Twinkies are for eating

Starting pitching for our staff will still only average 4.5 innings per start.

The hall of fame used to mean something. At a minimum you had to get to 3,000 hits. I guess those days are long gone. But Mauer never got close. In fact he barely broke 2,000. He never drove in runs. As good a hitter as he was supposed to be, you would think at least his RBI’s would have been more impressive. I mean he hit in the top 3 spots in the order pretty much his whole career. For those of us that think he was overpaid we got fed up with the god like worshipping for all the years after his “bilateral leg weakness”. It was way over the top. Way worse than Madden slobbering over Favre. Great player pre injury, very average post. I don’t think he belongs in the Hall and it’s really not very close.

Looks good to me. Depending on when Royce is able to come back, we may not regret losing Correa. But as a fan, I’m going to be pissed we didn’t take any of that $285 mil and get a pitcher. So, Heyman, don’t tell me the Pohlads aren’t being cheap!
