Don't Feed the Greed? What does that mean...

Kevin Correia: Throwing Good Money After Bad?

Hey all,   Here’s what I don’t understand: let’s call it “throwing good money after bad.” Blackburn’s $5.5 million contract is bad money. The Twins still had—had money in their purses after dropping about $26 million in 2012 contracts that went off the payrolls or were traded away (Pavano, Baker, Liriano, Span, Nishi, Casilla). Now, by signing Correia, that’s down to $21 million.   I expected to see a pitcher or two get Willingham money (3 years $21M), or Pavano money (3 years $23.5M) on a two y

All The Way May?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2866[/ATTACH]When the Minnesota Twins traded Ben Revere to the Phillies, they acquired one pitcher to help them in the present (Vance Worley) and one for the future (Trevor May).   In Worley, the Twins landed a somewhat seasoned middle-of-the-rotation starter who has above-average movement. But Worley had recent elbow issues, necessitating the addition of the Phillies’ top prospect, May.   May’s pedigree is strong. His velocity ranges up to 95 complimented with a decent curve and

Morneau to Texas?

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned. It has been 3 months and 17 days since my last post. I attribute this to 1) being busy 2) the state of the Twins having me down in the dumps and 3) laziness. However, recent trades have me excited again and wondering who's next to be moved.   I've been hearing a lot about a connection between the Orioles and Morneau but I'm wondering if he could possibly start drawing interest from Texas. Texas has been chasing Zach Greinke, Josh Hamilton and a trade for J

On Paradigms and Kevin Correia

The easy reaction to the news that the Twins and Kevin Correia have agreed to a 2-year/$10 million deal is to overreact. I still plan to. But before I go down that path, I want to remind myself about paradigms.   A paradigm is the story around the story that impacts our perceptions. The classic example (I think from Stephen Covey) is that while riding the subway, he saw the father of several small children watching them passively as they misbehaved quite badly on the subway.

Twins to sign RHP Kevin Correia

According to sources, the Twins have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Kevin Correia. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick is saying that the deal is a two-year deal and $10 million. The 32-year-old right-hander has gone 12-11 the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates. His ERA in 2011 was 4.79, and it was 4.21 in 2012.   He was originally a 4th round pick by the San Francisco Giants. He has spent time with the Giants, Padres and Pirates. In 10 big league seasons, he is a combined 60-65 with a 4
What to do with Morneau?

With Greinke gone, time to get a pitcher?

Now that Zack Greinke has signed a $147 million deal with the LA Dodgers, does the log jam begin to unravel?   http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/12/dodgers-to-sign-zack-greinke.html   Maybe I’m way off, but are Sanchez, Jackson and Lohse the next dominoes to fall? If they are, does that take teams that seem to be in on all the talks with FA starters off the market? I keep reading LA Angles, Red Sox and Royals (obviously there are others), if they spend their Monopoly Money and leave the arena,

What would it take?

You are Terry Ryan. You know trading Joe Mauer is a terrible idea... But you just traded both of your awesome center fielders.   The Red Sox keep asking you about it. You told them you would take the sun, moon, and stars in return. The Red Sox just signed Mike Napoli.   So the question is what would it take? And from which team?   I would hate to do it... but if they took on all of that contract, we got back an MLB starter, a near MLB ready shortstop, an MLB catcher, and a hot pitching pros

Twins active but lots of work remains to be done

Originally published on www.twinstrivia.com .   With the recent trades of former first round pick (2002) outfielder Denard Span to the Washington Nationals for 2011 Nats first round pick RHP Alex Meyer and just a few days later sending another former Twins first round pick (2007) outfielder Ben Revere to the Phillies for RHP's Vance Worley and Trevor May the Twins and GM Terry Ryan have held true to their word that changes were coming and that they were going to snag as many pitchers as they cou
