    Is there any way we can weight this based on what round they’re taken in? I wouldn’t want to put some 7th Rounder in the same category as Darrisaw. Neither of the two are “projects” like Bradbury. Also don’t centers tend to take longer to develop than other positions on the line? And Cleveland played out of position on the right side. I think you’ll see him look a lot better on the left, where he belongs.

    I’ve noticed a lot of fans on other forums aren’t sold on the OL, particularly Bradbury. Although I do wonder how he would perform with competent LG and RG play.

    Happ can go join Shoemaker, bring up someone from AAA.
  4. cHawk
    I think he should stay around in 2022. He seems to have found himself.

    I agree with this. I think the roster is set pretty well. The coaching staff will make the difference between NFCCG/Super Bowl (maybe??) and a Divisional/WC Round loss.

    I wonder how deep we’re talking here…

    Awesome, Adam Rank predicted we go 4-13. Thanks for jinxing us Adam?

    Geez

    Yippee. On the other hand, is there a single decent reliever in this pen? How can all 8 of your pen arms be bad?

    This team is the MLB’s Falcons - Blows leads regularly (duh) - 6 ALCS appearances (ATL has 4 NFCCGs) - Wastes Talent (duh)

    Firing Falvine after one disappointing season would be idiotic, IMO.

    He has won two division titles. That doesn't make him a great manager, but that shows he has some level of competence and he's not the disaster many try to make him into. As for this season, it's one year. Seems negligent to say that this season is the rule whereas the previous two were the exception. If in 1-2 years, the Twins never come close to 2019 or 2020, then you'll have me convinced. But right now, you can't say that he got "lucky" in 2019-2020. You can't say that "the team was so incredibly talented that his mistakes didn't matter" and say for this year "the team isn't good enough to cover up his mistakes" when the core of the team this year is largely the same as the past two years.

    I was referring to win-and-in games, not the 2021 season. I was referring to the two Postseason Series under Baldelli.

    When all of your players who shined in the regular season all of a sudden play well below replacement level it’s really hard to look good.
  15. cHawk
    I need some evidence of this before I can get behind it.
  16. cHawk
    This hurts. Not gonna lie

    Not sure if Rogers should be nominated. As I’ve been watching him, he hasn’t looked like the AL’s best reliever. I think it should go to Liam Hendricks.

    Thielbar is a good story. But he isn’t going to be able to shut down good offenses if he can’t break 90 MPH. He would be fine, IMO, as a fourth or fifth option in the pen. His control (or lack thereof) doesn’t allow him to be a super lockdown arm. I just don’t know. I’ve never been a Stashak fan. He doesn’t have enough velo on his FB (IMO) and is completely unreliable when it matters. I don’t think we’re building up from nothing. I think we need to go shopping for BP arms and get at least two (good) ones.

    The Twins have won 7 of 9. I’m not trying to be a debbie-downer, but I’m still not convinced this season can be saved (I would love to be proven wrong). Do you think Baldelli needs to go after this season? Please share your thoughts down below!

    Do Balazovic and Duran not have #1/#2 potential?
  21. cHawk
    Don't remind me about that game this past year against the Colts...
  22. cHawk
    Concur. I'll say, "Not surprising."
  23. cHawk
    If you don't think a nucleus of Buxton, Sano, Berrios, Kepler, Rosario, Garver, Polanco etc was a nice situation to build around, I don't know what to tell you. It seemed like a pretty good place to be. Certainly a lot better than our current situation. Maybe, but half of those guys have been regressing mightily in their primes. All of them except Berrios have failed spectacularly in big games. Something tells me they were fools gold. Half of them have been bad since the 2019 playoffs. We weren't winning that series even if we addressed our rotation at the deadline. It may have seemed like a good place to be at the time, it's not looking like that rn. How do you know the situation we're in is horrible? Do you predict we're going to see Kirilloff, Larnach, Duran, Balazovic, Celestino, Gordon etc regress in their primes as well?
  24. cHawk
    Either that or look at the coaching staff. He’s been really bad, particularly when in big spots.
  25. cHawk
    Either that or I’m starting to question the competence of Wes Johnson, because our pitchers can’t execute when it matters.
