I see a lot of fantasy FA (esp. pitcher) signings, not just here but other comment broads. I know that it's a FO excuse too, but it takes two to tangle. Minnesota is not a place were FA have on the top of there list, at least the front line FA. Any no way would Ryan sign any pitcher for 15$ a year, esp how Lincecum has pitch last 2 years. Johnson at 7$ is maybe reasonable, but it better be incentive based. Siezmore I don't see coming here, esp with our outfield depth in the minors. I think they give Hicks another shot or even Mastro starting. Depends on ST again (a sad repeat of last year)

Looks like another team that will scrape the bottom of the AVG w/ RISP, and a starting staff that will be in the bottom third of ERA in the AL.

And that would be with signing two SP's. Makes me sad.

Gibson and Hicks are locks.

Missed Gibson, but do not think he is a lock. Only one starting pitcher from FA would be a repeat of this year, only worse with less hitting.

My plan for the 2014 Twins is to be drunk until Sano, Rosario, and Buxton arrive. I'll let you judge which is the better plan.

Josh Johnson I can see coming here. I personally would like to see them give Hughes a contract similar to Corrira's and maybe add some incentives because he is younger than almost any of the FA pitchers and he's a fly ball pitcher which would be a good fit at TF. They need to do something with the atrocious hitting. I've followed baseball my whole life and cannot remember so many hitters batting not even below .250 but in the .210-.230's.

Almost the entire team has those batting averages. They make the Gagne's, Lombo's, Pags, etc look like all stars. Absolutely horrible. Imagine if they could hit .250 where'd this team be. Also, I don't understand the ripping on Corrira. He's been our best pitcher this season especially the last couple outings. If any of us on TD would've said ERA 4.50 +/- in the AL coming from NL when the signing occurred, we all would've been estatic.

Lots of candidates for the starting rotation. I think Gibson and Worley are good candidates for bounceback seasons. I would like to see the Twins sign Johnson and maybe Vargas. I think they should replace Morneau with Morales (more of a DH, but I like Mauer playing a lot of first) and Morales has negligible platoon splits. Casey Fien and Roenicke should probably be gone (hopefully the Twins could get something for Casey), Hicks needs to win back center field (I think he will) and Parmelee will need to re-establish himself as a big leaguer, probably starting as a bench player.

I've been wondering about trading away Doumit, but I might like your plan better: keep him now since he value is iffy and roll the dice on him as a midyear acquisition. I guess I'd want to see how things shake out. If he's going to be spending a lot of time at DH, I'm not going to be happy.

I can't go with Sizemore, but I wouldn't be totally opposed to them signing someone to play cf for a year. But I think I'd also be satisfied with Clete/Mastro holding the spot until either Hicks or Buxton takes it away.

If the Twins can't/won't overpay and improve their team via FA or trades, the FO needs to seriously consider trading Mauer and eat some of his contract for a few really good prospects.

It makes me sad to watch the Twins waste such an amazing talent like Mauer.
