    So, what you should do, "IN MY OPINION", is to use your vast knowledge of the FACTS, to build a portfolio large enough to buy the Twins, appoint yourself as the GM and President of baseball operations, and build a winner. Because it's obvious that you have all the facts and the expertise. My point is, that none of us really knows what the business requires to happen, and I doubt that any of us knows as much as the scouting dept. and front office knows about the players and which ones can actually be had for the price we are willing to pay. This started as a response to all the negativity about Zoll, and I'm just saying that maybe we should give him a chance to build a team before we beat him with a bat.

    Sorry, you're right. Just seeing so many experts writing what looks like 100% fact and it's just not. We fans think we know more than those paid to spend the majority of their time figuring this stuff out. So, my opinion is the only correct way to go. Or at least that is how many of these comments come across.

    Opinion, speculation ana B.S.

    Oh my! Forgive me and him. He had two and a half months to build a team and with no money. What the hell was he doing?

    Not sure why people seem to be so down on Jeremy Zoll. What has he done to deserve such negativity? I put last year directly on Falvey and Baldelli. I favor giving Mr. Zoll a chance to do his job, which at this point, with the restricted payroll he started with, he has not yet had that chance. I have to say, I already like him better than Falvey.

    I think that 2027 is being overly optimistic but a fan can hope he's blowing away the minors such as to force the situation. Realistic optimism is for 2028 with Caratini being retained for 2027. Jackson can be a reasonable backup. If he's not ready by 2029 he may be considered a bust as compared to hype and draft position. None of these options are out of the realm of possibility. Prospects are "only" prospects until they aren't, one way or another. Good luck young man, and hope to see you sooner rather than later. Hopes are high.

    I would add Kreidler to the positives. He has played well at the SS position and his bat has been better than expected. Also Larnach has been better than expected both offensively and defensively. My biggest disappointement has been Royce. I like him at 1st base and although he's been a little better after the demotion, his BA has been abysmal at under .220 and the way he chases the outside pitch is very annoying. Zebby has been a pleasant surprise and I expect him to keep getting better.

    This is good and reasonable coversation. Personally, I love Jeffers and can understand both sides of trading or not, but QO is a big definate "NO". I honestly think that he should be traded if the offer is reasonable. That would take a top 50 prospect. If he doesn't draw that, then they don't want him bad enough. Don't give him away, even though you would be giving him away during the offseason. Even top 50 prospects can wash out. The real thing is, He is our property at this time. If someone wants to buy him for a reasonable price, it only makes sense to sell him. The team has done quite well while he has been out. I doubt that he would have provided any more wins had he not gotten injured. My gut says to make the trade.

    Lets just watch the booth. Who needs to see the game. It's all about the knuckleheads in the booth.

    Great video! You should go pro.

    I'm sorry. But to me, its seemed lame and overblown. The stories were not as funny as they seemed to think they were. The laughter "many times" seemed phony. Especially from Perkins. Generally not a fan of Perkins or Plouffe. The worst is when they have to share the screen with the game. I have to listen to them. That's bad enough. I know what they look like. Also not a fan of interviewing players during the game, especially if they are currently in the game. That stuff should be done pre and post game. Well, that is just my opinion. I know it will not be popular, but you asked. I favor the old time broadcasters like John Gordon, Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Herb Carneal, and yes Dick Bremer. And yes, I am getting old, but Bert at least seemed genuine. At least Justin has that going for him, although he also overtalks with his explaining everything three different ways. Ok, I'm done. Just my opinion. Blast me if you will.

    I hate to say it, but he feels like a poor man's Joey Gallo. And I wasn't impressed with the rich man's Joey Gallo. At least Gallo had some defensive value. Loved seeing his monster homers, but the disappointments were far more frequent. Should be able to get a low level lottery ticket for him, but if not he should probably be DFA'd.
