    Who believes that buyers are lining up to buy the team. This team has a bad TV deal and core players that can't stay healthy. They also don't know what position players are playing one day to the next. It is the comedy act of who's on first. You only know your CF is Buxton if healthy and the catcher is Jeffers or Vasquez. Its time for to stabilize the positions and if not trade for players who can.

    If the new coaches teach homerun like the last staff look for another long year. The few games that they played baseball they looked good,but when they swung for the fences not so much.
  3. David Maro
    This team needs OF help not more IF help. They already know Buxton will miss time. For how many years have they needed a RH bat that isn't named Margot. The biggest problem in the IF is cleaning up the fielding. The one thing that would help there is stop all the rotating players. It may also be a problem at 1st base with Santana not being there. This team should maybe look at Lewis in LF as that would fix the RH bat and keep him in the lineup.

    Basically the same team that finished short of the playoffs. It is all about the health of the core players who can't seem to stay healthy. Just how many BP arms will be ready to pitch on opening day and still pitching in September.
  5. David Maro
    Like a lot of the team's players he needs to stay healthy. The team can't have core players missing 50 or more games.When you have a limited payroll and have to reach down to AA to bring a player up its a problem. The last two seasons Ryan has missed time with injuries. This last season being a arm that hopefully doesn't happen again this year.
  6. David Maro
    This has to be the most laughable things that this organization has ever done. Let's put one of the people who signed Donaldson,Correa and Buxton to over priced contracts who spend about half the season on IL.Looking ahead to 2025 doesn't look good for the life long fan.
  7. David Maro
    Payroll,Payroll,Payroll he is payroll friendly why trade the steadfast BP arm they have. For him to be a SP he would have to become a different pitcher. His fastball velocity would be down in order to throw more pitches. He is a solid one inning pitcher who can pitch two days in a row. Don't weaken a BP that has question marks.
  8. David Maro
    For those who say the rotation is built thru the draft is out of touch. The only SP in the rotation coming out of the draft is Ober. Lopez for Arraez Ryan for Cruz SWR for Berrios Paddack for Rogers And bringing Varland up in this conversation,how can anyone think he can ever figure out how to go beyond 3 innings. Festa is the only pitcher that is maybe ready for #5. Zebby needs to be in St.Paul to start the season. If I'm missing someone then why didn't they come up ahead of SWR or Festa and or Zebby.
  9. David Maro
    Don't see a offer for him until teams see him pitch in ST. You can't expect a team to take his contract without seeing if he can take a mound and show something. This situation is and has been a problem with Falvey trying to build pitching with tired,weak arm and shoulder pitchers. They saw it with the BP as well,just look at Stewart who couldn't even get out of ST. They need to do better at drafting and develop pitching like Cleveland does.
  10. David Maro
    Maybe some other team and that's a big Maybe. Both the New York teams have SS. The Yankees have Volpe who is 23 yrs old and plays every day. The Mets said no to a ankle,why would they say yes to a ankle and 2 bad feet. And they are not slapping Lindor in the face after the post season he had.
  11. David Maro
    Why are we talking about this when the FO and manager like daily lineup changes. The only positions that had minimal change was 1B and catcher. Yes injuries had something to do with it. But when you look at LF since Rosario left there has been more than 25 different players. Hopefully when someone comes in and buys the team the first thing they do is dismiss Falvey and Rocco. To get improved defense players need to have a position they play regularly.
  12. David Maro
    Too many 3-2 counts and position players playing out of position didn't help. Not all players want to play like a utility player. Pitchers pitch count climb when you go 3-2 again and again and then throw a meatball. How about trying to pitch instead of being a thrower. Throwing 100 miles per hour doesn't get it done when you throw it down the middle.
  13. David Maro
    Time to realize Buxton and Correa are not going anywhere. Name one team that wants to pay part time players the salary they are at. If they look to trade anyone it could be Ober. Looking at Ryan or Paddock they both have arm issues. Yes both maybe are fine,but I think teams will want to see them in ST first. As far as Lopez goes they need a Veteran pitcher to help the young arms navigate the season. Now you are at Vasquez who is a over 30 catcher making 10 million playing basically half the season.
  14. David Maro
    How many other managers would PH a hitter like Margot who went 0-30+. He is a manager who has 0 feel for the game. He has a spread sheet that he refused to go away from. They talk about players being superstitious,but have a manager who moves them like chess pieces on the field and in the lineup.
  15. David Maro
    You are asking a team to play baseball and this FO and manager don't want that. All you have to do is watch how many times they had bases loaded with no or one out and everyone swinging for the fences. What this organization thinks is all the lineup is capable of going deep. You also have the booth getting all gitty about so and so going deep instead of getting the ball in play. I saw numerous strikeouts and DP balls. If the new staff plays the same game they will only see all the same problems. All they need to do is look at what happened to the Yankees in the WS,they kept waiting for the homerun.
  16. David Maro
    Hard to build a winning team when you're core players spend so many games on the IL. Don't see a lot of teams lining up to take any of them. You may have a team look at Lewis only.
  17. David Maro
    It is time to move on and make a trade of AK.With a tight payroll this team needs players that play.His history is more time on the IL.They had to go out and sign Santana because of the unknown with AK.He also never did show he could play 1B at a major league level.This team already has 3 star players who will miss a good portion of the season next year because of their history.
  18. David Maro
    Hopefully Moran can become a pitcher not a thrower like before.It has been said he has great stuff,but no control.There was a game I remember he was brought in to mop up and he failed.He walked the bases loaded when the score was 12-5 the Twins. Like many of the players named it is time for them to start showing their ready to contribute or not.
  19. David Maro
    Here is an idea stop the revolving door position players.One example there was 7 different LF in 24. Spring Training work to have 2 players per position,that seemed to work at catcher. And with payroll restrictions 1st base will need to be filled by Miranda or Kirilloff if still on the roster. This probably was one reason they fell apart at the end,to many position and lineup changes.
  20. David Maro
    What I saw was a pitcher with the same problem as SWR. Things would start out OK for 1 or 2 innings then the wheels would start to come off. Their pitch count would climb and walks would happen and runs would score. Both need to refine their pitches and command.That also include going after hitters so fewer 3-2 counts.
  21. David Maro
    Same Crap different year!! They will be swinging for the fences and leaving ducks on the pond.Need to learn situational hitting like hit and run or hitting behind a runner. You know like the game called baseball.
  22. David Maro
    If he was going to get a chance as a SP they would of plugged him in ahead of SWR or Festa.Or after Ryan went down ahead of Zebby who they brought up from AA.He would have to change his approach and most likely be just another 3-5 inning pitcher.
  23. David Maro
    Maybe Dennis Quaid is available to play him in the movie.It was a nice story,but all storys do have endings.It was time to move on probably 2 years ago.The Saints are a AAA team now,not Independent League.Players there are working to make the big club and his time is up.
  24. David Maro
    This whole mess is on Falvey,he thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.He signed Donaldson who didn't fit the team.Gives Buxton a so called home team friendly deal knowing he is a part time player.Then trades assets for broken down pitchers like Mahle and Paddock.And after Correa opts out and fails two physicals decides he knows more than them and resigns him for 6yrs at 200 million.Now a team with limited payroll is stuck with another part time player.This organization is going to have a tuff time competing in a much improved division.
  25. David Maro
    The biggest problem is the remaining payroll.They have 50+% going to 3 players.They now have to do one of 2 things,increase the payroll or trade players.If you give Castro the 6.2 million that is almost 10% of the remaining payroll.So basically you now have to fill 22 roster spots with the remaining 40% which is going to be hard to do.This team would have a hard time competing in the much improved division.
