    Wow- what a condescending jerk! You must be so proud of yourself!

    Do those stats take into consideration that your hitters are going up against the ace of the opposing team? I highly doubt it. A runner on 3rd has more ways to score than just a hit. Passed ball, wild pitch, infield or outfield error, sac fly, suicide or safe squeeze. I'll take my chances on 1 out and a runner on 3rd. Especially when my team is facing the other teams ace and our bats are cold.

    So Shelton laments the Twins were 1-12 with runners in scoring position. Hey Derek, our only run was scored on a sacrifice fly. We had runners on first and second with no outs 3 times. Maybe if you would have played some small ball and actually bunted runners to 2nd and 3rd we might have had a chance. But no, let's swing away and hit into double play after double play. I was hoping when Rocco was fired we would finally get a manager who knew how to manage a game. I guess not.

    Hey, what more can you expect when every writer of most every article on this site want to jettison Lewis, Lee, Wallner, Jeffries etc. etc..., Of course they aren't going to provide the entire picture.

    So let me get this straight. The Twins supposedly have one of the best farm systems in baseball, consistently ranked in the 10 or better. We traded away 10 players last year for more prospects. Now you want us to trade away our best pitcher for even more prospects. Is the goal to maintain a top level farm system at the cost of the MLB club? Hang on to Ryan and let’s bring up some of these youngsters and see what they can do. We don’t need more prospects.

    OMG- Wallner sucks, Lee sucks, Lewis sucks, Buxton sucks, everybody on the roster sucks! Enough of this nonsense! Enough of all the stats and analyzing things to death. Before we toss everybody into the trash let’s see what a new manager with a new perspective and vision can do to get the most out of these players. Lord knows Baldelli hadn’t a clue how to develop players. Maybe, just maybe Shelton does.

    I've gotta laugh at most of the posts on this site. A few years back everybody was singing the praises of Lewis and Lee and now, after just a few years under a horsecrap manager everybody is giving up on them. Let's play them every day and keep their place in the batting order consistent and see what happens. Good grief! Once again all those analytics are replacing common sense. Oh my, bat angle at contact is 2* too high. Putting the ball in play but not being rewarded with hits is absolutely horrible. Over and over things are being analyzed way too much. Enough of the nonsense.

    Seriously? You’ve got to be joking. Trade Lewis for an inadequate defensive shortstop whose batting numbers aren’t much better than Lewis- that’s absolutely crazy! Lewis has much more upside.

    If Shelton manages the same way Baldelli did there is no need to wonder who the #3 hitter is because the batting order changes almost every day. There is no consistency - it's all based on analytics. Seems like Shelton is in the same mindset based on his use of over 150 different lineups per season.

    What’s your problem with Gladden?
  11. Maybe Next Year
    Here's another name I would love to see interviewed - Dan Gladden.

    Once again Falvey shows his brilliance! What an incredible move.

    Last year 3 of the 6 AL teams that made the playoffs had a LOWER payroll than the Twins. It’s not about payroll. It’s all about player development and solid coaching. Something Rocco never brought to the table with his BS analytics. Don’t agree- tell me when the last time the NY Yankees won a World Series with their $240 million payroll. I truly believe we have more talent on this team than people realize. With the proper coaching staff stressing fundamentals on defense as well as at the plate I believe we could be very competitive. For all you naysayers - when was the last time our hitters were taught to take an outside pitch to the opposite field instead of pulling the ball!

    Yes, sure, by all means trade them. Then kiss any chance of contending for the next 4-5 years goodbye. Have fun attracting any free agents to a team that will be destined to have multiple back to back losing seasons. Even worse, as long as Baldelli and his coaching staff are still in charge you can forget about developing any young players acquired in trades. Just expect more of the same, poor hitting, horrible defense and overall sloppy undisciplined play.

    Perhaps Baldelli and Maki should quit calling pitches from the dugout and let the catcher call the game. Seems to me the catcher has a better feel for the pitchers stuff that particular day than Baldelli’s computer does.
  16. Maybe Next Year
    He’s with Oakland and pretty much only DH’s because he is mediocre if not poor in the field. I don’t consider that solid player development.
  17. Maybe Next Year
    I couldn’t agree more. How many position players have come up from the minors and actually panned out during Baldelli’s 7 years? Name just one. Baldelli cannot develop players, period.
  18. Maybe Next Year
    Why is it every talented player they bring up from the minors turns out to be underdeveloped and expendable - one word, Baldelli! The worst manager in all of baseball.
  19. Maybe Next Year
    When a team is struggling to produce runs you need a manager who knows how to manufacture one. Sadly, Baldelli hasn't a clue.
  20. Maybe Next Year
    The Twins don't desperately need position players- they desperately need a new manager who can develop the talent we have. We supposedly have the 2nd best farm system in the majors. Why is it when we have been calling up those kids the past 8 years they don't perform at the ML level? Baldelli and staff.
  21. Maybe Next Year
    Ridiculous article. Lee has been moved all over the infield and never given a chance to play ss day in and day out. The number of games he has played at ss at the major league level cannot be more than 15. To judge him on these few games is absolutely ridiculous. Play him every day at short and watch his confidence build both in the field and at the plate. Enough of the Rocco platooning bs. Let the kid play every day and watch him become an exceptional ss.

    After the lack of hustle shown by Julien I would have sent him back down to the minors immediately after the game. As for Kiersey, how in the world can a “major leaguer” not know how to bunt. His form was atrocious. Barrel up! Not down. Don’t punch at the ball, let it come to you. I blame Baldelli and the rest of the organization for the lack of basic fundamentals this ball club has. It starts with Baldelli as he should be preaching the teaching of basic fundamentals to all of his minor league coaches as well as working on them at the ML level.

    They also need to find a manager who knows how to manage! The fact that 10 players on the 26 man roster were traded tells you that yes, indeed, we did have some talent. The problem is that we have a manager who is incompetent and has no clue how to use players properly.
  24. Maybe Next Year
    I know I won’t be there until Falvey and Baldelli are gone. For the last 40 years I have averaged 17 games per year. No longer. Trading these pitchers for prospects who our manager has no idea how to develop was the last straw. This organization is pathetic.
  25. Maybe Next Year
    8 years of Falvey and Baldelli and zippo! Incredible mismanagement from the front office to the playing field!
