Nick - Thanks for starting an out-of-the-box conversation. I would like to suggest using May as an Opener every 3rd day. Our pitcher with arguably the best stuff against the top of the other teams lineup. That would be fun to see. Use him for 2 innings, then 2 days off. Spend some money to sign a closer. If the new closer doesn't pan out, May can move back. I also like the Kepler thought. I'm surprised that Molitor didn't use him at 1st more. I hope they give Austidillo a fair shot. I'm rooting for the underdog. Who isn't?!? And let's let the young guys play. These aren't the same caliber of mid and late '90's guys we suffered through. Let 's roll with the kids and let the other teams deal with the Machado and Harper sized egos and paychecks.

Technically, yes, it is your money. If you go to games. If you buy Twins merchandise. If you visit their webpage or assist them in fulfilling any other revenue stream. Your just forking over some of your hard earned cash to the Pohlads and Falvey to put a baseball team on the field. I'm intrigued by what this off season will bring. Based on early 2017 I expected a fire sale of more than just Kinzler at the deadline. Dozier, Escobar, Castro, Grossman, Molitor, Belisle...had the Twins hit the expectation levels set in March, probably none would be here now. Again, had results not been as good in 2017, I would have expected trades for young pitching talent. (see Indians rotation) As this year shows (34?), you can't have enough pitchers. And we still don't have enough, so what do they do? I would sign a veteran stop gap or two, but trade some young talented position players for more young pitching.

And if opponents didn't know before, they now know! Did TD just make Jose's next start more difficult???

I would like to see Polanco play every day at either SS or 3B. If he isn't playing 3B than hopefully Sano is there. Keep the young guys in the lineup. They have shown they need the game reps fielding and made the correct throws. Might be tough on our young pitching staff but that's been tough all year as well.
