  1. Hes got the power already, I think his "hard" swing is why he strikes out so much. If he'd square up more and tamper down his leg kick he'd be more productive.
  2. A trade package should net some serious talent in return. If he decides that he wants to finally compete for a World Series title he will ask for a trade. The main trade destination would be Atlanta, GA. Some experienced players could be returned.
  3. Why Lawyerson? Its not a surprise he was claimed quickly. We got a front office that is useless.
  4. Probably also came down to money. Usually always does. Joe and Co. don't seem to know how to make a profitable investment or structure into a team. If they want to make money you need to win games. Or at least be fun to watch. If we did this after last season maybe we might have had different success and people would have come to watch. At least most of the other MN teams bring in decent coaches.
  5. Hopefully the Pohlands will sell after the CBA lockout eventually happening. Then the new owners will give a damn and make some real changes. Scott Servais would have brought some stability, Flaherty and Rowson would have brought some change, we just went to Baldellis mentor and who he modeled his game after. Forever changing lineups and substitutions.
  6. Was hoping for Servais. His time in Seattle was their best pitching years. But I guess they just wanted more of the same instead of something new!
  7. He should absolutely work on his speed. He's got good bat to ball skills, just needs to get a little more athletic!
  8. If he can add more velocity to his fastball hed be even better. Most of the year hovering around 90mph is not ideal to have success in the majors.
  9. A lot of the moves could have waited till this off-season. Because there's more time to negotiate the returns are better. If we trade Joe it better be for multiple top 100 players or 2 top 100 and one or two depth pieces that can be used right away. Just not another roden or outman.
  10. If he was on a Cal Raleigh schedule, meaning 4-5 games and one day off then he'd have had an even better season. I just didnt get Roccos justification to have the catcher(s) only catch one day rotations. He's obviously our best bet at the everyday catcher. With Gasper as backup. If we extend him for 3-4 years it'll work with the timeline of Tait.
  11. Lee shouldn't be on the list. Yes he struggled at times but it was his first full season. If he makes some swing changes this off-season he can come back better. Same with Julien. Julien had been swinging a better bat when he was getting more consistent playing time.
  12. You add all of them. Might end up having to release some other players to make room but its a must. All have very good potential. And several are from trades that would be wasted not to add them.
  13. Even as he proved to be a very good lhp hitter Baldelli would bench him. He had a more productive season than Wallner. Less HRs but more hits and RBIs. The constant platooning of him though would make him cool off when hed be on a hot streak.
  14. Hopefully with the CBA negotiations teams will have a minimum and maximum salary cap. We're well below the average salary, when we did have the average salary we made it past the wild card round and into the divisional. The league should have forced Joe to sell the team.
