Ramos for Capps?

Sure, the money was good, but would you equate that signing to a multi-year deal for a guy in his prime like Greinke or Sanchez that are being trotted out in this thread?

Jack was 36, coming off 2 losing seasons, with an ERA approaching 5 when the Twins signed him. It was very typical Twins free-agent signing, taking a flier on a guy on the decline with a 1 year deal,...

True, it's just my opinion. But it's based on years of observation.

Name me a top shelf free agent from outside the organization who signed with the Twins.

Then name me one who signed with...

Well, I am sure there are guys like him - frankly, he is a mercenary. On his 4th team in 4 years; if I am paying out big-bucks, I want a more solid citizen than Zack Greinke.

Yeah, I expect to see a lot of signings announced this week.

What about the man of mystery, Rich Harden? Will he pitch this year?

Trading Correia may be a great example of buy low sell high, but only if they get something good.

Pelfrey might be a...

It seems to me that the Twins haven't exactly been in the position to sign high-end free-agents, coming off a couple disastrous seasons.

I'll put on my Captain Obvious helmet here:

Free-agents...

Fun stuff.

I wouldn't trade Perkins, mainly for the same reasons people say is good trade bait: he's good, and has a nice contract.

I also disagree that a good closer is a luxury for a middling team - if...

Yaay - maybe the Twins will have another surplus: CF, now 3b. Keep her going Trevor.

Pretty good - there are teams that would be thrilled to have your HMs.

I am sooo glad that Molitor is part of the Twins organization. He has always been the consummate professional.

Very nice read - thank you Seth.

Ah, missed him; was looking at the top ten picks. Cool, another one to keep an eye on.

That is an odd coincidence on the roommates thing ... or is it???

ESPN ran this story - sound like it's all but signed sealed and delivered:

2013 MLB draft -- Kohl Stewart to sign with Minnesota Twins, passes up Texas A&M football - ESPN

Eades with LSU, and Slegers and DeMuth with Indiana.

Gives me somethng to root for anyways.

Great news all around.

This will be a good test for him.

So, did anybody watch him vs. Oklahoma yesterday? I saw one inning, and he looked okay, fastball sitting around 90, good breaking ball.

Then the rains came and I turned it off.

Bert Blyleven would not approve of this thread :whacky028:

I agree with the OP in that Pelfrey often has a hard time in the 6th inning and ruins what had been a very good start up to that point.
...

Man, 4 pitchers and a catcher. BPA and need seem to be converging here.

Gonsalves rated 98th by MLB.

I like having some pitching at all levels - hopefully this kid develops and we got ourselves a live one here.

Adding Bryant to the Twins' offensive stable could render pitching irrelevant. A few years from now, the Twins will just bludgeon their opponents into dust.

11-10 might be a common score.

As...

Mills seemed like a real safe pick at the time, son of a pitching coach. great college career, lefty, good size. Sometimes good picks don't pan out.
