  1. The Twins could also go after arbitration eligible places that are on the cusp (up or down) that could pan out and give the team 1-3 years of service to supplement the young guys. I doubt that any free agent would sign with the team...even if the Twins offered loot. I mean, would Tori Hunter come back. Johan Santana. Jim Thome, even....all on the downside end of their career and could shine and contribute as teachers and inspiration in a rebui lding environs.
  2. And to work on their stuff. Let Hendriks take one for the team and give up 50 runs!
  3. better yet try to predict the off-season 40-man, who will be around from present company to start 2013. I doubt that anyone will bring a top-notch prospect...probably a possible overpaid aribitration player.
  4. The Twins have the potential to dump salary if this season goes on: Pavano, Capps, Doumit, Liriano for example, all could be gone. Marquis won't be a factor in 2013. Baker will be gone. Hell, if someone made an offer for Willingham and the Twins entered rebuild mode, it could happen. The Twins can have a Mauer back-up in 2013 from the minors. They can make Jamey Carroll a high paid utility guy (as well as Toshi). Parmelee and Morneau can share 1B/DH duties until the Twins define a need and salary for Morneau in 2014 and beyond. Benson, Revere and pan ain't a bad outfield if push comes to show. The starting staff IS a shambles. Diamond, DeVries, Hendricks, Blackburn, Manship perhaps, and pray for rain. But besides Perkins, holdovers Burnett, Duensing, Swarzak and someone from the Gary/Burton/Mahoney/Wise/Waldrop quintet, the Twins have Guerra and Guiterrez as well as still Slama. The Twins should easily hit $75 million in 2013 for payroll.
  5. A lot of weekday tickets do go unused during the spring because of school and such, and group sales aren't as big. But the Twins have sold a guaranteed 2,500,000 seats for the year. That is a positive for them. Unfortuntely, 5,000 tickets are still available on a walk-up basis, and no one will touch those when seats are going for as little as $5 on StubHub, even against former sellouts like the Red Sox. Unless the team drastically turns around, ti won't be hard to find reasonable tickets for any game, and once you get in the stadium, you can pick and choose from the empty seats to sit your butt in if the usher is preoccupied, which they seem to be a lot in most sections. But, yes...last year we could sell our Yankee, Brewer and Red Sox tickets and basiczlly pay for ALL our other tickets. Speculators are being burned this year big time. Poor guys on the corner with the "Will Buy Ticket" signs -- why are they doing this?
  6. Were the Twins clearing a 40-man spot for Bowen, perhaps. Although doing so with any number of other folks (Gray, Burton for example) would've worked easily as well.
