    This is why we need a real baseball leader that can come up with a plan and help the business side sell it to the fans.
  2. HarmonK03
    I would have used the money on the bullpen which was a real need. Other teams can win without huge payrolls but Falvey was unable to work with the resources given him.
  3. HarmonK03
    Falvey set this roster not Zoll. Falvey had at least $14m to spend last year and he chose to spend it on Bell to play 1B and Caratini as the backup catcher after trading for Jackson. I am fairly certain Zoll had a hand in this roster construction during the offseason as Falvey's right hand man. This is not on ownership, this is on Falvey and Zoll who have constructed a team that will have made the playoffs once in the past six years unless they pull off a miracle this year.
  4. HarmonK03
    So he's not a catcher on a championship team, than what is our goal next year. If you are not playing to win, you should be rebuilding. That is the problem the talent level needs to be raised and Caratini as our number 1 catcher doesn't do that. You are correct on the number of games, I was looking at starts.
  5. HarmonK03
    If you have that many holes maybe you need to look at your approach and is why Zoll needs to be gone. I can live with Caratini as the backup but the plan right as we know it is for him to be our primary catcher. It was a bad plan set in place by Falvey when he signed him and it still is.
  6. HarmonK03
    Yes Lewis needs to layoff the low outside pitch, he did better when he first came up but has been falling back into old habits again. As others have noted, he is not alone in this. Many comments about this tonight, but the one pitch he swung at tonight that was outside he took to RF. There is a narrative that starts to become truth just because it is being said over and over.
  7. HarmonK03
    It wasn't 5 years ago and maybe there is a reason other teams don't trust him behind the plate. Why do you think Houston traded for Vasquez last year because they didn't trust him as a back up. Is every other team wrong or are the Twins smarter than everyone else.
  8. HarmonK03
    Kreidler is going to get someone hurt on these popups in the outfield. He almost ran over Keaschall again, he has had many near misses everywhere he plays.
  9. HarmonK03
    No
  10. HarmonK03
    Remember there was a stretch of 24 of 25 runners stealing a base without being caught and that was when he was the primary catcher. It will be a very weak position if he is our primary catcher.
  11. HarmonK03
    Look at his history, he has never played more than 87 games at catcher with a career OPS of .685 and he will turn 34 next year. He is not a number 1 catcher and we will be missing Jeffers if that is the plan.
  12. HarmonK03
    Luke earned that walk.
  13. HarmonK03
    They have figured him out, time to get someone new in there.
  14. HarmonK03
    Hopefully someone is getting warm.
  15. HarmonK03
    That is what this year should be about.
  16. HarmonK03
    That's been my point since we signed him, especially when people try to defend Falvey.
  17. HarmonK03
    Lost opportunity cost though when we signed him, if he is not here, I am guessing ERod makes the opening day roster and we at least know more about him.
  18. HarmonK03
    No, especially when he was signed to be the first baseman.
  19. HarmonK03
    And they say they can't find at bats for ERod.
  20. HarmonK03
    Pitcher's struggling to throw strikes, so Bell swings at the first pitch.
  21. HarmonK03
    They could and I hope they do.
  22. HarmonK03
    They still think they are in contention for a wild card berth.
  23. HarmonK03
    In fairness this team is a pull happy team, that is what they are taught hunting for the home run. But he has not been making contact again lately.
  24. HarmonK03
    He is eligible for arbitration will be a free agent after 2027. He could be non-tendered.
  25. HarmonK03
    At least it wasn't outside.
