I couldn't agree more old nurse. Arms are a crapshoot. How many times arm pitchers hurt after receiving large contracts. For what Johan has done since leaving the Twins would he have been worth the money even though we have nothing to show for the trade? I don't think so. Right now quantity and maybe finding a trade partner for a number 2 is all we can ask until the young guys are ready. No excuses for not spending money but the contract has to make sense.

Parmelee can hopefully produce at the new Morneau level 19-77-.267 and over 100k's. Much cheaper option for these numbers. Unfortunatelly concussions do cause long term problems and he will never be the MVP again. Throwing money all over the place is'nt the answer either. Do you really think T. Ryan is done? Good free agents? Your definition of one is who that would fit into team payroll? Last time I checked top free agents demad longer contracts, more money and want to go to wnning teams. We are rebuilding and need to be selective on contracts and pick up pieces to the puzzle as they come available. Just my opinion but T Ryan is on the right path.

Two young live arms are now part of the Twins. The M & M boys part 2. May and Meyers in 2015. Hicks in 2013 and Buxton on the fast track in 2014 along with Sano. T Ryan should keep looking for stop gap solutions at team friendly terms until the young guns arrive. Diamond, Pelfrey, Worley, Correia, Gibson and whomever else Ryan picks up along the way. When Morneau is gone then we have money to look for bigger and better arms for today. Keep the faith.

Last time I checked the Twins were a small market team. Edwin Jackson and Marcum are risks in their own right but would demand larger contracts than Pelfrey and Correia. Pelfrey has pitched around 200 innings 4 years in a row until he got hurt. Correia has something to prove after being banished to the pen. Worley will be a starter for years to come. He is a bulldoh and Gibson 's time is now. Just like throwing crap against the wall T Ryan will accumulate arms and some will stick. My guess. He isn't done.
