Here is a short list of needs from the Scott Miller article:

 

BOS: SS, CF, Leadoff Hitter

LAA: DH

PHI: SP

LAD: SP

BAL: SP

SD: SP

MIN: Another Hitter

Here are some funny quotes from the article in reference to the Sox:

 

"My reaction was, basically, s---," Gardenhire said of the Sox landing Thome. "You can figure out a way to print that. It's not exactly where we thought he should land."

I could picture him saying that.

 

Anybody who recalls watching them flail like blind cats in the World Series against the Chicago White Sox knows they need offense.

That is a great way to describe the Astros hitting.

 

Just thought those were kinda funny, and it was interesting to see a few teams left off the list.

Twins are f***ed, they should rebuild IMO

 

 

The Twins are probably a year away from having a rotation as good as the White Sox, and their bullpen will almost always have live arms in it.

 

Rebuilding would be dumb. Retooling would be smart.

The question with the Twins is probably going to be the same for the next few years...do they try to stay close every year and hope their pitching gets hot enough and people stay healthy enough for them to make a run @ the end, or do they at some point trade some of their young pitchers for 1-2 big bats to really make a run for the title?

 

Right now, they're sort of hanging inbetween, which I don't think is smart. Case in point Torii Hunter...if they want to just hang around and hope it all comes together, he should be traded before he becomes a FA, because they won't be able to afford to sign him. On the other hand, if they were willing to trade away some young pieces, they could try to make 1 last run this year while they still have him. Hanging inbetween ends up just giving you draft picks.
