Pitching staff is limited to 13 until September 1

Wow, way to ignore what he said about Ryan, what Mahle’s record was before the trade annd very little was given up to get him, and that DeScaffini was a throw in to get Gonzales who was a top 100 prospect at that time.. Just totally ignore.
-
Short version they have one player with a core OPS, Buxton. They need 3 more, Wallner is capable of doing that but has not played a full major league season yet. Keaschall is capable of being number 3 core guy. Number 4 would be late in the season Gonzales as he adjusts or Jenkins if he progresses. The real fourth is if they moved Jefferson to 1b full time. They have players who might be solid players but not have done it consistently, That would be Lewis and Martin. Then there is the development is not linear but I hope it is not done yet with Lee Julian and Larnach. The team needs 2 catchers and a backup shortstop and a closer or two. Look for any and every rebound candidate for the closer job to be brought in. If the reliever wants a closer paycheck, they pretty much need to be a closer. The Twins give opportunity.

Third effing time this site has reloaded and wiped out what I typed..

There are opinions out there that they don’t want to contend. If that were the case Ryan would have been traded to Boston for whatever they wanted to give the Twins at the last trade deadline , The report from other sources was the Twins wanted one of Duran or other corner outfielders, a top prospect and another prospect. That is not trading to not contend the next year
-
There is a very prolifically posting group of people who see things in a negative light. At the trade deadline and again this off season, Falvey has said the only way Ryan is traded is if they were blown away.
-
If Falvey was running the drafty there would be no need to have the Johnsons. They follow the principles of what he is looking for in players. Yup, the Rooker career paths are rare. If I hadn’t mentioned Rooker somebody would Have done the what about Rooker. Instead I get the Rooker are rare comment. Rooker did not get. Consistency out of his time in SD, or KC. What the last two hitting coaches have said about their approach to hitting is in the exact opposite there is a “Falvey approach” to.hitting

The course of action with free agents could be one year contracts. Of course the club is going to asses when the prospects will be ready. If the prospect is deemed ready now, the course would be to not sign the free agent. If the course of prospect development is probable midseason, a free agent on a one year deal still could be signed.and become trade bait. Of course no development will happen with the Twins prospects at OF 1b/3b and SS. That thought is as coarse as 40 grit sandpaper

Sano wasn’t the same after the meniscus tear. Like Miranda after the beaning, people forget the injuries or minimize them or the effects.

Any thought that maybe it is the players? Who have they drafted or signed as an amateur that made it to the majors has made a success out of themselves after leaving her besides Rooker. Helman had 38 good games. Mabe it is the drafting

Axe grinding brings clicks. Some of the people here that were more journalistic now do podcast.

I have had many 2 faced managers

Bloggers as a source of information is like trusting the National Enquirer’s story on the three headed lady
-
I don’t think they have lost anyone since Wells and Baddoo. Wells in 5 years has had 50 starts and 50 relief appearances. Baddoo had 1 great half season in 5 years. I don’t think they have been missed

Laweryson getting cut was a head scratcher. Miranda making mental mistakes in the field was likely the culprit for his being cut. There is usually a belief you can fix the swing when the batter’s eye is good. That is why the took on Outman and Roden. They have had success in the minors
-
No to both. How many years in a row has May been injured. I sincerely doubt anyone is going to pay him a 2 year contract. Rhys has a great history. The ACL made him even slower

They must be working on trades for the hitters

Do you not understand when talking about fall guys when I say they got it right with Smith, that I am saying yes he should have been fired?
-
When he talked of communication I can only think that it involves what he tells players to do and them not completely doing it. He sees that he might have to be a lot more forceful. That is a change in culture
-
Gosh, is this the same Shelty as Nick Heard? Seems so different. Attention to details, teamwork, aggressiveness are all personality traits. It might be interesting to see who is gone after the first year. Some players will have to change the personality ot have their team changed
-
It makes no sense to hire a one year 1b unless the team is tanking and they want prospect bait or the player is good enough to contribute to a winner. For the latter scenario it also means the management has figured out a closer and 2 setup relievers. Maybe Zoll will have better luck than Levine did in picking up relievers that cost more than the minimum In case you all blocked the horror out of your memory bank Levine brought in Reed, Colome, and Paganto be closers.

Yup, Teng, Berroa, and Davis ended up to be big stars.

He pitched well after the trade deadline. Can he pitch better than that? Doubtful Then again, I only said effective, not better.
-
He can possibly still pitch effectively until he is 40. Many have
