    Do they have a plan, we will see. It will be interesting who is on the roster today after the dust settles. If this is a rebuild, Gasper and Clemens need to be gone. Give the kids a trial and see if there is something to work with. I would even consider calling up Culpepper and say you are the SS for the rest of the year. But I am worried we will see more players like 'Bride and even Outman getting AB's the next two months and that does not excite me. Also putting these players under Baldelli I hope doesn't set them back like everyone else. This organization has been a failure for the last 8 years and they just admitted it. They need to be gone the minute the papers are signed for the sale.

    It is absolutely on Rocco or any manager to set the tone and get the right coaches and give them the tools to develop the players. It is also how players are used that helps develop players, by putting them in the best position to be successful. Who do you think developed the Twins way back in the late 80's, hint it was TK. And he was also hands on with the players. But he made sure they were being developed and used in a manner that would give them the best chance at success.

    Castro is going to the Cubs.

    So if they are going thru this fire sale is France going to be DFA'd tomorrow along with Gasper. Why waste AB's on them if you are blowing it up.
  6. karcherd
    France was a mediocre signing. Barely replacement level production. Has same stats this year that got him released last year. We wish we would set the bar a little higher.
  7. karcherd
    Trade the upcoming free agents, get Gasper off this roster. He doesn't even have a position to play. The other night he missed a pitch and almost broke the umpire's arm. Now they won't even play him at 2B, they moved France over there. This organization is becoming more of a laughingstock by the day.
  8. karcherd
    Watkins should have seen him slow up and not sent him as well. I think this one is on both Clemens and Watkins.

    We nabbed a reliever out of the vaunted Dodgers bullpen. Don't know how Falvey pulled that one off.
  10. karcherd
    Who is he taking out of the lineup for Kiersey. There are no other real options. Now if you want to question why he is on the roster that is a reasonable question. Even though he hasn't really been given a real chance at any AB's this year. I am rather neutral on him, but I really don't want France or Gasper in the lineup.
  11. karcherd
    Gasper needs to be in AAA where he belongs. He has no position he can play and he can't hit. Bring up Martin or Julien to replace, there is more potential upside with them.
  12. karcherd
    They need to figure out where they want the players to play. Right now Lewis is at 3B and I don't see them moving him. Lee needs regular reps and AB's at one position, right now that should be 2B. They keep moving him around, let him get comfortable and see what he can do. Not every player is a utility guy.
  13. karcherd
    Lewis is just starting to hit and get his legs under him and you want him to sit. I don't understand that rationale at all. What good does that do for the team moving forward.
  14. karcherd
    Clemens will be 30 early next year. I think he is a good bench player with a specified role, not an every day player. June he was horrible and he has picked up in July. But there was a reason he was available as a DFA. But playing France over any of the younger players is borderline insanity. And I would rather give AB's at !B to either Julien or Sabato. See what they can do over the last two months and learn where the holes are for next year.

    This team raised the white flag on the season on Monday by trading Paddack, which I agree with. So now you find out what you have in players who might have a future with the club. France shouldn't even be on the roster much less starting in this scenario. He has been basically a replacement level player. The same stats he has this year got him released last year by Seattle. They need to find out if Lee can be a part of the future, put him at one position and let him play every day. This board has no patience for any of the younger players but yet guys like France, Bader, Clemens, Castro should never come out of the lineup despite results. It would be nice to have higher expectations of this club. If the prospects or younger players can't do the job then move on and bring in quality replacements. But bringing in stopgap veterans and playing them no matter how poorly they play is getting old and gives no hope for the future.
  16. karcherd
    You are missing the point, Lee should have been in the the starting line up and France comes in for an injury only.
  17. karcherd
    But Lee was not in the starting line up and it was basically France instead of Lee.
  18. karcherd
    I am sure glad France was in the lineup over Lee tonight. Rocco is just a genius.
  19. karcherd
    And for him to not make major moves, just sell the free agents. I don't trust Falvey and the direction he may set for the team.
  20. karcherd
    And he can only go four innings in an outing so he would fit in just fine.
  21. karcherd
    They are basically doing this with every pitcher now. The Saints announcer a couple of weeks even commented that the Saints only have bulk pitchers, they don't have anyone to go just one inning in a save situation. But remember Falvey is smarter than the rest of baseball, I see a World Series title in the very near future.
  22. karcherd
    Rocco doesn't have any faith in his offense either, playing the infield in during the third inning in a tied game. At least it was tied at the time.
  23. karcherd
    He has never thrown more than 59 pitches, so I am sure this will be his last inning.
  24. karcherd
    They are reinventing how pitchers are used. It is better to give them 4 innings at a time and not develop any starters just bulk guys.
  25. karcherd
    He is a DFA candidate, if somebody trades for him they should be fired.
