  1. Important comment was how Pagan demoralized his team. When Twins re-signed him that may have signaled Correa the Twins were not serious about winning!!
  2. Obvious new CEO Joe Pohlad was given one directive as he was given the reins. Don't overspend and keep payroll under last year's. Make a profit under circumstance! So far A+!
  3. Glen is a 100% Twins Apologist. So please no questions about why the Twins had such an abysmal off-season in trying to improve the club. He will spew only the Twins line that 'Everything is fine" and "They tried the best they could"!!
  4. With the new Banker in charge they will probably move Polanco back to short and put Arrez at 2nd and call it a Profitable Day!;
  5. STOP with the Rodon talk. It is too much money and the Twins will "Try" but not sign him. We know the ending
  6. "It was somewhat understandable? That's funny! Every Twin fan with an ounce of sense knew it was going to happen exactly the way it did! The number would go high and the Twins would say "We tried"! But the sad part is even tho everyone could see what was happening the FO stood by hoping for a miracle on Correa while all the pitching they so sorely needed was scooped up. Now they are a worse team than last year. The Whiz Kids got played and failed;!
  7. People keep forgetting the change in the shift rule. That is going to give Kepler 30 points on his average!!
  8. Bottom line is why spend $300 Mil on a SS if the other team is hitting the ball over the fence? Twins have already shown their cards. By not getting any pitching they are content to be profitable and be a .500 Club!!
  9. Some people just must not have been watching games. Jeffers will NOT be an All-star. The league figured him out. He cannot hit a breaking ball. He is destined to be another Sano. An automatic out!!
  10. Why get a very good SS at $300 million when the other team is hitting the ball over the fence?? FO is sitting at a D- for this off season grade! But - They will be profitable so that is always the key for the Pohlads!
  11. Wish writers would stop using the word Ace when writing about Sonny Gray. Just because he is the best the Twins have does NOT make him an Ace.
  12. We can only hope the shift change is Kepler's hope for a resurgence. And I wish writers would stop saying trade him to save money for a top pitcher. In case you haven't noticed almost ALL the top pitchers are gone and the Twins were never mentioned in any of the signings. Who cares about Correa if you have no pitching! It is clear. The new Pohlad is the same as the old Pohlad. Profit first and no focus on WINNING! They are content with a .500 profitable club,!
  13. A: I think you greatly under estimate the shift ban will have on Kepler. Could be 30 points. B. I think you way over estimate Lanach's value. His outfield range and his arm is not major league level. Plus at the plate the league has figured out he can't hit a breaking ball!! He could turn out as bad as Sano!!
  14. All you need to know is his last name is Pohlad! He has been trained from a young age that Profit is the key to life. And that's fine for any business. But it collides with the word WINNING in baseball. So don't expect any big changes. Even if they sign Correa and shout "Look what we did" it won't matter if they refuse to spend on pitching!! Look for another .500 season.
  15. The new CEO Joe Pohlad is too busy designing new uniforms to bother with actually improving the team! He is cut out of the Pohlad mold of focusing on Profit and not Winning so don't expect any big moves. Get set for another .500 season!! More pitchers were signed today but not by the Twins. Plus Houston, the World Champs, spend more to get Abreu!! We keep getting further behind!
  16. Abreu would be a nice addition. But without pitching what does it matter? As the pitching options are already dwindling day by day and the Twins sit on their hands it looks like another .500 season is ahead!
  17. Twins are going from having one of the best left sides in baseball to having an average left side. Miranda covers 2 feet to the left and 2 feet to the right with an average arm. Plus the league figured out he struggles with sliders like Sano. Farmer is average at short. And with no signs of an upgrade in pitching the new left side will be even more of a liability allowing more balls through.
  18. Urshela trade will prove to be huge mistake. You had a solid player who just kept his mouth shut and played well both offensively and defensively. Word is the Twins save 3-4 million to throw him out the door. Jim Pohlad held the door with a big smile. On Miranda, did the Front Office watch any games? Miranda can cover 2 feet to the left and 2 feet to the right!! We had one of the best left sides in baseball. Now we are back to "Hoping" again. Save money and Hope is the Twins Motto. And what that does is assure another .500 season!! Yippee!

    Lets go big!!

    What you and most others are forgetting is the rule change banning the Shift. That could add 30-40 pts to Keplers average! And stop counting Larnach as a lock. He is very limited in the outfield and it appears the league has figured him out at the plate. Can't hit any type of breaking ball. Could be the next Sano!!
  20. Trading Urshela to put Miranda at 3rd is a bonehead move. Urshela was solid at 3rd. In the field and hitting!! Miranda has a two foot range to either side with an average arm. But alas, we saved 3 million which is always the Pohlad goal! Not winning!!
  21. Horrible move!! Urshela was a Pro's Pro!! Gave Twins one of best left sides in baseball! And we let him go to save 3 million? And to put Miranda at 3rd? Come on. His range is 2 feet to either side with an average arm. The Pohlads have put the pocketbook first again over winning!!
  22. Take a flyer in Bellinger. Not sure Buxton will ever be an every day player again.
  23. Same old thing! All the quality Pitchers are signing and Twins are nowhere in sight!! Another .500 year ahead. But they will be Profitable!!
  24. STOP with the "Projects" and Tommy John Rehabs. Pay for some quality arms!!!
