    What has Roden done to show he is a capable option as stated. His leash has to be short, we have other guys coming up behind him that will need a chance. And Roden just has not grabbed hold of any of his opportunities and run with it.
  2. HarmonK03
    He has played 30 games at 1B and is learning on the fly. This is on the organization for playing musical chairs with the defensive alignment. I am sure you never made a mistake in your first month when you started your career.
  3. HarmonK03
    He gave up 3 runs in 5 plus innings, he made the necessary adjustments. That is what you want to see from your less experienced pitchers. Both Prieliepp and Matthews should be in the rotation right now unless they get a #3 or better. They are giving a chance to win most every game they pitch.
  4. HarmonK03
    And stop moving him from game to game. Commit to him as the first baseman and let him play.
  5. HarmonK03
    Until Culpepper is ready.
  6. HarmonK03
    Caratini is not the answer over Jeffers. He had a career month in June and in July he has come back to earth with his .526 OPS,
  7. HarmonK03
    At some point you have to put the spreadsheet away and look at the results. Two runs in 7 innings is yellow, that throws this analysis into very much doubt.
  8. HarmonK03
    The next two weeks are important as well, I would think they would want the best roster possible. But then again Gray and Roden are here as well. Not sure these are the moves of a contending team

    They just released a picture of Kremer's new number. He will be the number 5 starter. This is just a continuation of Falvey's playbook, have a younger player who is producing and showing promise and replace him with an underperforming vet. I would understand more if he replaced Preiliepp, but it makes no sense to replace Zebby with Kremer.
  11. HarmonK03
    So is Rojas going to give you 6 innings per outing while giving up 3 to 4 runs, because that is what you are moving on from. And in a pennant race at least you know Matthews will give you a chance. Rojas has looked good the last couple of outings but still struggles throwing strikes.
  12. HarmonK03
    Then who is the fifth starter, Rojas is not stretched out. There was no reason to send Zebby down.
  13. HarmonK03
    So performance doesn't matter with this team. Kremer is not an upgrade over Zebby.
  14. HarmonK03
    He has had three stretches in the major leagues and has yet to show anything that warrants regular playing time. He is almost 27, just because we traded for him shouldn't guarantee him playing time.
  15. HarmonK03
    Planned piggybacking hasn't and won't work. If you want him for long relief for when the starter can't give you enough innings that is fine. But trying to plan your pitching moves prior to the game never works.
  16. HarmonK03
    Are you sure this is an upgrade over Kreidler.
  17. HarmonK03
    That was my point.
  18. HarmonK03
    We need a sarcasm emoji, My comment was mostly made tongue in cheek. Remember the signings we did make this offseason, Caratini and Bell to play 1B. He had some money to spend and he made questionable signings based on the timing of when they were made. I am not sure I would trust him with additional dollars after signings like that.
  19. HarmonK03
    It was an infield single and he is hitting .190 with a .542 OPS over almost 200 plate appearances. I am looking at the other 70 games where he has done nothing. And his defense looks average to me. Are we a contender or not, if we are then he needs to either be on the bench or in St. Paul.
  20. HarmonK03
    Can we be done with the Roden experiment and get Jenkins up here. He just isn't getting it done and we can't keep running him out there hoping he will.
  21. HarmonK03
    Let's just push the payroll past $200m, that will guarantee a winner.
  22. HarmonK03
    Yes Falvey did modernize the front office, I will give credit to him for that. But the team has basically been a .500 team over his tenure. And there has been no real continuity from year to year, they have consistently been signing one year deals for castoffs to fill holes in the lineup. That is not sustainable. I know everyone wants to dump on the Pohlads and the way payroll was cut in 24 should have been handled differently. But Falvey kept trying to do the big splash contract, first with Donaldson, then with Correa. One player is not going to make a difference and every mid market team that has made these types of signings have moved off of them. You need to build a team around that player and Falvey didn't do that. He didn't do a good job of working with the resources given him, maybe he needs to be in a bigger market because markets this size don't typically operate the way he wanted to. This roster was built with input from Zoll, I am giving him as much credit or lack of credit for this mismanaged roster construction that they currently have. What we don't know is who was pushing some of the moves that we have all questioned but Falvey obviously approved them. Let's see where we end up this year, but calling up Gray in the middle of a pennant race after his lack of production is one sign of someone not doing their job. And we will see about the Kremer trade. He did do well on the Minter trade. But Zoll was instrumental in building this team, the only change is he now makes the final call. I think the best thing for this organization is to have a fresh start and an objective review of what is working and not working. They have to get off the treadmill of mediocrity and I don't know how it happens with the current structure. Yes I am excited that they are playing well and Shelton has obviously got them playing well. But is it sustainable, because I still see no plan. And I would like to stop riding this rollercoaster to the degree we do here in Minnesota.
  23. HarmonK03
    Why would you move him from behind the plate.
  24. HarmonK03
    And move two other guys to new positions. I have seen less defensive substitutions in a Little League game.
  25. HarmonK03
    Royce with another late inning contribution. This is why you hang onto him.
