  1. I'm guessing they are looking for starters next year ... He has been a starter, not a good one. I have strong doubts, given his track record..... My fear is they count on him for next year, and he reverts to what he's been.... As for today, nice to win.
  2. I was responding to a post that talked about not going with an OF who was hot in spring training. Separately, I didn't get the Dobnak to the bullpen decision at all. Nor the shoemaker signing.
  3. The literally won the division the last two years before this.....I got no idea how anyone can feel all they sell is hope.
  4. If the FO makes decisions based on hot spring training stats....that would be bad.
  5. The young pitchers need a mentor or two..... They need at least one veteran, probably two. Then use the rest of the staff to rotate guys in.....
  6. There is no realistic path to a great staff to start next year. No team has added three great pitchers in one off-season. With luck, they could have a good rotation next year, but it will be luck.
  7. who is saying we know Ober is good? We are saying he's in the starting rotation.....I guess someone may be saying that, but I don't think most are.....He might be? But we pretty much know he's in the rotation next year....
  8. I'd only bring in two from outside the org at this point. Free agent ( a 2/3, not a 5) Trade (a 2/3, not a 4/5) Ober Ryan or someone Someone else from inside the org Lots of guys in AAA that are young for a change..... I think bringing in a third from the outside just means that a lot of high upside arms spend next year in the minors.....rather than getting time in MN.
  9. Encouraging first start. I will be surprised if he's not in the rotation to start the season next year. I have no idea if that fastball will work over multiple innings, but I think we'll find out next year.
  10. You wouldn't deal prospects for a legit 2/3 type (if there is one out there)?
  11. that's not how it works....do you want the division title, or not? There is real value in winning while you have the chance to win. I'm not even sure how that is debatable.
  12. Thin? They are incredibly deep in prospects....what they are is short of ELITE prospects....or not, not really, not compared to almost every org out there. They have 5 of Fangrpahs top 100 prospects, and another at 104, after graduating Kiriloff and Jeffers. Exactly how many top 100 would they need to have not to be "horribly thin"?
  13. So, just stop playing Rooker for the rest of the year? And Rortverdt?
  14. Minnesota, no matter what happens next. They needed him last year, and he was great.
  15. I'm suggesting he can only put players on the roster in the lineup. So, yes, I have no idea how you ripped him for something he doesn't control.
  16. You ripped the manager.....he has no say over that first line. I mean, really, your complaint for why they lost was how Baldelli filled out the lineup, and those are your two examples?
  17. Now imagine trying to pull off the perfect off season this year....They need those 14 wins, and Buxton healthy all year, and still more......
  18. He can only play the guys on the roster.... Does anyone think Rooker should be on the 40 man at the end of the year? Terrible draft pick. This FO needs to draft better, but I'm not seeing it......
  19. I think 3 is his starter peak, but if they had starters, he'd probably be a great RP, like Joe Nathan like.....that said, they have only 1 starter for next year, so he needs to start.....
  20. Royce Lewis. Or Simeon Woods Richardson. I think Martin will be starting about half the year for MN, either at SS or LF/CF (depending on Buxton's status).
  21. Guess they weren't playing service time games with Ryan (shocker some here were wrong about that).....
  22. This made me happy. Thank you. Great news! No idea if Ryan will be legit or not, but if he is, that's a GREAT trade (I could see him as Joe Nathan, which would also be great, btw.).
