      You're still missing the point. The twins aren't going to spend $200+ million a year. They're going to spend about $100-$120 million a year. How do you improve the current team using that figure?

        Not blowing it on Punto and Crain. Or spend more to make more, or be happy being the best in what's been a poor division....

          I bet if we hit 100 points better than we have with the bases loaded, we'd have, oh, maybe 5 more wins, just to randomly throw a number out there.

          Now, if we expand that to RISP......imagine that.

          And I'm in the corner that those avgs will improve/etc, and we'll obviously see the difference against teams like the NYY.

            Ok, that's $6,000,000. In 2014 Morneau is a free agent. Do you resign him at around $20,000,000 (which is essentially the $6,000,000 right there)?

              April 10: HR, 2 rbis Twins win 2-1 at white sox
              April 12: HR, 2 rbis Twins win 5-2 hosting the red sox
              May 16: HR, 4 rbis Twins win 6-3 at new york
              May 27: 2 HR, 5 rbis Twins leading 8-2 hosting NY

              Not exactly a large sample size to be fair. Plus, if they'd lost one of those games, people would say that winning 3/4 is nice, but they still can't win in the playoffs.

              edit: And does anyone know what the twins are hitting with RISP? I still can't find it anywhere online as a team.

                Yes(assuming he's still productive and health), they'll have the money as long as they keep filling Target Field. How do keep filling Target Field? Win. And how do win, get the best.

                    I definitely hope they resign morneau and I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to get it done. Nathan is nearing retirement and that will free up $12 million, so that's a win/lose situation. That $12 million (or at least a portion of it) should be used to find a more permanent closer. Getting an ace will probably require a heck of a lot more money than the twins can afford, unless morneau doesn't resign.

                    It will be interesting to see what Target Field brings in year-to-year. Hopefully revenue continues to increase and I'd like to assume the budget will increase accordingly.

                          Yeah, I think we've seen the last of Joe Nathan as a Twin. With 12-18 months of rehab, next year's season is a question and that'd be the end of his contract I think. I'd like to find out if the number of Twins pitchers having Tommy John surgery is high compared to rest of the league.

                            While not necessarily Tommy John, I think the Cubs have had major pitching injury woes in the recent past, and there were questions about how their staff coached them (something in the mechanics being taught).

                              Three Tommy Johns for the Twins in the last 3-4 years.
