I think it is time to put Terry Ryan out to pasture. The game has passed him by long ago!

After seeing some of the other trades for prospects this offseason you could argue he acted WAY too soon...

Terry Ryan just doesnt get it! I cant wait for the presser when TR says he signed a nice guy and a winner!

Time for a major change at the top. Terry's solid trades will never be enough to offset...

The Twins actually won something back when their leader was an absolute SCUM of a human being. We would all take 25 losers like Kirby Puckett with HOF talent over Gardy's collection of yes-men.
...

If you throw in Sano and Rosario with Span you might be able to get Andrus. Otherwise, the best you will get for Span is a single A pitcher with upside. Too many good CF on the market and Span...

Not to rain on your parade but Diamond may have made it as a #5 on a good team if he even got a chance due to his pedigre and Revere would've played as a nice #4 OF on a contender. The rest don't...

Huh? The Twins have zero, ZERO, pitching prospects in their system other than Berrios. Their top 2 prospects are a free agent purchase (Sano) and last year's #2 pick. They have drafted and...

Great news! This org is in desparate need of new blood and a new way of thinking. What TR and Rantz have been doing the last 10 years has been a disaster.

Please go outside the org instead of...

We need to keep in mind that this was the worst team in the AL for the 2nd year in a row. That is a huge mountain to climb.

Secondly, this was the worst team in the AL in 2012 despite career...

A fair analysis. I'm not defending the Twins' drafts in saying they were good. I'd even concede that they weren't even mediocre. My only problem stems from the word "horrific". "Horrific" drafts...

+1.[/QUOTE]

Yep. People who complain incessantly about "horrific" drafts haven't looked at many drafts. The Twins were mediocre, maybe even a smidge of the "bad" side of things. They drafted...

The Twins should take best player available no matter what whether it be a SP, C, SS, or another speedy OF. The team is 3-5 years at least from competing so there is no need to reach for anyone. ...

Frankly, I think you're on the money here. I'd agree that Terry Ryan's head shouldn't be called for, but this seems like a move that re-instates a status quo when maybe new ideas should probably be...

Great! Nothing better than having a GM and scouting staff that cant draft or develop. This will not end well!

Why wasnt he fired? He failed to cash in any vets for prospects this system...

This is patently untrue. Stop saying it.[/QUOTE]

During the Smith years TR did provide all player eval imput to BS as BS has no player eval skillsn. BS is to blame for the bad contracts but Ryan...

Sure glad Terry Ryan gave up a sandwich pick for this guy last offseason. Glad he put no thought into building his terrible minor league pitching staff. Ryan must be fired before the Twins waste...

The Sawks will trade for Mauer if the Twins pick up 50 mil of hi salary. Your justification is that they will do a insane Hershal Walker deal because they have resources. Shoot your trade proposal...

I want what this guy is smoking if he thinks any team would take Mauers contract AND give up a prospect!!!

You dont understand waivers. If anyone thought it was a fair contract they would claim and hope the Twins outright release him for free. No one wanted to chance that thus Mauer has zero trade...

Mauer has no trade value as evidenced by zero waiver claims. A singles hitting DH owed 100 mil will net you at best a Vernon Wells contract in return. Sadly, Blacky is just as likely as Mauer to...

TR missed the boat and now Span's trade value is nil.

With younger, cheaper, better defenders such as Bourjos, Parra and GoGo availble this offseason via trade why give up anything for Span. ...

Love the show!

I respectfully disagree. The med staff was so bad that TR singled them out as a major area that needed improvement when he took the job. Since then, Baker, Pavano, and several minor leaguers have...

TR needs to have the balls to let him go. This is the easiest way to get the team in contention soon and may be the last time anyone is dumb enough to claim this albatross contact. Doumit/Butera at...

A voice of reason. Diamond is a #5 starter or long man on a contending team and that is their best guy. Without great health from the M & M boys next year this team will challenge the Stros for...
