    Buxton has always been, and continues to be, that shiny object ...

    Exactly. I've been pointing this out for the last month. Great article but I find it interesting you left off Larnach. He's batting 272 in AAA and got yaked from the majors when he was our RBI leader. The Twins are letting Gallo steal a very important development year in the majors.

    Thanks for the update. I had almost forgotten about him ..

    I thought I'd give the Twins brain trust a few kudos to balance our my criticisms. Picking up Castillo and Stewert wwre really great moves even though Stewart got hurt. Sticking with Pagan and Keppler has turned out as well. Never thought I would say that about Pagan but it's true. Until it isn't 😄

    A bigger question is, what does Gallo have on Falvey and Lavine? It's obvious to the entire fanbase Gallo is a bust. It used to pain me every time he came to the plate but now I actually catch myself hoping for him to strike out over and over again just to put pressure onPalvey to cut him loose.. Are they just that stubborn they don't want t to admit their mistake.. The travesty is that they put the development of Larnach at the major league level back a year .. That's criminal

    Even Garlick made more sense than RupRow.

    100% hope that's their plan. Yep, just found another reason the Correa move might have been a mistake. Only so many dollars to go around. Correa is a wizard in the field which helps offset his BA. In his 2 years with us the outlier in his hitting was his hot streak at the end of last season. To this date he's performed at the Plate similar both years. I sure hope he has another late season hot streak. I can understand why we signed him the first time but the second time we had already drafted Lee with Lewis as well. Okay, last time I rag on spending all that money on Carrea. Just hope he starts earning his money.

    True, if his hitting bounces back we're okay BUT we have a lot of dollars riding on it. The last guy we paid big buck for (Donalson) clogged the spot.
  9. saviking
    Good point .. as long as Correa can find his swing .. which he probably will
  10. saviking
    I would agree with you if Correa was a two or 3 year rental. But he will clog that spot for a long, long time.
  11. saviking
    I agree. All they did was clog up shortstop when they had two young stars in the waiting, similar to what they did with Gallo.
  12. saviking
    DAMN YOU GIANTS AND METS. LOL The Mets were an ankle away from throwing Carrea's big contract on the top of their big Bonfire. iI would have been epic!
  13. saviking
    How fast was Bartolo Colon's fastball when he pitched for the Twins .. I think with Dallas, it will come down to how crafty and accurate his pitches are. Fingers crossed ..
  14. saviking
    Actually the Twins did make a big move at the deadline. They didn't trade Gray ...
  15. saviking
    His era was under one. Guess that wasn't good enough ..

    What bothers me about our front office is that like in the case of Gallo they won't admit and correct their mistakes ...
  18. saviking
    Well said, 1991 ..
  19. saviking
    Just some musings. After the Mets classic debacle I chuckle when I think the Mets were an ankle away from adding Correas massive contract to the top of the bond fire 🔥
  20. saviking
    It's not Larnach's fault the Twins spent 11 million on a retread like Gallo preventing a 26 year old from being able to adjust to the majors this year. I'll pit Larnach up against Gallo all day and all night.
  21. saviking
    I'm thrilled we didn't trade Larnach and that we DIDN'T pick up a right handed bat. Lewis will be and is that right handed bat ..
  22. saviking
    Cut Gallo and Salono, trade Keoler if he isn't going to be on the team long term, shut down Buxton. Hey, I'm more interested in keeping the young players for next year.
  23. saviking
    We need another right handed bat they. Our lineup had 8 right-hander and one lefty. Only run came from the lefty. It's not the side of the plate. It's the players AT the plate.
  24. saviking
    Actually only have one option. Promote him to the bigs or lose him.
  25. saviking
    It's not Larnach's fault the Twins risked 11 million on Gallo to the detriment of Larnach and Wallner. The Twins seem to favor keeping players that are out of options so maybe it's good he will be out of options next year. They can leave him alone and let him develop because Gallo isn't going to be here next year and Kepler should get traded ..
