    There might be a buyer now, which was the point I suppose. We only have approx $90M committed to next year. Pohlads have $422M in debt on the Twins books. That's a problem, and we're paying for it sadly.

    I went to the top 25 prospects list traded yesterday and they have Rojas listed as the 6th best along with the 2 guys from the Phillies at #2 & #3. They obviously wanted this Rojas more than Louie.

    Shock & Awe 😮 At 5pm, somewhat rattled I say to myself, well... Looks like Louie is our new closer, and I got a little happy for him. I do love this article. great take and I agree. Pick a damn lane. The Louie thing was on my mind when I woke up. I hate this for Louie.

    Maybe we should start practicing with wiffle balls and plastic bats 🙃

    Interesting example of our deflated currency you have here. Baseball "Inflation" seems to be on par with everything else in our world. Let's take your example 1992 Orioles Box seats vs 2025 Orioles box seats. In 1992 you had to pay 0.39 ounces of Gold for a box seat. Today in 2025 it costs you only 0.28 ounces of Gold. Ticket prices in 1992 were actually MORE EXPENSIVE than they are today if measured in real money. The federal reserve notes we use are fake. It's why we're all working ourselves to death to survive. Inflation is a scam. They are stealing from us. Baseball is no more expensive than everything else compared to 1992 in federal reserve notes.

    That was fun! I also am a sicko 👍

    I like the Astro's news. There is no way to re-tool or re-build this team without shedding the $37M dollar player. Nothing against Correa, but we have no business having a $37M dollar player in my opinion.

    Yes. And how might one solve multiple problems with one decision? Leadership is always the issue. With proper leadership we'd better understand our real underlying problems. Right now, we aren't getting the most & best out of what we have. We uncover no hidden gems, we find no extra gears, we unlock no ones potential. Falvey hired a follower not a leader. Leaders have real time intuition and push the right buttons with players & in game circumstances. Leaders can just feel it and react. Teams like Milwaukee are a great example of getting the most & best out of their squad. We have more paper talent than Milwaukee.

    I think a lot of us are wondering what direction he's been given, or what permission he needs to seek, maybe different than in previous years when Pohlad wasn't trying to sell? I don't think anyone believes he will put his own self-interest above the team. Whatever trades he makes will be analyzed to death. He won't make himself look bad regardless of his future employment status in my opinion.
  10. In My La Z boy
    We have a Rocco problem, not a hitting coach problem.
  11. In My La Z boy
    We'll see if Falvey solves your dilemma by doing a blockbuster. You want Joe Ryan? You are taking Correa, AND we still want 2 top 100's. I'd bet the Yankees do it! In your face 😜 Now we can rebuild!
  12. In My La Z boy
    That was a great re-cap of present circumstances! I do hate to see Joe Ryan as the Athletics #1 available. If that happens we definitely had an unspoken "system wide failure" again... Let's see what happens I guess. Thanks!
  13. In My La Z boy
    God Bless Friend 🙏
  14. In My La Z boy
    Amen! No prospect and no amount of prospects can equal a stud #1 starter under team control for years. Prospects may or may not pan out. Joe has panned out spectacularly and he's on his way. Get Pablo and Ober back, w/Zebby looking awesome last night, I'm saying we have a chance. I am also not in favor of blowing up the bullpen for prospects.
  15. In My La Z boy
    I guess I am making the larger point about trading high quality major league talent for prospects. I'd rather be the team that trades prospects for high quality major league talent. Like the Sonny Gray for Chase Petty deal. We got what we thought we'd get out of Sonny. And the Reds are yet to reap the benefits. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.?Our maybe's haven't worked out under Falvey. Toronto has Berrios, and we haven't reaped the benefits, Pressly went on to be Pressly, and we got prospects who didn't pan out. Jax, Duran and Ryan are proven studs. Don't trade them for magic beans Falvey can't turn into studs. That's all I was getting at.
  16. In My La Z boy
    I would hope Falvey would see things we don't see. There are 3 kids in AAA that should be playing instead of the 3 expiring vet contracts we have now in Bader, Castro and France. I'd start there. We were fixated on Kirilloff because we get fixated on Lefty's. Kirilloff is why they let Rooker go. Wrong choice. And given we had Larnach and Wallner coming that always made no sense to me. How many Left-handed corner outfielders do you need?
  17. In My La Z boy
    Falvey hires and sets the organizational development team. They work for him, at his direction and do his bidding. What he wants, and the direction for each player drafted. Sorry, I am a boss, and every manager that works for me gets specific direction to establish with each employee. Ultimately it is on me when individual team members don't perform. Development is downstream from drafting, there are layers in-between, and every layer reports to Falvey.
  18. In My La Z boy
    You changed my mind on this the other day and you are correct.
  19. In My La Z boy
    Not narrow at all. You draft and develop. Falvey neither drafted or developed Buxton. Falvey hasn't developed anyone into anything...yet. Maybe Keaschall, Maybe Wallner, Maybe Larnach, but none of them yet. Lewis hasn't completed a season yet, not even one season of him. That's not development. I'm suggesting if Falvey trades Jax or Duran for top 100 prospects, where is there any proof he knows how to develop that talent into a major league star?
  20. In My La Z boy
    Not your best effort Cory. When healthy doesn't count. Keaschall hasn't got a cup of coffee yet. Got nothing on Wallner yet. Buxton's not Falvey's. Tell me a non-pitching draft pick of Falvey's he's developed into something at Target Field for even one full season? Jeffers maybe the only one? I can't think of another quality bat?
  21. In My La Z boy
    We're not developing hitters Cory. Falvey can't seem to make it happen. I'd love 2 top 100's for Jax, but can we develop them?
  22. In My La Z boy
    Thank you. My sentiments exactly. We already have the 2015 Royals bullpen. That was a critical component of their WS title team. Don't wreck the best area of the squad trying to fix the other areas, especially for prospects. Especially when both Jax & Duran are still controlled for 2 more years. Will we get less for them in December than today, probably not. No hurry here, no panic selling please.
  23. In My La Z boy
    The dead horse pile to kick keeps getting bigger sadly. Imagine giving LF to Rooker a few years ago and just putting up with his learning curve? Why we sign Vets to one year deals (as though we're going to be competitive) instead of giving our kids a chance? This years signings were better than the last 2 albeit. Trade all 3, Castro, Bader & France and let some kids play who will still be here next year. We'll get a whole lot more for those 3 than for Julien, Miranda and Martin.
  24. In My La Z boy
    I'll never forget the Royals 2015 formula. 3 lock down studs in the bullpen was crucial in that WS run. We still have 2 more years to run with these guys. No panic selling please.
  25. In My La Z boy
    It's ridiculous. Athletes are creatures of habit. Athletes are creatures of routine. Rhythm & Momentum are everything. Look how easily a team can rattle off 10 wins in a row and then the same team can lose 10 games in a row. That's the mystery of momentum.
