You'd think progressive Rocco would maybe use a starting pitcher in a situation where they literally have no one else in the pen available?
-
You're telling me there is a chance the Twins, the Minnesota Twins, lose out on a FA due to their cheapness? Shocking news, folks.
-
I am sure the Yankees are quivering at the thought of facing Rich Hill in October....if the Twins even get there.
-
When the Twins signed Parker, all we heard (from the talking heads, on TV, etc.) was how effective and awesome Parker's splitter was...in fact, people went so far as to say his splitter would drastically improve once the weather got warmer and he was able to get a better feel for it. Your typical hyperbole, talking jargon that doesn't amount to much of any substance.
-
Sad thing, and truth, is that there will be people that try and swing these deals as being significant. Sad, really.
-
Already reading how great this splitter is and how it is revitalized his career. Just like Blake Parker for the Twins in 2019...
-
Exactly. Personally, I never bought into the whole idea that the Twins were all of a sudden going to change their philosophy and go out and get an impact arm(s). You don't set your expectations up for failure, and you don't feel terrible when underwhelm...again.
-
So, the Twins signed Bailey because he is a Yankee killer. I am on board!
-
Yeah, this is something I just cannot agree with or even come to comprehend as being a serious thought. It is just another built in excuse for the Twins continuing to fail to sign legitimate, organizational changing type players via FA.
-
I mean, based on what people are saying about Minnesota and how terrible it is to live and raise a family in. Give me a break - this is a culture thing. Teams can't take the Twins serious because of how they have handled free agency in the past. Oh, and if they aren't going to be players in FA because of it being something that the player has to also agree to, then you go out and make a damn trade to BRING a guy to Minnesota where he has no choice. You force the hand, and stop sitting on these "prospects" that, more often than not, are never going to pan out. These excuse based articles, and continued support of the Twins and their lack of involvement in free agency should piss off any Twins fan that is legit about their team competing for a World Series.
-
TBH, I am surprised ANY free agent chooses Minnesota, given how horrible it is to live in Minnesota.
-
Exactly. There is no way the Twins are supposedly "engaged" on all these guys, and don't land a single one. Their level of "engagement" must be quite different than other teams.
-
But Dobnak is better than we think! Just look at his minor league numbers, and incredibly SSS at the major league level.
-
Yeah, but wait to see how many people the Twins have "engaged" with or "reached out" to...can't wait!
-
One. One example of it working out. That is it.
-
The Twins already have enough fringe options to fill those roster spots. Why waste time going after external options?
-
I like Audra Martin. Can't wait to see these two guys turn into MLB All-Stars though!
-
Which says all that needs to be said about this front office, ownership, etc. If players don't see this place as desirable and a place to come to, where the heck do you think the issue starts?
-
Exactly - Martin Perez isn't going to help this team. None of the guys mentioned above will do so, either.
-
Exactly. How are any of these guys going to change the issues that face the Twins? The Twins don't need anymore 4th or 5th starters. I don't understand why that needs to be said again...and again, and again.
-
Again, that is not what I am arguing. It is all relative - if the rest of the FA crop is less than desirable, of course he will rank higher. Point being, again - Lance Lynn was never going to come in and change the dynamic of the Twins and their postseason chances/ability to win a World Series. If you cannot see this, well, then so be it. Guys like Cole, Strasburg, etc....THOSE guys move the needle. The Lance Lynn's of the world, they do not.

OK? It is all relative. In no way, shape, or form was Lance Lynn considered a "top FA" by all standards. He wasn't someone that was going to come in and change the Twins postseason fortunes, etc.
-
Sorry, but Lance Lynn was not considered a "top FA pitcher."

The type of Twins risk is re-signing a guy who may get caught taking PED's again. That is what the Twins consider as "taking a risk."
