    Are you seriously being ignorant? These deals & others fell into their laps; all they had to do was basically to say yes. He never initiated any of these deals. Even this Duran trade they did not initiate, they just sat back & waited for the best deal for an elite impact closer in demand & if they couldn't get a deal that significantly helps the team, then you say no. But he said yes! And yes this Anti-Falvey has been there for a long time. Many ignore his blunders & many hope that he could change (me included), some, like Falvey, hope everything miraculously will work out but it hasn't. We are reaping what he has sown. To be clear, I do not dislike Falvey; I was one Falvine's biggest supporter. But I don't agree with how Falvey is running this ship.

    I'm not the one who moved the goalposts. What was important before is no longer important & has been substituted with HRs & OPS are important, nothing else is. What these good coaches had they never valued. They replaced them with terrible coaches that didn't refute the FO philosophy. Instead of firing these bad coaches they promoted them. It's no secret, just a difference in philosophy.
  3. Doctor Gast
    We wonder why the players are so flat. Maybe it's because this FO does nothing to make this club better & at times makes it worse. I'd be totally pissed if I were a Twin & this FO traded away an elite closer & got nothing that could help us now or in the near future. That they helped the other teams more than our own. Please, someone else take him so we can take advantage of him via trade. No wonder he's so well-liked in the league.

    Tanner Swanson was the main one who developed Jeffers & others, but he's long gone. James was our hitting coach who individually helped many of our good hitters, but he's long gone. Joe Ryan gets a lot of his development outside the organization. How much has the coaches helped these players & how much is it them doing it on their own & natural talent? How many player that don't make it here but leave here & they become stars? I don't doubt that the pitching coaches are helping but what about them learning their positions, the fundamentals & etc. Where are the catchers we have developed since Jeffers (Jeffers at best is average defensive catcher when he's not worn down)? Where are all the 1Bmen & DHs from all the big bats we drafted high? And there seems a lot who falls through the cracks.

    I'm sorry, I can't get over this. With all the time & demand for Duran, is this the best he could do? If this is the best he could do at the deadline, I wouldn't trade him, I'd be too embarrassed & quit & let someone who knew what he was doing take over. Social media should roast this guy, but they'll praise him for giving PHI such a good deal.
  6. Doctor Gast
    You were generous. I picked them if they were lucky 80 wins (& that's not hindsight). Not because the core was bad but because Falvey & Co is that bad. And they'll continue to be bad until Falvey is gone. They do practically nothing to help this club in the offseason & the deadline. They normally do more harm than good. & then the team has to suffer through the season. When will the Pohlads wake up?
  7. Doctor Gast
    Correa is at his low point, That's exactly when you shouldn't trade him. But leave it to Falvey to trade him. I wouldn't trust Falvey to switch my old underwear for new ones.
  8. Doctor Gast
    Thank you Fire Dan Gladden. Dan Gladden has nothing to do with the condition of this club.
  9. Doctor Gast
    I have to find something better to do. Following this team with Falvey at the helm is torture. Why couldn't we have Milwaukee's GM instead?
  10. Doctor Gast
    We have to officially rename our team to MN Rockies or Twinkies. I would never buy this team now if I had an extra $1.7B lying around. Why get all these prospects if you can't develop them?
  11. Doctor Gast
    Super disappointed! Someone should have told Falvey that it's the seller who's supposed to get the deal not the buyer. There's no hope for this i***t. What a joke! How are we suppose to get anywhere with this joker at the helm? Move over CO we are going to race you for being the worse team. By the time they get him out of here he'll put us into Twinkies II realm.

    If you actually read my text & have an understanding beyond analytics, it's clear that Salazar is a clear change of scenery player. Clemens was 29 & had several seasons with a ton of regular MLB ABs, with several teams & had very unimpressive stats. He had horrid stats this year before coming to the Twins. I would not have taken a chance on him. For players, it's tough emotionally not to get an opportunity & not get the playing time you deserve because the players ahead of you. Again, he is a very good MLB defensive catcher (for your information, catching is a prime position if not the most), he got a stint of regular playing time in the MLB last season & hit .320/.387/400. His poorer-than-usual hitting is a sign that he's ready for a change of scenery.
  13. Doctor Gast
    Make him throw strikes.
  14. Doctor Gast
    Yeah
  15. Doctor Gast
    Great catch by Keirsey, He leads off the 3rd, Twins can really rally.
  16. Doctor Gast
    IMO, we could have done better. I imagine that all buyers called the sellers. When HOU called, I'd offer Paddack to them. HOU has some injuries & Paddack is an upgrade over some of those they are using, you can't have enough pitching & Paddack can be an elite BP help when needed. Paddack is from TX & would fit right in. If you want to save even more money, you could have thrown in Vazquez. Vazquez has postseason experience & is very familiar with HOU. My target would be Caezar Salazar. He's their #3 catcher behind very good catchers Diaz & Caratini. Salazar is a good defensive catcher & a good LH hitter. He has played very little. he had a good last season but has only caught 5 games this season. When given an opportunity, he could shine. He could be our backup catcher now & in the future. IMO, Salazar is Jimenez's ceiling 5 years from now if Twins can develop him. And if you love lotto tickets so much you could get a lotto ticket besides. We have the leverage so why not take advantage of it.

    We aren't rebuilding; we need players who can contribute to our areas that are fragile NOW, not 2 or more years down the road. Why give up players that impact us NOW & in the future, for players who can't? What some people can't understand- We are in the driver's seat, we are the one who can dictate what our demands are & we need to exercise that position. If the buyer would rather pass on their need to compete instead of meeting our demands. Then we go to someone who will, if there is nobody, then we keep them, plain & simple. We have the leverage, use it. I don't care if big markets think they have the right to our players & we have to bend to their demands.
  19. Doctor Gast
    That's very true, but still we aren't in the rebuild business. We still have big contracts in Correa, Buxton & Lopez that prevent us from rebuilding. Under that fact, we have to be competitive next season to validate their salaries. To wait for prospects to make an impact on the team 3 or more years down the line doesn't help us now. I don't blame the players for the situation that we're in.
  20. Doctor Gast
    I didn't say I wanted Lewis "to sit," which means to bench him. I'm very big on Lewis & he's fine at 3B. I mean to give him more of a break & bat more DH or even if he's open give him time at 1B. IMO, Lee is better at 3B where he could slide over at least some more of the time.
  21. Doctor Gast
    Absolutely, give Buck all the time he needs. Give Correa a break. Love to give Ryan a break but that won't happen.
  22. Doctor Gast
    Trade our expiring contracts. If we can obtain Teel or E Quero in a delayed, 3-way trade or J Quero in a straight trade with MIL. Then I'd be open for trading Duran or Jax. If not, then I'd keep Duran & Jax & target Salazar & Feducci. Falvey loves to be the MLB darling, so he'll trade Duran or Jax for whatever looks the best on paper & soak in the limelight. If it appears that Falvey isn't going anywhere. Then why waste our time & money? This offseason, trade Correa, trade everybody & go through a long baseball purgatory.
  23. Doctor Gast
    Congratulations to Lee for another great night! Maybe he shouldn't be sent down. Looks like to me that maybe Correa & Lewis could use some extra time off & leave Clemens at 1B & sit France against RHPs & bring up Martin to play 2B. Great play by Bader, Our rotation is battling, & we have no reinforcements in AAA. Welcome back Jeffers.
  24. Doctor Gast
    I like to remind everyone that we aren't rebuilding like MIA & CWS, So if Falvey is smart, the currency has to be promising MLB-ready impact players, not prospects. So if the team that can land E Quero or Teel from CWS, that is the team I'd be open to negotiating with. Even NYY :(
  25. Doctor Gast
    IMO, we should focus on having enough SPs (that means maybe going outside the organization). I'd like to bring up our young SPs sooner & have them pitching long relief rather than keeping them at AAA. I have stated this before I don't think we have anyone in AAA who is really ready to make that jump (not Adams or Ohl)
