Lee

Clemens

Bell

Lewis

Larnach

These guys do NOT strike fear in pitchers' hearts as our #2-#6 hitters. 

Lee is going to hit 25 home runs, or get close, after a slow start. What do you want?

So. They will not keep Bell...?...and Buxtonas a DH?

I don't think there's any chance of Bell being back and Keaschall simply can't be in the OF.

Bell is on a one year deal, if I remember correctly.  He won’t be back.  
They will try to keep Buxton in the outfit as long as they can.

Lee is fine. I have no problem with him. But he can't be expected to be one of their top hitters.

Twins ownership inept, incompetent and pick wrong leaders. They spend money foolishly on stop gap players, and draft poorly. None of the previous 5 to 6  drafts prior to these last 2 years were any good. Not like we have been drafting lower that much either. Franchise needs a total overhaul in front office and talent evaluation. When are the Pohlads gonna finally move on from controlling ownership. If they care so much, find owners that can overcome past shortcomings, of under investment, and move the franchise forward. Twins still cannot draft and develop starting pitching at their core, which is a problem. Drafting and developing starting pitching a real weakness. . If you cannot draft it, you have to be able identify and trade for it early.

Yes and no.  They need to get away from signing league average veterans to one year contracts.  If he is back, then they are continuing this trend and what is the path forward.

Zoll has no past experience or real knowledge in his role as GM

He is just Falvey 2.0, who he worked under for 10 years.

It was Falvey who decided to spend the money on stop gaps, he never had a plan, that was not the owners.  If anything hold them accountable for not holding Falvey accountable and bringing in a better management team.

They have the opportunity to do that now, will they take it.  Zoll should be fired the day we are officially eliminated.

All I have heard on here is how Falvey built up the analytics staff and brought the team into the 21st century.  Well guess what that took an investment from ownership, and ownership isn't going away until they decide to go away.  I am more interested in holding them accountable because I can't force someone to sell an asset.
