    I've been wondering what Buxton's opinion is of this hire? I'm also wondering/hoping Byron is the source with the inside scoop on which teammates are the negative influencers? Whatever team we're left with next spring, it will be built around Buxton.

    Larnach if we keep him might be the plan? This looks to be the off-season we don't repeat the same mistakes, and make a different mistake by signing no one. We've gone BIG, we've picked from the bin, I think this is the year we go with the kids. Maybe we pick up a Taylor Rogers and/or a Caleb Theilbar if anything?

    Thanks! I enjoyed this comment. I am an optimist. It helps my days go better.

    Safe not Sexy. Shelton is an excellent coach and will handle the real time in-game decisions much better than Rocco in my opinion. We also needed a "company" man to suffer through some rebuilding. Again, safe, not sexy. It's a start. We'll see what player moves we make.

    I'm here for the comments. Skimmed the article to get to your reaction. Mostly looking for who our new manager is, and will always default to the latest article to skim to get to the comments 👍

    Amen. I could get excited about James Rowson leading this young clubhouse.

    I remember coming away from the Brewers series home and away thinking they were the most exciting team I watched us play all year. I remember wishing we could be a team like this. Reminded me of the early 2000 teams. Fun to watch, and 2006 was our year. We could have gone all the way. Don't recall our place in the payroll standings that year, but it can be done. Strong team identity is a must as Doc points out. Under Falvey's leadership we haven't had a consistent identity. Bomba squad to this. Who are we? Teams like Cleveland, Milwaukee Tampa Bay are pretty good to very good most years. I do want to be like that, pretty good to very good most years. Why not us?

    Falvey might only have another year left. He'd be wise to hire an excellent clubhouse and field manager, give him some talent, and stay in the press box and watch. I like Suzuki.

    As of today we're projected to have the #2 farm system in all of baseball. This seems to be our greatest asset. How will we utilize this greatest asset will be the question? Will ownership allow us to keep what we currently have in Lopez Ryan Ober & Jeffers ($44.5M) - will Falvey play the hot prospects coming, or do we have room now to trade prospects to fill holes and try and compete? Who manages this team, and who can get the most out of the prospects? Lots of questions?

    This sets up the hiring of either Gardenhire or Dinkelman, whichever Falvey likes better is my guess. Either one would jump at the chance, and either one will be at minimum manager wages. It worked in late '86. No one knew the prospects better, and no one knew better how to get the best out of them than Tom Kelly, and he did.

    Going on 34 years of short term pain since 1991 Seems like long term pain, but I am much older than young grandson Pohlad. Was he alive in 1991?

    100% agree! I observe and surmise Mr Falvey is a narcissist control freak perhaps? Leaders need to surround themselves with great people, and then delegate authority. Narcissists surround themselves with yes men. They want no threats to their authority. I always thought it strange how Wes Johnson left. I thought it was a bad sign when Thad Levine left, and I always felt like Rocco was Falvey's puppet.

    We have a similar scenario here as we did in 1986. It wouldn't surprise me if they give the job to Toby, or Dinkleman. I like both.

    Great rundown of the problems, but don't overlook this. Rocco was the largest problem once the game began. I agree 100% with your vast list of culprits, and that **** rolls downhill, and Rocco is at the bottom of the hill, but his in game intuitive management skills were lacking to be kind. He had a way of usually NOT pushing the right buttons. Step 1. Now we'll see what happens next.
