Byung Ho Parks negotiating rights won for 12.85 mm by unknown MLB club.

Come on Twins!

Indians, Tigers, Rangers, Orioles, Padres have been ruled out so far.
 
Re: MLB 2015-16: Grays Sports Almanac Edition

I'd rather see more money dumped into pitching. We were 12th in the league in runs scored. That should improve as our young players get better and Sano has a full season. Pitching, OTOH, needs to improve. We were 19th in ERA and no one had more than 11 wins.

Twins always need pitching and they always eff it up, and over pay to boot. It's their m.o.

Disagree. There was a time in the mid 2000s that their bullpen was as dominant as the 2015 Royals. Plus we've also had Santana and Liriano duking it out for the Cy young before Liriano's arm blew up.

you can disagree. It doesn't change the fact that our pitching is going to continue to suck if we keep buying veteran 4th starters at inflated prices.

We need our minors to pay off like it has started to with position players.

I agree. The solution to the Twins pitching problem, at least starting pitching, is in house. Go young, and wait for them to blossom.

Santana
Gibson
Berrios
Duffy
Hughes
May
Milone

Best 5 out of 7 make the opening day rotation. There will be injuries, so they'll need all of these guys.


Get 1 or 2 more arms for the pen.

Closer: Jepsen
8th: New Guy (Plouffe trade?)
7th: Perkins/Meyer
Specialty LH Reliever: New Guy (FA?)
Other and Long Relief: Nolasco

That's 13, not sure how many they'll keep.

Holy crap. Lou Brock had his left leg amputated. Complications from diabetes.
