A few of the really hard core Twins fans/bloggers (John Bonnes (Twins Geek), Nick Nelson (Nick’s Twins Blog), Parker Hageman (Over the Baggy) and Seth Stohs(SethSpeaks.net) have come up with some recommendations for the Twins’ off season moves. Some suggestions are summarized in this entry, but for the really hard nosed of you, they’ve written it all out in excruciating detail in a book (which they were kind enough to provide me an advance copy. Thanks, John.) Here it is: Twins Centric Offseason GM Handbook.

Find a parking spot near that new stadium?

Twins-branded ponchos, stocking caps, and mittens at the concessions?

Linking to that blog actually leads you to the Strib. Would be nice to tell people that since lots of us don’t like to go there, because of the excruciating load times.

From the file “Your Only As Good As Your Last Outing” I read a lot of people saying that the Twins have to get rid of Joe Nathan. A blown save and suddenly he’s persona non grata.
Maybe that has calmed down, now.

I think it’s rather the culmination of his increased unwillingness to challenge batters with his fastball made evident through several shaky outings and a few high-profile blown saves down the stretch. Top-notch closers can peter out real fast and getting rid of him needs to be considered while he’s worth something. But given the state of the rest of the bullpen, it just may not be possible.

Kwatt understands the Twins Way. take project, develop into top tier talent, trade when fully ripened. will be interesting to see how this plays out vis-a-vis baby jesus.
