  1. It would take a lot to pry away Rodriguez. The Twins have a lot of pitching, but if they were to trade away Lopez or Ryan, Lodolo might become more appealing. As things sit right now they have a couple Lodolo’s on the roster and really need cheap hitting, so this trade doesn’t make the most sense.
  2. I’m not upset about the young players, I’m upset about the years of dithering, followed by gutting the team and now dithering some more. This all could have been done incrementally… i don’t know yet on what the direction is almost a month into the offseason? I don’t buy it. do the deuce or stand up
  3. Kendrys Morales
  4. Just wait til we’re waffling on whether or not to take the bulging cans.
  5. From a service time perspective, a month (or whatever that threshold is) can be an extra year on the backside. if he really is that guy, and this really is the Pohlad Pocket Protectors… you get that extra year
  6. I’m a henchman for this Doctor Evil. It’s a union gig, good benefits, pension. Sure it requires moral flexibility, but the pay is steady.
  7. Important lesson for all of us.
  8. It has to be approved by the owners still, right? I wonder what pitfalls might still be ahead
  9. Depth? Or quality depth? they certainly have volume of players who can theoretically play the outfield in AAA and the majors.
  10. Most seasons he plays 80-90 games, so I’m taking the under at 3. Sports books wouldn’t see the line at 3, they’d set it at 1.9 or 2.2, something like that. No ties…
  11. Robert Frost? Or Robert Johnson? Is it bad that I hope for Johnson?
  12. Hang on to those babies! Imagine how rare they’ll become in a hundred years, just like baseball card collections. They could sitting on several 1943 Lincoln Wheats!
  13. Yup! If there was a holdover to keep, it’s Maki
  14. So Rocco gets blamed when the players are bad but doesn’t get credit when the players are good? The ball wasn’t only juiced for Rocco, it was juiced for the other team’s manager too. Will Shelton get at least a somewhat objective chance?
  15. After way too much pondering on this subject, I think the bench coach does matter relative to the manager, as much as the manager. I think Tingler was a bad fit for Baldelli because neither were in-game tacticians. If neither your bench coach or your manager are tacticians, then you will get regularly outmaneuvered by the opposing team who will have a tactician on the bench. by my little bit of research into Shelty, it was Molitor who was the tactician and Shelty the big picture guy (though his rep as far as I can tell is more tactically capable than Baldelli). That might make a Tingler type bench coach a bad fit for Shelton. Hopefully the next bench coach is a better complement to Shelton such as a coordinator/chess player type to make sure Shelton doesn’t paint himself into the platoon corner as Rocco did night after night.
  16. how could you forget!?!?! SCOTT ULLGER (coach, Minnesota Twins):first time he slid headfirst into the bag, I thought about saying something. But, really, is it a coach’s place to say something about that? I don’t know.
  17. That bullpen is likely bottom 5 if not worst bullpen in baseball. A decent 7th inning guy and a 7 prayers does not a plan make.
  18. Falvey’s thought bubble as he reads TD: “improve the team by getting more athletic talent….”
