Process, Results and the Front Office
palmspringstwinsfan commented on Hans Birkeland's blog entry in Hansblog
Tremendous breakdown of this FO and it’s process or lack of it. Maybe the best piece I’ve read on this FO. Thanks -
I suspect we’ll see a trade with the Yankees to get Kiner-Falafa. They don’t need him anymore

Article: Terry Ryan's Foolish Gamble
palmspringstwinsfan replied to John Bonnes's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Excellent analysis, John. This is why I want to come to this site. We are now back to the old, penny wise and pound foolish Terry Ryan. We've seen this before when he didn't try to sign Hunter, who was offering a large hometown discount in the year before free agency. Pitching this year was cheaper than I ever remember, yet the only addition to the staff was Jason Marquis, the very essence of mediocrity. Most of the cut in the Twins payroll comes from reducing the amount paid to pitchers; hardly a way to improve one of the worst staffs in the AL last year. To think that all your pitching problems will be solved by better defense, anchored by a 38 year-old journeyman shortstop is folly. I suspect we will hit just fine this year, but collapse from poor pitching. By mid-season, we could be looking at a fire sale and complete overhaul.
