Looking Back at the 2019 Twins Draft Class
Blyleven2011 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I guess someone likes Wallner better than Steer , Steer was good through all the levels of the minor leagues and was close to a call up , but supposedly we were in a pennant race so the front office thought in 2022 , I didn't see it ,,, Steer got traded to Cincinnati and they promoted him to the club shortly afterwards , a good month in 2022 and 2023 was a productive year , 2024-25 his hitting has regressed alittle .. But i was looking forward to seeing him in a twins uniform and was disappointed when the trade took place ... That's history and Cincinnati seems happy to have him ... And than after all that trading in 2022 and the front office got gun shy in making trades that they completely stopped until 2025 deadline ... 2023 they failed miserably at not acquiring any help at the deadline when we were strong to contend in the playoffs , did I mention we could contend for the 2023 playoffs ... With alittle more help in the hitting department in 2023 we might of went further in the playoffs ( that was our window of opportunity that year ) , FO'S evaluation and hope that the FO had for the current roster just kept disintegrating ... Good game for 5 innings last night before Toronto opened the flood gates for 11 runs in the 5th and 6th innings , let's take another one from the dodgers and make them sweat ...- 47 replies

So much for lead off homeruns , there was an article that was expecting a leadoff homerun by either team to start this world series , hope they didn't bet the farm ...

Awesome anthems ... Hope it inspires Toronto , that a great opening ceremony ...

Let's get this game 1 out of the way with Snell pitching , if Toronto can capitalize against his arsenal tonight it would help , Toronto has home field advantage ... Im also rooting for Toronto , remember in 1990 when Oakland was favorite to win over Cincinnati reds , HOW SWEET that was , Cincinnati swept them in 4 , I dont really care for sweeps , I prefer competitive 6 or 7 games ... But that was a nice sweep back in 1990 that no one saw coming ......

Falvey is sitting in his chair all day and thinking about first base , telling himself he signed France for 1 million dollars , if i can sign 1 player for a million , there's got to be someone else out there that would sign for the same amount , Hoskins isn't a consideration ... But remind me later that I might have to eat those words but it will take more than a million ...

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen ... That trouble is out the door now and looking for another job .... Cody says baldelli was linked to the angels , did he get an actual interview , has he interviewed with any team yet ??? Cody says other teams will take advantage of baldelli's availability and hire him ( i sure hope other teams realize Rocco and Falvey's plan was not winning baseball ) A choice with experience that would give the twins players a spark would be mike Redmond , ex catcher for the twins managed in Miami with a crummy team , how do you gauge that ??? Redmond also was a bench coach in Colorado , Redmond was a well liked player , great comical clubhouse guy ... Hes got the qualifications at least for an interview with the twins ... I think he could ignite this team and he would work with the player's and strengthen their talent ... Cover all the bases falvey ...

Matthew is making progress in the major leagues , yes he's giving up to many singles but he's cut down the homeruns allowed in 2025 ... I'd like to see Matthew's command the high pitch , give the hitter a different eye level , Clemens ( rocket roger ) lived up high and batters chased ... Matthew's has the stuff , he is no Terry Felton who had stuff too but never won a game ...

What has happened between the twins and the Blue Jays franchises .... The Toronto Bluejay fans are living the dream because the team wants to win ... All we ever hear from our franchise is a lot of words that they want to win but never back up their words with winning ...

And thats probably where he's better qualified to play is the outfield and that is what i suggested , ive heard better reports on his outfield defense than his infield , we possibly have 2 recent shortstop and 1 could reach the major leagues this next season , there is no reason for winokur to be playing a position in the minors that he won't be playing in the majors ... That's what I said and you gave a thumbs down not only on me but alot of others , you must be having a bad day ...

Thanks for the report on AFL ... Our players will have to play better , winokur 3 errors in the infield stands out , maybe better playing outfield ... Mendez hitting the ball when he plays is encouraging , he's playing outfield , it was said earlier the twins wanted to have him play some firstbase , what's happening with that ...

Because louiie gives up homeruns at a high clip , he'll better someday he's got nasty stuff ... Homegrown Minnesota boy and they trade him , at least he fulfilled his dream as a youngster to play for the Twins.... I missed it by 🤏 much ...

Giving up won't get you anywhere near a hall of fame consideration ... Try harder twins

What a enthusiast crowd , Game 7 tomorrow night ... Winner take all for American league ...

Looking like a seventh game , advantage Toronto at this point with a hungry crowd ...

Toronto's 6 through 9 batters are just killing Seattle's pitchers , defense isn't helping much either ... 3 innings and it's a poorly played game for Seattle ...

Maybe the Mariners would do better with their eyes closed ...

If owning a professional baseball team give them big egos, why haven't we found a buyer for the Twins .. The pohlads have big ego's that's for sure , but its the money factor that make more money than the average Joe ...,

I sure hope i dont have to listen to that loud mouth announcer in the world series , really the whole crew was definitely on the dodgers side ... There's been some great games by individuals in baseball , Reggie had one for the ages , 3 homeruns on 3 pitches by three different pitchers , yes ohtani had a great game tonight hitting 3 homers and pitching 6 innings ... I turned it off , who will be mvp of series ????
-
Turn around , Seattle grand slam game changer ... All runs scored by 3 homeruns for Seattle ...
-
Raleigh and judge and a few others are definitely strong , 60 homer seasons are not easy to accomplish unless of course your on steroids ...
-
Toronto has hit quite a few lead off doubles today and Seattle pitchers are walking way to many batters ...
-
Again , first blood Seattle .. 3 games in arow at home Seattle has taken the first lead but have lost the first 2 to Toronto ... What will happen today ...
-
When I was writing , my thought was a concert at Target field because you miss your twins baseball so much that you just had to walk on the same turf of our players and get some sort of vibe ....
