    This is shaping-up to be a year of acquiring warm bodies. Well, at least we can hope they're warm.
  2. dberthia
    You just know anybody who was DFA'd by the Marlins has a bright future ahead of them. He'll fit right into this organization.
  3. dberthia
    The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Pohlad family is like a whack-a-mole game- there's always going to be another one popping up.
  4. dberthia
    Don't know much about him. He looks to be a Sano type, but with a 50 point higher average and is a switch hitter. We could've done worse (like Sano).
  5. dberthia
    I heard Matt Capps and Nik Turley are also available.

    Not falling for the rage-bait. I will just ask: "Have you seen the young guys"? I see nothing to get excited about, and I have no faith in the people who brought these guys into the organization or work with them on a daily basis. Not angry, just apathetic- that's worse.
  7. dberthia
    The fact we're still discussing him as a viable option is terribly depressing.
  8. dberthia
    This is just another example pointing out how much the Falvey regime has failed to develop its own internal talent pipeline. Having to overpay for mediocre free agents isn't a sustainable strategy.
  9. dberthia
    I forgot one: Who will be the position player you pitch a couple of times a week when we're getting pummeled?
  10. dberthia
    I don't expect any of these to be asked or answered truthfully: How much is Falvey going to dictate the day to day decision making? What are you going to do differently to get more out of the once-promising young guys? Why should we expect any different results here than you had in Pittsburgh?
  11. dberthia
    Another injury-riddled, past his prime guy? Fits the Twins perfectly- that's our wheelhouse.
  12. dberthia
    Was he THE problem? No. Was he part of the problem? Without a doubt. The entire organization is dysfunctional, from the owners on down. I can't think of anybody who didn't contribute to the downfall. Well, maybe I'll give the janitorial staff and field crew a pass.
  13. dberthia
    I'd be shocked if they went outside the organization. If they do what they should and fire Falvey, the new guy won't be around long anyway. Whoever they bring in is going to be in a thankless situation, so I doubt many talented people outside the organization would want to associate themselves with this dumpster fire. Whoever they pick, I hope they can motivate the young guys and actually display some human emotions.
  14. dberthia
    Good, but now let's get rid of everybody above him in the food chain as well. There's no one in this entire organization I'd trust to rebuild this team.
  15. dberthia
    Rocco and Falvey both need to go. They've had plenty of time. It's not working. Let's get a manager in here who has a pulse and can be a motivator.
  16. dberthia
    When you're beaten soundly by a "lowly" team, perhaps it is you that is lowly. Just sayin...
  17. dberthia
    This team could use a real fire lit under them instead of the flatlining "leadership" coming from Baldelli.
  18. dberthia
    The lane they picked should be barrelling toward Baldelli as well.
  19. dberthia
    Does it have to be only one? I'd like to see them sell-off everybody and anybody they can get a warm body for- a "nuke and pave" approach, if you will. If only one, I'd keep Duran, simply because he's younger.
  20. dberthia
    Another retread from the scrap heap. Nothing to see here.
  21. dberthia
    Well, this IS the team that thought it would be a good idea to put Royce Lewis in CF and Miguel Sano in RF. This move seems comparable.
  22. dberthia
    There seems to be a systemic problem with this bunch. Look at young hopefuls like Lewis, Lee, Julien, Miranda and Wallner. They do well in the minors, come up to the big leagues and have some initial success. People start to think they are going to have that kind of production for 10 years and hail them as potential stars. Then MLB teams get them on film, figure out their weaknesses, and attack them. This is where either these guys make adjustments and have some level of success (Lee, Lewis), or are unable to make adjustments and fall off a cliff (Julien, Miranda, Wallner). It seems to me that this organization either isn't setup to help these guys make adjustments, or the players are unwilling/unable to do so. I tend to favor the organizational explanation.
  23. dberthia
    Maybe I should've worded my post differently. While they knew he had issues and said so, they were still publicly saying he was just fine to pitch. He was not.
  24. dberthia
    But everybody was saying he was just fine? LOL. This team treats injury news like the nuclear launch codes. It was obvious to any casual observer there was something physical going on.
  25. dberthia
    There was a time when I cared, but not anymore. This organization is getting everything it deserves.
