    Who cares? The problem is that they are both still PROSPECTS. Get 'em up. Rodriguez in LF, Larnach to DH. Keaschall at 2B, Lee to 3B. Lewis to 1B. Cut the ******** and mixing and matching, laminate the lineup card for the next half decade and move on. This ain't rocket science.

    They have no DH so that is fine.

    What's up with all the doom and gloom. Haven't you heard? The team is going to be sold. The new owners are gonna spend money like drunken sailors on shore leave. Soon we'll be in the business of trading away excess free agent bats. Good times.

    You've got a lot of time. Maybe you can try the **** in a box option. Worked out well for me. **** in the box and had to mail to box. To Green Bay. The day the Vikings and Packers played to a tie. Mailing a box of **** to Green Bay was one of the more satisfying experiences on can have.

    Hope those future chances work out better.

    Good luck with that.

    It feels like big league managers have developed some sort of an obsession with having relief pitchers START and complete an inning. Yesterday was the perfect example. Pitcher was pitching well. Run him out there to start the next inning. If he struggles with those 7-8-9 batters or the guys at the top after, pull him. But give him the chance. Who knows, Cole Sands might have fared better coming in in the middle of the inning, maybe with one or two outs already recorded. The third time thru the order thing seems a bit ridiculous. Based solely on analytics. A manager should be able to sense that a pitcher has something left in the tank and base his decision making on something other than analytics. If not, why employ a human to do the job. Hire AI or one of those machines everyone is touting to call balls and strikes. Same thing goes for that magical number of a hundred pitches in a start. It's entirely possible that a pitcher just might be able to throw 107 pitches and be effective and not have his arm fall off now or in the future. And, just for Twins fans to note, it ain't just Rocco. There might be some other guys who on occasion make a decision that works out that we feel like Rocco wouldn't have made but by and large they all seem to play with the same playbook.

    it's HIS business. did you not read what he wrote. privacy be damned. By the way he's going to be filming your next colonoscopy.

    Kiersey is a 4A ball player. He's got 4 OF in front of him. 2 of them are even hitting. The only good thing that comes if Kiersey has to play is that it's almost football season.

    You are saying a top 10 draft choice can't hit based on 185 big league plate appearances. I see a bright future. For YOU. In a big league front office.

    We're 4-8. The answer is pretty much ANYBODY

    Not gonna do that at st paul

    ********. Not really a thought of any sort. Just felt I needed to get on here and say something negative about the man. Like all the cool kids in school.
  15. dxpavelka
    If that's the case could this site PLEASE take down the "Zebby leaves Spring game with apparent injury" headline from the home page?
  16. dxpavelka
    C'mon man. What are you doing? Selling positivity? To Twins fans? Read the room dude.

    but...the.....sky........is............falling

    Baseball economics are so f^#@!( up that I don't see much chance of revenue improvement either.
  19. dxpavelka
    replacement(s) could always be worse
  20. dxpavelka
    New ownership is going to come in and spend like drunken sailors. They will sign every available free agent. In fact they will sign so many free agents that other teams will go out of business. We'll be the Yankees / Dodgers / Red Sox / Angels / Padres of flyover country. We'll win so many titles we'll have to BUILD brand new streets exclusively for parades. And we'll still have to have one in St. Paul every once in a while just to avoid boredom with the designated route. Life will be so good.

    Pretty sure LAST year will have little to do with THIS year. Interesting that you brought up Sale, who maybe more than any other pitcher in the game is walking proof that one year as absolutely NO bearing on the next. His combined WAR from 2018 thru 2023 is less than his 2018 or 2024
  22. dxpavelka
    Is this a roster construction issue? Sure. Is this a financial issue? HELL yes. Everything about baseball finances is f#@!%$ up. About the ONLY thing that isn't is the fact that contracts actually mean something. Sign a Randy Dobnak to a three year $9 million contract and you PAY a Randy Dobnak $9 million for three years. Until baseball gets their financial house in order (Salary Cap / Revenue Sharing) NO sympathy for ANYBODY

    He is one of the top dozen starters in the AL. The leap is not as dramatic as you believe.
  24. dxpavelka
    And yet you just cited 5 examples of how it COULD happen.
  25. dxpavelka
    So in other words, they need to have a career type year where everything clicks and comes together to a degree that maybe only happens once. You're right. Something like that has NEVER happened in the history of baseball.
