  1. Catcher and bullpen for me. Roll the dice at first. I'd probably move Lewis to first, Lee to third, and start Culpeper, but they won't.
  2. Because that's what they've done. Sign mediocre veterans and not bench them. Are people even watching the same team as me?
  3. How great do they need to be to push their way on? Do you think this team will cut bait with a mediocre veteran? Has this happened ever?
  4. The question is ... In a lost season, why were those relievers on the roster, and not someone with a possible future?
  5. They are 7-2 playing a bad team, and look bad. I can see the booing. As for Carroll, some people have no identity outside work.
  6. Definitely one of my huge issues with this team. Why were guys who will never be starters still pitching in the minors? Why weren't they up?
  7. I'm also very confused over Kiersey and McCusker at this point. Very. Not with Roden and Outman on the 40 man....(or, even w/o them, frankly).
  8. When I sort 50 grade or higher, on teams trying to win next year, and players who are in AAA or MLB ..... I see three players. Colt Emerson (SEA) - 6 games in AAA is not any more really than Culpepper..... Aidan Miller (PHI) - 8 games in AAA is not any more really than Culpepper.... Alex Freeland (LAD) - definitely has AAA and some MLB experience. (since it was stated we shouldn't trust Culpepper because he hasn't played above AA yet).
  9. Not a fan of wrist surgery for a hitter....
  10. Rumor has it McCarthy changed at least one play.... But yes.
  11. I don't know. We have no idea why they played better. But awful teams win sometimes, and great ones lose, so I think it's more likely they just played better. And had three important starters back. But I could be wrong!
  12. Except they didnt trade for 9 7th round picks....but yes.
  13. Every one of these guys will get signed by some team. Are they all bad at this?
  14. Fangraphs list of the best: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-top-50-mlb-free-agents/
  15. Prefer the Phillies deal, but it is hard to say w/o knowing what was offered. I don't think the Twins need a bad defensive OFer at this point (or in the next 5 years).
  16. As I said earlier, I'd have worked hard to deal Hockenson and somewhat to deal Addison....but I get why neither was. I would have gladly dealt a mid round pick for a DB, since this FO SUCKS at drafting.....
  17. Also, this is the org that kept Martin at SS for no reason, and is doing so with Winokur....I don't trust them to get more SS.....
  18. Just say no to HS pitchers early in the draft. The track record over decades is just not good. edit to add: Great writeups as always. Thank you.
  19. I really don't know what he could say, realistically, that would matter at all. I agree with that last part, btw....
  20. What do you expect people to say in things like this?
