    Hopefully you can see the irony of whining and complaining about whining and complaining.

    Hahaha sure, sure, the Dodgers are one Matt Wallner away from competing lol and they'd gladly dump their one of their World Series heroes for a guy whose value to date is derived by hitting solo home runs in 6-1 losses when the team is out of the race by June. Brilliant. Why aren't any of these teams knocking down the Twins' door trying to get him then? Again, Wallner last year was barely replacement level. I appreciate that you like him, but just because you say dramatic things like "Every. Single. Team" doesn't make them true.

    Is wRC+ the only stat that matters? As others have mentioned he's essentially racked up his numbers in low leverage situations. I think Wallner is fine. I don't get the desire to either turn him into the worst player in Twins history or an MVP candidate though. Not every player needs to be a superstar. He's a 1 tool player, but it's a valuable tool. Put some high OBP guys in front of him in the lineup and let him swing away. I doubt "every single team in baseball" is frantically coming up with trades to find room for Matt Wallner and his 0.6 WAR in the lineup though.

    Larnach for Skenes, let's do it!

    You and Chief make a great point here - fans are not monolithic. If there was a "one size fits all" to get butts in the seats, teams would have discovered it by now. Just like a baseball team needs to be able to win games in different ways in the playoffs, organizations need to be able to attract fans in different ways. Personally a .500 season doesn't get me excited, and given the choice between endless mediocrity and boom/bust I'll take the latter. And with this roster in particular I think 85 wins (starting to sniff the playoffs) would require historic overperformance and luck. But you are right, nothing is guaranteed and the risk is that the Pohlads could turn a 1-2 year rebuild into a lost decade a la the post-91 Twins.

    10 minutes into spring training and the baseball gods tell T3 the same thing all available data is telling him: "you aren't competing this year". Will T3 listen? 10 minutes into spring training and the baseball gods punish the FO for not trading Lopez in the offseason. He literally has zero value now, and may not ever have much value again. There is a lesson to be learned here. Will T3 learn it?

    Can we rebuild now?

    I think Zips was the one that projected 2 WAR for DaShawn Kiersey last year.

    Nice, Mr. Bonnes. Nice.

    "Vitriol is bad! Also I hate Dan Gladden so much that I made him my username and avatar and he must be fired immediately."

    The Twins have the type of offense where "1-9 hitters drive in 60-75 runs each"? They had 3 players drive in 60 runs last year. One got to 65. The Twins have a "decent bench" ????? Pass me the blunt bro!
  12. Woof Bronzer
    I am extremely curious as to the 20-24 offenses you think will be worse than the Twins'.
  13. Woof Bronzer
    Yes, but did you know his dad is a coach?
  14. Woof Bronzer
    Do Lee's 189 career MLB games count?
  15. Woof Bronzer
    Fair enough and you're right, this season SHOULD be about giving guys like Roden a shot. I'd honestly be much more interested in the season if that was the plan.
  16. Woof Bronzer
    How should we draw conclusions if not from his performance? It's not like he's a raw 18 year old. He's 26.
  17. Woof Bronzer
    Or the fact that he was absolutely terrible last year.
  18. Woof Bronzer
    This should be labeled as sponsored content. I hope the Twins paid you for this.
  19. Woof Bronzer
    We get it, you hate it here.

    Or maybe, like many things in life, it isn't black and white. The Pohlads definitely handcuffed Falvey at times, but look around the league (ahem, Milwaukee) - plenty of GMs are finding success with smaller payrolls. Heck, just look around the AL Central. Falvey had 9 years. That's more runway than most owners would give a GM with so little to show for it (1 ALDS game win). And Falvey had the tremendous fortune of being in an extremely, at times historically, weak division. Having the largest payroll in a weak division should lead to more success than 1 playoff appearance in 5 years. Falvey deserves part of the blame. As do the Pohlads.

    As a fellow member of Team Rebuild this is where I am at. When T3 says "we have to be good in 2026" he means they have to make a bunch of money in 2026. And T3 thinks a rebuild will hurt the gate.

    Tom first appeared at a press conference (with Joe) back in October. I suspect he's been involved since the trade deadline/end of season.
  23. Woof Bronzer
    Ope, Dave St Peter actually already did this in September 2023. Tough Talkin' Tom has gestured toward fan-blaming too so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts when his "competitive" team is out of it by June 1.
  24. Woof Bronzer
    This....is a fascinating thing to say with the roster they have.
  25. Woof Bronzer
    Yeah the 2 likely scenarios here seem to be a) Falvey snapped and did a "FU, FU, FU, you're cool, FU I'm out"...or b) he said something like "if I don't get more resources to do my job I might have to consider my long term future" and Tommy the Terminator snapped and called him on his bluff.
