    Ding! (Your 2014 first round draft choice is ready)

    Dear Twins Front Office, I know that you want to come off super smart with your fancy stats and all, but I promise that I can give up less than a run per inning without the headache of picking up the New York Yankee's cast offs. Oh, and I've seen Romero pitch, and yeah, I actually thought I should be far more worried about HIM blocking my path to the majors, even without the benefit of fancy stats. Yours Truly, Aaron Slegers (TD NOTE - This was not actually written by Aaron Slegers!)

    Is it just me, or does Das Kepler have sick bat speed through the zone.....
  4. D.C Twins
    Initial answer: Nope Answer after wonderful article: Still Nope Not a selection of the current FO....will have short leash.

    Good to hear that the control looks better. Good MLB hitters lay off his offerings that spill out of the zone unlike what he got away with tearing up the minors. This results in high pitch counts if not high run counts and taxes the bullpen over the year. We still need to see an extended period of control with low pitch counts before I can be officially excited. Boy to I hope though!

    If and when Romero reaches his 1A potential we are officially a WS contender. The current rotation is sufficient to make the playoffs over a 162 game season, but for playoff results and overall team swagger, we NEED that 1A (please be a 1A....please be a 1A....PLEASE be a 1A)

    Love the roster flexibility that comes with Granite over a long season and hate the inflexibility of Grossman and Vargas. Especially when the bench numbers are limited. And with the addition of Logan, I think HR potential off the bench is slightly less needed.

    Price is definitely coming down... as his agent is pulling out both the classic desperate leaks... "Got a offer from another team!" "Going to make a decision by the end of the week!" With a new splash of "Are we sure there is no collusion going on?" Translation to all of the above: "Holy @#$%, this is NOT the market we anticipated" Now that the price has come down, don't get too cute Twins....there will not be another opportunity when the Big Boys wake up for next years FA ready to EAT.

    The most humor possible! At the end of the day, none of us really know what the best baseball decisions are, but we all like to laugh. The Simpson's thread on this site was one of the funniest threads I've ever followed and showed the fun intellect of the site followwers. RiverBrian has fantastic posts....More like that please

    Dear FO, Um....this isn't my ONLY X-mas present....is it?!
  11. D.C Twins
    The missing piece is starting pitching.....still.
  12. D.C Twins
    No, No he is not.
  13. D.C Twins
    No good answer...Best case senario they outsmarted themselves...If they really wanted him (and were ONLY ones who knew he'd be good , they could have likely had him for much less than Burdi and/or Bard. I've generally been a fan of the FO but they tried way too hard here to be the smartest kid in the room.
  14. D.C Twins
    Certainly a risk. I think our current group can hold the fort down until the cavalry is needed and will fall more in the 'average' than 'bad' category....but "thinking" is not "knowing", so feel free to bank this quote in the event of any future implosions

    The Twins strategy for relief pitchers has been reasonable. Every year there are relief pitchers that excel on bad teams. We can then trade for said relief pitchers that we KNOW are pitching well this year. Yes you can lose some prospects, but you have a much more reliable return on investment in the often volatile world of relief pitching. (didn't know which thread to post this on, so did it on both

    Me thinks that the new-ish FO ultimately gets one of Darvish/Cole/Archer/Odorizzi/Cobb. I also don't think they'll wear blinders when making a decision. They'll figure out what provides best 'market value' and go with it. These guys are flexible thinkers and that excites (usually skeptical) me.
  18. D.C Twins
    Not surprising....still hurts
  19. D.C Twins
    No, no he will not
  20. D.C Twins
    Are we sure that the Twin’s line up today is any better than the Red Wing’s line up…. I’m serious…
  21. D.C Twins
    It is OK to build toward 2019 and beyond.... The build is just as fun as the payoff.....1982-1987 was a fun and intersting to watch the nucleus mature and then have pieces added at the right time (with a little luck mixed in which all WS teams need at some point) .
  22. D.C Twins
    VERY impressed by the front office this last 2 weeks. Truly maximized return. This team has a super exciting future but the were never, never, never, never, never......deep breath.....never a playoff team this year (and most likely next year).... BUT I believe this FO is building toward sustained success cerca 2019-1-2023.....good on them
  23. D.C Twins
    Trade Grossman for whatever is available....keep Granite as a 4th outfielder with MUCH more versitility. If nothing is available for Grossman...it tells you that we are overvaluing his one talent and DFA-Away!
  24. D.C Twins
    For those in the know….are Littell and Enns better than Ynoa? If so, how much? Seems like a good overall sequence of transactions.
  25. D.C Twins
    Sell has always been the right answer (even if we sweep Oakland this weekend). This team will NOT progress deep into the playoffs under any circumstances. I lament that we did not trade Santana 2-4 weeks ago when he was truly at peak value if a good offer was on the table. And I am very happy about this season and the progress being made. But the window opens in 2019….Santana will not be part of that.
