    This says it all

    I have no insight into the front office workings, however I have an idea. Is it possible they were told no net increase in payroll. I'm not calling the Pohlads cheap here, but why would they approve an increase in payroll for an under performing team. Attendance is down, and they are performing much like last year without the same number of injuries. Doing nothing is not like this front office so this is the only thing that makes any sense to me, and if its right I can't really blame the Pohlads.

    I would like to see a couple new faces in September, especially in the pen. However it will be people coming off the injured list who fill those spots.

    Always wished him well, and still do, but I'm afraid his time has come and gone.
  5. Ricky Vaughn
    Unless he falls back into the black hole he was in earlier this year I think they pick up the option. The only other thing that could make them let him go is if the Pohlads hold or cut payroll next year and they cant fit him in.

    My best guess is its 1 less at bat he can hit into a double play.
  7. Ricky Vaughn
    I've been wondering about him. Nice interview, thanks for doing it.

    Trading one of them should be considered. They will probably only try to keep one of them for 24 so try to get something for the one they are going to let walk. If I was the GM it would Gray (thank god I'm not) as Maeda has looked good after coming back and has his tommy john out of the way, and Gray is probably due for one. I think the return could be better than expected due to demand.

    Their is no missing piece. Its more like a missing team. If your never in the lead why do you need a closer?

    This team is probably not going to make any noise in the playoffs, so make a couple trades to reload for next year without completely ruining our chances to win the division this year. Trade one of the starting pitchers that are going to be free agents and one of the lH corner outfielders For a controllable RH outfielder that hits left handed pitching and a reliable reliever. DFA Gallo if no one wants him and bring up Keuchel to finnish out the year.

    Agree with this 100%. The same can be said for Popkins, he's putting forth a hitting philosophy the FO believes in. I think the problem is they want all the hitters to take the same approach. Now, most front offices have a way they believe things should be done and the coaches need to preach the company line. For better or worse.

    Not expecting much, but you never know.

    All the hitters have strike out problems. Does anyone really believe this organization can help them?

    Agree with chepittit19 100%. I always thought Kepler would become a star. He just looks like a player, but I don't think it will happen now, at least not with the Twins.

    As per Michael Rand of the Tribune, Pagon ranks 1128th of 1133 pitchers since 2021 by WPA. Who's 1133 you ask. Alex Colome of course, and Trevor McGill is right between them at 1130th. How incompetent does a front office have to be to have 3of the 6 worst pitchers in MLB the last 2.5 years?
  17. Ricky Vaughn
    No discussion of his defensive ability. As a catcher that's more important than hitting a few home runs.
  18. Ricky Vaughn
    "A flop at the Tropp." Bremer after the last out. You know things are bad when says something negative.
  19. Ricky Vaughn
    He been a nice find so far and his control has been better of late, but its a long season. we'll see if hes been real or fools gold after the season.
  20. Ricky Vaughn
    He almost broke his neck yesterday. I don't think you can say anything is settled, he seems to have Buxton disease.
  21. Ricky Vaughn
    When Maeda comes back go to a 6 man rotation at least a couple times through. Give everyone a little more rest. Odds are by then someone will need an IL stint or something will happen to resolve the situation.
  22. Ricky Vaughn
    If he's healthy put him in the field at least 1/2 the time.
  23. Ricky Vaughn
    Not to worried about his hitting. Signing him made complete sense last winter, and I was surprised and happy they did. This team has spent a lot more on riskier contracts. Lopez getting $75 million for one. Someone who has great stuff but has never turned in results to match, and has had recurrent shoulder problems. I think this is the one to worry about.
  24. Ricky Vaughn
    Put Buxton back in the field! The team is only getting about 30% of his value this way. 80-90 games of him playing the field is better than is better than what were getting now. At least try 2 in the field then a day at DH, try something to get him out there.
  25. Ricky Vaughn
    His defense is spectacular. On offense it seems that he only hits when the game has already been won or lost. That has been true last year and this year, so why not at least move him down in the order.
