    Best bullpen in baseball

    Not a single starting pitcher I'd classify as a top 3 on either Wash or Hou rotation last year.

    It's the 800 pound elephant in the room. How do you win 95 games again without any starter that can get you 200 innings?

    when the Royals won the world series their roster was built pretty similar

    there is no easy out in this line-up.

    bullpen is solid with lots of depth

    Odorrizi and Berrios can get the job done.

    Homer Bailey has re-invented himself

    perhaps they land Madison Bumgarner at the trade deadline or maybe even Marco Gonazales

    Berrios I'll buy into, he has legit stuff

    Ordarizzi had a career year last season, will regress. Gradderal and Dibnak are rookies and Bailey is a 5.

    Gonna have 6 different pitchers with 10 wins and over 120 innings, not good.

    fade this thread. the yanks just got who? Cole. Who did the Twins get? Nobody. Common little bear. Should we all run to the window and pound this?

    it’s weird how the Twins put together this super star line-up and just said ahhh fukk it... we don’t care about pitching

    maybe they have something in the plans

    maybe a young stud will come up through the minors maybe a guy like Chris Paddack who came out of nowhere

    Gerrit Cole peaked last season he is due for a regression

    he won 19 straight last year

    maybe the Astros know he is damaged goods which could explain why they let him walk

    Look James Paxton

    guy was a stud for the Mariners, a true ace

    he goes to the Yankees and became a gas can

    I have a 1st cousin who's in the twins minor league system he's a big guy, tall, athletic, strong... played on a mud volleyball team with my team a couple years back as we crushed all competition as he wasn't yet in the minors. funny tho, he didn't want any part of diving in the mud... i did all that dirty work to keep volleys alive so he and his bro could smash all the spikes

    They can't beat the Yankees when they play them. Even if Cole regresses, the Yankees will upgrade more than the Twins. I think the Twins have some very good players, but if they play NYY forget it. If they don't, then you could be right.
