It this team can stay healthy it will be a very good team. Loads of talent.

Problem here: the Minnesota Twins medical staff on crack.

There is NO WAY they all say healthy. It's a virtual guarantee two or three staring pitchers will miss significant time. Two or three bullpen arms will flounder and/or be injured too.

And then there's Lewis, Buxton, and Correa... Do I really need to talk about them?

I question how much talent there really is. After this anemic off-season, I have little to no faith in this team even if they stay healthy.


Outside of Lewis our high end talent (Lopez, CC, and Buck) are reaching the 29 and 30s age with Ober, Duran, and Ryan not far behind.....reason why they needed to spend last year.

The Twins, who need to clear space on their 40-man roster for Danny Coulombe and Harrison Bader, traded Michael Helman to the Cardinals for cash considerations.

Is Pablo Lopez in the Top 20 or did they forget about him?

You feel we can stay healthy? (Lewis, CC, Buck, Lee, Ryan, etc.)?

Sounds like Jerry wanted to get rid of his 19% and was negotiating. They were calling his bluff and would have bought the Twins if they didn't get the Sox...on top of it they are White Sox fans.

Bringing in pitchers from other organizations that leapfrog over our own prospects is kinda the Twins MO

Maybe?

He's definitely willing to spend, but he's been kind of a trainwreck in Phoenix.

No shit! Better still would be doing a better job of drafting and developing our own pitchers. We have Ober, Jax and Sands to show for 9 years under Falvey.
