This is a bad defensive team who isn't an elite strikeout team. It's also virtually the same offense that finished 17th in OPS and that was with Buxton playing out of his mind and healthy all year. And with two guys who helped raise that OPS who aren't here anymore (Bader and Castro).- 69 replies

Best case scenario? The regular 9 are so bad that any futility by the bullpen is largely meaningless.

Prank calling a SP agent is worth 5 WAR minimum.

Is there a TD badge for "worst math ever"? I've got a post I'd like to nominate.....

If you gave up on Game of Thrones because the last season was trash and House of the Dragon was Mega Trash....fear not: Knight of the Seven Kingdoms kicks some serious butt. Check it out.

They were especially unfunny this year, agreed.

I seriously don't understand how you so badly mistyped "Drive a dump truck full of cash to his house and offer to put him in the Wilf will"

I'm not sure you should count on a running back that can catch the ball either. Given KOC's preferred passing game, we pretty much have no choice but to have a RB that can pass protect rather than be a weapon out of the backfield in the way you frame here. I'm not a huge fan of Price. He's fast, I like him as a change of pace guy. If you could tell me we get him in the 3rd I might be more interested but he was basically taken off the field on passing downs last year. He had 3 fumbles in 113 carries. I like that there is less tread on the tires as being the 2nd guy there, but I don't see enough to take him in the 2nd. I think the guy that fits us best is probably Trey Holly. Problem is character concerns there. It's honestly just not a good year to go RB hunting in the draft IMO. Last year....that was the year.

I mean....I was happy to move on from Falvey. However...if we're moving on because our current Russian Nesting Doll of Pohlads is on "Tom" and Tom looks at the 2025 Twins, with even less payroll, after a major sell-off, and sees a roster set to transform into a 2026 "contender".....then I'm not sure I can throw fault at the feet of Falvey for not being some kind of wizard to pull that off.
-
I don't even understand what you're arguing....Tom believes that in early February they're going to make blockbuster deals to make the team better immediately while dealing their best players? Is that what you think Falvey was standing in the way of? This non-existent trade idea?
-
I don't know how the Mahle/Lopez deals aren't in the "worst" category. I'd feel alot better about this team with Spencer Steer at 1B and Cano in the bullpen.

Most of that comes from the article above. It is worth the read. We elevated him from spreadsheets to running a draft, the jump was too much and the results have born that out. It probably explains why FA was better for him, you can run that as a numbers game. The draft is about truly understanding football. It doesn't seem like KAM does. (I mean, coaches had decided Cine was a bust nearly by the end of camp. That pick was THAT bad) What I wish we could find out is who was on what side of the QB decision this summer. KAM feels like he's being thrown under the bus (as the PD guys said) when this was a failed group decision.

I like Smith. The Dolphins gave consistently been a good running team with inventive play calls. Carter? Didn't love him coming on board at all in the first place much less a promotion.

People keep citing the bullpen....that isn't even my top concern. How do you expect to be competitive with a lineup that isn't even above average offensively while also being below average defensively as a group? Our regular 9 is just not good enough. If we're going to be "competitive"...why on earth is Josh Bell and Victor Caratini the best we could muster?
-
I agree with this. It's certainly true that the Pohlad family pulled the rug out from the FO at several crucial times. We might never have seen what Falvey really wanted to do. At the same time....being a good "yes sir" employee got Falvey more power in this organization than basically anyone in baseball had. He played the Terry Ryan game...he was a good soldier. Fell on the sword publicly. Followed whatever constraints that were given. Praised his bosses ad nauseum. At the end of the day this mess is partially owned by him. He garnered a lot of "authority" and titles, but never garnered much sway with his bosses. At the end of the day, he followed orders. Even when those orders made our baseball team worse. He was fired yesterday because his opinion was no longer appreciated because it no longer agreed in lock-step with a family of silver spoon delusionals.

I'm surprised by the timing.

Sirles on Purple Daily called it a coup. Flores and KOC didn't go to the Senior Bowl and stayed back to finish putting in the final daggers.
-
Maybe I missed someone say this but it struck me after listening to the Wilf press conference: They felt so unsure about continuing with Kwesi that they'd rather fire him, go with an interim group through FA and the draft.....and then hire his replacement. That tells me they came away really, really shaken about his decision making that they'd rather wing it than let him have another go at it.
-
We're going to get a really good idea on how KOC feels (and felt) about JJ being the young QB this offseason.
