    For sure a new FO!!!!! If we get a new manager, hire a baseball guy that never heard of a spreadsheet.

    It looks like Archer could be that middle inning or long relief guy. He seems to be great for about 60 pitches and then things go south. I saw it last night in the 5th and expected it to happen. Although I was pulling for him to finish the 5th and get the W. I thought Rocco stayed with him as long as he could.

    Agree. It's Arraez and Miranda mostly. But I think Urshela has been decent offensively and defensively. It seems that Rocco doesnt agree with that. As I have posted before, too much swinging for the fence. Kepler refuses to learn to slap the ball to left or bunt left to stop the overshift that he consistently hits into going for the homerun. But home runs gets the big money contracts, soooo.<

    It seems to me that that Twins entire offensive strategy, whether bases loaded with no outs, or runner in scoring position, is hit a home run. Except for Urshela and Arrez it's swing for the fences every time at bat. But home runs is what gets the big contracts, not winning or losing.

    Nope. Consider that at least, at very least, one will be hurt in Spring Training and out for the year. At least one will simply "not have it" until they are traded to some other team. Suddenly we are short SP's.

    Plus does Correa bring $34 million more to the table than what Palacios will cost next year? I say he does not., not that I do not think Correa is not a great player and fun to watch. I am a bit overly critical of the money Falvey and Levine throw around as they are pricing me out of their market. But from the attendance, no one else sooooooo.

    Agree. Duffy leaves some good memories, but clearly didn't have it this year. I hope someone else at least gives him a shot and he thrives there. But Pagan??? Good grief. And what is with using him so often in the sixth inning when the score is usually 2-1 Twins? But at the end of the inning the Twins are behind. Granted, Rocco doesnt have a lot of choices, but Pagan again and again???? All Twins fans have their own ah ah S List. Players get on and then play themselves off the List. Some deserved to be on the List, some not so. Personally Sano has been on mine for years and years. Pagan cemented his position on my List on June 28 vs Cleveland. Rocco was flirting with getting on my List by leaving him in there. Working on getting on again by using him in tight situations. I'm happy for Jake Cave, one of my last years List members, having success. With how he was doing at St. Paul, I thought he should have been brought up sooner.

    I hate to be pessimistic, but then I have been a Twins fan since day one and seen it too many times in the past 30 years. I just hope the Twins dont screw these guys up to where they can't get the clutch hit of throw strikes with the bases loaded. The new guys were a welcome relief yesterday.
  9. Florida Flash
    I think they should DL Buxton as soon as it is clear they are out of the race, which shouldn't be too long. Give him time to heal up before doing some permanent damage. Also, why are they wasting at bats on Sano when they could be getting someone with potential major league skills some experience. Ahhh, the ghost of David Ortez continues to haunt the Twins. Sano is never going to be another Big Papi. Give it up already.
  10. Florida Flash
    Why would the Padres give up so much for so little.
  11. Florida Flash
    IMO a trade for Sano is never going to happen. Even for a bucket of practice balls. I dont think anyone would want to pick up his salary for the virtually zero production he gives. The Twins need to simply fess up and admit they screwed up paying him all that money and move on. I doubt anyone would even pick him up if he is DFA'ed and pay him ML minimum. Not worth it.
  12. Florida Flash
    I dont know if some of these guys, Pagan for sure, cannot throw strikes, or are afraid to throw strikes. In either case they belong in town team ball, not pro ball. But it is hard to pitch when you have both hands around your throat.

    Dont worry. We'll get em next year.....or maybe the year after that. If not there is always the next year.
  15. Florida Flash
    I am afraid these two losses in Cleveland, which should have never happened, is going to bite the Twins right in the backside at the end of the season. Never was a big fan of Pagan because IMO he walks waaay too many people to be used in high leverage situations, I hope the Twinks can recover from this, but it could be a turning point. Oh well, we'll get em next year.

    Throw in Sano and if so, probably have to throw in a couple million $$.
