  1. For may of those years the Twins were the only team in the central really trying to compete. So winning a couple division titles was not a sign of success.
  2. Under Falvey pitching development was better. However position player development fell off a cliff.
  3. They've also proven you can't do it alone, which is why even a 99th percentile outcome for Jenkins (first-ballot Hall of Famer, like Mauer) would require others above him on this list to support the cause. Not to be picky but this statement makes no sense for someone ranked #1.
  4. This front office isn't going to sign anybody with more than 20 innings of MLB experience, and wont spend more the the minimum on them.
  5. Not sure if signing him is a good idea or not. There's not really a place for him to play other than DH. But didn't he play with a bad thumb last year? That could explain a lot of his struggles in 25.
  6. I have nothing against Bell, hes ok if used properly. As long hes hitting in the bottom half of the line up and is the dh at least 1/2the time. My problem is after the trade deadline last year the message was we're going to get more athletic, faster, more aggressive, and a better fielding team. How does this move advance that plan?
  7. Mayo, yes Mountcastle is a hard no. If we're going short term and him and France were the two choices I'll take France.
  8. He would be a nice addition but probably will be to expensive. I'm afraid the Twins will look for a right handed option that can platoon with Cody C.
  9. The Twins will DFA him in June with a BA of .163
  10. Its not the trade of Eeles, I know he will never be anything but light hitting utility player at best. Why would anyone trade for a catcher who hits a buck fifty and pay him 1.8 mil. If thats what they had in mind why not bring back Vazquez.
  11. Festa's injury can not be considered minor. The pen is his best chance of remaining healthy.
  12. I don't see the comparison. The Pirates have been winning 65-75 games a year for what. the last 15 years . They compare more with the St Louis Browns. The Twins have a way to go before reaching that level.
  13. My guess is the Twins will hire The manager of their Dominican summer league team as manager and a former cricket player from India as bench coach, in a bid to find an underutilized resource that displays Joe Poulad's visionary leadership.
  14. Andy McPhail left because he didn't believe small and mid market teams could compete anymore.
