It's really a shame the kid can't stay healthy , he should have ate more vegetables while growing up , can anyone really explain why a player is so fragile ???
-
My statement really didn't have a meaning towards the team's strategy , its what they say to the fans in general about the players , they never give up the straight scoop on a player ...

When I read the title , his name formed in my brain , I've been following this cerda guy ... He most likely is just depth , but if our FO and manager can get past the under performing vets or players ( make a move sooner rather than later ) and need to fill a position and cerda has found his way in AAA , there's a chance he could join the club , injuries hopefully won't be the culprit , if he has earned it , give him or someone else an opportunity to contribute , I hope our players don't struggle but if they do , we've got it covered ...

I hate it when Baldelli comments on his players or baseball in general , he is full of mularky ... Let the thumbs down come , our FO and manager are much like the politicians , you never get what they are really thinking , just what they think you want to hear ...

Why would you expect anything else , Rocco hasn't a vocabulary with the word winning streak in it ... Rocco is game to game , he can't even learn the concept of station to station ...
-
Awesome , but most will say he's to old to be a major leaguer ... They over look this kids start to professional ball , the injuries that derailed his development , now he's been healthy for the most part the past 3 seasons and has kept earning his promotions in the minor leagues , Keirsey Jr should have debuted earlier last season to know exactly if he can play in the major leagues ... What happened and why wasn't he promoted earlier last season , because we went and blocked him with untalented veterans that just stunk up the roster ... And were doing it again this season , I have more confidence in Keirsey Jr than others on this team ... Talent is a terrible thing to waste And keirsey Jr could be that talent we will never know about in a twins uniform , your never to old if you have the talent and passion to play this game ....

Pittsburgh has our number this year so far , Rocco can't out manage his bench coach Shelton ... Sorry I couldn't resist ...
-
Cranking out a pipeline of pitchers , nice to be excited about so much talent ... The way it looks , these pitchers will all get a chance in the big leagues but they still have a ways to go before they are solid contributors or they flame out ... Time will tell with healthy and development ...

Lineup of Twins Roster Hopefuls Beats Tigers, 4-0

Add it sucks if keirsey Jr has a great spring and earns a spot on opening day and the lousy vets get the spot instead ... Put the best team together , this hasn't been FO's MO ...- 69 replies

Lineup of Twins Roster Hopefuls Beats Tigers, 4-0

Let's salute the talent that played today , 6 hits and 4 rbis ,,, Keirsey Jr keeps hitting , could he make the club and push France bye bye , one never knows ... Pitching had a good game , funderburk went 2 innings and clean , still he most likely will have to earn his way back from AAA , all the pitchers were solid ... Momentum, keep it going ...- 69 replies

I just looked over the box score , twins had 5 hits , 3 rbis earned ... The france and bader homeruns were solo homers , whoopee ... Wallner batting leadoff , Rocco will never change to a normal batting order , wallners homer had a runner on base so that is the game changer or in his case tied the score ... Keirsey won the game with a hit , the twins 2 wins , the winning runs have been driven in by players most likely to not be on team by opening day , Keaschall and Keirsey Jr .. The biggest ouch I saw was canterino walked 3 and had 2 wild pitches , but didn't allow a run on 25 pitches and only 12 were strikes ... Duran and Varland pitched a clean inning ... Woods richardson started and went 2 innings , threw 33 pitches and 21 were strikes , 3 hits , 1 was a homer and only rbi he gave up ... The main thing is we won , the players need to build on those wins for momentum , every win matters even in spring training ...

IMO , the last true leader the twins franchise has had is puckett , he led on the field and off the field and was an ambassador for twins in all venues of the major leagues ...
-
Joe Mauer , I'm only guessing because it's early and I haven't had my morning coffee ... Keaschall is showing a good bat and reports are he is average with defense , IMO he won't make opening day roster with no AAA experience and also mending from an injury ... I could be wrong , we never know what our brain trust is thinking , I just hope they don't wreck him cause we could certainly use a good bat in the order ....
-
If Martin is going to be a solid player , he needs to play alot to grasp the skills necessary , if he is just a platoon player , he might not be any better than an average fielder ... He had a decent , not specular rookie year with the bat ( small sample ) but better than some ... Second base could be another position , the few games he played there , he held his own ...
-
The twins supporting cast are only hurting their players potential and that mean less trade value with this platoon crap and not playing their younger player , like others have said , I just don't understand where the FO and Rocco are coming from ... Also I posted a week or so that this platooning crap , we will never see a HOF'er out of this bunch of twins homegrown players ...

Well according to FO and Rocco the chances are pretty high , as once again they live on hope on a veteran ... Miranda a better hitter and fielder ( not by much ) This team is such a wreck with pohlads , FO and Rocco ... Also I for one was not naive to believe the twins will be sold , they are exploring the sale and now might pull it off the market , season ticket holders beware ...

Thanks for the article on the games in spring training ... Very encouraged when keaschall finally gets to the show he will be a consistent hitter and produce in clutch situations ... Yes , he's probably a hit first , defense second kind of player right now , but if they just find one position and have him play it consistently , he just might be able to better himself with defense ...
-
Another disappointment from the pohlads , a announcement deflating the fans interest in the team once again, can't blame the buyer backing out for there reasons ... It's just another disappointment , one after another , the payroll being reduced 30 million for the 2024 season with the window open for being a contender only to fall back to being a pretender .... Should anyone be held accountable , sounds familiar , don't it ???
-
Defining quality hitting from the twins batters is very hard to do , yes they get an occasional solo homerun , some hits and doubles but what good is it if they are left stranded ... I define a hitter that can get on base and ignite an offense ( oh where have you gone lead off spark ) , hitting in the pressure situations with runners moving up , hitting in the clutch and driving in runs ... Every win matters from April to September to even consider achieving 90 wins , they can't wait for the second half to turn on the afterburners , you have to do it all year ... Can the twins improve enough with a new hitting coach with maybe a different philosophy on hitting or will they continue to follow falvey and rocco's philosophy and analytics ... It isn't going to be easy but I at least hope it's more consistent and exciting , I don't want to be watching or listening with runners in scoring position and we fail to scratch runs across ...

The big hype on zebby's debut , the TV broadcasters were repeating what they had heard, where they heard it from , nobody knows ...
-
When they brought up zebby , they were comparing him to the Yankees Cole , I've never head a comparison of Lewis and trout ....
-
Just read trade rumors and it's posted that the club is going to use Bader alot in left field and fill in at centerfield , guy can't hit and we need hitting , looks like the twins want defense and strong pitching and no hitters ... Still predicting a 3rd or 4th place finish , to bad they can't learn to trade a player when their value is high and can't figure out if they have a future for the twins , evaluation is all about knowing if they are a part of the future or not ...

He wasn't a class act a few years ago in spring training ,when people wanted to talk to him , he responded , we have a job to do , do people come and bother you at your place of work , he was rude ... But that's life ...
-
Varland being a Minnesota native , we are pulling for him ... He showed a great bullpen arm in 2023 , that's where he is destined to be , high octane he got the job done , but he is a thrower and hasn't really proven he is a pitcher .. Quit fooling around with varland before he has no value at all and we lose another player for nothing ... He's a bullpen option going forward ...
