    I was getting tired of reading about Darvish every other post. It's time to move on.

    This is fun. It's difficult to come up with a list like this but this one is as good as any other.

    I don't pay much attention to talk about the Twins payroll. The Pohlads have lots and lots of money. Suppose the payroll was 200 million. Who could they get for the extra 100 million? MLB players don't grow on trees.

    Great observations. Thanks for this informative post.

    This not the right forum for this type of discussion.

    Trading our best pitcher seem kind of silly to me. We need more good pitchers not less.

    With the Twins offense thse 2 guys could win a lot of games next year. Also the lack of a permanent DH gives Ohtani an opportunity to hit the ball.

    This is a very good point. Well said.

    I don't worry much about loosing some prospects. As a whole our Twins are quite young.

    I think the payroll is dependent on who is signed rather than part of some overall budget. The Pohlads have always been very hands off when it comes to what the FO does. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Twins sign some expensive free agent pitching. Ryan is on record saying that the Pohlads never told him how much to spend or not. I doubt it's any different with the new guys.

    Well he looked good on Sept. 30, 2017 in a game at Target Field.

    I don't get the Sano and weight thing. In pictures he looks very trim and appears to be in great shape. There are tons of photos of him. Google is our friend.

    If the Twins had a couple of plus .300 hitters, they could consider a low BA hitter with a high HR rate. Only 11 guys in the AL hit 300 or above. There isn't many 300 hitters around.

    I don't watch analytics. I watch the games.

    Twins president Jerry Bell once remarked the Eloise Pohlad—Carl’s wife, and undoubtedly the biggest Twins fan ever in the family—liked the team particularly because it was a family thing. The value of the Twins is chump change for the Pohlads. Billions make millions seem small.

    On more than one occasion Ryan said the Pohlads never told him not spend. Also the Twins are minuscule part of the Pohlad's holdings. The Pohlads are worth billions. Business wise there is no reason to own the Twins. They aren't doing it for the money so I figure they are doing it for fun.

    I think the Pohlads will spend whatever the FO guys want. I don't think money is an issue. Owning the Twins is a hobby for them not a business.

    Well they did get the team to the playoffs. That hasn't happened for years. Besides some of the staff have already been replaced.
  19. Broker
    Guess that takes care of that.

    Why even ask this question? The players are probably going to get better as they mature. He managed a playoff team this year. It's not like there is a bunch of experienced managers looking for work. Who knows he might want to retire. He's at retirement age and baseball is a very time consuming business.

    Well, April, 2018 is only about 6 months away. 2017 was fun so maybe 2018 will be more fun.
  22. Broker
    Tuesday's roster is only good for the WC game. It can be targeted specifically for the Yankees. Does the divisional roster stay the same through the rest of the playoffs or can it change for the WS?
  23. Broker
    At least the Twins are fun to watch again. Sure there is room for improvement but don't forget they will have the 5th best record in the AL. That's better than 10 other teams.
  24. Broker
    Not looking good so far. . .

    It sure is fun to listen to meaningful games at the tail end of September. It brings back fond memories.
