    And Ross hits 15th HR for St. Paul, but hey we have no room for him either, Jackson is a better card player.
  2. HarmonK03
    But he is only up because of injuries.
  3. HarmonK03
    The other piece is do you trust Zoll to make these decisions, I have made my thoughts known on this. Can he target the right pieces and set a direction. That is what I most want is what is the direction. I have a flex ticket package and starting last year at the trade deadline that is the conversations I have been having with my ticket rep. Convince me why I should keep investing money in this package, what is the plan. They have been more enjoyable to watch this year, but what are they doing to build a sustainable competitive team and not just one that sits around .500 year in and year out.

    They first have to decide, do they want to be an athletic team who plays defense or more clogging of the base paths. I know Arraez's defense has improved. But rather than just sign a guy because he is a free agent, what type of players are they targeting and does he fill a hole or is the player worth it to fit in. The Donaldson signing felt like it was like Falvey wanted to make a splash so he signed Donaldson. Correa to a lesser degree was the same.
  5. HarmonK03
    Yes you are correct. Where I got off track is I don't feel they will be used, so I was trying to have my cake and eat it too by saying the system isn't improved. I just want them to have a plan and I am not sure they have one and that is my frustration.
  6. HarmonK03
    If they change their philosophy yes, but so far they haven't shown the inclination to use the system to either fill holes in the major leagues or acquire proven position players.
  7. HarmonK03
    This is where they need a real baseball executive to present a plan to Pohlad and show where money can be spent reasonably rather than just spend money for the sake of it and helps sell the plan to the fans. If Pohlad is that set on spending money just to say he is willing, then there is nothing we can do. But I have to believe he would listen to an experienced executive. If they really want to spend, do an overpay for Jeffers, that is our biggest hole for next year. We have no lead catcher for next year and will have to spend money for one otherwise. Caratini and Jackson is not a sensible plan at catcher for a whole season.
  8. HarmonK03
    I was really hoping for a reunion, I was hoping they would put a claim in, then we would have insurance for Buxton.
  9. HarmonK03
    How is our system stronger, Roden is a 4th or 5th outfielder at best, Rojas has potential to be a contributor. From Philadelphia, it looks like Abel will a contributor, but Mendez is going to have a tough time with the current makeup of the roster as mentioned here. The catcher Tait has leveled this year, could still make improvements, but he has a first round pick now literally breathing down his neck. So I am not sure how is stronger unless we use some of these assets to fill holes.
  10. HarmonK03
    They should be planning for baseball in 27, that is the only way you should be operating as an organization. Plouffe commented on this earlier today and he is correct. Jenkins should be up here, he is doing everything you ask someone to do to get the shot, he makes the team better now and the future. But this front office has shown they have no real plan.
  11. HarmonK03
    Bell, Larnach and Wallner really can't be back next year. Especially Bell and Wallner they will just clog the roster with a bat first and their hitting is not elite enough to carry a bat only.
  12. HarmonK03
    Actually my comment was not about Zoll directly, it was in response to a comment that said "most of the people who built this roster are gone". That is not true and that is not opinion, that is fact. For your last sentence, I do not have the same belief because nothing substantial has changed in the way they operate. I want it to be true, but I have to see to believe it.
  13. HarmonK03
    Vasquez is stronger defensively
  14. HarmonK03
    I did too, but you can't hit Caratini and Kreidler any higher in the order.
  15. HarmonK03
    They don't typically pinch hit for Caratini unless it is with Jeffers, so Jackson can stay in the clubhouse and keep the cards warm. I am not sure why Jeffers couldn't play all three games of this series, Caratini has done nothing for the past month and a half. Why the push to get his bat in the lineup is completely baffling. And it sure would be nice to have Jenkins or ERod in LF and move Clemens to 2B, would be a much stronger lineup.
  16. HarmonK03
    @milldam I am curious, you put a thumbs down on this comment. It's a factual statement I feel, so why would you do a thumbs down on this.
  17. HarmonK03
    So he plays probably 6 days in a row at a minimum and then you go oh wait, he is hurt, we are going to put him on the IL. The IL is not a taxi squad that you can just move people up and down. If doctors say he can play, he is not going on the IL, we may as well accept that fact. And we are going to see some nights like last night where he is a spark and helps us to victory, just not as many games as we would hope.
  18. HarmonK03
    Is our front office capable of doing this when these are the metrics they have built. I personally don't think so and really hope we get an overhaul of the front office so we can get a fresh perspective.
  19. HarmonK03
    This is absolutely not true. The only change in the front office was the person who makes the final call changed from Falvey to Zoll. All the same personnel that worked on the trading and drafting of this roster are still here. What we don't know is how much Falvey took input from his staff. And from his comments, I feel he was a consensus builder, so this roster many people still in the building had a major say in its construction.
  20. HarmonK03
    Maybe the Buck to the IL talk will go away for a few days now.
  21. HarmonK03
    I am not sure why you appear to be actively rooting for a Twins player to fail. I do not recall you analyzing every Clemens plate appearance when he was hitting under .200 for a month or Bell when he was slumping. Lewis has been one of our top hitters since his recall and is going thru a little slump, that happens over a 162 game season.
  22. HarmonK03
    He's got a different profile than Arraez, he will hit for a little more power and has speed.
  23. HarmonK03
    Have you been watching him pitch. He has 18 starts and is averaging almost 6 innings a start. He has had 3 starts where he has been blown up, or else it is 4 runs or less in those 6 innings. He keeps his team in the game and gives them innings as a #4 starter, not sure what more you want.
  24. HarmonK03
    This is why it is nice to have some athleticism on the team, you can notice the difference.
