  1. He's a hard guy to evaluate. Very inconsistent in both the minors and majors. I know injuries play a part in that, but that doesn't explain all of it.
  2. I disagree. Booing shows that people still care. The players need to hear it.
  3. I've lived through some dark periods of Twins in baseball, but this past year has been unwatchable.
  4. Why am I watching this? Has my self esteem dropped this low?
  5. If the Pohlad's want to regain a modicum of respect from the fan base and show they're serious about winning, they could dump Falvey and Rocco. The fans are just tired of watching the lousy at bats, poor defense, sloppy base running, and general lollygagging. We can complain about the payroll, but at the end of the day Falvey and Rocco put them in the position they're in. Forget the payroll, the Pohlad's biggest fault is sticking with the same people for too long with no accountability.
  6. Just speaking for myself, I would respect them more if they just came out and said the team is losing money, and this can't continue.
  7. We don't know who the new minority owners are, but I highly doubt they will have any new ideas or interest in running the club. Otherwise, why would they only take a minority stake? Most likely it's just some rich guys looking for a place to park money.
  8. Under no circumstances should Clemens be penciled in as the everyday first baseman. He has performed better than expected for essentially being a waiver wire pickup, but he is not an everyday player on a good team. I agree with the other comments that Ober will be given every chance to hold down a rotation slot. The bullpen scares me (not in a good way). I suspect the front office thinks they can piece it together with waiver pickups and late February bargain basement free-agent signings, like they do every year.
  9. Good article. I suspect those out to villainize him are in the minority. In the end, it just made sense to part ways. If he had played better this year maybe they would still be in the playoff hunt, but it's easy for me to say that. Players, even the best, go through slumps.
  10. I will admit they have been more fun to watch this past week, except for cringing during the late inning pitching changes. I think the Twins would be even more enjoyable to watch if they moved on from Larnach and/or Wallner. Enough with these three outcome hitters. I don't find it entertaining.
  11. A very small sample, but Houston has been impressive thus far. Maybe he can help sooner rather than later, like when the Twins drafted Knoblauch.
  12. Does anyone actually believe Roden can be an everyday player? With all the outfielders coming up through the system, will he even be on the 40-man a year from now? You can defend most of the trades to some extent. They each had at least some rationale. I still don't know what the rationale was for the Varland and Stewart trades.
  13. Urena needs to go back into the void from which he came.
  14. Well said. Provus pressed him on the Varland trade during the telecast last night and Falvey gave the standard response that the deal was too good to pass up. I'd be curious to know if that's also his view of the Stewart trade. I don't follow the minors that closely, so I can't tell you if Kendry Rojas is the second coming or not. However, why would you completely handicap your bullpen like that? The bullpen went from a position of strength to a glaring weakness. I watched the early 80's Twins and saw how ugly it can be without a decent bullpen.
  15. The sad thing is, if Correa had been close to the player the Twins were paying for, they probably would still be in wild card hunt. Still a very flawed team, but the teardown probably doesn't happen. As far as third base is concerned, at the time of the trade he was still their best option at SS. Even with declining skills he still is way better than Lewis or Lee in the field.
  16. I can't take much more of Wallner. His at-bats always look so awful.
