    Hitting coaches and pitching coaches tend to be good at one thing, coaching hitters and / or coaching pitchers. I'll be fine if Rowson is the choice but he's not my first choice.
  2. dxpavelka
    anyone who gets the job and gets paid by the team will be whatever Falvey wants them to be. Kind of how stuff works.

    As I mentioned above any offer needs to be for a king's ransom. The team making the offer had better be bringing their # 1 prospect (top 10 MLB) their 2nd or 3rd prospect (MLB top 25) and another top 6 prospect (MLB top 100) Most of the teams that would be in the market don't have guys who fit into those criteria. At the end of the day, I'm out.

    You are wrong on Jenkins. Something DOES need to be said. Just one word. NOW!!!!
  5. dxpavelka
    I'll put Gagne atop that list and ignore any argument any makes to the contrary. Two rings at a premium defensive position IS a thing.
  6. dxpavelka
    Make him available? Sure. Yeah. Whatever. Trade him? Not for anything less than a king's ransom.

    The last time the Twins hired a manager with big league experience was when they hired Gene Mauch in 1976. And he was most famous for managing an epic collapse a decade previous. Don't hold your breath.

    Given all this talk about his defense at SS should i worry about the picture of him seems to be throwing the baseball from 2B?

    annddd????

    So did we get better last year by trading good players?
  11. dxpavelka
    The benefit is not in trading him but in having better players to replace him. If guys like Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzeles, Mendez or Rosario don't ultimately end up being better than him, whatever incremental improvements they get out of him will prove to be of little consolation. Same goes for Larnach. Larnach is far enough along in his career where he shouldn't be 15th on your team in WAR. Wallner is dangerously close to being in the same boat. Somebody got an oar?

    50 / 50 chance they keep him. If they do, 50 / 50 chance he continues to trend downward allowing the fans to say they have no clue what they are doing. If they move him, 75% chance he goes the Rooker route allowing fans to say they have no idea what they are doing. 100% chance that if it goes south the fan base will say they don't know what they are doing. Even the ones who totally agree with whatever they decide to do at the time they do it.

    care to put a few sawbucks on that?
  14. dxpavelka
    see

    I JUST said you don't get better by trading your good players. Do you not understand?
  16. dxpavelka
    how'd it work out for the twins
  17. dxpavelka
    the days of SPs going deep or a full nine more than once in a blue moon are long gone. sadly
  18. dxpavelka
    I can cite countless examples. Bert Blylevin traded to the Rangers. Rod Carew traded to the Rangers. Johan Santana to the Mets. I won't even bring up Lou Brock. How about Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas. I'll even cross sports. KG. Randy Moss. Trading your stars just makes your team unwatchable. Pass.
  19. dxpavelka
    a bullpen is probably the easiest part of a baseball team to rebuild.
  20. dxpavelka
    Not sure why you are concerned about success next season. The team is doomed. Have you not been listening to the fan base?
  21. dxpavelka
    No. Please. Those days are gone forever. Just let them go.
  22. dxpavelka
    that's not saying much
  23. dxpavelka
    You don't get better when your best players play for other teams
  24. dxpavelka
    Calling ******** on your statement that Brooks Lee has no standout skills. He can catch a baseball and throw it to first base. The Twins haven't had many shortstops with that skill since Greg Gagne became a Royal. Technically, Orlando Hudson & Luis Castillo could be considered to be in the mix but Hudson played one season here and do any Twins fans under the age of 35 even know who Castillo was? Other than that you've got Roy Smalley (more famous for being Gene Mauch's son-in-law and having been acquired in the Bert Blylevin trade than for his defensive chops) and Zoillo Versailles (been a while)
  25. dxpavelka
    James Rowson. Hire him. As hitting coach.
