    Let's all hope those trades don't happen. Dumping even more salary would increase profits for the Pohlads, and they wouldn't even consider selling. For my own mental health, I stopped caring about wins or losses, and have jumped off the bandwagon. I will follow individual performances with no concern how the teams is doing.

    Did you mean to say you don't think he's able? 😄

    There are so many theories thrown out here that one has to be correct. However, a betting man would take the "we will never know which theory is correct" bet.

    There are a lot of Hispanic ballplayers, but not many actual Spanierds 😁

    I'm trying real hard to be impressed with a .759 OPS against right handers, but I just can't get there. On one hand, it is marginally better than the way Margot "rakes" (like we were told a couple of years ago) left handers in the .720s. so, I guess, there's that. I think Larnach is a marginally average hitter who is a defensive liability. Are you trying to find something to be impressed about? Definitely a roster position that could be improved.

    Their whole job is to convince fans that they can be competitive. I don't envy them.

    So, they traded a 25 yr old "probably not a major leaguer" for a 29 yr old who has already proven it?

    If nothing else, Shelton will be a lot less confused. "Didn't I just put you in the ballgame? What are you doing on the bench?"

    OK, you owe me a cup of coffee. I spit mine out when I read "9 left-handed Frank Quilicis" 😃. Seriously, thanks, that was a great way to start my morning.

    "vision". Can they get braille copies of the roster?
  11. Fred
    Unless they see Caratini playing 3rd or used as a DH (neither sounds acceptable), it would be crippling to use 2 bench spots on catchers
  12. Fred
    As sad as it is, the Twins actually gained in BA and OPS replacing Gasper with Brujan. Of course, they did have an emergency catcher in Gasper. That said, I'll miss Luigi.

    Do you mean "blossoming" after they send him on his way? Good point. They do seem to be good at that. 😀

    "Everything is fine". Whistling past the graveyard?
  15. Fred
    Martin, Buxton, Wallner, Larnach, Outman, and Roden says you have 2 outfielders on your 4 man bench. You need a spot for your #2 catcher. Only one available spot on the bench? Nope, somebody is getting moved. Stay tuned.
  16. Fred
    Well, they found a way. Somebody said they should take Susac. I said there was no way, because Jackson is out of options, and there is no way the Twins can carry Jeffers, Jackson, and Susac on the 26 man. They only have have a 4 man bench, and there's no way they would carry 2 catchers on the bench unless one can play 1st. Just goes to show you what I know.

    I believe that everyone attending a Falvey press conference is in danger of developing lung cancer from all the smoke being blown around
  18. Fred
    Jackson is out of options, therefore, unless they're willing to take a chance on losing him when they DFA him, they need to keep him on the active roster. If they claim a rule 5 guy, they are obligated to carry him on the active roster if they want to keep him. Maybe one of the three can play an adequate 1st base. That's the only way I can see to carry Jeffers, Jackson, and Susac, otherwise you have 2 catchers on your 4 man bench.

    When I first saw Eeles at Ft Myers, he gave me some serious "Charley Hustle" vibes. I believe the Twins could use more of that. Maybe the new staff will push a little harder.
  20. Fred
    Viable?
  21. Fred
    I don't see having another no-hit guy on the 26 man roster as a good thing. Somebody on the bench needs to be a viable Pinch Hitter. And if he starts, well, it's nice to have more than 5 guys in your lineup that make the opposing pitcher nervous.
  22. Fred
    With the Pohlads "squeezing every nickel until the buffalo s...s", I don't envy Falvey. I used to get frustrated with Terry Ryan signing washed up pitchers. Now I know what that was all about. I'm back to my " let's not give the Pohlads any nickels" stance.
  23. Fred
    How many spots can they afford to have occupied by Punch and Judy hitting corner outfielders? I think one is enough. And it's not like either of those guys is going to remind anyone of the Guardian's Kwan. I'd much rather they give Fedko a shot. Fedko has some pop (28 HRs), and runs well (38 SBs) with an .854 OPS.
  24. Fred
    Both Wallner and Larnach need to go. All 4 outfielders at AAA (Rodriguez, Jenkins, Gonzalez, and Fedko) should be given a shot. It's not like the Twins would have to get much out of 2 of them to replace Wallner and Larnach. And they would be cheaper.
  25. Fred
    And continually "trading for the future". The optics look like whenever a prospect works out and they will have to pay him, they trade him for more prospects. I know they try occasionally (Correa, Donaldson), but I feel like they keep holding up the "shining future" for the fans, and they think that should be enough for the fans to keep filling the seats.
