    Isn't that kind of the point, how long has this FO been here and staring at a 4th bad year in 6 years, and one of the good ones was the short sprint Covid. Hey if there would have been a big enough COVID outbreak and they shut the year down after 60 games they would have been in the playoffs last year as well.
  2. TwinsDr2021
    I was wrong on a plan that would be higher than zero. ;)
  3. TwinsDr2021
    Mike read the question being asked? I gave an answer, it is the only legit thing they could do to bring in more fans in 23 IMO. Chances of it happening are zero, but there might not be any answer that is higher than zero. Unless they plan on trading Lee and Lewis for some super star(s), I don't think it will be hard to get a ticket to games in 23.
  4. TwinsDr2021
    How about the FO admitting they failed and lower ticket prices and running another get to know them campaign?
  5. TwinsDr2021
    If you are fine with another year like the last two, then by all means run Farmer out there everyday. If you hated the last two years and are sick and tired of this FO and the excuses they have for everything then no I am not fine with running Farmer out there for half the season and hoping with both hands fingers crossed that Lewis or Lee is the savior to all the Twins problems and that every other player that has been injury prone is no longer. Also the Twins have the money to spend now and we should be worried about them spending that in the future?
  6. TwinsDr2021
    Yea, the Twins signed a 32 year old platoon catcher, call me underwhelmed. Is he a nice piece to he puzzle? yes absolutely, without anybody else added does he change the current team, nope.
  7. TwinsDr2021
    If this is your belief this front office should be fired. We weren't promised a rebuild this far into their tenure we were promised sustained success. So after two terrible years under .500 and another one to two, good luck getting butts in the seats at target field next year. I will add this unless they figure out how to get on streaming they are going to end up like the wolves were people have given up being invested and cheer for them to be bad. (Not me but I know many people that actively cheer against the Wolves and I am starting to hear similiar jokes being said about the Twins)
  8. TwinsDr2021
    These seems like a terrible contract for the Mets. 20 million and 8 years for a 30 year old? How do his stats get him to a WAR of 5? Zero all star games and never a vote for MVP. I don't get it.
  9. TwinsDr2021
    My favorite kind of post, pass on a star because the next prospect will be great. star may get hurt, star may cost too much.Talk about trading the Twins scraps for an Stud pitcher. Sell hope for a future that is never there because because next year a different star will be too much money and the next prospect will save the day. Complain the Twins don't spend enough money, rinse/repeat. Correa turned 28 in September if he will sign here for 8 years you sign him end of story. Lewis will be 24 by the time he might be ready to come back. Correa had over 20 WAR by that age and close to that since.
  10. TwinsDr2021
    If the Twins can convince him to sign here and pitch in the bullpen it seems like a pretty good signing. If the Twins sign him to be a starter then just fire the FO. In his last 6 games he pitched an amazing 26 innings and the 6 games before that 27. 1/3. Lets compare Archer to him in his last 12 games (49 1/3) to 53 1/3. Heney is a guy that in the last 4 years has completed 6 innings a grand total of 22 times. There were 12 guys that had 21 or more quality starts just last year.
  11. TwinsDr2021
    I can agree with the games that matter in September, but would add games that matter and a sense there is a chance of actually doing something in those games. Last year the Twins had "games that matter" because of their start and the White Sox/Cleveland start.
  12. TwinsDr2021
    That is the good thing about bringing somebody up at age 25, there is no reason to extend him. You ride him until there is a 1 1/2 left and trade him. That is the reason to have a pitching pipleline always replacing a guy with a younger cheaper guy.
  13. TwinsDr2021
    Thanks, fun list. Being an this list hasn't done much for anybody's career.
  14. TwinsDr2021
    IMO, why pay any pitcher that you don't except to at least the 6th in most of his starts anything over 10 million. If the team feels a pitcher is limited to 90 pitches and just over 18 guys a game he isn't worth that kind of money. I think the Twins have proven with Ober, Winder, Varland and others if you are going to limit a pitcher to twice though the lineup or so, it can be done with younger cheaper guys.
  15. TwinsDr2021
    I would say if Martin is Plan B for anything next year the FO has failed at preparing the Team to win in 23. Martin shouldn't be part of any plan for 23. If he proves his .316 SLG at age 23 in AA was a fluke and takes off and forces the Twins to include him in the Plans then that is a win/win for him and the team. He isn't on the 40 man now and there is ZERO to put him on it until he proves he deserves it. IMO
  16. TwinsDr2021
    Are you saying the twins should start a guy in the majors who had a .317 SLG in AA at age 23? Or not sign a guy to a multi year contract because he could block prospects? I can go with the second.
  17. TwinsDr2021
    I was agreeing with you and if Garlick is a Plan C if Larnach, AK, Martin, Wallner or somebody else is hurt or not performing he can step in like Cave did last year then it is an OK signing, if it does impede anybody than it is just another failure by this FO.
  18. TwinsDr2021
    If at any point there is a top prospect that is hot in AA or AAA and he doesn't come up because Garlick is blocking him this is a fail. If they can treat him like Cave last year then is good deal for the Twins 750K doesn't stop them from signing anybody.
  19. TwinsDr2021
    Sure maybe for fill in guys, but the problem with that statement is that the two rookie of years players are 21 and missed that same year. Royce Lewis miss that year and another year and now another year and still isn't 25. The Covid year hurt that guys that move though a system slow spend a couple of years in the majors (Maybe) and turn into backups or AAAA players. Real studs or even guys that have a chance to spend years in the majors just hit or pitch and make the majors. Winning teams are keeping this old of prospects on their 40 man (unless its a catcher or somebody like Canterino).
  20. TwinsDr2021
    If I was running the Twins the only two that get added are Julien and Canterino. I could be convinced on Serverino as well, possibly. There is no reason to waste 40 man roster spots on minor league guys on the wrong side of 25, unless of course they think there is a real chance of them making the team out of spring training. Which I don't see any of these guys Brent Headrick - 25 in December Chris Williams - 26 in 9 days Michael Helman - 27 in May Cody Laweryson - 25 in May Kody Funderburk - 26 in two weeks DaShawn Keirsey - 26 in May Austin Schulfer - 27 in December Nobody is going to put Urbina in the majors next year
  21. TwinsDr2021
    Could the guys in double A be any older? Hopefully they throw 95+
  22. TwinsDr2021
    Not really sure I see the need to sign him to a multiple year contract or really bring him back. The Twins have to figure out what they have in all these old pitching prospects. WInder, Varland, Canterino, Balazovic, Mooney, Sands, Legumina, They also need to figure out what they have with some a bit younger, Enlow, Cruz, Henriquez, Festa and SWR. Finally not block the younger guys if they prove worthy for promotion (maybe not this year but next year.) Prielipp, Raya, Medina, A real pitching pipeline is bring up a starter each year and a couple of relief pitchers so you can cycle them out prior to losing them in free agency. One could say they have Ober and Ryan and need somebody like Varland or SWR to step up this year and have a Prielipp or somebody next year. They have Duran, Jax, Moran in the pen maybe a Winder and Canterino, Henriquez, Festa or Sands steps up this year,
  23. TwinsDr2021
    Not a shot a you but in general 26 year old Winder has to be on the major league team as does 25 year old two time minor league pitcher of the year Varland. There is no reason both of these guys aren't starting the year in the majors both offer exactly what others/I have been asking for guys that can pitch multiple innings.
  24. TwinsDr2021
    Are you saying go youth on the offensive side in the last year of Gray, Mahle and Maeda?
  25. TwinsDr2021
    This would work in a perfect world but in the real world there are way too many variables that happens, extra innings, one of the relief pitchers isn't good or more, or you are up and somebody gives up runners and you need to bring another pitcher in. I do agree 100% they have to have some relievers that can go at least 2 innings just about every time out. The easiest way to guarantee that is when you have a pitcher you know will not go 6+ innings you start the relief pitcher for 2. Now I hate this and if Twins or anybody started doing this more often than not it would be another nail in the coffin for baseball but doing it occasionally or maybe 25-30 times wouldn't be so horrible (If the team is doing well because combing this with losing well that is unacceptable and unwatchable)
