    This write up should be sent to all our top professional coaches that falvey has hired ... Let's hope his injuries were the cause of his poor season and he bounces back this season and possibly can help the twins or at least increase his trade value ... Balazovic and enlow need to improve this season for a chance at a twins career ...

    Yes we need pitching , I would wait at least 1 more year to evaluate what he brings to the table on a consistent level , he must learn to beat the better teams ... Arraez is the one to lock up extra years with ...

    Cody laweryson probably will get selected by another team in the rule 5 draft ... We need catching and no catcher is rated in the top 30 prospects ... Headricks a lefthander was protected and equal to laweryson as a right handed ... Nowlin might be a sleeper , schulfer is quite old to be a prospect ...

    I'm with you on pagan , if he was a minor leaguer getting a taste of the big leagues , he'd be sent packing to ride the bus in the minors ... Pagan may have the stuff to throw hard but he doesn't have the control, To many walks and Homer's , his better production the last couple of months is a mirage as he faced more rookies in the later months, I see pagan getting cut in 2023 like Duffy in 2022 once they realize his new pitch isn't the trick ... Good write up nick ...

    If you read Cody's post , he mentioned miscalculations and I just added my two cents worth .... if you like the additions the FO has made in free agency or by trades I'm happy for you ... Yes I am not impressed . But I also realize that you have to give up talent to get talent ...

    It would be nice if the young players could stay healthy and play a full year to really evaluate their talent at the major league level , they had good minor league stats but have been injury prone here at the major league level , they have shown SSS at the major league level , here's to a healthy season guys .... The pitching is solid for winning regular season games but I'm not encouraged enough that they will win playoff games ... Miscalculations on the FO has been the norm , they are not the smartest guys in the room ...

    I sure hope he comes back healthy and have a career ,,, Maybe comeback player of the year , he's young and has a desire to play the game of baseball ... he has a nice swing , let's hoe he can have a good career ...

    A country that is proud of its players and has a high respect of the game... Two good players and we'll deserved ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    With his experience in the minors at 3rd base and hopefully hard work this off season to improve his defense , he should do fine ... Let the young players play and get the experience ...
  10. Blyleven2011
    Enlow does need to show more promise in his comeback in 2023 or he will likely be cut from the 40 man roster ... We need pitching and definitely good pitching so give him the time to get it worked out as he showed good promise before his TJ surgery ...

    We already have had a few players released and picked up by other teams , Cave is the only player still remaining on a roster , Palacios and Hamilton have been left unprotected by their new teams ... I see us losing severino , sisk for sure , Williams maybe in the rule 5 draft ... Thanks Seth
  12. Blyleven2011
    My sentiment exactly ... Fo needs to Stop believing he has upside and should have been non tendered , mitch ( the wild thing ) Williams was ousted out of Philadelphia after he blew the 1993 world series ... The twins fans deserve better , now trade him if any team offers anything ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    A bench coach or hitting coach , he could help mentor the players ... Don't know if he has anything left in the tank as his numbers have slid downwards ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    I like rodon but he will sign elsewhere ... My guess Dodgers as they are always throwing money at top free agent pitchers and there isn't alot in the top tier to choose from this year ... Dodger threw tons of money towards bauer , way more than he was worth ... When it comes to pitching , the Dodgers are very aggressive , the trade to Washington to get scherzer is another example ... Good write up though and I would like to have him , giving up a prospect and the reluctance the twins have for not spending big on quality pitching , I don't see it happening ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Dream or no Dream, this will never happen ... The front office is not to be trusted with their pitch to the fans and season ticket holders ... They will be competitive but not contenders unless they get some top quality pitching , pitching and more pitching ... I agree the twins are stronger at starting pitchers entering 2023 but are just slightly above average ... I know it sounds negative but it is reality ... Would love to have a star studded roster but we'll have to keep dreaming ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    The question is does it make sense ... To me it makes no sense , he's lefthanded in the box and we are already too lefthanded , he strikes out alot , if the yankees didn't want to keep him , I'm definitely not interested ... Three strikes and your out ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    It would be nice to find some permanent leftfielder to fill the position ... Haniger has been a solid player and would contribute to the lineup if he could remain healthy ... It's another discussion of leftfielders , a couple of days ago we were talking about renfoe ... I sure wish our new trainer can keep the players healthy and playing ... The roster is full at the moment and more players are likely to be non tendered , pagan does not deserve a roster spot , Megill has talent but not consistent , garlick was signed but should be taken off the roster , Contreras should be also be off the roster ... Urshela had a good season but we have the depth , I like him but it's not my decision ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Good analysis ... Makes good sense and I wish the front office has the sense to make the wrong moves the previous seasons go away and make some right moves this off season and put some excitement back into the twins ... Speed kills ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    It's really no debate , they are both talented players and glad to have them ... Let's hope they have long healthy careers and battle their butts off for a twins world series victory ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    We need a bullpen like the nasty boys of 1990 Cincinnati reds ,,, Or the 2014-15 Kansas city royals world series Champs of 2015 ... Those were some awesome relief specialists and they wouldn't have won a world series without them ... I have been trying to figure out why our front office can't seem to see the light and assemble a bullpen close to those ... It's my plan and I'm sticking to it ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    Since sano is fresh in everyone's memory , it is definitely a YES he was a disappointment ,,, Either there was nothing between the ears as he spiraled downwards in hitting and never fully adjusted , getting demoted back to fort Myers was the biggest degrace a player could receive ... Maybe molitor was right , most likely he was , I'm sure he seen alot of player's in his time do the same thing and ended up a bust ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    Good Wright up ... Heck of alot of names on the list to consider , they will protect the obvious arms and position players and add to 40 man roster ... They will obviously lose some players in the rule 5 draft that will be talented for another team ... Seth , Do another write up after the rule 5 is in the books and see if twins fans agree with our FO ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    Thanks , I guess I always assumed it was given to the highest average at each positions
  24. Blyleven2011
    They did pay for an allstar in Lopez with the prospects given up , he just failed to live up to any real value for the twins so far ... Can the FO really be that good at recognizing talent , I'd say no , they looked at a small sample size of Lopez's career and shot a wad at acquiring an allstar when his career told a different story .... Let's hope the trade works out and he can get back to being an allstar performer ... We need pitching but the FO just doesn't seems to know the right talent to bring in and make a perfect fit .... It's my plan and I'm sticking to it ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    When did they start voting for a silver slugger award ... I always thought if you had the highest batting average at a position you won the award ... Have I been wrong thinking this ... Nice going major leaguer ( arraez ) ... It's a pleasure watching you play and hit ...
