    Payroll is far from the only expense incurred in operating a major league ball club and the supporting minor league system.

    Maeda will be a nightmare wherever he ends up. I know it would scare the bejesus out of me as a hitter to see him on the mound about to let one go toward me with his eyes squeezed shut like that. :-)

    The worry is that strikeouts mean more pitches thrown, and more pitches thrown means more wear and tear, and more wear and tear means shorter careers and more searching for replacements. Maybe less of a problem in the era of free agency. Sigh

    Old guy kinda wishing for old days as a fan. Reality bites, no matter who's ass is under the teeth.

    I'm apologizing at the start. I have no idea where I should post this, or how. So it is pretty much completely off topic, but....As an old guy my late onset retardation grows daily. For years I have complained to my friends that the Twins didn't have a pitching coach who was worth paying for the position. For the record, I love what Wes Johnson has done with the staff, and I hope the Twins lock him up for a long time.

    Hard to say for sure, but some prospects are going to fall off the 40 man roster, and unless they let them go for nothing, a trade seems likely.

    Arraez is likely to be Marwin Gonzales come 2021, opening 2nd for someone else.

    I wonder if any of the prospects might push Cave off the opening day roster. I'm not sure if he is out of options or not. Seems likely.
  9. oregontwin
    Agreed!
  10. oregontwin
    I counted it to the 10th barring postponements. Probably neither will turn out to be right.

    Doesn't 8 players with 20+ home runs also set some sort of record? Been tickling my memory, but I can't remember for sure.

    Seems probable that simply adding muscle has increased his bat speed and shortened his swing.

    Seems to me that Reed has made too many fielding mistakes in the outfield. We have better options.

    How many of you got paid to go to college?
  15. oregontwin
    Who does he cost us?

    You could just as easily say that Sano is oft injured and May is a potential 40 save man. Can only say the May ended the season on a higher note than Sano.

    28 blown saves last year. Even winning a third of them would have made this team look a lot better. Maybe Romero to the bullpen for a while would not be a bad idea.

    Why Baldelli instead of Espada? Seems an inside track on what the Astros do to succeed, might be an advantage.

    I suspect Doug may have butted heads with upper management. He is a winner though.
  20. oregontwin
    I think some players are not being called up because their situation with the Twins is firm and we will be seeing them in time. Others are more unknown and this is a great time to begin evaluating them before we have to begin trimming the 40 man roster this winter.

    Hey, does anyone remember the geometric proof style commercial about why it was important to have your kid circl led by Bert to prevent them from becoming a White Sox fan? I'd love to share that one with my wife, but can't find it anywhere. Maybe a link from someone smarter than me???

    OK, so let me say that for me it was bad. I live in Oregon and had tickets to 7 Twins games this year, without seeing a win. That said, I do not believe they are that bad. Offensively they are middle of the road with room for improvement with the talent on hand. Defensively, potentially costing some offense, some people have to suck it up or go elsewhere. For the first time in years the outfield shows promise of being outstanding, which will help whatever pitchers they can come up with. Pitching being a subject hard to talk about. What happened to pitchers who started a game with the idea of finishing it? Who cares if you throw 97 mph but can only go 4 innings? How about some guys with the moxy and guts to go deeper? Is this a catching or pitching problem? A great pitcher makes the entire team look good. A great catcher can make the pitcher look good. I'm not sure where that balances out. We are not the worst Twins team ever, but we do need to solve the defensive problems, and instill a winning mindset to our pitching staff; which may require a pitching overhaul and a lower level change in development.
