    Why? Burrows, Gracia, and a few others are taking up/eating innings that should go to several of our own propects. This is the fundemental problem with the FO - constantly trying to find reclamation projects eating up roster space instead of looking and using our own prospects to see what we actually have. The FO has clearly misjudged some of our own prospects previously and continue to show this is one of their major weaknesses (think discarded prospects from others are worth more of a look than our own).

    Outstanding post and shows my thoughts as well. We have seen a total of 0 pitchers make a presence in the pen or rotation during their tenure. We keep hearing about this 'pitching prospects' but are not seeing many at the big club and the ones we have are not impressive to say the least. Maybe that changes, but maybe (given the post above) it does not....

    This. Not sure how anyone can be more that just skeptical at this point (and doubtful is not out of the realm). Yes 2019 was a great year with juiced baseballs and the Twins stacked with hitters who could put it in the seats. Ball changes and so did the hitter results. 2020 really can't be judged good or bad given the strange circumstances all year. That leaves the other 3 yrs which have not been good. So color me between skeptical and doubtful.

    So you are saying Falvine need 10 years (the 5 they already have, plus another 5 yrs from now) to be judged on how well they are handling the pitching pipeline and staff? I simply do not agree with that length of time - judgement starts now and thru next yr which gives them 6; plenty of time.

    This is the winning post in this thread. We need to once and for all end the falacy that Falvey is some kind of pitcher whisper. He has been here 5 yrs and identified as many quality pitchers as I have - zero (at a much higher salary I would add). The other fact is there are many folks on here who routinely criticze (and rightfully so) this FO for there inability to evaluate their own talent. There are constantly posts about eliminating dead weight/wood to evaluate what the team has in the wings and these guys routinely tap cast-offs and has-beens instead of our own young talent which has unfortunately sprouted in other organizations periodically (whilst I have yet to see them identify and develop any of these cast-offs).

    Falvine created this 'tough spot' for the Twins themselves (totally self inflicted). Litterally every move made this offseason has been a disaster (they r the only ones in the org batting 1.000). Add in the very poor Sano extension and very regrettable errors on our own minor leaguers (Badoo, Wade, etc..) And now it is looking possible that they will not be able to pull off any other positive direction moves. Other orgs (Tampa, Cleveland, St. Louis, Oakland) can let player go/trade and retool within a short period of time. Twins front office from Ryan to Falvine have proven they cannot time and time again. A strong front office (as the teams referenced have) would be able to execute the move of Berrios and even a Buxton or Kepler and continue to move forward.
