Welker , 27 , was dealt for a fringe lefty-starter Kris Johnson , 29 Today. In doing, so the Twins get an emergency starter, if things get ugly... Man, seems like a lot of confidence in the bullpen to let Welker go for almost nothing.
As many of you know, 2014 Will be an add on type of year or build on year off of the success the Twins have had from 2011-2013.... But almost certainly the Twins will again NOT compete in 2014. The same could be said for 2015 as well, however i think that is the year, while in transition, the Twins can breakout and build a playoff team and atmosphere. Bring back the winning way again in the Twin Cities. This assuming Gardy is at the helm and the chemistry is very good in the clubhouse. Many ma

First things first, I want to say that I firmly believe these players, while mostly currently in the Minor Lgs. are A) Big League Ready and More than likely available for Trade within their respective organizations. & C) Should fit well within the Twins budget as many of these players have no to little Service Time. & D) Are young/ Prospects, green or raw because that Clearly is the best way to invest you're time energy and Money and NOT Free Agency as proven time and time again also sh
(4) Four games in, and not the start we all envisioned to be sure. (5) Five letters for us all to consider R-E-L-A-X I just hope the Twins, particularly the coaches and the players can just take a deeeeep breath relax, stay calm, not panick and just play baseball.

Next is the Texas Rangers, after stud southpaw Matt Harrison in game 1, Neftali Feliz and Yu Darvish go in
I really hold back what I would like to say about then payroll arguments here. The fact that people don't accept the amount taken in dictates the amount going out requires one of two things.
