Minnesota Twins


Recommended Posts

The Twins franchise-owned Victory Sports One network has folded after it was not picked up for the 2004 season by most local cable outlets and satellite providers.

 

The Twins are back with FSN with their dreams of television revenues and payroll expansion down the crapper. Oh and in other news, they probably won't be able to afford Koskie next year.

 

How is it that they keep winning this damn division again?

I think Koskie is overrated myself.

One good year in 2001... Before that and since, he has been an average corner IF offensively.

Minnesota is a large market like New York and Boston and can afford players. When you're team is in a small town like Chicago, you cannot. Maybe if another couple million people moed to Chicago and a few went to Sox games we could add $10,000 or $20,000 to the payroll.
