  1. 100% on this. 100%. I think Lewis and Lee break this pattern, but I'm not convinced on any of the other guys. And they destroyed Martin. AK might, might, break the pattern also. It is one reason I'd fire the FO right now.
  2. Not very.....my point stands. You don't build a team with one player. The Twins made a calculation that one of Julien or Gordon (and a healthy Polanco) plus Lopez and two minor league players was better than Arraez and random guy.....It hasn't worked for a ton of reasons, but I think it is much more about CC and the OF and Buxton than Arraez.....
  3. Teel could be a good enough hitter to play first or OF.....if he's close to what some think, he's a top 5-10 catcher. That is 100% worth the fifth pick.
  4. What makes you think he hasn't been addressing the team privately, it wasn't working, so he went public? Most leaders try very hard not to criticize publicly.... As for Wallner (not at you)....there is zero good reason for him to be in AAA (same with Larnach) given the what Kepler and Gallo and MAT are doing.....As I've said, I'd fire the FO at this point, given their refusal to admit their mistake and move on.
  5. Which other starting pitcher was traded that was good, or signed as a FA (how much more do we think the budget could be?)?
  6. Wow, Clark falling to 10? That would be a dream scenario for some team if you could trade draft picks...... I'm good with Teel. I'm good with Lowder. I'm good with Clark. Any of those three if the draft fell this way (I clearly only go by what I read.....).
  7. It's also ok to like the trade. Me? I'm unsure....but here was the calculus.... Arraez and ? OR Lopez and Polanco and/or Gordon and/or Julien (depending on if Arraez is 2B or DH, as I assume AK is 1B). Plus two minor league players. I get it.....it would be great to have Arraez given that every supposed veteran on this team is hurt or bad.....but they would likely not have any more wins with him here rather than Lopez. Which as my point about the record the last two years....they had him and bad pitching, and didn't win. It is a team game, and the FO bet on the second option above .... and might be wrong. But this idea that trading Arraez DOOMED the season, and the trade was awful, well, I think the trade was fair. YMMV of course.
  8. Who pitches instead of Lopez? And does that make the team better or worse? If he's not good, they need the bullpen even more....
  9. Of course, that's not what I said... It's a team game. It would be great to have him, but then no idea who pitches....
  10. My point remains the same. There are posts here that trading him was the doom of the season. It's not one guy. Also, who is pitching instead of Lopez? It would be great to have him and Lopez..... But that wasn't an option.
  11. Those last two episodes redeemed that last season in the eyes of many. I loved it all (well, maybe not LOVED).
  12. I don't think for one minute the players don't care. Not one single player.
  13. If Carmago came up and was even good, why not? They are adding almost no cost. (note, I have no idea if he's any good at the MLB level, certainly no team saw this coming this year).
  14. You posted Buxton should take less money, do you really think that's realistic? The money is not important to this team, the fact he's not healthy is. He should, IMO, be on the IL until he can play in the field.
  15. The buck stops with the FO not giving him any good OFers at all....and a DH that isn't healthy.
  16. hahahaha. Rose colored glasses? He's calling for changes all over the board.
  17. Wallner could be worse than Kepler, but we won't know if he doesn't play, putting them in a bad spot next off season...... You gotta find out this year.
  18. Would you expect teams to pay over performing players more than their contract? I'd consider retiring if I was him, but maybe he thinks he can come back next year?
  19. The list was about performance, not prospect status. I mean, they have Lee as the top prospect.....
