These are AWFUL.

It took you five minutes to decide to do the right thing?? Keep it.

I lost a ten spot recently, pretty sure it was at the Prospect Park Station on the Green Line. Anybody finds it, PM me at TwinsDaily.

Which fact did I ignore...last WS over 30 years ago, or last postseason win pre-Twins Daily and then some?

I explicitly cited history. More than 30 years of history since a WS appearance. The last postseason win, much less winning series, is a distant memory. History? Please.

The Pressly trade was a poor decision in foresight, not just hindsight. And in the long run, Alcala may yet produce, but Celestino isn't even worth mentioning. He provides no value, and in fact hurts the team by occupying a roster spot.

Dunno. Sooner with players as good as Correa than without. I do not subscribe to the theory of "wait until you have good players to sign good players." I don't believe the finances are beyond the Twins capabilities. I don't believe signing market rate contracts for good players prevents the Twins from acquiring or developing other good players. Developing good players is needed whether we sign free agents or not. Sitting around waiting for the stars to align and our farm system to win us a World Series isn't going to work, IMO. It certainly hasn't for decades. Hasn't even won us a single postseason game in a long long time. When I watched the postseason, what I saw was teams with superstars mixed in. Players much better than average. Get some. Find more. Don't let opportunities to get one go by easily.

I'm gonna need more than your word on this.

Not sure I agree with the logic here, Aggies. "Don't sign good players because we don't have enough good players."

My work here is done.

Quite the defender too. In fact, he got to the point he could properly position himself to intercept throws from the outfield without as much as a single day of practice. That's right...he made cold cuts.

Brock: we need a "groan" emoji. Also: it should be noted Hrbek hit a home run with the based loaded in that world series. That's right...wait for it...a GRAND SALAMI!

Precisely.

Do. Not. Like.

I'm totally on board with this. Come spring, I'll be able to say "I tried."

I can't even believe people want to change the role of the Twins only highly successful pitcher.

I don't know if the "Isola lobbing popups back to the pitcher thing" is disqualifying, but it's ANNOYING AS HELL!! Who was the catcher (white sox?) that used to triple clutch and then soft toss back to the pitcher every time? I CANT WATCH THAT! Anywho, Martin is fast and Julien looks very hitterish. The pitchers....we had to send SOMEbody, I guess.

We could have Herr AND Brunansky. And Pete Townshend. A "Tommy" revival.

Isola, Olsen, Julien.

Bently in action Thursday night.

they couldn't know both LCS would be done already, and Fri-Sat-Mon-Tue-Wed-Fri-Sat works on many levels. You have to schedule the WS ahead of time.

This offseason is the perfect example of why "wait till you are a player short to spend on a free agent" is folly. $60m to spend and exactly one top free agent pitcher worth pursuing, and even he's had a history of injury. There's nobody to spend it on. Sign talent whenever you can.

Prolly more like $70m. Correa $35, Sanchez $10, Rodon $25. I'd drop Sanchez and find a different option, but even with him $70m is completely within possibilities.

Settling for this type of player is exactly what also-rans do.

In what way would signing Correa prevent the Twins from developing those same players?
