Falvey built this roster. I'm very confused by these comments. 

This is true with the exception of buxton  , though they built this roster and then hired Rocco they just didn't seem to know how to utilize the players at the major league level ( from AAA to the majors is another level of adjustments and developing , they seemed incompetent on seeing that ) ...

Now we are seeing players being shuffled to positions where they just might succeed  ...

I like what I see in having shelton as our manager for the most part , with falvey still here , shelton might not have had the free hand to manage the game and players  ( we had to many failed players play longer than they should have under falvey )...

I'm in agreement they were too dependent on vets.... But that hasn't really changed. This team is old. I anticipate that changing next year, finally, but this will be Falveys picks.... And traded fors.

Will anything really change next year, Zoll helped mold this roster with Falvey.  And if I recall correctly when Levine left, Falvey asserted that Zoll had been very instrumental in helping with the personnel decisions for the last few years.  And I recall hearing rumblings that Zoll had bypassed Levine in the unofficial pecking order of execs.  So I am not sure what will change.

I'm a decade-plus Gleeman and the Geek consistent listener, a long term on again off again SKOR listener, and a recent spotty listener of Destination the Show.

My biggest problem with GaTG is that Aaron just flatly refuses to be positive for more than 10 seconds. And taken further, he often does his best to stifle John's positivity. But the Twins content they put out is second to none, so yeah, put me down for about 4 hours per week :) 

I tend to wander over to SKOR when:
a) the Twins are hot and I want more content
b) It's speculation season. They have ZERO problem wildly speculating, whereas Aaron and John tend to stay away from that

Negativity sells, and in a game like baseball which is built on unfavorable outcomes, it's easy.  He's trying to make a living so I get it.

and I agree, Bonnes I fabulous.
