  1. No it's not, we only need to fill 3B or 2B, and maybe another SP, if Upton doesn't opt out. Our farm system has improved and is a year or two away from having some ready to play for the big club.
  2. I think they only need 1 win against the Tigers to clench a tie, and 2 to win the WC.
  3. The Twins would have to lose either 3 to Cleveland and 2 to the Tigers or visa-versa in order to tie if we win the rest of our games. Not likely...
  4. Either Bridwell or Ramirez could pitch out of the bull pen. For Ramirez pitching from the bullpen may be good for him returning from the torn UCL and he has pitched there before.
  5. Meyer will be on the DL for the entire 2018. Ramirez may not be available next year as well, depending on how well his UCL responds to the stem cell injections.
  6. If Richards can stay healthy for the entire 2018 season he will be a #1, and may even contend for the Cy Young Award. So signing a solid #2, and filling the hole at 2B or 3B may be the way to go.
  7. Arrieta will be 32 and Darvish will be 31. I can't see either of them getting too many years. I guess it depends on your definition of too many years.
  8. Jake Arrieta is a FA, and is 1 years away from a Cy Young award. His ERA this year is 3.43.
  9. We are already paying Trout an average salary $24M/year. Would an extra $10-15M/ year stop us from signing FAs? I doubt it, because of all the dead weight we have coming off the books and the salary threshold goes up every year under the new CBA. Besides with inflation his salary won't seem as much by time it ends.
  10. Career Sept for Trout .273/.408/.498/.905 only in 2015 was he over .300
  11. How long does Verlander stay in? He's at 99 pitches already.
