    Julio Urias is the only player to trade with the Dodgers for Dozier. The ONLY player.

    A real yawner for me. Like this team needs more strikeouts. This is Drew Butera before he decided to hit last year, with a few more dingers. I hate pitch framing. Object, to cheat the game of the proper call. I guess the only thing that can fix that and the at least 15% wrong calls by our arrogant power tripping umpires is to use the technology to fix the biggest flaw in the game and have a consistent correct strike zone.

    Twins' fans have forgotten how to aim high. Trained themselves. Convinced themselves. Yuk. And not the funny yuk. Why folks think May will excell anywhere baffles me. Tonkin too. Some seem to think we are forever trapped and can't escape them, so they keep talking themselves into hoping. The staff needs replaced! Not retreaded. I like Hughes to the pen, though. Always have - especially to start each and every season. Aim high, Mr Falvey.

    No to another high school prospect. No no no. Coupled with having to decide if he is a position player or pitcher, this would spell trouble.

    Kintzler is fools gold. Be happy you got what you did out of him, but no way he is a closer. 6th and 7th innings... see if he can repeat success. Personally, I doubt it very much. Unlike with Jepsen, do not be fooled! Tonkin? NOOOOOOOOO. Perkins is cooked. This will not be limbo, it will be the end. Do not expect he will be of any value at all if he can return. Holland? Take a chance. Chargois? Take a chance. I bet Falvey remakes the bullpen. I sure hope so. Other than the young prospects, I don't care if they are all gone. They were so horrible.

    I must need rose colored glasses. Sure, one would like to drink the koolaid and ignore this year's future "stars", but what I saw with clear clean lenses was a .230s club that includes Sano, Kepler, and Vargas, and Buxton lucky to see the .220 club. Yeah yeah... better months and weeks here and there. Strikeout mania. Berrios massive fails. So they all need to be average before they are stars. Reality folks.

    Personally, I am really tired of high school players that get drafted high and take forever to help the Twins, if ever. College pitchers that are then made to be something they weren't in college is a close second. I hope the new FO drafts much better, and lets college sort some of the high school failures out, instead of the Twins farm system. I don't know what to say about high draft picks like Levi Michaels. The top five are going to need a lot of luck to make it, is my bet. The Twins need some stars, not just MLB average players or worse.

    That is the hope, eh? From what most predicted Sano would do this year (didn't you have a Sano prediction?) , it was a let down. Hey, plenty of room to improve, for the whole .230 club, which includes Sano, Kepler, Vargas, and Escobar, with Buxton knocking on the door in the .220 club. Remember, Arcia made the 20 homer club, and that was as exciting as it got. Yeah, I stick with Sano's season as most disappointing, with hopes he really decides to work on his craft and drop 20 pounds over the off season and really improve in 2017.
  9. h2oface
    Exactly. His averages: OPS, OPS+, BA, SLUG, and OBP for the year was virtually identical to 2015. Improved? Not so much. And even if you disregard the last two months...... not so much. In my world, the whole season's performance counts, though. You can vote the way you like. I will do the same.
  10. h2oface
    If you miss 1/3 of the season as a member of the Twins because you were traded and not a Twin...... Well, you can no longer be the most improved Twin because you are not a Twin. At least in my world.
  11. h2oface
    Dozier got the extra homer and RBI that he is not getting credit for. The rain. He needs an asterisk, and the rule needs to be changed to keep all individual stats from rainouts. To pretend that they didn't happen is cheating history.
  12. h2oface
    Dozier. One monthers Buxton and Vargas? Naaaaa. Plus Vargas got worse after his month. Buxton at least ended the year on the upswing. Most disappointing.... Sano.
  13. h2oface
    The worst. It is funny to read those in denial. Talent? When .230 hitters are called talent, fans have been numbed by futility.
  14. h2oface
    Funny! And clever. Make the new guy Falvey earn his cred.
  15. h2oface
    He can't run for president for a couple years..... Perhaps Francona will follow him? I was was thinking young.... but not necessarily robbing the cradle. I was thinking Baby Falvey for GM, but not POBO. Time will tell. Looking forward to something completely different.
  16. h2oface
    He wouldn't have made my staff out of Spring Training. If he can succeed elsewhere, good for him. No tears.
  17. h2oface
    McLeod would be my pick. The way I understand it, the new president is to chose the GM. If this Molitor obstacle is truly going to be pushed, it is only for a year by contract. The interviews, as it has been promoted, have no GM selection component. The new POBO needs to be the one making the selections down the ladder after he is hired.
  18. h2oface
    Looking like a push for the number one draft pick to me.
  19. h2oface
    Molitor is just as bad as Gardenhire about playing players out of position. It surely contributes to leading the league in errors. Molitor is lost.
  20. h2oface
    Just as actors play a defining role and get type cast.... to assume one can't adapt behavior to a different organization is a bit close minded.
  21. h2oface
    Hmmmmmmmmm. Said with confidence though, like they knew better.
  22. h2oface
    Terry Ryan always told us - and people who knew him personally testified he was the most honest person they knew - that there were no salary restrictions. It appears he just wouldn't spend the money he could have. Pohlad also confirmed that more than once. The TD meme of salary limitations could be clouded in opinion, and not fact. Time to have someone not afraid to push the limits that don't exist. Anthopalooza time!
  23. h2oface
    Those thirty-somethings think they know everything! Thinking R A Dickey could/would sustain was bold and all in. Misguided, but committed and brave. I say spend the money. If owners want to own a business that is all about the money, and making more glutinous amounts, don't do it with a baseball team. Owning a professional sports team - any sport - is about having fun AND TRYING TO WIN and giving back to the fans and home city, not necessarily making money! I say hire the Antho man. Anthopalooza time in the Twin Cities!
  24. h2oface
    Hey........ he is only 27! And posters call Park young. Beresford is just a baby! It is a nice thing, to give a guy an arguably meaningless September call up. Good for him. Sad for the fans that would rather be talking about meaningful baseball, but you have to have something to write about, I guess.
  25. h2oface
    Well, at least the first rounder Stewart got an honorable mention. All the pitchers on the lists since 2012, and none have become stars. And Gibson is getting Blackburn worse now too........ what a sad state of affairs from such a touted farm, eh?
