  1. The Mets are trying to find a second baseman. There's your first meeting Falvine.
  2. What happens if the new coaches are no better than the old? What happens if the two prospects they got the international money never see the big leagues? Like I said,time will determine whether these moves amount to anything. There is literally no way to make this determination right now.
  3. I have no idea how successful this front office will be but they literally have done nothing that a typical front office wouldn't have done. It will all depend on whether their judgment proves to be good. Until then "crushing it" is just click bait. Not why I come to this site.
  4. I guess I'm surprised that anybody thinks the Twins system has too many good pitchers. I'll believe it when they show they should be in the big leagues.
  5. Just reported on Twitter that the Yankees did not make the first round cut!
  6. I think this is a realistic way to bring in some pitching help as I just have a hard time believing Ohtani is coming to the Twins.
  7. Or the Twins and we already have him!
  8. I think people are under valuing Erv. He's not an elite starter but then there are only a handful of those. He is reliable, durable and mostly effective. Considering a multi year window he's been the Twins best starter since Johan. He won't be as easily replaced as some posters think.
  9. So we solve our pitching problem by trading away our only proven pitcher? Sounds like a good plan for 2020. No thanks, I've waited long enough. Plus, IMO, Darvish isn't that much better than Erv.
  10. This. Plus Joe is still a pretty good player as he moves towards the end of his contract. Most of the mega deals involve several years at the end where the player is washed up.
  11. I like it. It makes me think of Herb Carneal and that is a very good thing. "Hello again everybody......"
  12. The problem is that you have to make decisions about these guys when they are in their mid to late 20s. Some don't get it until they are 30 some never get it. Are you going to just wait on them just in case?
  13. I have never once lamented the loss of Swarzak or Hendricks.
  14. If this is true. The Twins should agree in a heartbeat. They have huge needs in both areas.
  15. This. The Twins can't wait around for 3 more years for internal candidates to emerge. They have a relatively short window with the entire young core.
  16. Dozier makes it and Mauer doesnt. They might as well stop with this farce.
  17. He missed time because of a groin strain and hand issue. Neither had anything to do with his playing style. Quit worrying. Last year we wondered if he would ever stick in the bigs.....
  18. I don't care about the exact number. I want them to seize opportunities to improve their pitching. If those opportunities don't materialize fine. Don't lock up long term dollars for mediocre talent.
  19. When you look at the free agent threads I get really worried. The Twins are going to have a 4 year window of affordability for their core. The pitching does not match up and the free agent market I'd dismal.
  20. Well Erv didn't even have a slider tonight so I guess a mute point.
  21. I don't get the Castro love. He's thoroughly mediocre and Giminez is worse. The slight improvement in the Twins pitching had NOTHING to do with them.
  22. I get that but then don't do it. If I was Mollie I wouldn't be happy at all that one of Sano's at bats came against a stunt. Who cares? Especially fans of the other team.
  23. I thought the Romine thing was a joke. Especially on the road.
