    No?

    You think that Martin could play shortstop next year for the Twins, or could play shortstop even this year for the Twins if his elbow issues are cleared up?

    Speak for yourself.

    Twins distilling fear, and serving it in its purest form

    Cory Provus and Kris Atteberry pretending not to know why Philly fans are booing Carlos Correa. I don’t know, man. I know Gladden says stuff he doesn’t believe just to play the game. Maybe that’s was what that was. Why even go there, though.

    People talk about the easy schedule. I don't see it. The good news is they don't have to go on a heater or anything like that, just survive that Cle-Texas stretch & should be ok

    Well that was most recent but unfortunate, but I am counting at least 4 Twins Daily writers, including some honchos, who wrote similar priase (and i will stop counting)

    fewer and better stories, editorial direction, etc

    I like the comparison. Correa is playing at the level of Simmons or Adrianza this season. That’s basically it. Easily understandable that way. It is relevant because Correa failed a physical this offseason and there is a hole in his swing developing.

    Provus said during the broadcast, when they were only a run down, that he felt like the Twins should chase the win anyway and line up Thielbar, Jax, and Duran to keep the game close. Provus might have been right. So I’d say Rocco’s ‘feel for the game’ or lack thereof is still something that will need to be overcome if the Twins are going to make any noise later.

    I have no problem with Lopez, but instead of Arraez, maybe they should have traded Lewis or Lee. They might have gotten some better additional pieces that way. Julien is a great hitter in the making, but no, Julien is not on Arraez’s level. Arraez has been at this for years, while Julien hasn’t had his proverbial second trip through the league yet.

    I guessed Turner, Correa, Bogaerts, but most people are probably already aware that some top shortstops are struggling this year after the free agency carousel last offseason. I like the historical comparison better.

    This is all nice, water cooler talk, like you said. Like I said at the top, I have no idea what Falvey’s vision for this team is. It has surely changed since they were hired on and selected Royce Lewis number 1 overall to be a cornerstone of the franchise. I agree with you about the Correa signing. It could spell their fate or cement their legacy. I have trouble following the prospect talk on this board sometimes. Minor leaguers who have good games are rightly headlined each night, but I think it makes the prospect pool sound better than it really is. Player X dominates one night, player Y steamrolls the next night, and the overall effect on readers is that the farm system is full of players who dominate and steamroll the competition night after night. I don’t see it. Particularly with the pitching, I just don’t see it. No one will care about the front office when the postseason begins. It will be all about the game, players and fans, at that point. 🙂

    speaking for myself, I am just waiting for the postseason to start, but i will try to chime in for you during their next losing streak. 🙂 I cannot see what the front office’s vision for this team is, other than they are going all-in on winning a World Series these next couple seasons, starting last season actually. Their jobs shouldn’t be dependent on whether they win that first series this season. Pablo Lopez is a good piece, but was too costly. ditto Sonny Gray, it seems. Ryan and Ober are success stories. Duran and Jax are capable but don’t have much support. Let’s hope Duran just throws heat in the playoffs and doesn’t try to get too cute. Long term extensions for Paddack and Dobnak cannot be explained with logic. The pitching depth in this organization, after six years, is still very thin. It would be ironic, and sad, but not surprising if their pitching did them in in the playoffs this October, similar to how some of us wondered about the bullpen in 2019. Some of us like to play GM as part of being a fan, I guess. If the Twins win, then Twins Territory wins and we all win. Don’t confuse lifelong skepticism expressed on a message board with something other than what it is. We are all rooting!

    Has he said why that is?
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They are a universe apart. Start by asking how many non-player employees hire agents to represent them.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think you are conflating business operations with baseball operations.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Should’ve asked for 4 runs! Lol
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    try searching Jamie Quirk, any random at bat from his 1984 season
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    those Quirky cheap radios
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He seems like a good guy and hard worker, and probably aware that everyone knows he strikes out too much
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    2 runs in five innings for Ober. Not bad, all things considered.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The website says Gallo just struck out. That can’t be right, I assume there is a glitch
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Neither! MLB website
