    Many could do the job. Getting the job is as much luck as it is skill, many times. The ones commenting..... many are lifelong Twins' fans. They really do care. Even when Falvey and Levine....... visitors here, blow up the team for hope of fame and glory. Yes, they are paid. But $ is the only thing making them love the Twins right now. Total Visitors. They will leave at one point, when they are done playing fantasy baseball with the Twins and they have failed so badly that they can't get another similar job, or even if they will have succeeded for a spell and leave for more money, and not care a bit about our team as they move on.

    Not too unusual, especially if Baldelli is managing for this FO. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2019/1/30/18202907/starting-catchers-disappearing-realmuto-posey-molina-grandal-red-sox-royals-marlins-diamondbacks

    What catchers? The only guy that is probably happy is Jeffers. But ST needs like 7 catchers. Are you ready to start seeing Sano and Sanchez start their quest for record strikeouts?
  4. h2oface
    Miranda: 30 homers and 32 doubles is a 55? I don't get it.
  5. h2oface
    Seriously. We got NOTHING for Garver! And now can't, no matter how you try to twist it..
  6. h2oface
    Fun? How about #5? Falvey has no clue, and he admits it. ""I expect to take advantage of it for sure," Falvey said. "Exactly how that plays out, short term, long term, medium term, I don't know. Obviously, it clears a lot off next year as well. ... We're going to have to roll with the punches a little bit and figure out what we can add over the next few weeks leading into Opening Day." 5 years and still trading for pitching........ because none are ready from the farm.........................

    "The addition of Sonny Gray is enough to convince even the most skeptical fan that the Twins are looking to compete in 2022." I, for one, do not expect a lot out of a fading Gray. He is a starting pitcher, though. A dreaded "innings eater" at this point. Hope the team hits when he is on the mound. And then there was the trade with the Yankees......... even less convinced.

    Everyone wants an excuse, for sure. Except Yadi.
  9. h2oface
    that was a quote...... not my link. it was glunn's. But they did get Gray, who is not a stud in my opinion, just a fading filler that costs too much. But he is something.
  10. h2oface
    It was only worth one stat, and Nick Nelson had recently posted it, and was quick to add. Bad assumption. It still isn't worth it to me for you. We already had Garver. Argue with someone else if that is your thing. I just had rv78's back in defense of your incompletish quote and disparaging crack pipe comment.
  11. h2oface
    Familiar with the reasoning. I don't buy it will make a difference. This change is just dumb and unnecessary.
  12. h2oface
    He said arguably.... "Nick Nelson @NickNelsonMN Top MLB catchers in wOBA since 2019 (min 500 PA): 1. Will Smith 2. Mitch Garver 3. Yasmani Grandal Garver isn't just a "good hitter," he's one of the biggest difference-making bats in the league."
  13. h2oface
    .... because..... who needs pitching, anyway.
  14. h2oface
    And Garver will be hittng 40 dingers for Texas.
  15. h2oface
    "His 96 OPS+ basically was league average, however, and he’s just 30-years-old. He’s not the defensive stalwart Donaldson is at the hot corner, but he’s hardly a butcher either." Just 30. Inference that Ushela is youngish, but many were considering Garver over the hill at just turned 31. Hmmmmm.
  16. h2oface
    Statements like this are just irresponsible. No ........ not even close to everyone. Speak for yourself, please. Not everyone.
  17. h2oface
    Garver wasted for Sanchez. A worse hitter and a worse fielder. A Yankee with a bad attitude. Still no stud pitching, and no improvement. Gray is fading and fast. Just a place holder that gets paid too much. Falvey and Levine are Visitors playing fantasy baseball with our team. They think they are so smart, but took a 100+ win team and tanked them last year.. Visitors leaving a horrible ring in the tub. Billionaires don't really need a budget when it comes to their hobby of owning a baseball team. Just ask Steve Cohen and the Mets. He is having fun. And we have jokers playing fantasy baseball with our team.

    93ish. On the slide down. Definitely on the decline. And people are happy he is now our best pitcher. Normalized mediocrity and being touted as the anchor of the rotation. And it makes some fans happy. Mediocre starter and mediocre new shortstop. Another place holder. Pineda would be too, and still out of shape. Whoopee. A fanbase totally programmed to accept less. Apparently, if high velocity is your calling card, it is a grate(rol) way to be traded by this FO.
  19. h2oface
    ?? just not for the Twins when it comes to stud pitchers. I had to laugh at the article about of Colome on MLB Trade Rumors. At least we don't have to see him on the team. Respectable my arse. "Colome is coming off something of an unusual season that saw him post a respectable 4.15 ERA over 65 innings with the Twins, despite a swath of unfavorable Statcast metrics. While Colome’s bottom-line numbers have generally been much better than his advanced metrics over his career, Minnesota still declined its end of a $5.5MM mutual option on Colome’s services for 2022, instead buying the reliever out for $1.25MM."

    Someone correct me if I am wrong here, but WAR is a cummulative stat. Sooooo.... using your figures, Falafel has 1360 innings and 2.3 total WAR, That is 5.76 times more innings than the 236 innings you state for Polanco. If he is consistent for the other 1124 innings to match K-F's innings...... he would total (1.1 WAR x 5.76 = 6.34) 6.34 WAR in 1360 innings compared to 2.3 for K-F.

    And now, for the 3rd thread on the subject...........
  22. h2oface
    1 year and 55 days past his 30th birthday. Your definition of well past 30 is much different than mine. More like barely past 30. Especially if you consider that 56 days ago he was still 30 if asked how old he is. Yadier Molina agrees I bet. Falafel is 27 in 11 days. Basically 4 years difference, but one is young and one is old. Go figure. K-F only has two years left on his contract. I guess that means to this FO that he has to be traded (ala Berrios and Pressly) by the trade deadline of this year..... so trading Garver for 3 months of Twindom.
  23. h2oface
    ???? So we know management will only play the #1 catcher 60% of the time anyway. That would be a max of 230 games of the 384. He played in 184. So he missed 46 net, or only 20% of the games he would have been allowed to play in. I can't ignore that fact, either. Jeffers had a Danny (Santana and Valencia) first partial year, and has bombed otherwise at the plate. And in AAA when demoted again last year. Rortvedt, in years, has not found an acceptable presense at the plate. Remember the preceived trading from strength of the centerfielders Span and Revere, and how that worked out? Fans and FO and even TD prospect predictions have always dissed Garver. And all he does is get better, and if injured, get healed and get back. Behind the plate and at bat, Garver is the Rodney Dangerfield of Twins' catchers. He never gets the respect he deserves. There is a reason no one wanted Jeffers......

    I now officially hate this FO. First Berrios, now Garver. And still no pitching. Get rid of Escobar, Get rid of Pressly. Anderson. Littell. Graterol. May. Rosario. Wade. Baddoo. Sign Happ, Shoemaker, Colome, Rodney, Robles, Dobnak, Bailey, Perez, Parker, Dyson, Reed, Barraclough, Belisle, Cave. And that is just off the top of my head. I hate this Front Office. Visitors. I hate them.
  25. h2oface
    It's been over 24 hours.... how many stud pitchers have the FO signed so far?!
