    No matter how things shake out this is a last place team in the central. The starting rotation doesn't look good with Ryan already having an issue in the spring and Ober's velocity way down. And Zebby and SWR still not looking like they want a spot. Then looking at the BP not much to see there either. Hopefully with Buxton back for the last week of camp he can help get players and fans fired up. And getting excited about 26 and 27 year old players trying to move up to the big club is a waste of time.

    How about the fact that he is now in his 30's and it may be wise to play him in the field a game or two less every week. Using him to DH for one or two games when not in the field will keep him engaged.

    The biggest problem with the roster is bad defense at almost every position. Buxton in CF seems to be the only position to count on. And then some people want to move him to one of the corner positions. Watching both Martin and Keaschall play is not good in the field. They will have to hit and steal bases to have value. And relying on the HR is this teams montra. How about trying something new,some hit and run and hit behind the runner. In some circles they call that playing baseball.

    Way to much emphasis on 98-100 mph fastballs when 95 will do. It's called pitching and too many are throwers. If they put the pitch where the catcher calls for that's pitching. And with the ABS coming this year things may be different. You probably will not see the pitchers staring down the umpires like in the past. Watching SWR he would lose his ability to throw strikes if the umpire didn't give him a pitch or two. Both Abel and Bradley have to work more on location than mph to be effective.

    What helps a pitchers era is a team playing good defense and this team doesn't do that. Yes they have a CF who does that,but pretty much every other position is a question mark. So if you're pitcher gets 7 SO's the defense is responsible for the other 20 outs. Now the other problem is can this team start playing baseball on the offensive side and not always swing for the fences. Last time I looked you have to score at least 1 more run than the opponent to win. It could be a really long season and time to give some of the young guys playing time.

    Don't want to throw cold water on the situation but need to sit Ryan down and ask him not to pitch in WBC. As of a short time ago Lopez will be getting a second opinion,but doesn't look good. Hopefully one of the many arms brought in will step up to fill his spot.

    Time to get real here Stewart wasn't going to be a Twin in 26. You can only have so many surgeries before you can't come back. They took a flyer on Outman and it doesn't look good right now. This team has many more issues than weather 1 player is going to be on the roster or not. The infield is full of questions and needs answers,the OF corners have nothing but questions. And looking at the BP that has been filled with a mix of arms that may or may not help.
  8. David Maro
    It doesn't matter what system you bring in to develop pitchers or players its all about coaching. Falvey coming from Cleveland with a system is fine,but I see their success in pitching is Carl Willis. He is someone who has been there done that. A suit and tie's job should be get the best coaching possible. The teams with strong SP seem to have coaching that pitched in the majors. It's kind of like they say catchers seem to make good managers.
  9. David Maro
    For Tom Polhad to say and think this roster is going to be competitive is dreaming. The defense up the middle is below average with a stone mite at 2nd and a slow to react SS in the infield. Not sure who will play corner OF positions. The SP only has 2 that should and may give you 6+ innings in Lopez and Ryan. As of now no one can say what Ober will bring. SWR,Festa and Matthew's have not shown they have the ability to go more than 5 innings. Moving to the BP which is a empty cupboard that will be asked to pitch multiple innings in game after game. And yes we haven't talked about Bradley and Abel who will be probably start the season in the BP have not shown they can throw strikes. As for the catching position with Jeffers trying to catch more games when he has shown he brakes down. This team will finish in 4th or even last place in the division.
  10. David Maro
    If Joe is gone and Tom is in why not make changes. And just maybe Tom didn't like the manager choice and the last couple of moves made. I mean signing another veteran catcher and a marginal 1st baseman when the BP is a empty cupboard. And the signing of T Rogers is a head scratcher. His brother is the one who still has something left in the tank not him. And all the talk about the payroll is getting old. With the CBA coming up I believe baseball understands a cap is needed. It has been and always will be baseball the last one making changes.
  11. David Maro
    It looks like both the Twins and the Vikings realize that they're GM's were the problem. Saw Falvey was told hit the road on MLB,then saw on Fox1 that Mensah was also shown the door. And yes Falvey was made President of Operations,but he was the one who blow up the BP at the deadline. And looking at what the BP looks like going into ST there is work to be done. That means the payroll is going to have to either go up or more trades will be needed.
  12. David Maro
    Let's be realistic it doesn't matter who is playing if you're BP is empty. As of now they have 4 arms there. The SP after Ryan and Lopez find it difficult to make 5 innings. And yes Ober is still there,but he hasn't looked right for awhile. It looks like they think Festa,Abel and Bradley will be BP pieces. Looking at the division this is a last place team hoping that things go wrong for the others.
  13. David Maro
    A lot of wishful thinkers here,even if they keep what they have no BP. This is still a 4th or 5th place team in the central. Their infield is poor defensively and who will be playing the corner OF positions. It might be time for Buxton,Ryan and Lopez to have a meeting with Tom Polhad going around Falvey to see just what the plan is.
  14. David Maro
    Who cares,he's still a Polhad and Falvey is still in the organization as well. And he replaced the manager with a Rocco discipline.
  15. David Maro
    Signed another bandaid to play 1st again. The infield is shaping up to be the worst in years. The money spent should have been used on the empty BP.
  16. David Maro
    Got to enjoy all the talk about Lewis being this and going to be that. How about the fact that he has yet to stay healthy for a season. He is now the replacement for Buxton on IL year after year. It is probably time to see if he is still playing in July and if so trade him then. This team competing for the Central is laughable,it's time to rebuild.
  17. David Maro
    Listened to Falvey at the Winter meetings blow smoke up everyone's butt. He should resign and go into politics with all the nonsense he was telling MLB.
  18. David Maro
    Let's be honest here,this organization has become a laughing stock and is now going to be dismantled bit by bit. Anytime Equity Co get involved the end is not pretty. They sell everything of value,in this case it will be trading the players with the most money owed. I guess we will see just how the Winter meetings play out.
  19. David Maro
    Let's see where the 40 man is after the winter meetings. But Outman should be outside of the 40 man. They need a RH bat as always off the bench to play the OF. Martin is a RH Arraez and they need a bat that has more power. Under this FO the corner outfield positions are a everyday mystery.
  20. David Maro
    The game is won up the middle,Lee has limited range and Keaschall has a stone mite. The other problem is bad ownership and FO. Blow the whole thing up,bring on the youth because this team as is will be in last place anyway.
  21. David Maro
    You can't grade someone until the start of the season. In the first week of the season if he is rotating players all over the diamond like Rocco that will tell a story no fan wants to see. We also have to see if and who he brings in as coaches. That will also show how much Falvey has his hand in things. Changes have to come and that includes coaching and philosophy. The Tigers, Guardians and Royals aren't going anywhere.
  22. David Maro
    They will be moving Ryan this off season because you can't have a unhappy player in the dugout. His personality is close to Sonny Gray and wouldn't be good. He is not going to waste another year pitching for a last place team. The money owed to Lopez is a problem,but his personality is not a issue for the team. If you trade Jeffers with no one to be primary catcher that's a bad idea. He's bat is not the only thing that will be missed. With all the young SP who he has worked with would have to see change. Again this all comes back to the bad ownership and clueless FO. It will be another unwatchable season of Twins baseball.
  23. David Maro
    We keep beating a dead horse,the more things change the more they stay the same. The only change was the face it's still the same ownership and FO. This is a last place team in a winnable division. No one knows who will be left on this roster by the time ST comes around and they blow smoke all they want.
  24. David Maro
    Instead of bringing fans out this is chasing them away. It will also give players a reason to want out. On a scale of 1-10 this is a 2 at best. We get to see more unwatchable baseball no thank you.
  25. David Maro
    If he is able to make changes in the coaching staff maybe things will change. If not nothing will change and he is a puppet to the FO. I guess we'll see in a short period of time. Because Falvey will show his hand in that regard.
