    "Minnesota could end up striking late again on someone like Dallas Keuchel or Cody Allen." Yes, please. Either or both.

    I guess I don't mind this pickup- But I'm more interested in who goes from the 40?

    We had 3 big cornerstones we all waited for a few seasons ago- Sano, Bux, and Berrios. So far, only 1 has been a consistent major league asset, and no world beater. I'm sad. Still somewhat hopeful, but about to cut bait and begin the wait for the Lewis - Kiriloff axis to 'arrive.'

    I'm so glad this big shoe finally dropped. I really happy with this move, not only for his bat that the Twinks sorely needed, but for his potential impact on Sano, Eddie R, maybe even Bux. Thank you, Falvine, for this slightly tardy Xmas gift.

    "Andrew Vasquez was a 32nd-round pick who never garnered prospect list love, but he earned his way all the way to the Major Leagues last season. " True, where MoY allowed him to throw 3-4 pitches per outing once in a while. I'm excited to see some of these young bucks in the next cpl years, and hopefully, we've got a Mgr now that will let them actually play a little.

    Man, Segura is the guy I REALLY wanted. Phillies are building something over there...

    I know this is old news now, but I was just thinking of Tyler Austin waking up and checking his twitter feed that morning.... "They signed who....? What th......? What am I, chopped liver here...?"

    The real Terra Nova crew. Their bodies still rest on the Ross Ice Shelf.

    Long-ago LA production of "Terra Nova." Yours truly 2nd row C., as Robert Scott

    I'd love to see Donaldson in Twinks' pinstripes- but I bet they get Cruz instead. And I love Daniel Murphy- as a lynch-pin piece for a team like the Cubs, but not for this MN team at this time.

    Jax is encouraging, and some good stuff from Bray, too. But the rest of the young Twinkies in the AFL- Pfffft.... Not exactly setting the world on fire. Disappointing, the timing of Rooker's injury, so we couldn't see what he could do against the other talent.

    "...the reality is that those players didn’t blossom under his leadership." Bingo. Nail/head. Anybody who's casually followed these boards knows I was no fan of Molly as a manager. I'm looking forward to the breath of fresh air. But Molly was and is an astute baseball guy, he was just put in the wrong spot, IMO. If he does stay with the org, and re-assumes that roving instructor role he had, all the better for him and the Twinks' prospects. He's got a lot to offer. But there's the reality. Yes, we had that one unexpected season in the sun- but for all the collective wisdom in the dugout, the fact that Sano, Bux, Kep, among others, didn't take the next step on the MLb level is a failing, and not only on those players' parts. If one or two guys don't blossom, well, that's the cruel mistress called baseball. But for nearly every prospect to fall on his face as those guys had speaks to something more. Someone, somehow, has to find the key to unlock that potential that each of them has shown in flashes, on a regular basis. Fingers crossed that Rocco and whatever crew he assembles has a few more keys on their ring. I am hopeful that we'll see less WTF lineups and in-game choices made. Hopeful that we don't burn up BP guys, or trust "vets" in key lineup spots when they're obviously not producing. Good luck to Rocco, and the Twinks. I can only think of him being another major arrow in the quiver when it comes time to recruiting quality FA's this winter.

    My thoughts exactly. Actually, my thoughts since about 4 years ago.

    Ahhhh, September. It was tough that Castro went down as early as he did. But having that injury begin the MoY-BWilson love affair was even tougher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we needed a solid receiver, etc etc etc. But this season was over as far as competing long ago. The FO didn't even trust Astudillo in the minors, constantly bringing in these cuppa-coffee-in-the-majors guys to man the dish at Rochester. The way MoY used (more like didn't use...) Astudillo the first time he was up was a disgrace. We didn't need months of BWilson to be competitive. We weren't. We wouldn't have caught Cleveland this year anyway, but by Gum, this team sure would have been more interesting to watch, and no doubt we'd have won more games with the infusion of offensive and team-building energy with Stu in there instead of Bobby. That was a regime failure- from Falvine to MoY.
  20. David HK
    I'll say again- I have no earthly idea what MoY's BWilson fixation was about all year long, but dang, I sure would have loved seeing Stu in the batter's box for most, if not all, of Bobby's turns. Would it have made a difference in the season? Not much. But at least this club would have looked like they were trying...

    It's always sweet to beat dem Yanks. It's sweeter to take a series. And it's even sweeter this time, because we gave 'em a little dent in the old Wild Card race! Go A's! Moider dem Yanks!!

    Hopefully it follows them to Minny....

    I heartily concur. I can see Daniel Murphy's point about not bunting because he's more valuable if he hits one in an alley- but he's Daniel Murphy. Taking a team like, oh, say, one that's not as good as the Cubs-- hmmm... With the plethora of banjo hitters the Twinks had this year, why not go for this kind of strategy? A return to the Piranha days would have been just the ticket for a moribund year like this. If they lose to the Yankees, for example, why not frustrate the hell out of 'em in the process, and who knows? Getting guys on base, anything can happen. They played around with the "opener" a bit so far, why not play around with dinkin' and doinkin' the ball around the yard, too?

    Congrats to the Miracle Men! Well done all around! It looks like this is where the future is brewing, and things are cooking-- A big tip of the cap to Seth- It's a lot of work and bother to go through every day and sift through the box scores and such to bring us such a great load of info. Especially in this lost season, I know I'm not the only one who looked forward to the minor league updates regularly, for some glimmers of hope. So thanks to the Miracle, E-town, and the Kernels who played playoff-caliber baseball, and to all the players and coaches who toil in the fields in pursuit of a dream. Good luck, one and all.
