SWSiouxMN Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Not sure what to think about the move on the new POBO. Super young, but comes from an organization with decent starting pitching. Just depends on how much legit power he will have. First few moves are crucial to send the "this isnt business as usual" message. As I have stated before, with a new toy in town starting in 2017 in soccer that will compete for eyeballs and potential playoff runs for Wolves and Wild, the Twins need to send that message down the line that this change is real. Everyone has made big moves, what about you? It would also be nice to consider slashing prices a little on tickets or concessions... 1 Quote
