    You aren't going to get better production from Gray, Kredler or Arcia if they play every day.
  2. HarmonK03
    They have no other options for Lewis other than Culpepper. Gray and Kreidler looked ok in a very small sample size. I am starting to have my doubts about Lewis but it did look like he was doing better before he went on the IL. I don't think his defense is as bad as people on here say it is based on the eye test. He made a nice play coming in on a ball with a nice throw last night. Let him play this season on a regular basis and if he doesn't turn it around make a decision at the end of the season. But have a suitable replacement ready, not another AAAA player.

    Where do order our World Series champion shirts?

    And yet Clemens keeps getting regular AB's, he is not an everyday player.

    This is why I was hoping for a clean sweep of the front office, I am not sure if Zoll is any different than Falvey. It is never a bad thing to try and find an edge. But this organization is letting their analytics department run the baseball operations. They have been adding to the analytics staff and reducing scouting. They have an interesting definition of success, last year the Saints won 62 games. I realize it is about development in the minor leagues but if you are having success I would expect more wins and more impact on the major league club. This club needs to identify talent and develop that talent rather than trying constantly to be the smartest one in the room. Falvey had limited success in his nine years at the helm. Maybe all his ideas weren't as good as they think. We need fresh leadership to take an objective review of what is trulyworking and what isn't.

    How do you trade Buxton if he doesn't agree to it which at least with his public statements he doesn't want to be traded.
  7. HarmonK03
    Clemens had one good three week stretch last year and he might be in the middle of another. But there is no way he should be anymore than the 12th or 13th man on the roster and not being the regular first baseman.
  8. HarmonK03
    Falvey's actions were inconsistent with a rebuild. I have one example, another is tendering Larnach. That move made no sense if you are in a rebuild with all of our young outfielders.
  9. HarmonK03
    The Blue Jays just released Jimenez after 12 games, they didn't hang onto him for a full season or even a half season and hope that he has something left in the tank. This is what the Twins need to be doing, be more decisive.
  10. HarmonK03
    We don't know who is to blame for not following thru on the rebuild or if that was truly the plan. Josh Bell was signed at the same time it was announced that Tom was taking over as leader of the Twins. I am not sure if he had input at that time. But that signing does not indicate a full blown on rebuild. Falvey made no moves in the first two months of the offseason to indicate any plan he might have had. And the turmoil at the top is not an excuse. executives deal with that in every industry and they still make decisions for the best of the organization. Falvey sat on his hands.
  11. HarmonK03
    It is easy to blame the owners. But Falvey was not a good POBO, he signed Bell and said it was to be our first baseman. We had no sustained success under Falvey. You have to work within the resources given and he could do not do that. Even this offseason he didn't need to sign Caratini, he had already identified a backup catcher. He could have used those dollars for a relief pitcher back in November but he thought he could build a bullpen on the fly. Other teams can field more competitive teams with the same payroll as the Twins but Falvey was unable to.
  12. HarmonK03
    Are they developing starters in the minors. It appears like they are more concerned with developing bulk guys. Like the article says pick a lane, but they aren't really doing either right now.
  13. HarmonK03
    Left thumb injury per Gleeman
  14. HarmonK03
    Bell is another example of Falvey's ineptitude. He literally signed Bell to play 1B not to DH.
  15. HarmonK03
    I get the waiting even though I am not sure Wallner can turn it around with the Twins. But this does not mean there is not a place on the roster for ERod. Outman and his role is not needed. There are plenty of AB's to go around if they stop worrying about their fascination with platooning everyone.
  16. HarmonK03
    For where the Twins are there is not a need for a specialist role which is why Outman should be an easy DFA. If they want to keep Wallner, there would be plenty of AB's for Martin, Larnach, Wallner and ERod. It just means that Bell needs to play 1B. Clemens should not be taking AB's away from any of those four players.
  17. HarmonK03
    Have you told Zoll of your plan because I don't think he got the memo. Right now they have Rojas on their 4 inning program, which is short hand for a starting role in the minor leagues. I don't think they are looking at Rojas to be in the bullpen. Whether they should or not is another issue.
  18. HarmonK03
    First they need to play Martin regularly before you can put him in the leadoff spot.
  19. HarmonK03
    The best chance for meaningful upgrades was earlier in the offseason. I am not letting Zoll completely off the hook, but Falvey created the template for the season, there is no way to dispute this based on the timing of his leaving.
  20. HarmonK03
    Falvey didn't leave until the end of January, a couple of weeks before spring training. He set the tone and plan for the upcoming season starting last fall. Zoll had to pick up the pieces.
  21. HarmonK03
    This is who Clemens is, he will have a few good games, then you live with the flyballs and strikeouts. But this is what you should expect from a bench reserve. The problem is they are trying to make him a regular at 1B and that is not what he is.
  22. HarmonK03
    This is a perfect example of why Falvey was a failure and you can't blame it all on ownership. He could not make good use of the resources he was given. He gives $7m to Caratini and could've used that money to sign at least one reliever if not two. He had a backup catcher who was not a great bat but there was one in place. Instead he just went after castoffs and left Zoll with a cluster to try and clean up.
  23. HarmonK03
    I have always been a believer of Wallner but it is time to send him to St. Paul. But not for a reset, he needs to be the 5th or 6th option to be called up. At this point if he is going to have a future in baseball I don't believe it is with the Twins. He is not a young prospect anymore, he is a great candidate for a change of scenery.
  24. HarmonK03
    They have come back to the players they always have been. You take what you can with them, but they should never have been counted on to be cornerstones.
  25. HarmonK03
    If Correa was still here, Gray never would have been on the opening day roster and let us get excited about a couple of good games. Outman would still have been because he has no options left and the Twins are scared to DFA what they deem as an asset. The real problem is that ERod is not up here for Outman.
