    I feel sorry for Derek Shelton. This roster is still Falvey's doing. Somewhere he's sitting on his couch, sipping a drink, thinking he's always the smartest guy in the room and that he can always build a bullpen. The disjointed roster is on him. The lack of player development is on him. Thanks Falvey. There is no fixing the bullpen...they don't have enough options in the minors and they clearly have no interest in trading for anyone. "Hunt the good". Buxton. Today was a great day....I mean, you started Connor Prielipp against Dylan Cease and had the lead into the 8th. That's about it for today.

    Why hasn't he just been put on IR?

    I can't wait to watch Marek Houston play SS for the Twins. That kid is SLICK in the field. If he can hit at all, all the better.
  4. HerbieFan
    No, Sam. The clear answer is NO.
  5. HerbieFan
    With you Dman. This is the biggest concern
  6. HerbieFan
    Patience people.....
  7. HerbieFan
    100%

    I get the health issues he's overcome. That said, in one appearance he already has established his floor as a dominant reliever with that slider.

    I read the headline and thought we were going to read about the complete lack of ability under Falvey to develop players that are a) fast and b) can play defense.
  10. HerbieFan
    Keaschall. Easy. Not sure we know Bradley and Abel will stick as starters. I 100% hope they do, but....

    I thought at the time that Caratini was brought in: - as a #2 catcher/part-time 1B - as a replacement for Jeffers if he's dealt at the deadline - as a replacement for Jeffers if he leaves in FA after the season.

    The "beauty" of 2026 is that we'll have a full season to get answers. If he doesn't show growth as a starter, he certainly profiles as a late-inning bullpen arm.

    I've only seen highlights of Houston, but my goodness.....

    I'm 58. I survived the early '80s, the late '90s, the threat of contraction, the early 2010s. I'm a lifer. I with they were going to be better. But there's always a reason to follow....this season, I want definitive answers on Wallner, Lewis, Larnach, Lee, Ober, etc.. I think 2026 will provide those answers, for better or worse. Second, I wanna see the young guys. I want to see 60+ games from ERodriquez, Jenkins, Culpepper, etc. I wanna see 20+ starts from Bradley, Abel, Zebby. I wanna see Prielipp make 40 appearances out of the 'pen. I wanna see Festa out of the 'pen in August/September. I wanna see KRojas get a cup of coffee. In short, I want a direction for 2027 and moving forward.

    Not a red flag....a RED flag.
  16. HerbieFan
    Maybe they could trade one for a reliever...... :(
  17. HerbieFan
    So SIX different players started in LF?? Sheesh
  18. HerbieFan
    Two things for me here: First, I don't understand why they wouldn't have Funderburk in the bullpen. If you're not competing to win a division, you may as well find out what you have with a bunch of the young guys. Second, I don't care....I can't wait for opening day!
  19. HerbieFan
    No idea why Urshela and Chafin were ever in camp. Outman can go. I'll keep Roden instead and play the guy four years younger with at least a little upside
  20. HerbieFan
    Rest assured they will be scouring the late camp releases....
  21. HerbieFan
    "These guys need to buck the trend and turn some young arms into actual difference-makers in the MLB." You could turn "young arms" into "some young players, heck, ANY players" and you would describe why this team is where it is.
  22. HerbieFan
    Hope springs eternal. How refreshing would it be for a top prospect actually develop into a good mlb player??
  23. HerbieFan
    I just want the guys with the best chance to get people out. If a guy like Rogers has a better chance of getting a righty out than "Waiver-Wire-Claim" righthander has of getting a lefty out....
  24. HerbieFan
    As long as "89-91" becomes "91-93", we're good
  25. HerbieFan
    Is Clemens a good enough 2B to make this a good idea?
