  1. This team, as constructed, is not good enough.(and will never be without a complete rebuild) I don't think it's a freefall, but a slow, painful death. Trade away veteran assets and rebuild.
  2. I think Rocco has proven to me he can't handle a pitching staff(If he is really making these decisions). I think he is a puppet for the FO.
  3. I would get as much value from the vets as possible(including Correa). Fill up the farm system, and start over. Tired of seeing the same guys do the same thing over and over(Sano, Kepler, Buxton and his injuries, could care less about Urshela and Sanchez) Be a seller and start over. Last night was the last straw for me regarding this group of players. Take Correa off this team and we are in the same boat as last season. If I was Correa I would get out of here as fast as possible. The sooner they fall out of contention the better. And yes, I am a Twins fan, but I don't have to like this team. Lucky win today.
  4. Sell, don't like this team, don't like watching them. I do not trust that they will continue to win. I say gut it, and start over. Lucky win today. Should have been swept.
  5. Racism exists everywhere sadly. Donaldson is an idiot for playing into Anderson's comment. It shows his lack of understanding regarding the issue. I would have just said, "we are beating you ass today". And Anderson calling himself a modern day Jackie Robinson.....LOL What the hell does that even mean?
  6. Donaldson is a dick and Anderson is a a dumbass. No one in today's game should EVER compare himself to Jackie Robinson. And no one should give Anderson what he wants by responding to his drivel.(which is exactly what Donaldson did)What a couple of losers. Screw them both. Put them in a cage and let them eat each other.
  7. Kiriloff will grow to be a solid(not great LF) Much better than Larnach
  8. Lets hope they can find a way to seal a deal
  9. I was wrong about the FO being stupid. Urshela is a good 3rd baseman, Correa is a stud, and so is Polanco. I think Sano will be better this season. Jeffers is improving and we have good depth with Sanchez, Miranda, Lewis, Gordon & Arraez. I think the infield is in REALLY good shape. Buxton, Kepler, and Kiriloff could be really good offensively and overall, above avg defensively. Depth is not as good as the infield with Celestino & Larnach of course, but perhaps Lewis or Gordon could also serve in back-up roles. The bullpen was pretty darn good by the end of last season, and I think with all the options available, we find enough pieces to have at worst, an average to slightly above avg bullpen. We need one more really good starting pitcher, and have enough quality prospects, and enough MLB depth to make a trade to get one more high quality SP. I don't think the FO has come this far not make a deal for that final piece...one more quality starter. The team is not perfect, but other than the Dodgers, who is? This, with one more top starter, is a 90+ if healthy.
  10. and at this point great defense too,,,LOL
  11. The problem the FO has is their plan is predicated on top free agents signing for fewer years or less money. Yeah, right. And by the way, I hate Gary Sanchez more than just about any other player in MLB, and now he is on the Twins. I am going to have a hard time rooting for him. In fact, if he starts poorly, I will root against him and hope he fails until we dump him. Bigger picture, there just has to be more than this. If not, why did we bother trading for Gray or extending Buxton? For the first time, I am wondering if the FO is just stupid.
  12. This is all about the highest paid players, and highest revenue teams. Period. They don't care about any level of competitiveness. Just effing greed. They all suck, and I will never pay to attend a baseball game ever again.(I haven't for years) I'll follow like I have the past few seasons. I hope eventually the league is damaged severely in some way. I say threaten to fold a half dozen teams, and lets see what happens...LOL
  13. He still has alot to prove, but not tonight. Nothing to be gained by extending him.
  14. If he still had a no no I would send him back out. However, I don't think he has any more to prove tonight.
  15. There is not s snowball's chance in hell Gant, Albers or Barnes is in the rotation next year. Ober is already proven himself, so he is one. Jax has shown moments, we'll see. Ryan appears to be the real deal too. Gant is a good bullpen piece, I feel like that has proven out after a few starts. The FO will spend some money on Free agents. Dobnak will probably have one last chance next season to prove himself. Other than Ryan, we haven't even discussed the other top pitching prospects. I am far more optimistic than you are. Ohh, and with Kriloff, Larnach, Buxton(stay healthy please),the other top prosepects and returning players, the offense will not be depleted., in any way. I expect guys like Jeffers will continue to improve. Since Sano's terrible start, he has actually been pretty decent. I would have never expectedhim to get the avg up to .220. He is hitting over .250 since the start of June. The offense has been decent even after the trade, despite all the injuries. In my opinion, we are in better shape going into next season than many believe.
  16. Yes, but think of how many extra pitches he had to throw due to the ****ty defense.
  17. Don't believe any of this is on Jax. Worst defense in MLB.
  18. How many mlb teams would pay Berrios $30 million per? I know it only takes one, but it surely is less than 5(maybe only the Dodgers). There are so many horrible contracts in baseball. Look at the top 30 paid pitchers in baseball. How many of those contracts are are just God awful, ridiculous? I counted at least half, if not a bit more.
  19. LOL..good one. Almost every player in MLB history was in the minors at some point. Almost 100% were not guarantees. Apparently you do not like the way the game/business is structured. Based on what you are saying teams should never bring up players from the minors, since we don't know how they will perform. And, just about every player that comes up for the first time(some times multiple times) has some struggles. That last statement is down right silly, honestly...LOL
  20. B+ I think they traded away the guy the knew they couldn't sign. They also got return for two of the horrible free agent signings. And, two good prospect arms for Cruz. We also save money for free agency in 2022 since we don't have to go through arb with Berrios. The pipeline is now full of good arms. I am optimistic about the future, maybe even 2022 as long as the FO does a better job with free agents. Still a decent remaining group of of vets, and a very good core of young position players. Time will tell if the gaps can be filled properly.
  21. You could be every bit as wrong as my take on the situation. You have NO IDEA, NONE. Making alot of assumptions, all negative. Ohh and the team I love and follow has never been about ONE player. If that's the case, become a Blue Jays fan. In essence, that is what you are saying. Berrios is more important than the rest of the team. He is an above average starting pitcher, he is not Johan Santana, not even close.
  22. This is how the game/business works. Teams do this all the time, every year. How do you think Cubs and Nationals fans feel today? Two teams with recent world series rings, better records than the Twins, dismantling their teams, more than the Twins did. Unless you are teams like the Dodgers, you have to live with this. Look at how bad the Astros were for so long. The Padres, The Rays, Royals, etc...I could go on. How did those teams rebuild? The same way the Twins are. Will it work? Maybe, but holding on to players in order to win a few more games in a lost season, just to satisfy a few fans is not the formula that will work for an organization like the Twins. Unless ownership decides to carry a 220 million payroll. As far as wishful thinking goes, this isn't the NBA, where one or two players wins anything. Ask the Angels, who have had the best player in baseball for years.
