    Maybe. But some sent down to AAA, rookies or vets, for one reason or another stink there also.

    They stayed because Calvin thought they were worth keeping,, and he could afford them. You try so hard.

    Blame AI, for any errors. - Although - I should have remembered the Twins had Leo Cardenas at the latter point. One of the best glove SS the Twins ever had.

    You're opinion.

    These were on both World Series teams: Randy Bush, Greg Gagne, Dan Gladden, Kent Hrbek, Gene Larkin, Al Newman, & Kirby Puckett, Griffin kept players he knew were good enough to win.Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva, Jim Kaat, Rich Rollins, Zoilo Versalles, Earl Battey, and Bob Allison,were on both the 1965 and 1969 teams

    Yep, there are too many who come up and shine bright for one year and then after the league adjusts to them ,become, IF they are fortunate journey men players. You do not build a winning team on here today-gone tomorrow talent wise rookies. The twins have had far too many of those, or total flops, in the past decade. 2019 was the last year they had brought in and up a group of players who melded into winning team, only to be broken up quickly. The winning Twins of the 60s-70s and 80s-90 had a group of players who were here for many years, not traded like courtesans.

    This site , as a whole, has a lot of posters who use Their prejudice and bias to annoint or trash players. They act as if a dude is their boy not getting a fair chance , or, one of those boys from the wrong side of the rails is BLOCKING their chosen son, or the manager does not realize how wonderful their boy is. Baldelli did not ruin any one, nor was any one ever blocked by another. Skill, or lack of it, is what really matters.

    His defense has improved but his throws to First while generally, now, not bounching are still ALL very low to the ground. He is not a good 3rd baseman.
  9. RpR
    Does not say how you know he is not just another flash in the pan. Many high pick rookies fizzled within two years.

    How?🤩

    The catching duo next year: Gasper and Pereda
  12. RpR
    I will be happy if they win both the Dodgers and Yankee series.

    Heck, Julien is still with the Twins with his Iron Glove. If he meets all of Ziggy's requirements, nothing to lose, but better at DH.

    🤔As a non-actual numbers statement - IF the average age of hitting the bigs was 25 and the average age of moving on to a different job was 35 , 30 year old players would be middle aged.🤔

    They are not developing, for goodness sakes; they are training for more and more difficult opponents , in a sport they are well versed on, as the go through the Minor Leagues. A five year old could be called developing as he is experienceing some thing absolutely new to him.🍺

    Put him in when the Twins get blown out; his power and inaccuracy would put fear in any batter.
  17. RpR
    That is what Spring Training is for, NOT regular season. If he shows well in Spring Training he will be up; if he sucks at the Majors he goes back down.
  18. RpR
    You mean well known names like : Boof Bonzer, Willie Norwood, Bombo Rivera, Craig Kusick etc., etc., etc.. The Twins have enough hyped failures; they need a team that stays together and wins more than they lose.

    Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving
    God Bless You One and All! Happy Thanksgiving! We got up and watched the Macy's Parade till we left for a dinner at The Green Mill. Then we came home and watched the The Natioaal Dog Show. Ater that we saw a PBS show called My Life as a Turkey, in which a gent raised a nest of turkeys, from eggs, a farmer had left on his doorstep. The show was based on a ture story and the gent who has originally done it, was the narrator. They had an exact recreation of the story - from the get-go - with an actor, supervised by the origianl gent. He said they were very, very fortunate that the recreation set of turkeys had personalities very close to the original. As was expected, but still a bit sad. In the end the tureys matured and left except one Tom turkey, but he finally matured to the point it attacked the man (they saw him as another turkey). After that he never saw another turky in the area, of any kind. The meat at the Green Mill was pretty good as they had ham and turkey with the normal other sides. I was dissapointeehd that the turkey was turkey loaf but the ham was sliced off of a ham at a serving table. The desert table was a Lot OF a standard variety but they also had small chocolate covered Cream Puffs. I wish had taken more of those and skipped the pie; they were UMMMM GOOD. Godspeed to you all and I hope your Thanksgiving was a good time with family and friends.

    Rodriguez is just average in AAA, he has show nothing to be called starter; bring him up for a look-see, depends on how he would do in Spring Training. Goldschmidt is a glass that is either half full or half empty depending on one's prejudices. Clemens had a good glove at First which does not make Goldschmidt a true need at First. Martin was fairly good at Second; Keaschall , his glove work too closely resembles Julien - so far. Short Stop is the BIG need; Lee is not good enough, while Lewis is , even improved, a midiocre Third baseman; Lee was good there last year.

    No your analogy was bogus.

    Twins motto: MONEY FIRST.

    Optimism, like empty stands, because the team stinks. If the newbies stink, then they can become the new crop of players this site dumps on, also.

    War is a calloused . But the other posters reason for that quote was a good one.
