    I heard they have said farmer is an emergency catcher ,,,

    balazovic needs to perform to stay on 40 man roster ... Enlow needs to prove he can make it back on the 40 man list ... Other past prospects need to stay healthy and contribute in a big way ... Royce Lewis will be fine with time ...

    Maybe we dodged the bullet , I sure hope he shows he's more capable and stronger after surgery this year , some say the second year after surgery tge player gets his feel and rhythm back ..... Time will tell , if he doesn't perform he will be released ...

    Marlins need hitters the twins need a pitcher that is better than Sonny Grayand with some team control ... I'm not going to speculate on who to trade for pitching , only Miami knows what they want ... Remember the cold weather will not make anybody better until it warms up and the twins have not been a good team in cold climate at the beginning or late in the playoffs ...

    If Correa could win a MVP it wouldn't hurt and be worth the contract ... If he is a true leader and helps the other players get better as mentor that is worth the contract too ...

    I go to games , I listen to them on radio and watch them on TV , my eye test tells me they are awful at scoring with runners in scoring position with no outs ....

    I agree to disagree , Rocco and the FO will never take the twins past a playoff series to a world series ... Yes Rosario didn't score a hundred runs but was our last 100 rbi player , I should have printed that ... I thought dozier was our last 100 runs scored but I believe you ... I hope we get our hope and the twins win some meaningful games into October ...

    If they trade arraez , I'm really thinking I won't be a twins fan for my entire life ... Or at least until we get different operations managers in our FO ... Buxtons defense and arraez approach in hitting make these 2 the most exciting players on the team ...

    I under stand the title that Correa saved the season but he and the others have to play the game to win ... The front office and Rocco need to implement a new plan that hasn't worked since 2019 or the past 2 season for sure , yes injuries were a big problem in 2022 but so was driving in runs in scoring position ... You see the ball you hit the ball , to many strikeouts and not enough clutch hitting , as a player developes he should have a better eye at the plate and cut down the strikeouts and create more walks ... Rbi's and runs do count and the twins have had problems scoring runs for a couple of years now especially with no outs and runners on third ... Have had a 100 rbi's or a 100 runs scored by any player since Rosario ... Change the plan so those runners score , bring back small ball , alot has to change in coaching and preventing injuries , rocco needs to know what his players are capable of and put them in winning situations ... I like Correa's attitude to win , and that he wants to take this team to the ultimate goal ...

    A number one draft choice ... We traded the only prospect pitcher labeled an ace in the minors named Petty to reds for Sonny Gray and another player , yes he may not turn out as an ace but he's doing fairly well so far ... Since all teams need pitching I personally wouldn't have given up such possible value for Sonny who has had a solid career but nothing fancy .... Lee is a switch hitter and very valuable to a team if he does perform at the mlb level , he'll do just fine ..
  11. Blyleven2011
    Melissa your a day late at posting , I would have taken a extra large .... Good score on shirts and jackets , you have a loyal brother to you and the twins ....
  12. Blyleven2011
    Maybe terry Ryan was to conservative and falvines are risk takers ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    Bullpen help please and we are good to go .... Chafin or fullmer ...
  14. Blyleven2011
    The only trade from the west coast that has worked out remotely is maeda and we'llsee if he can be a comeback player ... San Francisco burned us , San Diego gave us crap so far and we paid the salary for Roger's to play in San Diego ... We always seem to pick up the LA angels rejects in free agency or minor trades and that hasn't worked either ... Falvine just hasn't had a good knack for evaluating talent , the only evaluation they are good at is how cheap they can acquire someone ...
  15. Blyleven2011
    Payroll ... Spend it or not spend it , that is the question .... Cleveland had a low payroll last year and won the weak division but they made it to the playoffs and collapsed ... You don't need a large payroll to win , I say let the young players play and see where it gets us ,,, Would like for us to get a stronger bullpen and if we're winning at the deadline , then pursue a top starting pitcher for the playoffs push , a left hander is needed but at this time we don't need him , see if he has a bounce back season ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    The one to watch is Lee ,,, if he can produce at AA and is better than what is playing on the 26 man roster , bring him up if he is mature enough to play in the show ...
  17. Blyleven2011
    Falvines best trade I would say was one for one , Palacios for odorizze ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    Your on to to something good , I like the creativity . I always have said a fixed salary and a contract ladened with incentives , all contracts should be incentitised and you'd get better performance from a player ... Remember our hero's of yesteryear played for peanuts and supplemented their baseball salary by taking jobs in the off season ... They gave us their heart in those days ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    I just hope we can avoid injuries ... If not , I hope the prospects earn the right to play in the show and not be rushed ... Wallner was rushed because of all the injuries , his defense needs a lot of work ... Break spring training with the best players and if someone isn't performing at the major league level , replace them with someone who is performing hot in the minors leagues ...
  20. Blyleven2011
    I also see a lot of others that need to prove they belong in mlb ... Without naming names the bullpen needs to prove they all can be counted on to contribute ... The offense needs to prove it can hit with runners in scoring position so that includes the entire lineup for the day ... And the coaching needs to prove it is capable of keeping its head on the game , 2 years running they haven't impressed me ... I'm sticking to my story ...
  21. Blyleven2011
    With his deficiency at shortstop it just astounds me that they keep playing him at the position and not try and develop him at a different position ... It just puzzles me that our FO and coaching don't do something about the obvious , he isn't a defensive shortstop , to many errors in less than a 100 games ...
  22. Blyleven2011
    How true this was , I remember you repeatedly asked why Polanco was never being rested ... Maybe with a new trainer they will change their ways ... Maybe ...
  23. Blyleven2011
    Our FO seems to build a roster with hope ,,, you can't succeed in building a team with hope that they can find away to make them perform differently for us then they did with other teams ... THE FANS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT SHOULD HAVE THE HOPE ... GALLO was not the right choice to add to the roster but if the front office hopes he produces they can maybe trade him at deadline ... We got a catcher at a position of need , we haven't fully filled the other holes the right way ... We lost a few of our better hitters in trades or free agency so the younger players are going to have to stay healthy and produce .... That's my story and I'm sticking to it ....
  24. Blyleven2011
    I always look forward to seeing the prospects playing in the bigs ... I am still out of town so this is what I have to say for the new year ... I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE FRONT OFFICE AND THEIR MOVES ... adding Gallo is a head scratcher , we have no balanced lineups , we needed right handed hitters and we sign a lefty that most likely will be a Sano from the left side ...
  25. Blyleven2011
    FO just always seem to throw in a few head scratcher in their acquisitions in the off season .... Adding Gallo is definitely a head scratcher as he is left handed and the twins have a surplus of left handed hitters , right handed hitters are needed to balance out the lineup and FO goes the opposite direction and signs a left handed hitter that will imp a ( Sano style ) and strike out 4 times a game or give you a homer or double every once in awhile .... I am not looking forward to the gallo acquisition ... Their plan just doesn't seem to change , they go the opposite direction everyone is thinking and if they do well they can brag they are the smartest people in the room ... And if they fail , they again will not take any responsibility ... The front office continues to take the fun out of twins baseball , but I'll give it another shot next season and hope my favorite players perform ....
