    They weren't overly lucky, and Jepsen was a proven vet. Hu is still pie-in-the-sky.
  9. howieramone2
    They are playing .500 ball, and the pitching and defense are much improved. I didn't expect them to win the World Series in the first 6 months.

    The old sheriff said on many occasions, every time he approached ownership about additional funds it was approved. No reason to believe the new sheriff is operating under different constrains. The point is a bad contract was eliminated, and we have plenty of money to spend.
  11. howieramone2
    You are overgeneralizing. Neither you, nor I know what every baseball team does, or can do. Once again, there is a new sheriff in town.
  12. howieramone2
    I believe every business in America has an annual budget, so what's your point?
  13. howieramone2
    There is a new sheriff in town.

    I hate to see it, but expect Buxton to be sent down shortly. We're close to .500, pitching and defense has been better than expected. Need the bats to get going.
  15. howieramone2
    Who says we have to spend it during the offseason? It was money earmarked to be spent in 2017 and we have plenty of 2017 left.
  16. howieramone2
    Miss Nolasco do you? I was thinking about the money it freed up. Who said anything about 3 good starts? He's had a nice career and I figure will get 3 years and 25-30M in free agency.
  17. howieramone2
    On Inside Twins, they said the move to the pen is not permanent. He is still working on a change up. On another note, at this point in time Gonsalves only has 2 dependable pitches.
  18. howieramone2
    Great trade by Rob Antony!
  19. howieramone2
    Bingo!
  20. howieramone2
    Which horrific bench situation is that?
  21. howieramone2
    Nope. Why break up a winning lineup?
  22. howieramone2
    Depth is a good thing. We will hear from Murphy in the future. He spent parts of 3 seasons with the Yanks and Hicks was easy to replace. Catching is certainly not the black hole it once was and he is still young enough.
  23. howieramone2
    If they can accept Sano as the starting 3B, this is small potatoes.
  24. howieramone2
    Personally, I'm happy I don't understand all the moves. Looks like the new regime is not going to just connect the dots. Like Brock said about moving Jay to the pen, the new management team is looking at things differently. For those who acknowledge learning the game of baseball is a lifetime pursuit, this is a great time to learn.
  25. howieramone2
    We will know more at the trade deadline, but a fair assumption is they are looking to contend in 2018. If they decide they want to institute a new 5 year plan, they can still deal Dozier and Ervin at anytime.
