    A change of scenery could help if falvey stays out of the way and let's the manager and coaches do their thing ... Main objective is to play better ball , Rocco is gone and if falvey stays out of the game i think better ball can be accomplished ... That's as positive as I can get right now , only positive that came out of 2025 season for now was keaschall playing for the love of the game and Rocco getting fired ...

    The front office is not going to change in buying expensive bullpen arms , they won't spend more than 3 million for an arm .... Roger's, stanek and Romano , Romano would be my guess at 1 million to try and reestablish himself , he's probably a good fit for them to gamble on .... So if they can find someone for 1 to 3 million to gamble on that would be my guess of their plan ... By the way it's illegal to gamble in baseball ...

    Walt Hriniak was a good one , he's 82 , what's age have to do with it if he can think and walk ... white Sox in the early 80's

    Agreed , the twins have a surplus of outfielders to possibly trade , there are plenty of outfielders that are better than our players in free agency that only cost money and not prospects , Martin who can hit some , run some and plays leftfield i would keep ... The rest that played in 2025 are not going to return much in value unless some team is looking for a permanent DH ...

    How do you have a plan when the ownership is still telling you to reduce payroll ... If I was falvey , I would want to keep my self respect and walk away from this organization , because the longer he stays the worse it gets and no organization will hire him for the same position if he continues to bomb us into oblivion... Deadline trades brought back a couple of close major leaguers ( roden , Outman ) , but mostly prospects unable to help finish out the 2025 season , we have a ton of prospects and we continue to not call up a hot bat when we have nothing to lose , alot of them thrive in the minors only to rot and not be given a chance at a major league level , our FO and scouts make poor assessments , you put your best team on the field , take a chance on some that are not a high prospect , let them decide their fate ... Stop the hoarding and give everyone a chance and stop playing players that should have been sent packing , and play the hot hand , something has got to stick if you keep trying different players from AA or AAA , I'm not sure falvey has ever brought up anyone from AA , Polanco could be the last player I recall hitting the big from AA ... Baseball is a win / lose proposition ...

    We see development in the minors leagues , what we haven't seen is enough development at the hardest level of the game ( major leagues ) ... Our organization needs to wake up and continue to develop the talent they have and take that talent to the next level at the major leagues so they produce and contribute to a winning environment ...

    Im not going to blame Byron Buxton if he opts out of his no trade clause if ownership continues to rip apart the roster further .... Everyone wants to be a winner , players , fans and most organization but not our organization ... We will get a nice page in the Tribune by Buxton thanking the twins fans for our support ... Players ( especially veterans ) haven't been happy here since 2021 , I hope shelton can bring some happiness to the player's and they play to their full potential , I could name names but we know who they are ...

    Boy i get to slam Rocco again , I thought these days were over ... Rocco led the team to 3 post seasons is misleading , 2019 his first year and even though he received manger of the year award , it wasn't deserving because he didn't lead the team to the post season , the players had career years and a juiced ball ... It was a great season of baseball by the players but it was a mirage of Rocco's capability , he managed poorly in the 2019 playoffs and then again in the 2020 playoffs ... I stopped very early watching or listening to pre and post game reports in Rocco's tenure and I lost any respect i had for him when he said he didn't care if the fans liked or disliked the way he managed ... If Shelton can bring some humor back into our game , I welcome it ...
  9. Blyleven2011
    For once I agree with a Cody Christie's write up ... Versatility is the FO's mo so this makes sense for the organization , but when has our FO ever made sense in regards to constructing a roster ... Im okay with trading jeffers ...

    A great player before the injuries shortened his career ... Hes hired for outfield and base running coach , let's hope he can help some of our players improve on defense , ( better reads on trajectory and throwing to the right base ) ... A positive hire that has some major league experience at managing , must have a good head on his shoulders ... Glad to have him ...
  11. Blyleven2011
    I appreciate these articles on our players but this year hasn't been all that impressive ... Winokur plays alot more outfield for our minors leagues but is playing shortstop most exclusively so it seems in the AFL , amick isn't getting much of an opportunity and is stuck in a rut they don't seem interested in letting him work through it , Mendez' started first week was good but then the personal reasons for leaving the AFL and then boadas is working in strengthening his arm with work after Tommy John surgery and showing some good and some not so good results ( walks ) , the others aren't getting much of an opportunity ... Not much baseball left in the AFL but the playoffs are coming for all teams and as alot of fans say , anything can happen ...
  12. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  13. Blyleven2011
    The splitter also known as the fork ball decades ago for the younger fans that might not have known ....
  14. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  16. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  17. 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 ...
  18. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  19. Blyleven2011
    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 ...
  20. 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 ????
  21. Blyleven2011
    Let's hope we only have to suffer through 1 more total system failure season ...
  22. 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 ....
  23. Blyleven2011
    Cause Falvey's ouija board is just as insane as he is ...
  24. 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 ...
  25. 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 ???
