    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. Ricky Vaughn
    Under Falvey pitching development was better. However position player development fell off a cliff.
  3. Ricky Vaughn
    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.

    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. Ricky Vaughn
    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.

    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. Ricky Vaughn
    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. Ricky Vaughn
    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. Ricky Vaughn
    The Twins will DFA him in June with a BA of .163
  10. Ricky Vaughn
    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.

    Underwhelmed

    Festa's injury can not be considered minor. The pen is his best chance of remaining healthy.
  13. Ricky Vaughn
    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.
  14. Ricky Vaughn
    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.
  15. Ricky Vaughn
    Andy McPhail left because he didn't believe small and mid market teams could compete anymore.
  16. Ricky Vaughn
    I have a feeling we wont have a designated closer next year. I think Roccco (he's not going anywhere, unfortunately.) will go with a closer by committee approach. Even with Duran he seemed to want to go this way, but Duran was just to good to do it.
  17. Ricky Vaughn
    I had the book in my hand and then decided to keep watching. Poor choice on my part.
  18. Ricky Vaughn
    One of these outfielders need to be given a first basemen glove and sent to Fort Meyers for instruction.
  19. Ricky Vaughn
    I Think Jeffers will be traded. Its his last year before free agency and considering who his agent is I don't see the Twins being able to extend him. Larnach may be able to be traded to someone for a reliever or a middling prospect. Sad return for a first round pick.
  20. Ricky Vaughn
    Thanks, that makes sense.
  21. Ricky Vaughn
    I think one of Lopez/Ryan will be traded. I prefer to keep Pablo as a mentor to all the young guys. I have one question. I keep seeing people referring to cutting payroll before a lockout in 2027. What difference does it make? If there is a lockout no one is getting paid anyway so it doesn't hurt the owners bottom line.
  22. Ricky Vaughn
    They will just hire Rocco's twin. It may or may not give a bump, but the new hire will reflect Falvey's philosophy on what a manager should be.
  23. Ricky Vaughn
    One start does not constitute a breakthrough. However I do think he can be a mid rotation starter for this team. Not because he has great stuff but because he seems to be learning how to pitch not just throw, and he believes in himself which is half the battle.
  24. Ricky Vaughn
    I would love to see him play in a world series for the Twins. I don't see that happening in the years he has left to play. I hope he approves a trade to a team with a real shot getting him in one. (just not the Yankees)
  25. Ricky Vaughn
    He has pitched very few innings since high school. He needs to learn how to pitch not just throw. It would help him a lot to be teamed up with a good game calling catcher who can teach him how to get hitters out. I don't think St. Paul has that.
