    Smart kid and a coaches kid. I like his prospects a lot. This is the type of player that figures things out. If Culpepper's raw athleticism overtakes him at SS, he'll be a great 2B. Keaschall is destined for somewhere else when his arm is back to full strength anyway.

    And Miranda. I thought we'd locked up 2 future Twins position players. For whatever reason some guys are just AAAA - rip it up in AAA, but can't figure out the big league. I like Conner Prielipp's chances to help us. Hope to see a bit of him yet this year. Of our top 10, Abel probably helps us the soonest and will get starts in September in my opinion.

    "Meanwhile Correa will slot back just fine into a perpetual winning culture that he helped build" This starts at the Pohlad position and flows downward. I believe Falvey understands his job, and that is to manage the pendulum swings. You go for it when your "window" opens, and you manage the strategic decline when the "window" closes. That is no way to instill a perpetual winning culture. So then we get a field manager who knows from the get go there will be some years, or span of years where we'll be rebuilding and won't be competitive. So Rocco manages from this perpetual mindset, which feels like apathy all too often. Does Rocco care, of course...but if the everyday, always, overriding goal isn't to win now, this inning, this play, then you get what appears to be apathy.

    Why doesn't MLB fix this competitive problem? In other pro league's we have a salary cap, and we have a salary floor. MLB has a minimum for individual players, why not for a whole team? This competitive disfunction with some teams well over $300M and some teams well under $100M is ridiculous. I blame Manfred and MLB for allowing this.

    Could be. Hope not. The appreciation ride is a long one. Carl never got to taste the fruits of it, but ya, he gave us 2 world series titles and tried to field a competitive team for the most part. Nowadays these small market owners only try and be competitive occasionally with long gaps of rebuilding and ******** speak 👍

    Every year my hope is we'll be the ones who beat the odds like this years Brewers. In the spring no one thought much of Milwaukee. Every single year there is a "Brewers" - the little choo choo train that makes it up the hill. Our current squad could be this squad next year. Why not? Go back 4 months and read about all the "why nots" about the 2025 Brewers. But just look at them play 😀

    You're killing me 🤣 I am old and want to win again before its over. 1991 was a long time ago.

    Yes but apparently whatever revenue is guaranteed every year coupled with our revenues are has left us with a $422M dollar debt. This cost cutting strategy has us under water. Time to try something new??? Field a great team maybe???

    I'm simply suggesting we field a better team with him. Not really an argument. If we have a good team we make more money. I suggest the good teams make more than the bad teams. This is not an outrageous argument. Put a winner on the field and the fans will support them. We stand a better chance of being better with him. Can we be even better in 4 years without him and the prospects he brings? I don't care.

    The Brewers are on pace to attract 1 Million more fans to the ballpark than we are. As of today they have us by 700,000. New minority owners should understand a better product on the field is how you make money. Joe Ryan will more than pay for himself. Trading him for some future magic beans is a loser in the money making department in my opinion.
  11. In My La Z boy
    Ha! A prudent investor would see he brings about $25M in value for about $10M in arb costs. Ryan should be a +$15M player in these next 2 years. No doubt you could get a haul for him at the 2026 deadline if we stink up the world next season.

    If you are not a fan of Falvey than you shouldn't advocate for him receiving more "prospects" to NOT develop for an already stud pitcher like Joe Ryan. This was the point of my comments. We agree. And we aren't the White Sox. In the spring of 2026 we will have a top caliber starting staff, and every draft pick Falvey's had in the field. Lee, Royce, Keaschall, Larnach, Wallner - we have an awesome CF & C in Bux & Jeffers. This is not a White Sox caliber team here. We might be playing like one, but I won't start on Rocco.

    A #1 starter is the most valuable asset on a baseball team. Very few teams have one. There are maybe 20 pitchers in the entire league you'd "classify" as a #1. Joe might be one, probably is one. A #1 starter, with 2 more years of control is what every team wants. On my team, everyone is always available for the right price EXCEPT whoever I think is a #1 starter, or who could become a #1 starter.

    Question: What is the best possible return could you hope for in trading Joe Ryan? Answer: Another Joe Ryan Question: Then why trade Joe Ryan? Answer:

    It was a shame we wasted Buxton's best season. I have hope Byron will rattle off 3 more years like this one. If he does we'll be competitive. The chances we'll have a well-above avg starting 5 next year are quite high and I have a lot of hope there. If our kids develop, which is always a BIG IF, we stand a decent chance to compete, and IF we're right there after next years all-star game we'll have a deep minor league system to trade from to bolster the squad. Best hope we could receive would be a new owner this winter.
  16. In My La Z boy
    I with you. He has a lot to prove with that last name. He has a good instinct for the game. He hustles, and he's been clutch. You can't coach clutch.

    The one un-stupid thing about it was the Twins effort to take back $40M in salary instead of giving the Astro's a $33M discount on Correa, meaning we would have got Walker for $7M, which was never going to happen. Ok, stupid article I guess.
  18. In My La Z boy
    Looks like those 2 kids in Wichita Jenkins & Culpepper might break through by next year. 2 #1 draft picks tearing up AA. Add them to your 40 man equation, and Rosario down there is also a star in the making. By next spring we might just have the best crop of kids in the system as any team out there. I think Buxton's gonna like this team next year. Great looking crop of starters, and a lot of talented youth. Keaschall looks like a star along with Wallner, Lewis & Jeffers. Love Lee but Culpepper is coming fast, and can Clemons really be this clutch and possibly this useful to us? What a gift that would be! I am old but there is hope. It was good to win last night!
  19. In My La Z boy
    Bingo 🎯 No point in having a world class bullpen on this team. Falvey did the right thing, although Rojas had better pan out if Falvey plans to still be here in a couple of years, which I doubt he thinks he will be. I do think he believes these trades will be vindicated down the road.
  20. In My La Z boy
    And Julien fields the ball last night on a rocket to his left and in almost a slow motion full circle glove pat and spin can't get the ball to Clemons in time and the runner beats the 10 foot throw. Meanwhile Martin is hustling all over the field. Give me 9 Martins and No Juliens please.
  21. In My La Z boy
    We just have soooo many left handed hitting corner outfielders 🙃
  22. In My La Z boy
    I sort of wonder if this was the direction given by some prospective owner? If you do this, we'll buy the team for this...
  23. In My La Z boy
    For me it's not what he says, it's how he says what he says. My old man lived in Ft Myers and went to every spring practice and game in the late 90's. Terry Ryan used to come down and sit with him and his old man friends and just hang out and talk baseball. I don't imagine Derek Falvey does anything such thing as this.
  24. In My La Z boy
    Thanks! Terry Ryan was down to earth and a decent human. Derek Falvey is much more important than me or you. I was hoping for some empathy and contrition. Felt bad for Joe last night. Julien fumbles the double-play chance right away w/Joe knowing he has no closers. Sadly Joe probably wished he was taking the mound for the Dodgers last night.
  25. In My La Z boy
    The sale of the team is the paramount concern obviously. You have to believe Falvey was instructed to do this, and sadly, reports out of Houston seem to indicate Correa & Altuve cooked the Houston trade up. I think its good riddance Correa for working the phones and angling his way out of here and back to there. Must have been some bad team karma going around that clubhouse when your supposed leader is trying to get out. We still have a starting staff and an everyday lineup. Who needs a bullpen and a bench 🙃 Let's play the kids!
