    I'll live with it when someone enlightens me to which of the 3 pitchers from our 2017 class are going to be be good to great for us this year
  2. D.C Twins
    If this is our line up in 2023....we have failed to make a needed trade in the near term for "impact pitching".....
  3. D.C Twins
    Wait 'till next year!!!!!! You and other GM's are not smart enough to track their detailed and sneaky plans!
  4. D.C Twins
    Not sold on Price....but just to be clear, there is also RISK in inactivity as well...
  5. D.C Twins
    You are not wrong....but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....
  6. D.C Twins
    Let the SPIN BEGIN!!!!
  7. D.C Twins
    This....This...and.....what was I forgetting.....oh yeah.....THIS! The year to year bargain bin (Trademark Pending) is just simply not sustainable.....sorry
  8. D.C Twins
    Though this off season has slowly transitioned from sad and depressing to predictable and mildly comical.... so there's that!
  9. D.C Twins
    The Twins should desperately try not to find themselves in anything close to the same situation next off season. They have 2.5 starters now which will be 1.5 next off season after Odo leaves....so....
  10. D.C Twins
    ....if they were willing to part with their precious top prospects... which they are not...soooooooo.... next question.....
  11. D.C Twins
    My official, highly researched,advanced metrics based response..... Booooooooriiiiiiiiiing
  12. D.C Twins
    A lot more than the current FO or ownership is apparently willing to give up and....spoiler alert!.....what I'm willing to give up doesn't matter
  13. D.C Twins
    I think the desire is for Berrios to elevate to the level of going toe to toe with an opposing elite pitcher in game 1 of the playoffs. That would be huge

    ***sigh**** ****deep breath**** ****exhale**** ***slow shaking of head*** ****move to type an opinion***** *****realize it doesn't really matter at this point which one they choose**** ****sign off****
  15. D.C Twins
    I think both takes have merit. The concern is real. He struggled for an entire season in A ball and that swing MOST LIKELY will not provide sustained success in the MLB. But he IS young, extremely athletic even among other athletes and has a superior attitude and competitive drive, so the ability to adjust should be high. Overall, I don't think we have a future all star on our hands, but I cannot wait to be proven wrong
  16. D.C Twins
    Oh and Dantes929, the '91 Twins literally DID "go from worst to first by signing an aging pitcher coming off two mediocre years" They signed a 36 y/o Jack Morris in fact who had actually come off exactly two mediocre (or just bad) years with ERA+ OF 79 and 89. Kevin M took a chance because, you know, he wanted to actually win the WS and not get pantsed in the playoffs
  17. D.C Twins
    And again, for everyone keeping track at home, we had a shut down starting pitcher and reliever (or two if you count Senior Smoke in '87) when we won BOTH world series. We have neither (and no Rodgers is not there yet due to his lack of durability in back to backs) Yes these things matter if we have hope of a WS...
  18. D.C Twins
    Well....the 87 team had this ACE called Frank Viola and then they TRADED their ACE for a #2/3 in Kevin Tapani as well as a shut down closer in Rick Aguilera (sp?) and then SIGNED a replacement ACE called Jack Morris. So in summary they used creative ways to improve their pitching through TRADES and FREE AGENCY (I don't recall Minnesota having a bigger payroll OR being more of a destination location then) So thanks for reminding us all that big things CAN be accomplished with creativity and a little intestinal fortitude even in a small market team!
  19. D.C Twins
    Just wanted to make sure people read this again
  20. D.C Twins
    All good points. I happen to think that Chicago will be dangerous next year and even more so in the three years following making our 'window' smaller than is generally advertised. And they are shaping up to have legit starting pitching. In addition, I think Odo regresses a bit this year, Berrios has peaked out, and Pineda was indeed masking PEDs with diuretics and will suffer a bit for the lack of PEDs next year (remember that PEDs for pitchers are mainly to aid recovery so he might tail off toward the end of next year) I also think our lack of depth in EXPERIENCED SP will be exposed by more of an injury bug this year (overall we were pretty fortunate last year). These are all just opinions of course...but why I have us settling out in the 87-92 win range
  21. D.C Twins
    Outstanding Post! Thank you for making me laugh (and hard)
  22. D.C Twins
    Sure we could sign him....he may just bump us from a wildcard game loss to divisional series loss. We need lots more quality starting pitching. Our offense is pretty deep and could sustain a regular amount of seasonal injuries. Just imagine what happens if Odo or Berrios even gets dinged up a bit and misses even a month....YIKES
  23. D.C Twins
    Absolutely OK with this but it means that the FO will have to "overpay" with their coveted prospects (at least 2 of their top 5 in addition to others) to get an impact arm. As I've said before, the FO deserves ALOT of credit for thier drafting, player development and coaching choices. BUT, obtaining impact pitching from outside the organization requires either an "overpay" of money or or an "overpay" in prospects. This FO and ownership have yet to demonstrate the intestinal fortitude to do either. Risk will need to be taken unless our desire is to languish in mild to moderate competitiveness...
  24. D.C Twins
    Boy there is a lot of positive spin going on right now from TD writers for a team that is currently about the same as last year minus Gibson with all signs pointing toward ending up with one additional starting pitcher equal to Gibson or worse. Not only will this not fly in the playoffs, this team as constructed is more likely to win <90 games than >100 games. The past two years represented the the opposite ends of the spectrum of the expected win range entering the season. We are likely to find the middle ground of 87-92 wins this year as currently constructed with a wildcard game loss to a team that has a legit ACE.
  25. D.C Twins
    Well said...I agree with everything....and yet I look back at his picture and imagine him running the bases and I just can't stop smiling....so I really have no chance of a rational opinion
