    Unserious organization.
  2. dberthia
    Almost everyone in the organization is equally to blame for this situation, but IMHO these players need a manager who's capable of reading the room and lighting a fire when appropriate. Baldelli isn't that guy.
  3. dberthia
    Rocco is not the type of guy to inspire or light a fire under his players. What they really need is a cross between the old school guys who have some "spunk" as well as a good instinct for the game, and someone who can absorb analytics without being completely beholden to them. Rocco is a stoic flatliner who has no feel for game situations unfolding right in front of his face.

    Isn't this more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?
  6. dberthia
    Who could have foreseen Richards being useless?
  7. dberthia
    Clicks must be down these days? This belongs on The Onion. Rocco can't even absorb what's happening right of front of him during the games.. He just burys his head in the analytics.
  8. dberthia
    He makes for a good story, but he's not a major league calibre pitcher.
  9. dberthia
    I'd take Arraez over Lopez at this point
  10. dberthia
    Not bad. Think they could've found a better logo for the front of the hats, and would've preferred a green accent instead of yellow. Overall, I was expecting much worse.

    This could be a long summer. 2 or 3 decent starters, your top players out, and half a dozen guys hitting at or below the Sano line. They've got to beat up the Tigers, White Sox and Angels in the next few series.

    For those clamoring for Bert, remember he wasn't adding much to the telecasts in his later years. His contributions had gotten to the point where they mainly consisted of regurgitating stats from the media guide. I guess if you just wanted him around for the clown aspect, that's fine, but he's not someone who's going to provide insightful commentary anymore.
  13. dberthia
    Removing Smalley would be addition via subtraction.
  14. dberthia
    It doesn't matter what any of us think. The proof will be on (or off) the field. The Twins are historically reluctant to be fully forthcoming with injuries, so, like Buxton, let's hope for the best.
  15. dberthia
    I want to believe, but I won't until I actually see it. Seems like a good guy, but at some point you have to produce. If he can't play in the field or hit better than .220 as a DH, there's really no spot for him.
  16. dberthia
    I'll take it. Jorge has been on the field for fewer and fewer games over the last couple of years, so this seems like a decent return.
  17. dberthia
    Thus far this has been an incredibly disappointing off-season, and this move does nothing to alter that view.
  18. dberthia
    Houston was the better team, but there's no reason we can't be at that level next postseason. We have a great foundation to build on. In the postseason, I'd concentrate on: Dumping Kepler and replace with guys already in the system Dumping Popkins Dumping Polanco and replacing with Julien at 2nd. Acquire a center fielder who can hit Figure out how to let Buxton go and maybe collect insurance on his contract? The guy is washed IMHO. Get Paddack ready to start again, assuming we lose Sonny Not sure about Kiriloff. He really needs to stay healthy and produce. We need a full-time power guy at 1st who can hit 40 HRs
  19. dberthia
    I just hope Lewis is OK. He was noticeably limping at the end there. If he can't go, this team really needs someone else to step up.
  20. dberthia
    Don't see anything to argue with here, including leaving-off Buxton. Hopefully Lewis can contribute.
  21. dberthia
    Our starting rotation bodes well for the playoffs, but I don't have a whole lot of trust in our bullpen with meaningful games on the line. Can you image the butt-clenching if Pagan comes in with a 2 run lead in the 7th inning of a playoff game? Our offense seems to be a roll of the dice, and you never know what you're going to get. Should be interesting.
  22. dberthia
    When you tank against teams like Detroit and KC and take a series with Philly, I'm inclined to say strength of schedule down the home stretch is meaningless.
  23. dberthia
    I can't believe we're still discussing this guy in August. He should've been DFA'd months ago. Where's the accountability? It's not fair to the team to have him in the lineup.
  24. dberthia
    Imagine looking at this team and saying "we're good".
  25. dberthia
    Let's pump the brakes on the Paganaissance. He's had a stretch of adequacy that may or may not be over, but is this a guy you'd really be comfortable with holding a lead in a playoff game?
