    The only logical things to do are to trade Larnach and Jeffers for immediate pitching help if you can get it. Then you have to hope that Jenkins is ready and Caratini/Jackson wasn’t an illusion.

    They tried Jackson in LF during spring training. I would not be surprised if they did it again against a LHP. It may not be a great idea, but it wouldn’t be the first one they’ve had.

    If the team is finally serious about defense, then Lee probably needs to be at 2nd. Keaschall and Lewis would both fit better at 1B though they can’t both make the move. It’s great to see Kreidler at SS.

    I’d be playing him at SS everyday. Even if he can hit .220, he’d solidify the infield. Lee can play 2nd and let Keaschall play 1st with Clemens. I don’t really understand why the Twins are so willing to give up on defense.

    “Management malpractice” may be this year’s “total system breakdown “. If the Twins could turn a double play the way this writer turns a phrase, they would not be headed to last place

    I was dreaming that our GM called the Cinncy GM during the recent series and offered Larnach (and someone else/cash) to the Reds for Spencer Steer. Twins could use a right handed 1B/OF and the Reds need a left handed bat. Oh well it was just a dream. Now I’m dreaming that Keaschall moves to 1B, Lee to 2B and Kreidler to SS to improve the defense. A guy can dream can’t he?

    I saw almost no signs of life from his bat, which is especially concerning given how hyped up he was about Shelton as manager. Lewis is a very fragile player mentally so when he’s happy and not producing, that signals big problems.

    The Whiteys spent some money this year on moves the Twins could have made-Dominguez, Hayes, Murakami (sp?)-while it’s hard to see where the Twins improved at all. Remember the Sox outplayed the Twins after the fire sale. When one organization is trying to improve and the other isn’t, don’t be surprised when Chicago finishes ahead of the Twins and there’s another fire sale in Minneapolis.

    When you consider the several up and down seasons under Falvey, you realize he was just an average baseball executive. That may be better than what comes next, but who knows? In the meantime, good-bye and good luck.

    Articles like this make no sense and add nothing to the conversation. The team is about as likely to sign Valdez as it is to trade for Ohtani. Do better.
  32. palmspringstwinsfan
    The next move is adding back Fitzgerald and getting rid of Vidal.

    Twins can’t be that good at developing players-4th place 2 years in a row in baseball’s weakest division.

    The Pohlads are just bad business people-simple as that. The old man made a fortune as a vulture but the family has shown no acumen since then. $44m invested in the S&P in 1984 , with dividends reinvested, would be worth more than $4 billion today. If you can’t beat that running private businesses, including a baseball monolopy in an affluent market, you should get out of business and just be a passive investor.

    This was well done but it would be even funnier if it weren’t so close to true
