    Suggestion number 2 is a must. Stop swinging at crap; his bat-to-ball skills have become a liability in the MLB. Just because you can get your bat to the ball doesn’t mean you always should. Miranda was similar in this way. Can he go to an agility camp? Lee will never be a speedster, but if he can increase his range, even a foot in either direction, he becomes a much better defender. His slow footedness also turns many of his should be doubles into singles.

    la Velle Neal 3 in the Strib: Add former Mariners manager Scott Servais to the list of candidates expected to interview for Twins manager, according to @leneal3.bsky.social. Other candidates include Nick Punto, James Rowson, Derek Shelton, Ramón Vázquez and Vance Wilson. https://www.startribune.com/twins-managerial-search-expands-to-include-vance-wilson-scott-servais/601497809

    If we assume the rest in the off season helps him get right, then the $4.6 for a SP3 or SP4 is a bargain. Bailey from 2022-24 was a solid starter. I believe that pitcher is still in there.

    Zoll barely talked at the presser to announce the Rocco firing. Falvey shouldn’t be the head of both baseball and operations. He is doing the job that used to be split between himself, St Peter, and Levine.
  6. thelanges5
    Falvey needs help. No one should be POBO and running the business side. He’s in over his head.
  7. thelanges5
    I agree, you gotta keep him. If it were my money, I’d do my best to extend him. They say they wanna be competitive and that just isn’t true, especially if they trade Ryan and or Lopez. Actions speak louder than words.

    Correa salary dump is complete.

    So they do have a list. Hope the BoSox grant permission to interview.

    Would love to have a manager that challenges upwards. Organizations need people that share their ideas and voice their opinions. I’m not sure that is something that Falvey and the Pohlads value.

    Maybe some of you, like me, have been wondering about the rule 5 players that the Twins would like to protect. TFTwins recently posted a video on this subject. Great info and analysis. I found it very helpful and hopefully you will as well.

    Easy keeper!

    Wish we had a clue about what they were thinking up there at 1 Twins Way. Falvey and his word salads don’t give me a lot of confidence or hope in his ability to navigate this “right sizing” of the business.

    Larnach and Lee are slow AF. They should work agility as much as hitting in the off season. Larnach could also grab a 1B mitt so the FO can spend any $$ they do have in other areas.

    Thanks for the write up but no thanks on Cabrera.

    Falvey - the master of talking a lot without saying ****. His quotes here about the hiring of the manager and not knowing what payroll looks like until he meets with the owners? He’s the GD prez of OPs and Baseball. I don’t expect him to give specifics, but by avoiding answering the questions at all, he inspires no confidence in his leadership.
  17. thelanges5
    The most important thing is the transactions that Falvey and Zoll make, no matter what the number is. I don’t have a lot of faith in those two right now.
  18. thelanges5
    I the first article Tom (Joes brother) tells us that we shouldn’t question their financial investment in the team but maybe the way/where that $$ was invested. Promoting Falvey after the 2024 collapse should definitely be questioned.
  19. thelanges5
    Competition will be fierce. How does the Twins job rank amongst these openings? Angels Braves Giants Nationals Orioles Rangers Rockies Twins
  20. thelanges5
    I’m not surprised by the Rocco news. He lasted longer than most would with his track record. 2019 and 2023 were fun and he’ll be remembered for those seasons. The biggest surprise is that Falvey and Zoll got promoted after the 2024 collapse. They built the rosters that Rocco was managing. Falvey as the president of both the baseball and business side? Tom Pohlad said we shouldn’t question their investment in the team but we should question their decision making.

    Interesting take from TFTwins. Click the link to watch.
  22. thelanges5
    Promote Brian Dinkelman.
  23. thelanges5
    Torii Hunter or Skip Schumaker?
  24. thelanges5
    Best part of the game: SWR - great finish to the season Worst part of the game: Outman - 4 ugly Ks and where was that throw going on the walkoff?
  25. thelanges5
    He’d be the first Twin to get to 30 hr and 25 steals.
