  1. Who cares where he was born? He chose to move his first day he turned 18. He had as much choice about where he eas born as this chair I am sitting on has. As for you treatise, it is well written, but fruitless. Booing is emotional, not logical. So making a logical argumentakes no sense.
  2. Awesome defense of Ryan and rip of Smith...does anyone think anything changed in the farm system in the 3 years Smith was in charge? And, it isn't Ryan's last draft. Three years, now, three years, name the legit prospects that have come up to the Twins and helped in the last three years. As for Smith vs Ryan and what the difference of philosophy was, we don't really know what the disagreement was, from what I recall. It's all been conjecture.
  3. Better than this, if you refuse to trade for or sign expensive players....who has come up in the last THREE years, the you feel is a legit MLB player? Three years....Valencia? Plouffe? Revere? Hendriks? Not one legit player, contributing to winning now, in three years. No new OF. 1 new IF. No starting pitchers (do we think Hendriks is ready?). That's not livable, not if you rely on your farm system pretty much exclusively.
  4. If the attendance does drop, do you think they'll cut payroll again?
  5. The Wilf family would have bought Yu's services, and maybe Reyes also. There is no doubt in my mind that the Wilf family would spend $20-40MM more per year than the Pohlad's are, maybe even more. On the bad side of the coin, they'd be hiring and firing GMs and coaches too fast....so that's a tough call. The budget hasn't fluctated up and down based on attendance and tv revenue, it is down significantly this year from last. I'd bet anyone that wants that they don't outperform the budget this year.
