Stoudt is Top 10 and Campbell is Top 20 in the M’s system. Both are pitchers, (which is what the team needs) and both are set to arrive in the majors in 2022-2023. I’ve never heard of either of them so I can’t say much in detail about either of them. Dunn? He looks like a reclamation project. Not interested. I would probably do it but keep in mind both parties need to agree.

This is a discussion that I've seen come up in a few places, particularly in this thread. An argument that I've seen a lot is that the reason this FO has the winning percentage they have is entirely due of the core they inherited which was constructed by Terry Ryan, rather than anything they did. I thought this would be something we should dig a little deeper on, because Falvey/Levine did inherit a solid young core that was constructed by Terry Ryan, no doubt. However, there are a ton of other things to consider, such as the philosophies and analytical differences between the two regimes. What do y'all think? -
I wouldn’t mind adding a couple of extra teams. Montreal for sure would be one place, and then IDK. Maybe Carolina, San Antonio, Portland, or Nashville?
-
Simple as the title. What do you think about the 2021-22 MLB offseason? Describe it in memes. Rules: 1. Memes only, no words. 2. Everything must be safe for work. 3. No politics. 4. Snark and sarcasm are welcome, but not distastefulness or disrespectfulness.
-
The FO’s win percentage is 52.7%, averaging 85 wins/year. The two years prior to this one they had a winning percentage over 60%.
-
Arraez definitely has value. If the Twins don’t want to trade Polanco, then they should trade Arraez IMO.
-
Don’t forget about a new GM. What are y’all’s top candidates for that position?
-
Welp, season over. 8-9. Zimmer better be fired…
-
I thought Dozier got cut before the season (?)
-
My apologies. I wanted to come up with a more interesting and different topic, rather than another discussion about the FO or Ownership or Management.
-
It’s hard to be as bad as Udoh has been.
-
Zimmer is gone. No question. Spielman has some upsides and some downsides. I like the idea of giving him a “promotion” so that he has influence on the team in some ways but not in other ways. Cousins. I would try to trade him or, if there are no takers, bite the bullet and cut him. His decisions caused him to miss a win-or-go-home game. That’s enough. I don’t have any issue with seeing what Mond can do. However, he needs better coaches that can use his strengths. All in all, this team absolutely needs new leadership.
-
I was thinking about writing in length about this. I might do it eventually, but I decided to make this more of an open discussion. Here are some questions to consider: (no poll this time) 1. Which playoff failure of 2003-present was the most bitter of them all? (in your eyes, of course) 2. What are the recurring themes in these failures? 3. Is the current FO/leadership capable of getting the team over the hump one day?
-
Zimmer won’t be keeping his job
-
Trade Cousins too.
-
Maybe he could play TE
-
FTFY
-
Maybe we will next year?
-
At least Zimmer will be fired, on a positive note.
-
What’s the point of even having a kicker or punter
-
What in the **** did I just watch
-
How come?
-
I agree with this. 2017 was Zimmer’s chance and they underachieved. It doesn’t seem possible that a team as talented as the Vikings that year get beaten so badly in the NFC Championship Game, but it happened. I think Zimmer had a lot to do with that.
-
Just imagine what the Rays could do with even a mid-level payroll…

If you’ve been reading my content lately you’ll know that I’ve talked about the FO a lot. Mainly about the moves they’ve made and the job they’ve done, and what they need to do. Today, I want to touch on something in more detail. A lot of what this FO’s fate is going to come down to in 2022 is what we see from their pitching development. I want to know what y’all think about that. Do you think a core of Duran, Ryan, Ober, Balazovic, Winder, Canterino, and Woods Richardson will materialize to a lot or will it not materialize?
