    Absolutely gut wrenching, but needed if there is a desire to maximize a 'window' of success. We have to give to get. Good deals still sting. But, I believe that, for better or worse (for me, worse), the FO desires long term above-average-ness than ever sacrificing long term assets for the opportunity to be elite in the short term. And I think that the FO specializes in drafting and development which will provide long term above-average-ness, but I do not believe elite status can be achieved without occasional high impact trades or FA signings. At the end of the day, I know that I references our 87 and 91 WS wins a whole lot more than our "sustained above-averageness in in the 2000s"

    Nice Work!
  3. D.C Twins
    Woof....but hey, this is what it has come to....
  4. D.C Twins
    A week or two ago I posted and estimate of 87-92 wins so I obviously think this is spot on Seriously though, our starting pitching was VERY healthy last year which is likely not repeatable. I think ODO, Cruz, Pineda, and Garver with have some regression.Berrios, i think has peaked but will maintain for many years.
  5. D.C Twins
    The answer to this really depends on the FO opinion about the potential for his change up....if they are confident in the development, they should probably keep him in AAA to begin the season because he should not try to develop a pitch while in the MLB. If they think his change up is unlikely to develop, keep him in the MLB in the bullpen out of the gates. (he can still work on the change up in bullpen sessions with MLB coach oversight and transition to starter when and if it does.

    This just deserves to be read again by everyone.....We actually were FORTUNATE overall with our lack of injuries in our rotation. We will likely need MORE depth in place for success this year....
  7. D.C Twins
    Yikes, in none of the multiverses is it a good idea to go into a season with THREE rotation slots occupied by "they just might make a difference" people. If we were serious, ALL FIVE slots would be filled with a reliable veteran and those "just might be" guys would be competing at AAA to be the replacement for the inevitable injury. There is just no way to spin this problem away, sorry I wish there was. And to get an "impact arm" they realistically need to be willing to give up 2 of their top 5 prospects. Yes it hurts but that will be the price of business. And, spoiler alert, the FO does not have the intestinal fortitude to give those types of prospects away....so.... ALL ABOARD!!! The 2020 AAAA Choo Choo train is leaving the station.... (don't worry if you miss this one.....it will be making regular round trips throughout the season!)
  8. D.C Twins
    I will offer a "buzz phase" that should ignite the FO.... "the great season ticket holder exodus of 2021"
  9. D.C Twins
    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
  10. 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".....
  11. D.C Twins
    Wait 'till next year!!!!!! You and other GM's are not smart enough to track their detailed and sneaky plans!
  12. D.C Twins
    Not sold on Price....but just to be clear, there is also RISK in inactivity as well...
  13. D.C Twins
    Though I have graduated to acceptance....so i will enjoy a hardy laugh at all the SPIN coming for this off season...unfortunately to include from some of the primary columnists from this site.
  14. D.C Twins
    Will sign with the Washington Nationals, but maybe we'll get to hear one last "we were sooooo close" 'leaks' in the local media before it happens. ...and honestly I'm not sure the signing would matter anyway without more reliable pitching
  15. D.C Twins
    Just wanted people to read this again because THIS is the option we have chosen through poor forward planing followed by inaction both in free agency and the trade market... Indecision....is in fact a decision....the FO will be painfully learning this lesson over the next two years I perdict.
  16. D.C Twins
    You are not wrong....but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....
  17. D.C Twins
    Let the SPIN BEGIN!!!!
  18. D.C Twins
    Just remember to listen to exactly ZERO of what anyone tries to sell you at the trade deadline this season or next off season. 'Cause you know Toronto is such a destination location that we could have never competed....er...I mean the last two years of that contract will be hard to ...... er....... what's that sound?! Choooo Chooooo.....here comes the AAAA starting pitcher express.....yeeeee haaaaah!
  19. 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
  20. D.C Twins
    Though this off season has slowly transitioned from sad and depressing to predictable and mildly comical.... so there's that!
  21. 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....
  22. D.C Twins
    ....if they were willing to part with their precious top prospects... which they are not...soooooooo.... next question.....
  23. D.C Twins
    My official, highly researched,advanced metrics based response..... Booooooooriiiiiiiiiing
  24. 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
  25. D.C Twins
    Yep, I've been saying his for a while. They are currently set up for progression while we are currently set up for regression
