The theory is something is up with the ball in much of the minors, as numbers are up across the board. Even with that, great numbers! Would love to see Fedko up and Outman gone. What's the possible harm? I'd love to see Mendez or GG for Bell also.
This team should have been blown up before the year. It's not close.
Also, they DFA SWR, but Bell and Outman are here... So don't give me fake me news about accountability.
This is a very win now move .... Unless there is something wrong physically..... That can't be fixed. But at least we have a bunch of old guys who aren't part of the future!
Option a guy. Seriously. Also, they refuse to do this with awful hitters that have never been good. I can't wait for this team to be sold and new management.
I was searching prospect lists trying to see who would trade what for Ryan....weird thing. The best teams actually play rookies, not Josh Bell, and Outman. The twins have one second year prospect and zero rookies among hitters. Just brutal.
Perusing playoff team lists of prospects, and oddly many of them are actually fielding rookies, not Josh Bell, Outman, et. al...... Many of the top prospects are in the majors.... Not in Minnesota! Zero, zero, rookie hitters and only one last year.....
I was just chastised by another poster for saying they are old and the defense is bad .... So thanks! They have two young hitters on the roster. Zero rookies. That's not going to work for a mid market team, ever. They are getting no one ready for next year, so they'll sign more awful old players again unless they start changing their approach to development.
That's just not realistic. If you only have fun if you are the one team that wins.... You're not going to have much fun in life. IMO. Sure, try to win! But that's not realistic every year for every team.
Also, winning isn't always good for bad teams....If the stupid Vikings didn't win meaningless games a couple years ago, Drake Maye world be their QB ...
