    Now we need to find someone to replace Lawrence's arm slot. At some point Pohlad has to look at Zoll and say do you have any clue. He is jumping the line to get guys like this and they are not just bad but horrific. If you are just going to throw stuff at the wall, anyone can do that. Figure out a real plan to build the bullpen. How many games have they cost us.
  2. HarmonK03
    Look at utilization in the minor leagues, they are constantly moving players around. So they are all utility players at this point. The players are not coming to the big leagues prepared to play one position.
  3. HarmonK03
    That's a false statement, they chose to carry Outman. If you have one utility i.e. Clemens that can move around and 5 or 6 starters that can play every day, this eliminates the need for moves at the end of the game. Again they haven't developed this because their first priority has been making everyone into a utility player. There is no explanation when they were carrying 4 utility players and only one deserved any kind of AB's.
  4. HarmonK03
    Yes and the Twins placing priority over ability to play has produced a sub .500 record over the last 6 years. Maybe it's time to say we need to change things up.
  5. HarmonK03
    Then don't call him up, it's really not that difficult. Maybe he is a McCusker or maybe he can be a productive player and carve out a role. But you won't know if you don't play him.
  6. HarmonK03
    Instead of flexibility, it would be nice to have players that can play, one utility player is enough. The team needs to focus on developing players who can play and a lot less on flexibility.
  7. HarmonK03
    You may be correct about Zoll, but that is why I am advocating for an experienced baseball executive. The Pohlad's need a proven leader.
  8. HarmonK03
    How can he earn it if he doesn't play. I would think it was earned based on his play in AAA. That's why he was called up.
  9. HarmonK03
    They have to use their whole roster, why is Fedko up here, to be a pinch runner and late inning defense replacement. This team does not need the role. You can play everybody, forget about the platoons and get creative. Sitting Fedko except for late innings is just stupid.
  10. HarmonK03
    I will keep beating this drum, they need a competent front office to run the baseball operations and Zoll is not the one to do it. Hopefully they could formulate a plan on how to become a competitive team and Tommy P. would listen. and then they could formulate a real marketing plan which has been down in the past. The owners should be hiring people to run the organization and give a thumbs up or down to the plan. We haven't had a competent front office since Falvey came. This is what I am blaming the Pohlads for, especially the kids.
  11. HarmonK03
    For some reason, the Twins have favored Gray all season. He is the one they brought north out of spring training. I still don't know what they saw then much less now to justify a roster spot.
  12. HarmonK03
    Are you referring to the 31 year old Lawrence as a younger reliever. They have not committed to youth, when they need an arm, they don't go to St. Paul unless they are on the 40. They just bring in another old retread. And we still have two others over 30 and one should be moved and the other has looked better.
  13. HarmonK03
    They come home after Arizona and play the Dodgers at Target Field.
  14. HarmonK03
    This is the one thing I liked Shelton did, he brought in some coaches with major league experience. I think that has been helpful and Sizemore is a great example.
  15. HarmonK03
    Maybe someone will hire Falvey in the next couple of weeks and then they can pull the trigger.
  16. HarmonK03
    Include Bell, Gomez and possibly Clemens on that list.
  17. HarmonK03
    Only because you are obviously getting paid as the President of his fan club, 😀
  18. HarmonK03
    I am not sure why they brought him up if they aren't going to play him or only platoon him. I am not saying he has to be in there every day. But if you only are going to start him every 5th day it doesn't make sense to have him up here.
  19. HarmonK03
    At least play him over Gray, Culpepper has to be the starting SS once he is healthy. I am not sure Kreidler can sustain this if he plays every day.
  20. HarmonK03
    He could throw in place of the position player. Dan Hayes just tweeted that he has given up 4 Home Run's to the last 10 hitters he has faced. Oh but he has 3 k's so there must be something there to work with. Shelton might wear a hood over his head to conceal his identity if he has to put him in another game.
  21. HarmonK03
    Good job Kreidler, play him until Culpepper is healthy.
  22. HarmonK03
    I was at that game, please don't trigger my PTSD.
  23. HarmonK03
    I appreciate the follow up on the specifics of how they helped him. It is one of their success stories, but does it translate to value in a trade without more of a record of sustainable results. I would prefer they kept him for the year and see if he can be a long term solution to the bullpen.
  24. HarmonK03
    There goes the no hitter.
  25. HarmonK03
    Who is going to trade for Gomez, he was a waiver wire pickup that has had a good month. I hope we have helped him figure something out but he would not bring anything. We would be selling low on Lewis, why would we do that. Give him the rest of the year, if he turns it around you either have 1B solved which is my preference or you would probably get a better package even if he is added to a package. I am still not sure there would be a market for Clemens, he is 30 years old, is the league convinced he has turned the corner. Whenever goes on a hot streak, the posts keep coming out that we can get something for Bell. There was not interest for him last year and really nothing has changed. He has his hot streaks but he can't sustain it enough to help a contending team. Like I posted on the game thread regarding Arcia staying with the Twins, there is a tendency on this board to overrate our players and any thought of getting any kind of return for anyone other than Ryan or Jeffers is a pipe dream.
