    IDK, but Alcala may need more time in the minors. He’s been getting shelled pretty frequently.
  2. cHawk
    Ober should. Dobnak and Jax should not

    The current FO hasn't shown much ability to find top of the rotation starters. Does Duran not count? They had a nucleus of top 100 prospects to build around. The Twins were coming off a total system failure season, with 90+ loss seasons in 5 of the past 6 years. Guys like Kepler, Sano, Polanco, and Rosario weren't "prospects" when they arrived. None of them were that good in the majors (outside of 2019). They are a fault of the previous regime. Outside of those four, Berrios, and Buxton, I don't see what "prospects" you're referring to that weren't in the minors and a few years away. More worrisome, they might not think they have to b/c they might just think baseball will evolve into 4-5 pitchers per game snoozefests. It's not just the Twins that do this. A lot of other teams do it. There's nothing inherently wrong with 4-5 pitchers per game if you do it right. They didn't do it right the past year, the offseason wasn't good, but one bad offseason isn't a fireable offense.

    great situation? WHAT? Why is their pitching pipeline "not likely to work out?" This is Year 4 of their development. The pipeline should start to pump this year. What do you see in their development that says that it "won't work out?"
  5. cHawk
    They should extend Berrios and Buxton. As for the pipeline, 2020 was a lost year. So technically this will be Year 4 of development. I’ll give them more time.

    Unless it’s obviously flagrant, no.

    My OCD doesn't like MadBum as an example.

    Payroll should be higher next year. Hopefully $160M-170M.

    That run is looking more and more like a fluke by the day. The Indians haven’t been anywhere close to the WS since then, they’ve even lost 8 straight playoff games.
  10. cHawk
    Cleveland can’t win in the playoffs, though. That’s because they don’t invest anything into their lineup.
  11. cHawk
    I like your idea, but: Donaldson has good qualities but one thing he isn’t is a quality pitcher. Are you saying we should invest nothing into the lineup? Should we not pay for elite/good hitters, instead build it out of scraps, outcasts, and projects? As they say, you get what you pay for, and the Twins would have a crap lineup. It would get exposed badly in big games. We’ll need to put considerable investment into everything if we want to be a true World Series contender. I agree that it should be priority to build a rotation of 4-5 quality starters and bullpen with 3+ studs. Thankfully, we have a farm system, so some of those roles can be filled. We should see Ober and Duran in the rotation next year.
  12. cHawk
    Question: Could we see Edwar Colina in next year’s pen?
  13. cHawk
    I disagree, I would like to see the Twins go after one of the top-end SSs on the market.
  14. cHawk
    Those are areas of criticism. Quite frankly, I agree. Criticizing them and calling them incompetent are two different things with no connection whatsoever. I can see where you’re going with Levine. As for Falvey, let’s see how the next wave of prospects does.
  15. cHawk
    They are responsible for some of the players already on the roster, that's true. But we can't conclude anything about their ability until we see all of Duran, Balazovic, Celestino, Kirilloff, Larnach, Lewis, Jeffers, Ober, Jax, Gordon, Colina, etc. Bottom line, the original statement that the FO is incompetent is flat out ridiculous.
  16. cHawk
    Why? We haven't actually seen any of the prospects that THEY have drafted yet. Because of that, we can't determine their ability to draft and develop players. Why are they a "disaster?" Seems like a massive overreaction to one bad year.
  17. cHawk
    You could probably include just about every pitcher on the major league roster.
  18. cHawk
    I quite frankly don’t either
  19. cHawk
    DISCLAIMER: I am not taking any shots against the intelligence, character, or competence of either Derek Falvey or Thad Levine I’ve heard some talk about how this team needs a change in FO. Is this talk for real? If it’s not then I apologize. TBH I don’t really have an opinion on this. They’ve done good things and bad things, and I can’t really see if there’s a major difference.
  20. cHawk
    You aren't helping anything.
  21. cHawk
    To me, Happ has (by far) been the worst as of late. His stuff, to me, looks the worst and he hasn't had a good start in a while.
  22. cHawk
    Maybe it’s blatant tanking, which, who knows, might be the best for this club.
  23. cHawk
    Shoemaker is our Mike Glennon

    The title is, “The Baldelli narratives need to die.” That has nothing to do with the FO. Is the FO always the topic in everything? Because then if we’re talking about how to pop balloons then the FO is still the topic!
