    They could send Bell packing and it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

    Paredes is a bulk guy and if he pitches it will just be a glorified bullpen game. They have stopped developing starters in AAA, they are all bulk guys. So welcome to the new reality of the Twins.

    Is the front office using a dart board or do they just wake in the morning and make some random move. I thought if anything they would pick up a starter that can give some length. There have been 10,000 in various outlets about how they are short on starters and have no one to fill in for Ober. So pick up another aging vet who has no upside at all to pitch in relief.

    There is a reason Caratini has primarily been a back up catcher his whole career. It was not a good use of resources to sign him when those dollars could have been used more efficiently, but this was a typical Falvey move. And it will only get worse next year if they try to go into the season with him as the primary catcher.

    It was nice to see Gray come thru but it does not lessen the need for Culpepper. This would make Gray the utility infielder which is a role he is more suited for.
  6. HarmonK03
    Absolutely agree!
  7. HarmonK03
    Get Clemens out of CF, he is out of his depth.
  8. HarmonK03
    Ryan bailed out his defense, Clemens and Gray owe him a steak dinner.
  9. HarmonK03
    You keep playing players out of position, it has a ripple effect on the rest of the defense. But that's right any body can play anywhere,
  10. HarmonK03
    I am sure glad we have Gray as our starting SS, too bad we don't have any other options.
  11. HarmonK03
    Reports were the Nationals were trying to give him away. He has no pathway to playing for anybody other than the Twins in the major leagues. No one else will play him at 1B, which is a smart move. And he hasn't hit well enough the last few years consistently to be a full time DH.
  12. HarmonK03
    Based on comments last week, it sounds it is the Twins that are trying to protect Buck from himself, their words. They want him at 100% before playing in the field. But it is getting old and seeing Clemens in CF is not a solution. Again why are Outman and Kreidler even on this roster. It would be nice if we had some reporters in this town that would actually track Zoll down and ask what the plan is.
  13. HarmonK03
    If they are not going to put the best out there in 2026 and also look to the future, that is management malfeasance. They can't stop and run status quo just because of a potential work stoppage. And actually the moves I am suggesting will actually help the team be prepared for when baseball resumes again whether at the beginning of next season or mid season. I am not accepting mediocrity and just standing still when you are running players out there that have no business being in the major leagues.

    We have four starters and no one prepared in AAA to step in to a starting role. Some of this is injuries but the other reason is they have turned the majority of the staff in St. Paul into bulk relievers. So they are not prepared from either a pitch count or facing a lineup multiple times to be starters. So bring up two of those guys to replace Ober and run your bullpen short. Even with injuries you have to have guys in roles prepared to come up and help out the team. They may not have much success, but you can't run a bullpen game every 5th day. They really need someone to come in and be a senior advisor to Zoll, I don't think he is up to the task of being the top baseball voice in an organization. And every day he flounders sets this team back even further. Last thought, they really need to consider extending Jeffers, hopefully he would agree to it. Do you really want to see Caratini behind the plate for 100 games next year.
  15. HarmonK03
    No one will want them, Washington had no takers for him last year at the trade deadline and his numbers are worse this year. He doesn't hit enough for a full time DH which is all he is. You can easily move on from these guys if the front office really had a plan. But they are just winging it day by day.
  16. HarmonK03
    I am not sure I would compare Larnach to Wallner. Today everybody looked like it was the end of a 10 day road trip. Larnach has had a rough two weeks but I am not sure he is at Wallner's level yet. I am waiting for ERod and Jenkins to get healthy to replace him or least reduce his playing time.
  17. HarmonK03
    Any hope that changes might happen tomorrow with Outman just vanished with his pinch hitting appearance.
  18. HarmonK03
    A lot of people have been down on Jeffers, but I don't recall a catcher's interference call on him.
  19. HarmonK03
    Why not let him start an inning in his debut. He has not pitched in relief this year that I saw.
  20. HarmonK03
    How much did Zoll pay for this comment.
  21. HarmonK03
    So who is our fifth starter if Paredes comes in today. Do they have any kind of plan as an organization. They need to bring a senior advisor to Zoll this week. Zoll is in over his head.
  22. HarmonK03
    The article is not about having a long reliever. It is about having pitchers pitch bulk innings on a predetermined schedule. That is why you can say they are innovative and everything else, but you can't have a predetermined plan going into the game without being prepared to deviate from the plan based on the game flow. That is exactly what they don't do. And then you use up two pitchers in one day as others have said and you are backing yourself into a corner in future games.
  23. HarmonK03
    Lewis has been hitting over .300 since being sent down, might want to look at your source again.
  24. HarmonK03
    I agree 100%, I think the problem was Joe actually worked in the marketing department and had an office at Target field. I think he developed a relationship with Falvey from that time working with him as more of a peer and it became a blind spot to evaluating his performance. And that is where I blame the Pohlad family for not having a clean handoff to the next generation because it has set this team back.
  25. HarmonK03
    Lewis will not be released,
