    Why do we ever let rookies play, they just let us down every time.
  2. HarmonK03
    Not in the 6th inning, you still want his bat in the later innings.
  3. HarmonK03
    Abel still needs to prove himself in the major leagues, hopefully he can do that next year.
  4. HarmonK03
    With this team he is #3, when everyone is healthy. But he has to show he can pitch in pressure situations because a #3 will be needed if we ever get to the playoffs.
  5. HarmonK03
    But he's had the issue of consistency all year same as with TB, he's gotten better. But at what point do we see a breakthrough. I was only half serious with my comment but many view him as a top end starter and I don't think he is there yet and may never get there.
  6. HarmonK03
    Maybe Bradley is the one they should trade instead of Ryan or Lopez.
  7. HarmonK03
    Bradley has to throw strikes more consistently, he is getting away with it so far but how long.
  8. HarmonK03
    I will go with his words that he wants to be here.
  9. HarmonK03
    Joe Mauer had concussion issues and had to move out from behind the plate to not risk brain injury from further concussions, that is a cheap shot on Mauer.
  10. HarmonK03
    It was because of Buxton that they wouldn't call up Jenkins earlier or roster Gray when he went on the IL the first time. Or that they continue to roster Jackson when they won't use him. I think the roster mismanagement is totally on Zoll.
  11. HarmonK03
    He has veto rights, it is not going to happen, but sure keep pounding that drum.
  12. HarmonK03
    He is already on the IL and Jenkins was brought up for him, why would this change the status for ERod.
  13. HarmonK03
    And they could easily say start at $150m and phase it in to whatever number. These contracts are 100's of pages long, I think they could work it out if they want to. But again, negotiations really haven't begun in earnest yet and we don't know how it will shake out.

    I am not sure how stacked the Blue Jays outfield last year, Davis Schneider played the most games in LF, so if that is the bar you want to clear that is fine, I would like a higher bar. I honestly could care less about metrics, he looked tentative in the field, but did start having better at bats before being sent down. Time is working against him right now to get a chance with the Twins, I am not in favor of playing him over the younger prospects right now.

    “I think any structure can work with the right belief in it, with the right people, with the right people underneath, and the foundation,” Falvey said. “And I want to say this: I totally respect Tom's position that he would like it to look a little different in the other way. There are few teams that have it this way, there are a lot more teams that don't that have it spread apart. I totally respect that decision. It's a really hard job for sure to do both. I think with the right environment, the right structure around it, you can do both, but I respect the decision he has going forward and I'm sure they're going to have someone really good to take on this business.” This was Falvey's quote in an article on MLB.com when he left. He didn't want to give up Business Operations, which was naive on his part. I understand why they made the decision at the trade deadline, it was strictly a business decision, but I also don't agree with it. I am not sure Tom is hands on, other than from a business standpoint he was trying to build attendance. This is why I want him to bring in a real baseball executive to put together a plan and help sell the plan to the fans. I don't think Falvey understood that part of the job, you have to get the fans to buy in to what you are doing.
  16. HarmonK03
    Agree with the minor league plan on pitching, develop starters and relievers. But do not understand the last paragraph, you would seriously pull a batter after 2 AB's just because. You basically have 3 bench moves and you want to burn one because the player has two bad AB's.
  17. HarmonK03
    These same professionals who called up Gray a second time when it was clear he was not a major league player. The same professionals who called Jackson back up after no one claimed him and have him sit and play cards. The same ones who brought Outman north with the team even though he had not earned his spot. Your blind faith would be admirable if it wasn't so sad.
  18. HarmonK03
    Falvey left because he had the Business Operations taken away from him when Tom P. decided to split the Business and Baseball operations roles back like they had always done before Dave. S. left. I am not buying that he wanted a fire sales, who did we get rid of last deadline other than bullpen guys or a bunch of players on expiring contracts. Falvey has never believed in prospects and has always favored veterans. Based on his history I don't believe a fire sale was being planned. Zoll had a chance to do something at the deadline and didn't, so to think he will HAVE to act differently is hope at this point.
  19. HarmonK03
    Roden has 230 plate appearances in the last two years, playing full time last year for a month for Toronto and has an OPS of .586. He has had more of a chance than people want to give credit for, yes he could probably use more time. But are you going to prioritize playing time for a 27 year old who didn't take advantage of his opportunity or younger prospects who have more potential upside. The trade for Roden made no sense at the time and fair or not he needs to be organizational depth at this point.
  20. HarmonK03
    Why do you think Zoll will all of a sudden act any different. He needs to be gone to a let a real baseball executive lead this process.
  21. HarmonK03
    You are watching different games than me, how many inherited runners has the bullpen allowed to score in his outings. His numbers would look a lot different. But averaging just over 5 innings a start and most games keeping his team in the game as a #5 starter is a solid start. Not every pitcher comes out of the gate as a top of the rotation pitcher.
  22. HarmonK03
    ERod did that this past spring and he was passed over for Outman, so no it is not always the time if there is a preconceived outcome.
  23. HarmonK03
    So you cherry pick one stat to make your case. Actually the post before yours by MG laid out the case for why he starts out in the rotation. Results matter, not some random stats that try to measure some fuzzy identifiable objective.
  24. HarmonK03
    Most teams would not have brought Outman out of spring training with them, so no they don't get a pass on finally getting rid of him when he became unplayable any longer. You have 4 bench positions, you utilize all of them. The Twins like to sacrifice one or two which is just stupid and I am not going to drink the kool-aid. Look at the winning teams, they don't have players sit for three weeks without playing them.
  25. HarmonK03
    I don't see any way that Wallner is on the 40 man next year. The organization has moved on from him, which is probably best for both sides.
