    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. David Maro
    This team's mentality is swing for the fences not playing baseball.There are players on this roster who should be table setters,but aren't.I do remember Jeffers changing his approach with 2 strikes,never heard anyone else doing that.Then why would baserunning fundamentals be needed.It is the same thing with defense,when you rotate players all over the field,fundamentals aren't necessarily.
  13. David Maro
    The problem this team has is a FO who put all their eggs in 3 baskets.You now have over 50% of the payroll tied up in a pitcher who pitches every 5th day.And a SS and CF that can't stay on the field.They have not given the team what is needed to be successful.The whole team has had a issue with health and are now a year older.People want Santana and Castro gone when they were the only 2 available to play every day.The whole medical and conditioning staff needs to be replaced.The program that is being employed isn't working.
  14. David Maro
    Gold Glove and lead the team in HR and RBI.Maybe it is time for tryouts at all the other positions.
  15. David Maro
    Eloise loved the team,but when she was gone so was the love.I think everyone in the USA would invest 195 million to have other people give 360 million to give them a stadium.And now they will walk away with about 1.5 billion,life is good if you're last name is Polhad.With any luck when a new owner takes control they waste little time cleaning house.
  16. David Maro
    He deserves to be 1,but now this could be a problem for the team.He said he wants to be a SP.He is great in the BP because he can let it fly.The last time he pitched in a second inning he was lite up.To be a SP you need to be more of a control pitcher not a let it fly guy.
  17. David Maro
    He is not getting traded,two teams said no because of an ankle.He now has feet not foot issues as well.It is a problem the Twins are stuck with for 4 more years.And to make things worse Falvey said that he is involved in who they bring in as hitting coaches.What he should be doing is finding options to solve the problems with his feet,because he is needed on the field.You can't have your highest payed player missing half the season.
  18. David Maro
    Hard to have good defense when the only position in the infield that was consistent was 1st base.Because Julien couldn't hit 6 different 2nd baseman played.And 3rd base was no better when Lewis was lost day one.Only Rocco and Falvey think they have 12 platoon players on the bench.Yes the team had injuries,but pick someone to play a position for more than one game at a time.Moving on to the outfield LF and CF had basically all the same problems.And everyone who fellows this team knows that Buxton would have a tuff time making it through the season.
  19. David Maro
    No one is talking about Ryan here or any where in regards to if or when he will be back.Until he is on the mound actually throwing pitches,he is still a question mark.So at this point in time the starting 5 are the same as they ended the season with.Why is this organization so against having a LH starter.
  20. David Maro
    Why is it that people want to keep dead arm pitchers taking up valuable roster spots.This team needs pitchers who can pitch not waiting around to see if and when they can pitch.With limited payroll like everyone keeps reminding us about how about paying pitchers who pitch not just stand around in the dugout.We also have way to many players doing the same thing.This team should be blowing things up and going a different direction.
  21. David Maro
    The injury excuse really is getting old,both Atlanta and Cleveland lost pitching and players.Guess what they made the playoffs.Both the Mets and Cleveland have rookie managers and are in the playoffs.Rocco has zero imagination,how many times do you have to see a player fail as a PHer.The analytics can't be the end all be all.The organization has a poor plan for success and will not make any improvement with Rocco at the helm.
  22. David Maro
    This whole thing started long ago when Falvey and Levine wanted to make a slash signing Donaldson.He is and was one of the worst signing of all times.After dumping him for a bad defensive catcher and a 3rd baseman who did surprise people.They bring in a SS from a team that cheated to get a championship.Who then ops out of the contract to get more money.To turn around and sign for more money with said team after failing 2 physicals.Now they are stuck with said player for 4 more years and his bad feet.And don't forget about a broken down CF who everyone gets all excited to see play 100 games of 162 game season.Looking at the team payroll that is 40% of the money available.So why is Falvey still aloud to stay,he should have been shown the door long ago.
  23. David Maro
    Team has 3 players with bad backs in AK,Lee and Miranda.So who will be the first to go down with a injury.The problem with that is you favor one thing and create another.If he has a option left have him start the season in St.Paul.He can play 1st there and some LF to see if he can stay on the field.He has missed significant time,so may need that time.I also think he is not a Major League 1st baseman at this time.
  24. David Maro
    With Levine leaving it is probably more in line with a rat leaving a sinking ship. With Francona going with the Reds you will probably see Carl Willis make the move as well once Cleveland is eliminated.That would be a move that would improve their pitching staff.
  25. David Maro
    Don't worry the ticket prices will be going up for the same crap we saw this year next year.Rocco is who he is and manage the way he always has.
