    Sure. But only if Mauer is released.

    Nobody gets to the majors by accident. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, it just seems so negative to pick apart someone who didn't find success in the big leagues.

    Can we stop with these "worst" threads? These are men doing their best, they might have had bad seasons with the Twins, but earnestly worked hard and had comparatively bad results during their stints with the team. It just seems so pointless to try to call them out and talk sh*t about them. So what? Every team has had players that didn't perform/develop as expected. They are all 1%ers that actually made it to a major league roster.

    Common sense should dictate that if you are dealing with a "total system failure" it would be unwise to promote someone to GM who has learned on the job and operated wholly within that system for the past 30 years and expect that person to make the necessary corrections.

    We shall name him Übermensch. And this video should be played on the Jumbotron after every HR... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je-4yIHMsDk

    Who let Dave St Peter in here?

    Despite the local media blackout I was finally able to hook into the Oakland telecast; just in time to see my sister and her British friends enjoying the game.

    I won't kick a man when he's down. Jepsen did a great job in the closer spot last year. It is a shame that didnt carry over to this season. I wish him the best.

    "Note also that Trey Cabbage will likely be joining the E-Twins in a couple of weeks. He has a back injury - different than last year - and should be manning third base for this team soon."

    The problem starts at the very top, the Pohlads. It starts with Jim Pohlad saying that Terry Ryan's GM position is his "as long as he wants it" (regardless of the product on the field). Describing the current status of the team as a "total system failure" then doing absolutely nothing to address that failure. I really wonder if any of the current generation of Pohlads actually have any real knowledge or interest in running a baseball club? Maybe the family's baseball passion disapeared when Eloise passed away. More to the point of the topic (sorry), most of the teams young prospects were/are highly rated on a national level. There must be an issue in their development through the Twins system that is causing the issues when they reach the big league club. Are the young Latin players able to communicate effectively with the coaching staff and their teamates (and vice versa)? Where is the on field leadership? Is Molitor an effective manager, communicator, motivator? He was hired with no history of showing that he could do these things. How about the veteran precence on the team? Torii proved to be a great uniter and seemily lit a fire under the team last season. We look for leadership from Mauer, Plouffe, Dozier yet these guys dont seem to be willing/able to carry that torch. These young players need to have leadership. I don't see any.

    Thank you! I would love to see him get a start or two in place of Hughes too. Nothing to lose at this point.
  18. luckylager
    Maybe I missed something, but what happened to Alex Meyer? Did he ever report back to Rochester after his demotion?
  19. luckylager
    I am (half-heartedly) praying for rain. In fact, cloud-seeding might be the best idea yet to get through this season. We can't make 'em all up.

    Babe PLOUFFE!!!!!

    It's always darkest before the dawn (or so I keep telling myself).
  22. luckylager
    Why, yes he is... It's a good look.

    Are the striped stirrups that Rosario is wearing a new addition to the uniform? I don't remember seeing striped socks on a Twins player before.
  24. luckylager
    ???!!!!
  25. luckylager
    So he's a travelling minor league coach like Tom Kelly. I can't understand this being something to get all bent out of shape over. Gardy wants to keep active in the game and the organization threw him a bone.
