They made all you whiners look pretty stupid. Not only did the spend all of Mauer's money they spent more. They covered their ass everywhere we have a young guy who's a maybe. Now maybe now we actually get out of the gate strong. Looking at you Buxton.

[salamander]

Good move Twins. I like the signing.

Heard a rumor that the Twins may attempt to trade Rosario for pitching because they don’t think they will be able to extend him at their price.

With the way the farm system seems to be developing, it’s only a matter of time before an OF is dealt.

Rosario might be the odd man out.

Wrong. This is the problem we have. They moved from bottom of the league in spending and are now #20 in spending and people are patting them on the back like they're big spenders. They're such cheap ass owners that being #20 in spending is being paraded by people like you as if they're spending big.

BE A TOP 10 SPENDING TEAM SOMETIMES (NOT ALL THE TIME). The Pohlads have largely failed this offseason. All they've done get back to zero because they've been such terrible owners. Now they and the Pohlad Pocket Protectors are acting like they are actually spending money when in truth, that's a laughable statement on it's face.

This surprises no one. People think the Pohlads went on some kind of spending spree this offseason so naturally the Pohlads are looking to dump money somewhere else so they can get back down into the bottom 3rd of the league in spending. This is how the Pohlads, who are among the worst owners in all of sports, operate.

Liars, promise breakers and cheap ass owners.

The problem is you can't see the truth through the tears.

We'll trade our best player.................why?

I can see the truth through my tears. The tears fall because I know this team has such terrible ownership and will only compete every few decades due to the terrible ownership. I'm glad I at least got to be alive for two world series because I doubt I'll ever see another one with the way this team is run by ownership.

Same reason we dumped Hunter. Same reason we dumped Santana, same reason we dumped Cuddy....

The list goes on.

This team will do absolutely nothing this year unless Roco is a miracle worker.

This is a .500 club

Better than usual though.

Covered their ass everywhere? The starting rotation will be bottom tier again.

Cuddy used us as leverage to get more money from Colorado, he never was going to re-sign here. Torii and Santana were still in the Dome era with Carl in charge. I'd like to think if we get players of that quality about to leave, that we give them fair contracts to stay.

[Qman65]

An overpriced Nic Punto?

[Small Hands]

An overpriced Nic Punto?

Not even close to the same player. Could Punto play left field or 1B? And play them well? Gonzalez is a pretty good player. He's got more power then Punto as well.

[Car Ramrod]

An overpriced Nic Punto?

They are the same except Marwin is bigger, plays more positions, and is a way better hitter.

I'm going to disagree with both of you.

This team has made my ideal moves offensively. At the same time, they still have cash to spend and haven't addressed ptiching.

At the same time, this team was basically .500 last year with like 7 of their core guys having worst case scenario seasons.

It would not shock me if they win 90 games this year1.

You aren't disagreeing with me. I have said since the offseason began that we would not spend greatly above Mauer's money because we are the Twins. But if we spend it smart and fill a couple holes we have every chance to be a playoff team because we have a ton of youth that should be taking a next step.

I'm sorry, this one just fly over my head. I don't know what you're getting at.

I have not seen any proof of this. If you're right, I would ecstatic. I just don't think you are because ----> Pohlads.

They did re-sign Mauer because they had to. And let's not kid ourselves about Rosario. He still has an incredibly free swinging approach at the plate that happened to work out last year. I'm not convinced that he's a superstar that you have to lock up.

[full force five]

I feel bad for the guy comparing Marwin to Punto. Marwin has a 800 fewer AB's with 57 more HR's. Marwin had 23 home-runs in 2017, most Punto had was 7. lol. Other hitting stats are much better as well.

Plus Marwin had one of the most clutch moments that a player can have for his team by going deep in a World Series game to force extra innings and they ended up winning that game.

That's pretty true. It's hard to say right now but that's true of any young talent.

I'd say Lewis and Kiriloff will be the next wave, but you never know considering how can't miss guys like Sano and Buxton were and now they both are question marks.

Honestly, Buxton and Sano hurt pretty bad. The last time I was that excited about the Twins future was decades ago. That we put every hope on those two with no backup plan and zero veteran leadership irritates me to no end.

I hope they can turn it around. I also really like Lewis but he's way out. I don't want to be waiting years until these kids get up here. I want to be in the playoffs when they're rookies with them bolstering our roster. I don't have faith the Pohlads even have the ability to think that way.

Everyone gave up on Tori. Everyone gave up on Cuddy. Everyone gave up on on Dozier. Everyone gave up on Hicks. Ortiz. All became damn fine ball players. Some guys just take longer. And with our collection of old school no smile managers making big hitters take 2 strikes and go the other way you can see why. That shit's over.

I hope.

I never gave up on any of those players except for Hicks (And how was I to know that he'd actually start, you know, trying). In fact, I got into an hour long debate with my college roommates saying that we made a mistake by getting rid of Ortiz.

And I'm not giving up on these two either. But they are both going to have to correct some serious flaws.

No one can be blamed for giving up on Hicks.
