    Sometimes it's just the order of the way things play out that can cause a certain reaction. Rodney, Duke then Reid if it had been reversed would have eased some of the pain of the now quiet bullpen complaining. Same here. If they do sign someone like Lynn then as this will quiet down. If that happened first then Sanchez the Sanchez signing would have just produced yawns. All that said i think the remaining FA pitchers are not worth four year deals. I'm especially leery of middle of the road national league starters.

    Not to mention, that ROY will be harder to achieve than Bryant's, since some on this board appear to have Gonsalves and Romero penciled in for 150+ innings of sub-4.00 FIP ball. Ah the sweet optimism of spring! The Twins have 3 ROY candidates!

    Nice article now I think I better understand what i was looking at when Mejia was pitching. It was frustrating to see him get hitters in his count then not put them away. I see now his ceiling is lower than I thought maybe a four unless he can somehow learn to spin it more.

    Here ya go. I could see signing Darvish for 4 years but that's it and that's not going to happen. The comment where there was a complaint that if we don't compete for top FA in a year when the big spenders are idle we never will misses it for me. Look at the Hughes extension, how's that working out? I would think four years is always dangerous and always the absolute max on pitcher contracts for me. We really could be seeing a change though. Some baseball contracts are absolutely ridiculous with the pitcher deals being the worst. If things do start moving in the other direction, it could maybe be called collusion but never the less it would be good for baseball. Alright alright if the 5 for 125 ish thing is available I would sign Darvish!

    There is a ton of money coming of the very dusty books. Even if two of the young guys are going to be legit they won't be right away. Look at the development of Berrios. It will take time to be a pitcher capable of winning in the playoffs. If a good deal is available there is no better time then now. That being said if Darvish is really going to get as many years as speculated even a non-banker might balk at that deal

    The new bullpen should help. We do need to sign one quality starter if we're serious. The lineup has to continue it's improvement and be a strength including a break out by Kepler. Could be fun

    Oops forgot the emoticon I guess. Spycake I'm with ya on this. See rite there you accounted for 35 minutes. I think we would all take that and then some. Maybe some concession on the ads to shorten the frequency or duration

    Settle down Francis. I wonder what those pitch times are? I did look it up recently and apparently in the 1920's the average game was about two hours then sometime around the 80's or 90's it had crept past three hours. That to me is ridiculous. It is the same game so what happened? I sure most of it is ads. American tv has a horrible, unwatchable amount of ads. Probably not going to change that much although the NFL got rid of the tv break after kickoffs. That aside if you don't want a clock even a hidden one I would start with of you undo the Velcro strap on your glove at the plate that glove is then confiscated and you must play the rest of the game with one glove. I don't wanna be startin somethin, just sayin

    I hope your right I don't want a repeat of Haley. Hanging around only to be released in July

    It would be interesting to see how many favor an automated pitch calling system. Baseball is an old game with many traditions and an atmosphere all is own. Not so sure I want to lose the quirks; "ump's calling it close today" or the arguments at home plate, the sideways glances etc.

    I'm in this corner. I like a deal and this is full on retail. That earlier comment about poaching on the end of Grenke's deal sounds like a deal

    Maybe playing in 164 games in 2017 wore him out and slowed him down a bit

    I think Joe is recovered from his brain injury and we can expect another year like last year. I see him resigning here for a couple of years. Yes a gold glove would get him in the hall, but his at bats must be limited for him to maintain this resurgence. Therefore i don't see him getting that gold glove.

    I'd like them to go thick n thin with Max this year let him follow Rosie's lead
  15. wabene
    If the team wasn't asking for option years they weren't doing their job.
  16. wabene
    I would say it was quite the opposite. If Dozier had bet on himself he wouldn't have signed the safe deal and made more money. He was underpaid because he gave up some risk.
  17. wabene
    Chargois is the wild card. He didn't have TJ right? With that there would be a timetable. His problems are more unknown and could eventually lead to TJ. That is the scary part. He seemed to have real potential.

    With Busenitz, Moya and Hildenberger I think we're on to something. Of the three only Busenitz is the conventional big armed bullpen guy but, hey, I like the variety. Could serve us well. Curtis has a chance too.

    This is on point. Napoli may be done. We would need an above average right handed bat to supersede what we already have.
  20. wabene
    Napoli drunk and shirtless roaming downtown Minneapolis? I'd follow that leader!

    One of the things I like about this team is they have fun. Eddie is a big part of that and he can play. Hang on to him losing him would be subtraction by subtraction (reverse sports cliche)
  22. wabene
    Yes as with any free agent acquisition. Hughes with three times the money tied up.

    The problem with playing in a state with lower taxes is you have to live there most of the year.
  24. wabene
    I'm on board with this. One side winder is enough. Especially when you have to follow with a cap askew
  25. wabene
    Here we go again. Why do these guys have to be so creative? I wanna go back to the previous regime. I miss the crickets dammit
