Not in complete agreement with this. Our starters and relievers lack consistency very badly. That should be an issue coaches can deal with. Glad you mentioned LaTroy- I get it that he is a local favorite but the blame for inconsistent relievers needs to be on him. This whole team needs to step up its game- so up and down!!!!

The obsession with Keaschall is the usual response from TD in a long line of throwing our young players under the bus. “Figure it out in AAA” ??? He has turned it around at the plate and is young and athletic- he can certainly improve his defense. The correct decisions have been made- Lewis to first, Lee to third ( remember a couple months ago when TD “fans” called for Lee’s demotion). Culpepper is going to be given a shot soon and if he sticks we will have a solid young infield. We have a dozens of coaches- let’s teach him the tricks of the trade- I bet he can play a very good 2nd base! Until then, lay off these young players.

Please use an option and get him down to AAA/AA for a reset.His production at ML level is unsustainable but it is too soon to completely give up. Send him down and see if he can get his mojo working again!!!

All winter and spring I held out hope that the Twins core would start to play to expectations. Wallner, Lewis, Larnach, Lee would join Buxton and Keaschal and the offense would take off. But no- not to be! Time has run out. Dump Wallner,Lewis, and Lee on whatever trade we can get. Release Clemons, Outman, Banda and Roger’s. Bring up whoever we need to field a team. These guys really suck!

Does Lewis have options- he needs to go find his mojo in AAA. What a pathetic spring. Lee to third and Culpepper to short.

He is an automatic out. This should be a no-brainer. Arcia is our backup.

My biggest concern is Lewis. What a terrible spring. Larnach is right behind. not Sue Wallner will contribute anything either. Super disappointed in these “veterans”.

other news: Miranda is making a strong early case to join that mix as a bench bat. He tallied five hits in his first six at-bats of Cactus League play, including a pair of doubles and a home run. A non-roster invitee, Miranda struggled in Minnesota last season. But he’s only 27 years old and posted a .763 OPS for the

Camilo Pascual- much more deserving than all but three on this list. Jim Perry needs to be top 6. Frankie Sweet Music Viola fry's Radke

OMG- talk about getting the fans fired up. Can we make a rule not to add anyone that can’t bat above the Mendoza Line???? All we can add is versatile scrubs who cant hit their weight. This is contending???? BUILD A BULLPEN!!!!!!!

This was made to be an aggressive response. The negativity displayed may have very little impact an anyone in the organizational/ player level, but the negativity bleeds out to the readers and followers of this sight and who doesn’t love to talk about Twins baseball with family and friends. All winter 80% of posts are basically about telling everyone that our core of young player “ain’t got it” . The very same posters who called on bringing up The 6-7 players I mentioned now condemn them for not coming through. Don’t tell me this isn’t true- if you read the posts you know it’s a fact. We have a new manager and some new coaches- let’s give them a chance- I bet they realize that any success they will accomplish must come from our young core. i was not a Rocco fan. I know I do not respond to coaching that doesn’t instill some fire. This doesn’t mean yelling. It means teaching and insisting on the fundamentals of the sport,, which will hopefully instill a level of confidence in your athlete that leads to further improvement and realization of potential. I am not aware of Rocco’s style but his rotation of players, handling of the pitching staff laid back attitude from the dugout came across like he could care less about winning or putting his best players in the field.All sports demand emotion and commitment as well as great fundamentals and frankly this did not shine through from Rocco. so - use spring training to prep your starters to come out of the gate on fire. Correa had 12 live at bats before the season started the season. Starters basically played 1/4 of the AB’s at best. No wonder April was a disaster. Learn to advance runners by bunting, master getting a jump to steal bases, learn to put the ball in play with 2 strikes. defensive execution is inexcusable- so fix it. If you are collapsing mid season hold early bird practices and fix it- they are pros and getting paid to play so put in the time so they succeed.- in all aspects of the game. Winning fixes everything- and preparation is required for winning- on everyone’s part! Even poster on TD.

Gloom and doom. Posters on this site are really downers!!! We have a really good starting rotation with many options. Some who don’t earn a spot can jump to the bullpen. Lewis, Lee, Wallner, Larnach all have the ability to play way over what they have shown. Jeffers is totally under-rated. Keaschal started great but now we have to make him feel bad because he doesn’t meet Twins Daily fielding standards/ add Lee to that. Bitch, bitch, bitch!!! Front office sucks!! New manager won’t be a change, coaches suck!!!! I coached HS sports for 44 years - one thing I found was if you didn’t believe in your kids and expect them to succeed- they wouldn’t!!!!!

These “options” are a pretty convincing argument to getting Jefferson an extension- now!!!!

Move Wallner to 1B. Clemons back to utility, If Martin and Roden don’t get it done- here comes our next generation of stars!!!!

Hmm- Twins fan for 63years- been there all the way. As a coach of 44 years I know that your athletes respond to you if you set realistic expectations and believe in them that they can succeed. Once again- the base is there- they simply need to be coached up to their abilities and be shown that we believe they can do it.
