Prospects salaries are substantially less than proven major leaguers. Is that what this is about to the owners and management?

"Prospects salaries are substantially less than proven major leaguers. Is that what this is about to the owners and management?".....No, but it is one of the perks when your "proven major leaguers" stink and your prospects are your only valuable assets.

"Don't throw 95... don't throw 100mph." Wow, I'm already hearing it from Anderson's lips, the tired, pitiful Twins Way of 'Pitch To Contact'. Yeah. Good luck with that.

Let's see, the Twins schlubs will pitch against guys like Verlander, Fister, Scherzer, Hernandez, etc. Are they taking post season ticket orders yet?

The KC Royals said the same thing every year! We need to remember that it is a long way from minor league fastball to an average Major League starter, let alone an ace pitcher like Grienke who the Twins didn't even try for. That Kool Aid Terry is serving up to deflect what a disaster team he is putting on the field this year must be really good!

I think Berrios should have been included in this group. I know he is the farthest away from the majors but a early draft pick off to a terrific start is encouraging. This is the key for the Twins future. Hope it works.
