    I would think SWR has the inside track at least. In his 28 starts last year, he gave up more than 3 runs only 4 times. I though he did a real good job of competing and giving the Twins a chance to win almost every time out as the team went 17-11 in games he started.

    Interesting point. Not sure if the knuckleball grip would put the wrong kind of pressure on his rehabbed middle finger. Makes me think the Bruce Sutter split-finger grip would hold interest for him.

    Vic Power was rangy, flashy and smooth playing first base. I do remember him playing far off the bag and there were times you would think he's not gonna make it to the bag in time to take a throw, but he did. He was also very intelligent and just generally talented and even was a credentialed MLB photographer later on. And best of all to a baseball loving kid, he was on my paper route.

    Heyyyyyy . . . c'mon.

    So, I send a letter from Paris inquiring about the start of spring training. His secretary says to him, "Hey, we got an inquiry from France." Derek goes and signs the guy. Putz.

    I wonder . . . if Reese didn't have that great '69 season, would the Twins have traded Graig Nettles?

    We could probably add some Oakland jokes here, but since California is literally a hot mess right now, i don't think so.

    Yeah, having raw sewage entering the dugouts on occasion is probably a good indicator that you need a new home.

    Byron's abilities might be the same, but I don't think his confidence is which hampers his performance on difficult plays. Pretty normal for a guy who has had serious run-ins with the wall out there.

    Your classic hard-luck pitcher.

    I find it interesting that the most similar hitter listed over at BBref is Greg Byrd, the guy Mike Ford was competing with for 1B reps with the Yankees. I have to admit I don't understand the budget freeze if you're going to sell the team. What difference does a few million make when you stand to sell the team for over $1 Billion?

    Carlos signed for one year and played for one year. Deal fulfilled. No comparison.

    The Twins should just call up and install Aaron Sabato at first base. Now, we all know he'll probably set the all-time strikeout record, but thats the point. The fans could cheer every strikeout as the count down to immortality glows on the scoreboard. Gotta find ways to enjoy your baseball.

    Especially if Tom wears that hat.

    Dave Goltz.

    Oh man . . . best quote of the week.

    Eddie Bane wants a do-over.

    And, 3 teams later. Oakland picked him up on a waiver claim from Kansas City.

    OMG, that photo with Terry Ryan. I swear he's thinking, "If anybody brings up David Ortiz, I'm gonna fling this water bottle at them." Good find Seth.

    I commented on this in a different thread and received about the same response as Vanimal46 gave above. Not saying Vanimal is necessarily wrong, but the Twins would be desperately foolish to not pursue Mr. Sasaki's services. Acquiring his talents would already make the off season a success, no matter the teams sale outcome and all.

    And that's probably the high end.

    Japan's best pitcher Roki Sasaki has been posted and is available to MLB teams. He's only 23 years old witch makes him an Amateur Free Agent by MLB rules and can only sign a minor league contract limited to a teams bonus pool. If I understand it correctly. I guess that means a signing in the $5 to $10 million range with another 20% going to the Chiba Lotte marines as a posting fee. Sasaki would then be like any player "called up" to the major league roster and have the 6-year Team control window with 3 years before the arbitration process can begin. I'm not sure what criteria Sasaki will use when choosing a team, but signing him will provide elite pitching at a minimum cost for 3 years and I think even the Twins can afford that. And if they are going to sell the team, Sasaki would provide great value as a salable asset. Will the Twins even pursue signing him?
