Thanks for the rundown on the pitchers. Difficult to see what Jason will add that we don't already have, but they appear to have met their goal of lowering the payroll.
Long time no see! Yeah, I think that the payroll reductions and quasi-competing stance in 2012 might be slightly contradictory, but I really think that it depends on whether they can get Morneau, Mauer, Liriano, Baker, Span (in that order) firing in all cylinders come April. They are probably not done yet, will add a right hand arm in the pen and take it from there. If they are out of it in July, they can be traders (unfortunately they did not do that last season). But if everything is go, and there are butts on Target field seats and merch sales pick up, you never know... I hope for the latter.
This blog contains eclectic musings about baseball, mainly centering on the Minnesota Twins and are mainly numbers-driven. I anticipate a few Vikings tidbits here and there, a bunch of historical statistical analysis, some emphasis on minor leagues and prediction of prospect development and production in the majors... just a place to place some thoughts.
I am a Twin Cities expat and SABR member, living on the right coast and have good access to both Twins' AAA and AA teams, albeit not necessarily their home fields.
