    I was always rooting for him to get a win but it just never happened ... He made it to the show so he was alot better than those that never had that chance , so he can be proud of being a major league pitcher ...
  2. Blyleven2011
    They are both young , 21 and 20 .... There is time to be patient and let the players develop as they mature ... ,
  3. Blyleven2011
    The auto pilot is broken and the plane has crashed due the wait and see attitude and lack of creativity ...
  4. Blyleven2011
    Love the twins almanac .... Love to jog the memories in the off season , especially since there is nothing else positive about the twins to report on ...
  5. Blyleven2011
    The only good thing in the central is the white Sox will keep the twins from finishing last in the division ... The twins have holes to fill year after year and never seem to acquire the right player for those holes ... Pitching has been strong the past few seasons , defense and offense has struggled with inconsistency ... What's more frozen in Minnesota than the weather is the pathetic pitiful twins franchise ... Rocco is also a frozen stubborn manager ...

    I would have to agree that there has been no mention of the twins having a meeting , not by FO or the athletic or trade rumors ... I'm surprised that a few other teams didn't get one ( Atlanta , Boston or Philadelphia , they still may ) ... It's been the 7 you have mentioned , when sasaki was mentioned as a possible posting , in another article I stated Sasaki would sign on the west coast and I'm still sticking to it ...

    The twins may be interested and the rumor has it they are ... Fat chance they sign him to any kind of money fedde or Kelly got after leaving the KBO ... We need hart as a bullpen piece , and FO is in a wait and see mode to sign him for a minor league contract , maybe take a risk at 2 million dollar per year MLB contract for a couple of years ....
  8. Blyleven2011
    I'm sure Cleveland traded Bo Naylor because he is a free agent at end of 2025 , they pulled a Tampa Bay and got prospects back ... Signing santana at 12 million was a head scratcher ( 7 million dollar raise roughly ) unless Cleveland really needed that gold glove ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    There is just not any money to allow for bargains for a 40 man roster spot ... They'll continue to add minor league contracts like they always have , nothing substantial ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Does any twins fan really believe the twins can finish above 4th this coming year ???? ... You win with talent , you improve that talent for the major leagues in the major leagues , this is not a philosophy of our FO , Rocco and our enormous amount of coaches , we have gotten worse with more coaches than when we only had a handful ... The twins can't win with hope , they will have a hard time playing better than Cleveland , Kansas city and Detroit
  11. Blyleven2011
    That just makes to much sense to have wallner or Larnach as a first basemen ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    Because he is not a major league manager ... It just isn't there , he gets a talènted minor league player up from the minors an expects him to play baseball at the major league level , I have to believe that Rocco and his coaches are incapable of taking a minor league talent to the next level , you should be taking that talent and make that talent better at the major leagues , I just don't see that happening ... We have gone in the wrong direction at assembling a talented roster that lacks an̈ identity ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Though canterino hasn't pitched much minor league innings I think if he has a good showing in spring training and after a month of AAA he will be promoted if still healthy , time is running out and they just have to see what he can bring to the major leagues in the bullpen , I've heard over and over he has some of the best stuff when healthy , ( has a 40 man roster spot ) ... Yes , Raya has been limited due to maturity , but if he cracks the majors I agree it will be in the bullpen ..
  14. Blyleven2011
    Raya , prielipp and canterino I think with their risk of injuries will at best be bullpen arms in the future , maybe Raya will be a starter at some point in his career but work loads have been light for all 3 pitchers ... I don't have that crystal ball for the right answers for the future ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    That was last year ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    I think this proposal is to weak ... I propose we trade Vazquez and jeffers to someone that needs established catching , then trade Duran of high quality to the Dodgers for 2 of their 3 catching prospects , an outfielder and either a pitcher or first basemen , but they would have to be major league ready cause we traded Vazquez and jeffers ... Dodgers want Duran I'm sure , they just have to give us the right pieces if our front office is smart enough ... I know trading both Vazquez and jeffers is a stretch but if the Dodgers catchers are mlb ready then we have young controlled cheap catchers that can go 50 / 50 in games played ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    I'm sure the FO had some interest in bringing theilbar back with a minor league contract , that's was one of their wait and see decisions ... Happy new year ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Jeffers had more passed balls , they just called them wild pitches , no more accountability by official scorers ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    Trade rumors site this morning ... He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2020 with the red Sox , 11 innings is all he has of experience ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    I'm sure the twins FO was waiting it out to sign theilbar to a cheap minor league contract , won't happen now as they continue to suck hind tit looking for a bullpen left hander , sources say they are interested in Kyle hart , a lefty that has pitched over seas for Japan and Korea ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Cubs sign theilbar to a major league contract , so he won't be coming back to the twins on a cheap minor league signing ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    You betcha on that last paragraph ... I'm sure everyone on TD has seen me post my frustration on the owners and FO ... I'll say it again , I'm not spending any of my money on twins fest , spring training or at target field , I will take gifts though ... I'm tired of being pretenders and not contenders , 2023 was a good year and we take a step backwards is unacceptable to the fans .... I'm not sorry for the negative response , I will continue to follow every game on radio or streaming ... And love talking baseball on twins daily ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Front office lives on hope , we've seen how streaky this lineup has been the past few years and nothing seems to ever get tweaked ... Last year there were prospects that really did not earn their way onto the major league roster , they were replacements for the injured ... In the minor leagues , You work hard absorbing everything to get to the major leagues and you work hard to stay at the level of the major leagues , it seems our coaching is not up to the task of improving the talent and taking that talent to another level , you never stop learning to play the game but we continue to see these prospects regress ( julien is a good example , his defense and hitting really tanked in 2024 ) ....
  24. Blyleven2011
    I was shocked that Ober was allowed to finish a complete game ... He was large and in charge , great game ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    Thank Seth , My favorite article was when pohlads and sons let it be known that they were exploring a sale of the team , I'm sure it's in the top 5 for most viewed and replies , probably number one for most viewed ...
