    Twins will lose players in this years rule 5 draft , regarded as a strong field of prospects, teams are doing there diligence on our prospects ... One thing I believe Seth forgot to mention in the rule 5 is if we lose a player we can add back to the list a player to be protected unless that has changed ...

    The splitter also known as the fork ball decades ago for the younger fans that might not have known ....

    Billy Beane really doesn't belong here , he was a Mets prospect that failed to develop him and claimed or traded to Minnesota , Detroit and Oakland .... We as fans continue to say , if we are going to amount to anything we must develop our players ... Nothing to inspiring in this write up but we had other players that faired well , kubel , cuddyer , hunter , Morneau , koskie , radke , viola and more ...

    Must of heard good things about hawk that you approve of ... Hawk will be fine ...

    Purging more salary is the most likely occurrence for a team that doesn't want to contend .... Key word is doesn't .... I don't like it anymore than the next guy , just being realistic and don't want to be very disappointed if it does happen ... Ryan is gone for the right offer , again many have said if these players want to leave , who would blame them , even buxton if he changed his mind I wouldn't blame him ... We could look worse in the spring than an expansion team if the 3 mentioned above plus jeffrrs are traded ... Everything is a possibilitywith this organization ... I hope Cody Engelhardt is right Lopez is on the roster cone spring ...
  6. Blyleven2011
    I didn't read past the headline of Lopez and Festa ... Who's to say Lopez is even with the club by spring training , beware a trade is possible ... Sorry , just being realistic so I'm not disappointed if he is , do i want him traded , no i do not ...

    That's exactly how the ball has been bouncing and you can expect it to continue bouncing this way , this organization has failed its fans ... This organization has failed Mlb baseball from trying to go from a small market to a mid market team and now back to small market ... Will they be gun shy in the future to try and spend high for players like Correa and Donaldson in free agency, more than likely ...

    The twins need to form a new identity ... we haven't had a real identity since the bomba Squad ... Hawkins will do his best and I'm sure it will be just fine and he should get alot of respect from the younger players who can appreciate that he had a 20 years plus career ... Everyone wants longevity in baseball and Hawkins is your man ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    Shouldn't he be considered in 2025 as comeback player of the year after all those injured years zapped him of playing even half a season ????
  10. Blyleven2011
    Let's hope we only have to suffer through 1 more total system failure season ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    Veteran leadership , this isn't the senior league ... Kinley , Milner and Armstrong .... How about signing someone who is familiar with the organization , thats a new MO for this organization and if they got ty France for 1 million you can bet they don't want to spend more than that on any player ... Lets try it again .. Coloumbe , theilbar and Stewart again ... Im just kidding , I'm not sure who I want but let's just let the young players have there chance from our over stocked falvey pipeline ... Why didn't we get any major league ready bullpen arms from our deadline purge for 2026 , that would be a great article to analyze ....
  12. Blyleven2011
    Cause Falvey's ouija board is just as insane as he is ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    What , no more hearing Hawkins in the booth on occasion , say it ain't so ... Back in baseball Latroy , the dream continues , go get em ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    Whats wrong with this organization and whats holding our coaches behind , it's really a no brainer ... It's been said already but I'll say it again .... It's a falvey problem , and one us fans have to suffer through 1 more season ... has he ever won executive of the year ???
  15. Blyleven2011
    And we traded varland a relief pitcher with some good experience just to get Rojas that needs 2 years more to development , yes i know we got roden too but we don't know if he is just a AAA player or can hack it at the major leagues ... If twins fans think we are finished purging our valued players , they are in for a big disappointment ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    Amen doc .... Id still rather have francona , Rocco should have been fired last year and falvey could of gone after Terry, price would have been higher than a Sheldon salary , but the rewards would have been better ... Falvey is always a day late and a dollar short , don't have lunch with him because he will have you paying the check ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Im waiting to see what larnach would do with another organization , he's right on the cusp of being a better than average hitter , can some other organization with a fresh change of scenery and a different voice help larnach at least be a 25 homer a year player with a 250 average ... No idea if he can be a better defensive outfielder , he's slow but does field better than others ....
  18. Blyleven2011
    The front office will continue to do it their way , we've had positions for years that should have been addressed and haven't , the positions haven't been addressed in our development system to fill the positions ... The twins haven't found any cost controlled replacements yet in trades for the positions ... I'm expecting the trend to continue with this organization , the press conference of shelton proves it and was a joke that anything is going to change ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    Not sorry to see him go , hope him sucess but wasn't to impressed with him as our bench coach ... Now we need more replacements, it will make my day when I hear Watkins has been let go ...

    How's Arizona's farm system ranking ... I know we are talking san Francisco and what Cody is suggesting seems alittle weak in return , the 1st baseman eldridge seems to be major league ready and would come with years of control , but this trade should be mostly about getting hitting prospects with one of the pitchers mentioned by cody ... Its already been said during the world series that the twins want 2 of their top 5 for Ryan . I do not know if it was a reliable source , it popped up on my phone and it stated that redsox and minnesota were back negotiating .... I found it kind of odd that a trade was being discussed so soon after the season was over and world series wasnt quite complete , i know the front office knows more than the fans but i believe ryan has already requested a trade and FO is already acting on it , if the source has any merit ...

    Damn sure could use some fun , williams astudillo would sure be my choice over Gasper as backup ... But you can bet Gasper is falveys guy , I hope im wrong and gasper get DFA'd ...

    Nothing more and nothing less , it's what we expected from the operations department The B grade our OP gave them seems alittle high , a possible C- , nothing inspiring and the grade for the introduction press conference a F ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    It's a dysfunctional organization , all to blame from owners down to coaches at the major league level ... Development in the minors , who the heck really knows if the coaching is top professionals or not because we don't really see their day to day operations to evaluate them , like we do for our twins on a daily basis ... This organization has no class or a identity .... The press conference to introduce shelton was just going through the motions , nothing was gained by it , the media asked questions and the questions once again go unanswered , evading what we really want and that is ::: WHAT DIRECTION IS THIS TEAM GOING TO GO ... in one of this articles paragraphs it says falvey has control and authority well beyond his capabilities , THIS IS THE TRUTH , THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH .... FLOUNDERING FALVEY ...
  24. Blyleven2011
    Wow , same old crap , different day ... Shelton Seems like a smooth operator , maybe he's smooth enough to do falveys job ... But what's the big dark secrets that there always reluctant to share with the fans ... Fans want to know or there won't be anymore fans , this is getting real old ... Same old $h!? Different day ... Clone of Rocco only more intelligent is my take , hope we can at least be a 500 team with those 3 on the podium having so much enthusiasm ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    I do believe that a different manager could of succeeded in at least playing a better exciting brand of baseball , the entertaining value has been pretty low and the players who falvey has trotted out 2 years in arow from 2024 into 2025 are actually better than they have performed ( at least on paper ) , but why haven't they performed is maybe the question that Falvey's and Rocco's plan was dragging them down ... We will have a new manager and maybe a new spark will ignite some better play from the core players , sure wish falvey would keep out of the day to day game and let a manager manage , how can anyone and the players have respect for a manager that is only a puppet ... I would want to play for a leader for better morale and team chemistry , Falvey's and Rocco's players just went through the motions of playing for a failing plan which is sad ... Falvey and Rocco are not leaders and can't fight there way out of a paper sack ( where have all the leaders gone , even in politics we haven't seen a true leader in awhile ).. Has anyone heard definitely if rocco has had any formal interview with another team , there are just a few spots remaining to fill a teams manager position ...
