We are interested in adding left-handed pitching.

That's the easy one to see. I look deeper.

The problem with looking deeper is that it's all on the surface with the Twins. Cheap owners, running a cheap organization always looking for cheap options.

The wondrous off-season continues. Ehire Adrianza has been added to the organization in a quality control position.

We are in the same boat as last year....need a couple of pieces. We are actually behind last year were we ended up with a broken starter and reliever from Seattle in a trade that brought enough cash to sign Santana and a backup OF.

They are really scaling back the Twins Caravan events. Not too many years ago they had 6 or 7 different legs and would go all the way to Crookston, Minot, Bismarck, etc. This year they aren't even going to Duluth. WTF.

Leg 1 features Austin Martin, Zebby Matthews, Justin Morneau, Cory Provus and T.C. Bear, and will visit Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Welch and St. Cloud, Minn., and Fargo, N.D.

On Leg 2, going to Willmar, Minn., Sioux Falls, S.D., and Owatonna and Mankato, Minn., the attendees will be Brooks Lee, Louie Varland, Kris Atteberry and Glen Perkins, with T.C. Bear at select stops.

As a MyTwins Member, you have the first opportunity to purchase a ticket to a once in a lifetime autograph session with five National Baseball Hall of Fame players:

• Bert Blyleven
• Rod Carew
• Joe Mauer
• Paul Molitor
• Tony Oliva

This exclusive autograph session takes place at Target Field on Saturday, January 25th beginning at 1:15 p.m. and includes:
• One autograph per Hall of Famer
• MLB autograph authentication

A limited number of tickets are available for this opportunity, and all proceeds benefit the Minnesota Twins Community Fund. Secure your spot before they sell out!

-------------------------------------

Out of curiosity I checked the ticket price. $381.50. And that's for only one ticket. Not to mention the attendee needs to provide the items to be autographed (official MLB baseball is probably the best way to go, and I think those are pushing $20 each now). Is this really going to sell out???

We need more than a couple of pieces.

Yep but I was talking about a big RH bat and pitcher last year....this year no idea but mostly don't care to even think about it as I know they won't do anything. All it would take is one trade or FA signing to at least care.
