    I don’t like trading with the Yankees, they know what they are doing. The Twins not so much. Hicks for Murphy.
  2. MABB1959
    Sadly, they aren't even good at developing 1st round picks.
  3. MABB1959
    Woo hoo! Another boring trade. I feel like we are on the outside looking in and when Correa goes elsewhere they will say we tried.
  4. MABB1959
    1,000,000% agree. Went to a game vs Houston, spent about $300 so excited to see Correa even bought my grandson a Correa jersey and HE DID NOT PLAY! Absolutely no consistent line-up for the last few years. That and no Bally’s on DishTv makes it hard to get to know and love your team.

    I spent about $300 to attend one game. I bought a Correa jersey for my grandson. I do not have the ability to watch on TV. If there were a streaming package to purchase, I would do that. They need to invest get the things you mention. We need to have a stable line and stop trading the good players. Imagine what it would be like if they were able to send out Cruz, Donaldson, Correa and Buxton every game and look forward to the day Berrio's pitches. I remember the days when we got to know and love the team by seeing the same players for most of the season. Watching them now is very much like watching the visiting team.

    Being competitive in the ALC doesn't get them very far into the playoffs. They are always one and done and that is what I consider complete failure.
  7. MABB1959
    Even if the rankings were higher the training staff and coaching never seems to develop. I think they leave them in the minors too long and if we do get a player they are likely to be traded away.
  8. MABB1959
    If I remember right people were in an uproar. It is now worse because of Bally's. No reason they can't strike a deal with a local station to give all Minnesotan's the ability to watch the Twins. I think it is important that the fans can get to know their team.

    I hate that we are always looking at the "left-overs" or hope and pray (old or injury prone) types of players.
  10. MABB1959
    So sad we can't even have hopes. I totally disagree we are small market and if we are it is only because they do not field a competitive team.
  11. MABB1959
    Right there with you. They need to get over sticker shock and just do it. If they don't start spending, they are losing revenue in so many other places. It is like a chicken/egg situation!
  12. MABB1959
    They always say they are in, and they will NEVER spend to get an Ace. Same old, same old every year. Players are rolling off the board. From the MLB site, what does this mean? Few glaring needs and we don't have the foundation? "But given the depth of the existing roster, which currently has few glaring needs outside of a timeshare catcher, the time for a splash could indeed be now." We wouldn't be having this conversation if I didn't feel the foundation wasn't there, Falvey said. “That would be, in my estimation, probably a little unwise to push when you don't have the foundation. So, I couldn't recommend that to ownership as the right path."

    Already gone. The Astros have more depth and money if he doesn't work out. But going to a team like that he will probably perform better. They don't accept anything but the best. Don't think the Twins can work like that since they have no PROVEN depth at all.
  14. MABB1959
    Typical Twin's signing. Hope he can find the magic again and if nothing else he could be a team leader. GRRRR from me.
  15. MABB1959
    Perfect fit because he is cheap. Another hope and player. PASS
  16. MABB1959
    Prospects, prospects, prospects. Why not MLB ready players.
  17. MABB1959
    Well put. That is at a minimum a start.
  18. MABB1959
    Not negative at all. It is Twins reality. We got Correa for one crappy season. Nelson Cruz and Donaldson were also short lived. They get a decent to good player but never great and the good ones are just to sell some tickets for the upcoming season, never long term!
  19. MABB1959
    Waste of brain cells. We never go in for a really good player. Twins are yet to be part of any of the Trade Rumors on MLB.com We will wait until the dumpster is full and sift through that.
  20. MABB1959
    Most are so inexpensive but definitely would let them all go but Urshela and Arraez. IMO the rest are hope and prayer players, been there done that!
  21. MABB1959
    Last thing we need are unhealthy/easily injured players. We are WS winners in that category. But it would be nice to have a HR DH. No idea where Twins HR's will come from next season.
  22. MABB1959
    The Twins are not mentioned in any of the MLB Rumors section. Sean Murphy looks like a catcher we could use among many pitchers.
  23. MABB1959

    They need a new everything strategy.   WS is fun to watch but super depressing at the same time.  Houston was able to both sign good players and make them great!  Twins have maybe 2 players in that category one being Correa who is all but gone and Buxton who the current training staff is unable to keep healthy.  The Twins look like a little league team compared to Houston.

      I loved the way Houston played.  I also like Dusty Baker letting them play.  Rob Thompson made a Rocco mistake pulling Wheeler because there were runners on base.

      But you are right, Houston signs and develops its players.  Look at the turnover since 2017.  Springer and Correa were thought to be cornerstones, but Houston was ready with the next great players and their pitching staff is built to have great starters go deep for great relievers. 

      We want to use 3 -4 RP per game, but we do not have that many good ones and it burns out the staff.

    Is that what helped Presley go from sub par here to a great closer with Houston. Glad to see him close out the WS and get a ring after all the guff he got here.
  25. MABB1959
    Fun article. So wish we had a FO that knew how to build a WS caliber team. They throw us a bone occasionally but those bones stay with the team a year or two (Correa, NCruz, Donaldson). https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34902054/world-series-2022-houston-astros-shortstop-jeremy-pena?platform=amp
