  1. I agree with much of what you say; however, I think you understate troubles of the Twins bullpen. Sands has been, at best, mediocre this season and Topa has been decent. They can not be counted on as front line relief pitchers.
  2. My fantasy 3rd baseman has tanked and I just picked up Correa. Go figure.
  3. To your point, I would like to understand where the debt came from. It is not remotely clear that it came from true baseball operations.
  4. Very nice job of capturing how many of us feel. The Twins needed a reset, but the commentary from Pohlad and Falvey has been downright insulting.
  5. I want to believe that and I am a big fan of Buxton. That said, I don't know that Buxton knows much about building a baseball team. His loyalty is super impressive, but this feels like an expression of loyalty vs. what's good for the team.
  6. Because Falvey built a team of designated hitters that are poor in baseball fundamentals. That is on Falvey.
  7. I hope like heck the Twins don't trade Ryan. I have little hope for Lopez as the Twins actually have to pay him.
  8. I like Correa. The Twins were no longer going to win with him and his contract was a barrier to retooling the roster.
  9. The Arraez trade was a fantastic trade for the Twins. They have a top notch starting pitcher for a singles hitting dh.
  10. I 100% agree. I would get Kaelen to St. Paul straight away and give him every opportunity in Spring Training to win the job.
  11. The Twins could not possibly reload their roster with Correa's full contract. It was an aircraft carrier sized anchor around their collective necks. Whether Correa is/was cooked as a top player, he was not going to get the Twins anywhere. I won't miss his insincere ways nor his grounding into double plays.
  12. I hear you, but the Twins rarely jump a guy two levels and if he is moved to St. Paul, he has to play since he is our best bet at SS
  13. I'm between a thumbs and and thumbs down. I agree about 26 as a development year and 27 as a likely washout season. That said, I hope the Twins don't trade our best starters.
  14. I agree and the Twins were never going to get a lot for Stewart, although Outman is a joke. I also like the Jax trade in that the Twins have a pretty good shot of having a regular 4/5 starter from it. Let's not forget, Jax has not pitched as well this year. I don't like the Varland trade for many of the reasons stated; however, i would also add, that it was probably not a good business decision from a fan engagement perspective.
  15. thumbs down for the porcelain body comment. He has been injured frequently.
  16. I fully agree. Unfortunately, it seems like the Twins bring their players along so cautiously.
  17. It's certainly not wrong to keep Culpepper and Jenkins at Wichita. Culpepper is 23 and I would like to see him moved up this season to St. Paul. He gives good reason to believe he is the SS of the future for the Twins. Some seasoning at AAA this year could bring an outside shot at making the Twins out of spring training next year, but more likely later.
  18. Of course no one wanted him. It's wishful thinking on my part. Bottom line, is that he is wasting a roster spot with the Twins. DFA
  19. It would be pretty surprising if Falvey keeps his job. I hope this is not wishful thinking; however, the current state of the Twins is, for better or worse, 100% on Falvey. He built the team that failed. It's hard to imagine someone smart enough to be a billionaire would keep someone who failed so spectacularly. I'm probably not smart enough...and definitely not cut throat enough to be a billionaire!
  20. It's just plain enfuriating that the Twins are carrying those guys on the ML roster when they are not players to either audition or build around. I throw Julien into the same "why" mix.
  21. Julien got a nice double that should have been a triple yesterday, and the day before, he blew a double play ball. I wish he had been traded so the Twins could stop wasting roster spots on the guy. The best case scenario for Julien is he is an adequate hitter with no position. The Twins already have plenty of those guys.
