No Rosario? Get out of hereHornets wrote: ↑Sun Sep 30, 2018 8:07 pm Heading into next year the only guy I feel comfortable being in the starting lineup is Polanco. Not Sano, not Buxton, not Kepler, NO ONE ELSE. Good thing is we got a boat load of cash to spend and I think Falvey and Co will surprise us....
On a side note, I think Molitor is gone. Not happy about that, just a gut feeling.

HEre is my point.... why wait? Why delay? WHat is the point of having mediocrity at best.A Kickass Offense wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 10:21 pm Hope.
"Just wait until Lewis and Kriloff arrive!!"
Even on the off chance they they aren't busts once they get here, their best years will be spent playing for a shit ballclub before they are traded away for peanuts.
It's the same fucking nightmare year after year.
I agree but the Twins never do this. They don't want the clocks to start ticking on these guy's contracts.mlhouse wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 9:57 pmHEre is my point.... why wait? Why delay? WHat is the point of having mediocrity at best.A Kickass Offense wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 10:21 pm Hope.

Lewis, Kirilloff, Rooker, Wade, and Luis Arraez all need to be on the roster day 1 and playing. Our young manager needs to be developing these guys at the major league level. How much the team struggles year one will depend on how the other younger players around them play like Sano, Buxton, Cave, Polanco, Rosario and Kepler. But even if the team loses 100 games like the 1982 Twins, at least it is developing. I woudl rather watch them lose with Lewis and the rest of them playing than Taylor Motter and Bobby Wilson......
The other thing is they need to have Willians Astudillo on the roster. He just seems like a guy they can create a Bob Lurtsema type image for. Have him do the 9 position thing in a game as a promotion, etc.
Already had "Prince night" last season. I'm hoping for some sick Bangles or B-52's branded merch.
I think the Twins are the only organization in MLB that hopes their top prospects never amount to much because the "clock is ticking" then they will have to pay them. THis has cost the team as they will not develop players at teh major league level like they did in their previous rebuilds.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 3:47 amI agree but the Twins never do this.

They will play a bunch of turds while losing 90+ and tell us "The young guy's are not ready" meanwhile the turds they are playing have never been ready to play either.
They will tehn make sure to keep these guys in the minors so long thag they are guaranteed to be a bust by the time they come up.

Twins slashing prices on several traditional concession items at 2 Target Field stands

The Minnesota Twins are sharply cutting prices on some traditional concession items at two locations in Target Field, the team announced Wednesday.
The team said it is discounting prices on hot dogs, nachos, soft pretzels, peanuts, popcorn, soft drinks and specific beers in hopes of making the expense of coming to a game more affordable for families.
“The Twins are excited about partnering with Delaware North Sportservice to bring family-friendly concessions pricing to Target Field,” team president and CEO Dave St. Peter said in a statement announcing the reductions. “The affordability of the Target Field experience remains paramount to our efforts to attract kids and families to the ballpark.”
The lower-priced items will be at the stadium’s two “State Fair” stands: Section 133, in right-field lower level, and Section 327, in the left-field corner of the upper level.
Some of the discounted items do not have an exact apples to apples — or peanut to peanut — comparison for the same food and drink sold elsewhere in the stadium, and regular prices on some of these items have been nudged up a bit from 2018.
Here are the reduced price offerings, with this year’s prices elsewhere in the stadium for comparable items in parentheses:
• Schweigert regular-size hot dog: $4 ($5)
• Slightly smaller nachos: $4 ($7)
• 2 soft pretzel sticks, no cheese: $4 (Large soft pretzel, with cheese $7)
• Peanuts: $3 ($6)
• Popcorn: $3 ($6)
• 16-ounce Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew or Sierra Mist: $2 (24 ounces, $6.50)
• 12-ounce Budweiser or Bud Light: $5 (20 ounces, $9)
The concessions stands will also offer a more convenient self-checkout process, with fans being able to make their purchases using touch-screen kiosks.
Savvy consumers just go to Target before the game.

And they'll be traded because they got too expensive to keep. Because it's the Pohlads.A Kickass Offense wrote: ↑Mon Sep 10, 2018 10:21 pm Even on the off chance they they aren't busts once they get here, their best years will be spent playing for a shit ballclub before they are traded away for peanuts.
