    it's almost as if baseball is some kind of business...

    It's not often you run into an ace like Wade David... and have him followed up in the pen by Bruce Chen... That's a brutal duo to run into. I'm impressed they managed to get the hits to leave men on base in the first place...

    PR wise it probably wasn't a good move, but I really don't understand the outrage. It's not like they're kidnapping people, taking 15 bucks out of your wallet and forcing you to watch BP... It was likely... "Hey baseball ops guy... fans always ask me why they can't watch BP... can we just start letting em in early?" "how much would we have to charge to break even on having to staff the stadium early to let fans watch BP?" "IDK... 15 bucks?" "eh that's not that much... let them watch BP" followed by RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE THINGS AREN'T FREE!

    Mike Pelfrey is tied for the league lead in ERA.

    So it sounded like everyone was ready to bury Worley on Twitter early in his start... but he managed to go 6 IP and only give up 3 earned... Obviously not an ideal start... but out of a 3rd starter that's not bad. It's not fair to expect Worley to be an ace just because he's the best player on a turd of a rotation.

    DFA's guys with a ceiling of 4th reliever have never and will never haunt a team

    Straight waiver claim according to LENIII's twitter

    Looks like the Twins need a roster space. I'd assume they have their eye on someone

    I think we're gonna see a wash between the 2. I don't believe either will produce many meaningful innings. I find it amusing how much people are up in arms over the difference between Correa and Pelfrey Vs Marcum and Saunders. They're all near replacement level players. We won't know who is right until after the season, and we'll never know how much of an effort was actually made into signing these guys.

    Short term Cleveland is a better choice than Minnesota. Cubs have always been a good draw for free agents, and are in a better position to contend. Karstens decided to stay with a club he's been at for a while, Liriano wasn't coming back. Iwakuma to the M's... A Japenese player choosing to play in Seattle? Shocking. Also, it's way too early to rip Correia and Pelfrey. As well as it's too early to call ANY signing better than another. You have to wait for the season to play out before you can make any argument of substance.

    No, in the same way you can't tell me the Twins didn't make competitive offers to those players. Teams typically don't negotiate in public, it's bad for business.
  13. The Greatest Poster Alive
    The Twins NEVER made any promises about payroll with this stadium. They just never stopped journalists from claiming it would reach that.
  14. The Greatest Poster Alive
    Explain to me, short of extremely outbidding (overpaying) on both years and money, would a guy with options choose Minnesota this offseason? There's absolutely no draw for a guy to sign a 1 or 2 year deal here when the Twins aren't established contenders. There was a lot of demand for pitching, and that's why only the Correia's and Pelfry's came here.

    If it was a duo this would be easy. The Hicks - Benson particle
  16. The Greatest Poster Alive
    I really hope Benson can put it together. He has all the tools, he just hasn't been able to produce at a high level. If either he or Hicks can take over the starting role at center this team won't miss Span and Revere much.

    Just use snus for gamedays. It's enough nicotine to keep away the cravings, but you don't have to spit. Impossible to spot/stop.

    I'm not feeling any of this love and mutual respect.

    If I was an idiot I hope someone would tell me
  21. The Greatest Poster Alive
    I'm all for more civil discussion, but I hope we're still able to tell an idiot he's an idiot.

    Mauer is not a bad contract yet. Had he posted another clunker of a season it'd be time to worry. But Mauer was not the problem for this team last year.
  23. The Greatest Poster Alive
    His only real value is he can probably be signed cheaply... can play a lot of positions... and would be organizational filler. Perhaps it's worth it if he accepts a spring training invite and is willing to play in Rochester if he can't hack it.

    A coin landing heads or tails is completely independent of the previous outcome of flipping said coin. Sorry, I just really hate that analogy.
  25. The Greatest Poster Alive
    I think Span being upset with the trade rumors is very justified. He signed a team-friendly deal because he wanted to play here, and the Twins start shopping him fairly early in that deal despite him performing well. On top of all that, it was the fact that he had such a team-friendly deal that his trade value was as high as it was. I think he was well within his rights to be upset.
