    Buxton-NTC, has said he wants to be here, until that changes he isn't going anywhere.
  2. HarmonK03
    And he is going to figure out what has plagued him the 3rd time through the order by basically facing the order 1 time, ok got it.

    It was Falvey who decided to spend the money on stop gaps, he never had a plan, that was not the owners. If anything hold them accountable for not holding Falvey accountable and bringing in a better management team. They have the opportunity to do that now, will they take it. Zoll should be fired the day we are officially eliminated. All I have heard on here is how Falvey built up the analytics staff and brought the team into the 21st century. Well guess what that took an investment from ownership, and ownership isn't going away until they decide to go away. I am more interested in holding them accountable because I can't force someone to sell an asset.

    He is just Falvey 2.0, who he worked under for 10 years.
  5. HarmonK03
    Reports that were never attributed to Buxton but by different sources trying to create trade interest in Buxton IIRC, I will take Buck at his word that he has been consistent over the last couple of years vs. unnamed sources.
  6. HarmonK03
    What has Abel done, he has had 3 good starts. He has good stuff but has struggled to throw strikes. Let's at least see him pitch for a year before we say that was a good trade.
  7. HarmonK03
    Yes and no. They need to get away from signing league average veterans to one year contracts. If he is back, then they are continuing this trend and what is the path forward.
  8. HarmonK03
    Yes go ahead and trade someone with a NTC clause and now 10 and 5 rights. We can stop beating the dead horse of trading Buxton. Until there is new reporting, he has made it clear he wants to be here.
  9. HarmonK03
    Or should he be back.
  10. HarmonK03
    And 23 was Gallo, and a list of others the years before that.
  11. HarmonK03
    I am not blaming them, but they were a one year fill in. Either develop players or bring in players that are going to be here more than one year and build off of that and fill in the holes.
  12. HarmonK03
    And we still end up with a sub .500 record, so how is this helping by doing it year after year.
  13. HarmonK03
    Don't do one year prove it type signings for veterans and sign someone that you can commit to for multiple years that has been a proven producer. That would be a better type of vet to sign. Other than Correa they really have never signed any needle movers.
  14. HarmonK03
    So spend $80m even though it is a weak class. That sounds like a Falvey plan, spend money for the sake of spending money.
  15. HarmonK03
    And he is only going to do that by pitching. That is why Shelton left him a couple of weeks ago, Maybe it was one or two batters too late when he got pulled but that is how they learn.
  16. HarmonK03
    Then the second pitcher coming in struggles in his first inning, what do you do. Remember they did this with Abel in the first week of the season and kept him in because they had a plan of how many innings they wanted out of each pitcher. And he should have come out in the 6th inning and not the 8th. And what happens if Prielipp is cruising after 4 innings are you just going to pull because that is the plan, that is ridiculous. The innings restriction is a TD narrative with no basis in science. Either keep him as a starter or move him to the bullpen.
  17. HarmonK03
    I agree on Matthews, everyone seems to want to move him out of the rotation. I think he has earned the right to start spring training as one of the first five. If Abel or Rojas blow by him in spring training then they should be put in the rotation. But he has only blown up 3 times and gets consistently into the 6th and 7th inning keeping his team in the game.
  18. HarmonK03
    Let me restate, in my opinion they were not in a rebuild, we do not know the conversations between Falvey and Tom P. What we do know is when Falvey left it was clearly reported that he was not happy with having the business operations duties that he had been given a year earlier taken away. He felt one person could oversee both business and baseball operations even though the Twins have never operated that way. The only reason he was given the business operations was St. Peter stepped down and the team was for sale. They were not going to bring someone new into that business with ownership still in question. What I do know is Falvey never appeared to have a clear plan and he did not value younger players. So to me a rebuild was more of a retool.
  19. HarmonK03
    Until the last couple of weeks, Shelton has actually done a fairly good job with the bullpen especially considering what he had to work with. Planning for innings never works, you have to adapt to the game as it goes.
  20. HarmonK03
    Piggybacking doesn't work, either let him start and give him a short leash if necessary or move him to the bullpen.
  21. HarmonK03
    Joe Mauer
  22. HarmonK03
    What rebuild were we in, he traded expiring contracts and relievers with a year and a half of control at the deadline last year. Varland was the exception. But Falvey has always treated relievers as fungible and traded them away a year and a half before free agency starting with Pressley. He tendered Larnach in November. Those are not signs of a rebuild. Falvey has never had a clear plan for this organization and we don't know what his plans were last year either. And we don't know the conversations between him and Tom P.
  23. HarmonK03
    Jackson is a backup at best, let's not get excited about him, no one even claimed him when he was available.
  24. HarmonK03
    They hit them where they weren't, that inning was all on Kremer.
  25. HarmonK03
    Bad Kremer showing up tonight.
