Definitely. They did their best to confuse us with different timelines, worlds, and who is or isn't a host. I guess William is a human that transitioned to being a host later on? Very disappointed after they were gaining steam episodes 2-5 in season 2.
Talking about selling year after year is boring. Like this team needs more flawed A level prospects in the system. They need difference makers. Not more people that could be good if they developed their bat/glove, whatever.
It's reasonable for them to think Odorizzi and Lynn would be better than Mejia. Mejia was in their plans IMO as a #4/5 starter until they made the late addition of Lynn.
In February he was penciled in as the #4 starter and it wasn't out of place. I like that they tried to aim higher with the acquisitions of Odorizzi and Lynn. Unfortunately Odorizzi is falling apart and it makes sense why he was traded for a low level SS prospect.
There were signs and information all the way back in March where the early May timeline looked questionable. Berardino wrote and I posted an article about Erv not being able to make a fist post surgery in mid-March. Even at that time no one seemed to raise an eyebrow that the time line was extremely optimistic. The signs were there. The media chose to ignore it and didn't question the early May timeline.
Per Berardino, Ervin wasn't able to top 90 MPH with his fastball during his last rehab outing on Friday. The timeline set in March was silly. Now it's looking more and more like we won't see Erv in a Twins uniform again. https://www.twincities.com/2018/06/23/ervin-santanas-rough-journey-continues-to-drag-on-following-surgery/
I'm with you. But clearly the FO values his defense and presence in the MLB clubhouse. IMO he should stay down until he figures out his approach at the plate. However, they rushed him back before. Looks like they're going to do it again.
If Buxton is healthy I guess call him up. Can't say I'm excited that he's turned a corner at the plate. Probably going to be a lot of the same we saw earlier this season.
Don't call up Buxton for LaMarre. Learn from your mistakes just this year when you called him up too quickly. Nothing about his performance in AAA screams I'm ready to hit MLB pitching.
A better visual, which requires someone like Bark's Lounge, is photshopping Falvine on the board. With Molly as Jack, sinking toward the bottom of the ocean.
