Curiouse maybe some of you twin fans can help me here How much of this team did Wayne Krivsky help assemble ? Kind of curious as to what Red's fans have to look forward to inow that were into our offseason.

Rootin for an '87 repeat. Twins beat Tigers in ALCS and Cards in WS.

I still cannot believe that the Tigers got swept by the Royals. Let's not get too cocky with the A's here.

He was a help to Terry Ryan. Krivisky didn't make the moves, but I credit him with a lot of what the Twins did in the past.

ESPN's staff:

5 have the Twins losing to the A's in the ALDS
3 have the Twins losing to the Yankees in the ALCS
2 have the Twins losing the World Series
7 have the Twins winning the World Series

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playof...ory?id=2610409

So, more than half think that the Twins will be the series team. And none of them think the Tigers will beat the Yankees.

I can't believe Peter Gammons has the Twins losing. That surgery must've done something wrong with his head.

Gammons always has the Twins doing well, that was surprising.

Twins lose. It's all Frank Thomas, for some reason he always comes out against the Twins and has a big game.

I think this thread can get some more mileage.

Keep or Let Go:
Torii Hunter
Juan Rincon
Carlos Silva
Rondell White
Luis Castillo

I think those are it...that I can think of.

I do feel that Hunter has lost a step defensively and there has got to be a study about players being in their free agency years stepping it up slightly. I see a major disappointment if the Twins bring him back. Granted, if he goes somewhere else nobody is likely to do as well as he did this year (hell, he had a career year). However, he's a centerpiece in the clubhouse and fans would be pissed if he left. I wish I could wish him luck elsewhere, but I can't. Verdict: TWIN

However, with Santana/Liriano/Bonser/Baker/Garza/Perkins/Durbin/Gassner/Slowey all ready for the majors, I don't see Silva coming back. He had a good year last year but just plain sucked this year. Verdict: GONE

I'd be surprised if he stayed in the AL because he hates DHing. He could be back as a Twin, but the chances are unlikely. Verdict: GONE

Punto can play 2B and Punto has proven he can hit decently and is a solid defender. Save the $5.75 million for someone else, I say. But it won't happen. Verdict: TWIN
