Again, Bill Smith didn't decide to spend more, and Bill Smith didn't decide to invest more heavily in the international market. Many people were involved in these decisions. Prior to his short stint...

Oh, and mike, averages are VERY meaningful. For example, the average cost of a certain heart treatment at Allina's Mpls. Heart Clinic is $58,000+. The identical procedure's cost at Park Nicollet is...

As for KLAW's and your opinion about not being able to ascertain whether a college player is good or not if they start in Elizabethton? What nonsense. The Twins know exactly what they have. They know...

mike wants wins,

You said you're tired of college guys..beating up on HS players and making the Twins think they're actually good. I pointed out that you're operating from a false premise. I...

Thanks for the laugh, MWLFan. But you know, these guys are right. The Twins don't know what they're doing. I mean, they trot out these college scrubs in Elizabethton, let them beat up on all these...

My hope, coming into the season, was modest: give me a team that's in most of the games it plays, and be somewhere in the rough vicinity of a .500 club. Also, give me a couple glimpses of the future....

This was the first dominant outing for Gibson, which indicates he's been managed pretty well.

Dang. I was hoping Correia would be available. To Detroit.

They didn't promise you that they'd spend 52% yada yada each and every year on MLB payroll. They didn't say that, with the new stadium, they'd be able to be "competitive" each and every year. You're...

Yes, perhaps you SHOULD be. But you're not. It's absolutely fair game to criticise the organization for not spending what you believe they "should". What annoys me is how far the pendulum swings,...

Chief, it wouldn't matter WHAT the allotment is, or whether they outspend the Tigers on farm systems. You will consider them to be "frugal" as long as two things are true: 1. their payroll number is...

Last year, the Twins signed the #7 and #22 ranked international prospects, Minier and Silva. They spent their entire considerable signing allottment. They signed the best pitching prospect in...

Have you thought about maybe continuing to post these? Thanks.

Ancient history.

Sanibelchuck, PLEASE share with us often! Thanks for posting.

Nice AB for Hicks, but I think his struggles will persist a bit throughout the season. Rondon goes back down to AAA Toledo, where he led the Mud Hens to a 7-20 record to start the season.

I love the idea of Ozzie Guillen as Gardy's replacement. I mean, who loves the Twins more than Ozzie?

Thanks for a very good thread, jokin. His quotes indicate awareness and maturity. It's nice to have a few more pitchers around that are critical of themselves to some degree. Pelfrey may be...

Well, maybe half bad and a little more, but better....

Quit making so much sense, Chief. Someone's gonna confiscate your voter registration card yadda yadda...

Cedar Rapids and Ft. Myers are a combined 21-3. Impressive.

No reason to get worked up about two weeks of AAA performance, especially minus several pitchers (Deduno, DeVries/Hernandez, Hendriks, Perez, Harden, Oliveros, Guerra, Blackburn).

The upper minors...

Yes,you're absolutely right (again). What a collossal mistake (again) by Twins management, and by Gardy to run such a fine pitcher and fine fellow out of town.

God knows we need him to shore up he...

From the past, Sandy Valdespino and George Mitterwald. From the present, Swarzak.

Once again, untrue and unfair.
