    💯 on Buck

    Another cool win. It may end, but it's worth enjoying a beautiful summer day and Twins win!
  4. Wedman13
    Let's go fella's! It's a negative game so it's easy to pick parts but it's fun now. Outman, Fedko. Lawrence, whatever.... enjoy it.
  5. Wedman13
    So being clear, which I prefer. Buck should be traded?? It's a fair argument, I just have no idea what you are saying.
  6. Wedman13
    My guess is he'd rather travel MLB style and be able to tell his kids he's made it. I mean zero sarcasm... it's awesome and each of us would pray for it. But he has a McCuscker/Outman chance. It's hard. Play every 5th day, maybe, and if you fail ur done. The cool part is, as a low round pick the dude fought his way onto a big league roster. Pretty awesome

    I think there are a lot of complaints folks can have with this team, but I don't believe effort has been one of them. Buck is known for playing with his hair on fire -to a fault- and he/they do it without having greenies all over the clubhouse these days. talent and execution may be an issue but I don't believe the old 'they need to play like they did back in the day' is.

    Gotta love cherry picked figures to prove one's point. Did the strib give context of other teams attendance? Maybe they did and every other team is up wildly.....only the Twins being down.
  9. Wedman13
    But the problem with your argument is...... they are. Bad division, league, whatever... 30% chance is competing. The question is, what to do now:
  10. Wedman13
    I think that's exactly what it comes down to, and making that judgement is as or more important than any specific deal- and every fan will have a different answer. It sounds like your 'buyer or seller' decision is 'guaranteed first round win' or sell. Mine would be 'have a shot and play meaningful late season games' or sell. Others would be 'world series' or sell. No one is right or wrong but it's critical in the short/long term decision making. Wonder where Tom P is at. also, this is why a guy like Joe Ryan is so damn valuable. Yes it takes a good 5-7 starters to 'get to the playoffs'. But it takes 2-2.5 really good starters to win once there. The 85 twins are a classic example.

    I found this statement kinda funny.....
  12. Wedman13
    Hi! Are we spending a beautiful Sunday hunting posts from June 6th? Kinda weird if you ask me, but I can do a quick search also. Do you still believe in your comment from the Royce/Outman thread on that same day? Thought I heard Arcia was DFA'd. I guess no one is perfect :) "I'm not 100% convinced there isn't a Keaschall to AAA move that happens IF Royce can establish himself (big IF). I think they hold onto Arcia for a while to see what options present themselves."

    Need a 6/13 update (haven't seen it). A few box scores look crazy. Jenkins and Houston bringing some hope.
  14. Wedman13
    I have seen none play live, so there's that. But if the Twins draft Burress at #3 I'm out. That would be an incredible reach. Personally if I'm drafting 1/1 it's Lackey. He just seems most transcendent. And I know I'm probably alone, but Roch makes me nervous. He doesn't look 6'2 to me and when I heard he had below avg speed I couldnt help but think of Brooks. I don't hate BL at all, but would at #3. So for me, it's Lackey/Emerson 1/2 and then pick your favorite of Roch/Flora or Lombard. again, just from what I've read and seen from clips, and not taking $ into account at all.
  15. Wedman13
    Agree, but today's owners do not operate at the individual entity level. Each may be individually audited but depending on structure most gains and losses pass through. It is not uncommon in the least for holding companies to allocate expenses for purposes of preparing for a sale, to create NOL's for tax carry over purposes, or a myriad of other reasons to put lipstick on a pig or prepare it for slaughter. No different than Sinclair taking Diamond/Ballys sports to bankruptcy while their parent still trades on the NASDAQ. Not to mention interests of minority partners. Businesses in today's landscape are continually revalued and balance sheets leveraged based on future intentions and tax advantaged of ownership. So while falvine possibly 'should' have known payroll was intended to be decimated (coincidentally right before ownership actively tried to sell the club), their actions say they didn't know. Why not? We'll never know. But going from trading future assets (Mahle, Gray trades) and signing big $ free agents......to suddenly reducing all payroll says that surely ownership and management were not on the same page - or something quickly changed. And based on that change, falvine did not pivot well to the new reality. so basically, what you said.... but I give falvine a bit more rope than the owners.
  16. Wedman13
    We'll never know. Falvine did operate as if they thought funding was there, then poof. Should they have known? In a Calvin Griffith world where baseball was his only business, yes, the financial standing is more clear. But think of the Pohlads, Wilfs, AROD&Lorie. These are folks with very complex portfolios and their family decisions for generational wealth isn't as clear. Something changed, and in hindsight, (per a poster above) a true rebuild probably should have happened. Instead, we found ourselves with a 'half in half out' plan which, is a fragmented disaster.
  17. Wedman13
    Interesting comments. We're all looking for a villain, but it's not that easy - which makes a solution even harder. this has been a total system failure. From trainers, development, players, Falvey and ownership. our starting pitching was to be a strength. Pablo out, ober stinks now out, Taj up and down then out, Abel out, SWR implodes, Zebby implodes, is Festa still alive? That's 7 of 8 either completely out, became terrible or out for a period. So Blame injury, performance, and an over reliance on unproven arms. catcher-Jeffers strong, then out. Not only implodes catcher, but DH (Caratini was DH in game 1) bell? Not good. Probably on Falvey Brooks and LK? Very average at best. More questions than answers. Lewis? He killed us and we counted on him. larnach/Martin platoon? Meh. On Falvey Wallner? Like Lewis, completely screwed us. Keep in mind... many on here fought like heck based on analytics that despite hitting .202 last year, he was a top 5 RF''er in baseball the farm? Our best prospects are made of glass. buck and the bullpen, better than expected. so I have no idea where we go, but believe if we are looking for 1 scapegoat we are chasing a ghost. But if responsibility has to lie somewhere (and I suppose it does), it has to start with ownership IMO

    Surprised at all of the blowback on this article as it's a pretty legitimate concern when your top pitching prospect cannot throw strikes. Someone mentioned Flora and he gets more appealing by the day. These 7-15th round college arms Falvey so deeply believed he could develop are not working. And the top few round high school pitching picks aren't panning out either
  19. Wedman13
    Pretty neat write up. Thank you. I'll definitely eat some crow and say if you're going to have a AAA team, if guys thrive they deserve a shot. I don't know the details of the 40 man, or who I would ship out - but Sabato and Fedko deserve time with the big club at some point.
  20. Wedman13
    If we could get a return for Rogers or Gomez similar to what we got for Brock Stewart it would sure spice things up around here. I miss it already 😁
  21. Wedman13
    The heck with those not in reality. Clearly Roch, Lackey and Flora have passed their prime. Dump the pick! who in gods name, other than those in lala land would want a 6'5 athlete trending to 18hrs, 30+SB's and an OPS of .870 at 21.? Not worth a flier at all....
  22. Wedman13
    He's already exposed to rule 5? I had no idea that came so quickly!
  23. Wedman13
    You did miss the memo. Unless the article is about Kyler Fedko delivering babies in the back of a VW Beetle while on the way to a non profit event to end poverty and world hunger, most any article leads to this. Knowing what every single response will be from some experts on here, I'm convinced the staff writes articles, chuckles at the irrational responses to come, then hit send with a wry grin. Whatever makes people feel better I suppose...
  24. Wedman13
    So a team like the Rays could trade for Joe, make a run this year, then turn around and trade him at the 2027 deadline for their own haul from a big market team ? If so, yes, to the right team I believe joe could bring even more back than Skubal. Will we? I doubt it
  25. Wedman13
    Because Outman sucks. Despite a decent looking swing, quite possibly the worst MLB hitter I've ever seen. My 8 yr old daughter can see it. Yet it takes experts here to feel the need to point him out in every thread (sorry, yours was the last post so I replied but I did not say you). Just gets laughable.
