    I agree and I have been a big supporter as well. It stinks when you see games like Monday and you think maybe he turned the corner and then Tuesday happened. He is going to get more slack than most players and that is the way of the world. But it's past time to shut it down.
  2. HarmonK03
    I am not a big Bell fan, but right now he is hitting, so do you sit him. I wouldn't play him in the field, he makes Keaschall look like a gold glover.

    Zoll said today offseason surgery is definitely a possibility.
  4. HarmonK03
    Until I read the quote from Zoll, the reporting hadn't mentioned that he might need surgery. You can't just put someone on the IL. But now Zoll is saying he may need surgery, so with that new information I say push him to get the surgery done and shut it down for the season.
  5. HarmonK03
    Pohlad made a business decision that he thought by pretending to be contenders it would bring in fans. Zoll then acted accordingly. It was not a good decision but Zoll is a marshmallow, Get a real leader that can present a better plan to Tom P. They had a trade in place for Larnach, and if I recall it was the Astros owner not the Twins owner vetoing the trade. So I am not sure that you say they were never going to replace Larnach. Not sure why they didn't make a deal with another team.

    Get the surgery done if it's needed and do it next week. Shut him down for the season.
  7. HarmonK03
    Why is it time for that?

    Other than a couple of teams every team is trying to maximize profit, they don't have an open checkbook. If a new executive comes in and thinks he is going to have a $200m budget under the current rules, he is a fool and shouldn't take the job. Other teams that are not at the top of the money chain have gotten top executives, Cle, Mil and TB for a few examples. This is why I said very clearly what I want from Tom P. But it is not all about money, it is about player development, roster decisions, i.e. not carrying the Grays and Jacksons of the world except in emergency, making smart personnel decisions. But most of all have a plan.

    Well Jackson is on the roster, his position is unknown since we never see him play. I am wondering if the beat writers will stop carrying water for Shelton and push him on why Jackson is here. Hayes brought up the excuse again that they can now DH Jeffers with him on the roster. Yet in two games in the last week we have seen the opposing team use their second catcher as a DH without a third catcher. Ask him why opposing teams can do it but we can't. I would maybe get it if he was a top prospect but he is a journeyman catcher with a below .200 career batting average.

    They will not do anything before Monday is my guess, he is going to get treatment all weekend and than they will see how he is feeling. Not what I want, but this has been how they have always operated. This is another reason that Jackson should not be on this roster.
  11. HarmonK03
    This is the problem they have, he is definitely not 100% but who knows what percentage he is. Yes I want him on the IL, but from my understanding they haven't done an MRI or other tests so there is no new injury. So if you are going to put him on the IL he is going to need to agree to it. He is a competitor and wants to help the team, Shelton needs to have a conversation that this isn't helping, him being in and out of the lineup. The only silver lining is that we now have an above average CF to replace him.
  12. HarmonK03
    I have been saying since Wednesday they were not going to put Buxton on the IL. This is the same plan they keep running, let him get treatment for however many days and if it doesn't respond then they might IL him. Otherwise they keep playing down a player.
  13. HarmonK03
    This team badly needs new and competent leadership to lead the baseball operations. That is where I am holding Tom P. accountable, hire someone with experience and get out of their way. Let them present a plan and what resources are needed, if they are reasonable approve it. Whatever plans Falvey has had are a mystery to the fans and that is a problem. You need to be able sell what you are trying to accomplish and that can be done without giving details, a good leader knows how to do this. And this is something Falvey was not and Zoll is even worse.
  14. HarmonK03
    Pohlad needs to move on from Zoll today and bring in a real baseball executive to lead this team. Let them come up with a plan and help sell that plan to the fans.
  15. HarmonK03
    Great, another half measure from this team. There is no reason to keep carrying Jackson.
  16. HarmonK03
    Noticed that there has been no corresponding move or moves for Walker yet. Are they trying to figure out what to do with Buxton.
  17. HarmonK03
    What surgery is he putting off, I did not realize the injury required surgery. All reports are that it needs rest that isn't going to happen until the offseason or sooner if he shuts it down.
  18. HarmonK03
    If they are planning on ERod and Jenkins on the roster next year, then there is not room for him next year. He had a great first half of the year and helped us stay in the playoff race. But we need to get more athletic and he does not fit that mold. Either does Roden, he needs to be in AAA next year for depth. I am not convinced he is that superior defensively. Even the Twins don't believe that, they have been using Clemens as the defensive replacement for Larnach, not Roden.
  19. HarmonK03
    Twins Twitter posted, he will have #11,
  20. HarmonK03
    If they don't put Buxton on the IL, the best move would be Jackson, so they aren't playing 2 players short. Or else, you just need a dart board, there are plenty of candidates to take off the 40 man.
  21. HarmonK03
    I am not sure that Buxton will be on the IL unless something changed today. They haven't done an MRI last I had heard, so how can you say he's more injured without more tests. I think they will play short over the weekend to let him get treatment, at least we will have a true center fielder.
  22. HarmonK03
    Don't trip as you backpedal.
  23. HarmonK03
    I am getting up there in years a little bit, you don't need to the raise the blood pressure. 😀
  24. HarmonK03
    With this move and hopefully ERod next week, Kreidler should never see grass again, he is a league average defender in the outfield.
  25. HarmonK03
    They can move Jackson off of the 40 man roster, that will also create room on the 26 man as well. Congrats to Jenkins, excited to see you play in person on Saturday.
