    Ok. Thought they would use the money to build a bullpen. Looks like they will sit it out and settle for cheap mediocrity. As a lifelong twins fan I can only say I’ve never been less confident in the organization than I am right now.
  2. Linus
    I agree with this completely. Get two top end bullpen arms and a third that is decent.
  3. Linus
    I would much rather have signed a true SS and moved Polanco to 2nd.

    Hildy should not be considered a lock in any way. Nor should we count on any of the prospects that haven’t done a thing. They need to add at least two good bullpen arms this winter. As far as Stewart he’s 24 and made it to the majors. I think people discredit him some because he doesn’t strike people out and that is what everyone wants. He has eventually succeeded at every level so let’s just give him a chance

    I doubt Baldelli is driving the bus on this. He has barely had time to meet them much less work with them. Falvine basically hired Mollies staff so I’m sure they will do the same with Baldelli. Interesting that nobody is concerned that they just hired Alston. The wonder boys seem to be striking out quite a bit

    By not having a designated DH you really add one more spot to your bench (assuming the DH can’t play the field). I would rather have another bench option so long as it’s not Grossman
  7. Linus
    Again everyone is talking about he has to turn Buxton and Sano around. Falvine hires the hitting coach-that is his job. Why are we hanging this on the manager?
  8. Linus
    I’m giving it until next July before the board is calling him a bum and wanting a new manager. Just a reminder that the hitting and pitching coaches last year were Falvines hand picked selections.
  9. Linus
    I’m not impressed by Sano anymore either. If you swing for the fences every at bat and don’t care that you strike out 35% of the time I’m sure you will run into one every now and again
  10. Linus
    He doesn’t have the requisite arm to play short and he knows it. Hence all the rushed throws and plays. His bat is excellent and he would be a great second baseman. Just put him in a spot to succeed
  11. Linus
    I’m liking these ideas especially Iglesias at short with Polanco to second. I would add 3 BP arms as I don’t trust any of them besides May and Rogers. Third priority would a good right handed hitting outfielder that be acceptable defensively. If this got done I would be happy
  12. Linus
    Of course but basic fundamentals are what he was criticized for. I think there are plenty of problems within the organization and it’s a little too convenient to blame it all on Molitor
  13. Linus
    I thought that was what the minor leagues were for? Mollies job was to win games
  14. Linus
    I speak English and Norwegian, does that make me eligible?
  15. Linus
    I think the criticism of his bullpen management is overblown. With that bullpen you are going to always be on the edge of overuse because there were only a couple of guys that were any good. More accurate blame would be to the front office for not bringing in better pitchers
  16. Linus
    Weren’t we just saying all the same things about Gardy? On the list of things that went wrong Molly was about 9th. There were many things outside his control including a bunch of free agents that were mutts. This fine in that we are reducing the number of scapegoats so Falvine can be the next ones out
  17. Linus
    They have one guy you can count on in Taylor Rogers. The rest are mediocre at best that’s why I didn’t like the Pressly trade. Big big project to get this mess cleaned up
  18. Linus
    I think he is better behind the plate than Castro or Garver. He is energetic and athletic. Seems to throw well enough. I agree the Twins should make it his job to lose. Make some of these guys play
  19. Linus
    I think Sano should watch Garver hit. Might save his career.
  20. Linus
    Sorry but De Jong is not MLB material. Neither the stuff or command to be a winner in the big leagues.
  21. Linus
    Well said. I’m glad I got to watch him play and appreciated what I was seeing.
  22. Linus
    Agree wholeheartedly. Tovar was my second favorite player and Astudillo is climbing the list quickly. I’m just worried our wunderkind front office is going to overthink this situation and release him

    Bert is a complete moron. He can’t wrap his head around an opener concept and what that might do to historical stats ......
  25. Linus
    It is strange they aren’t trying some different things in the pen. They have a lot of work to do in this area.
