    I’d move Buxton to 1B. Maybe there will be less wear and tear on his body. Lots of older players make the move (Mauer, etc) and the farm system is loaded with outfielders. Lewis has shown he’s not viable. I doubt they resign Bell and the team doesn’t seem to think Sabato will be a major leaguer.

    I’d wait a week till after the Braves and Padres to implement these changes but you’re right on the mark. OTOH, if Martin goes on the DL, might as well see Jenkins Monday night against the Braves.

    All this to remedy the Varland mistake. But Hoffman is very good and wouldn’t be here unless the Jays have Louie. Shows how dysfunctional Falvey and Joe Pohlad were.
  4. palmspringstwinsfan
    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.
  7. palmspringstwinsfan
    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.
  14. palmspringstwinsfan
    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.
  15. palmspringstwinsfan
    The next move is adding back Fitzgerald and getting rid of Vidal.
  16. palmspringstwinsfan
    Twins can’t be that good at developing players-4th place 2 years in a row in baseball’s weakest division.
  17. palmspringstwinsfan
    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
  19. palmspringstwinsfan
    I want to salute all the loyal, diehard Twins fans who wrote in about this extremely low wattage move. It’s obvious they care more about the team than Falvey and Pohlad do. I wonder sometimes if Falvey makes these moves just to pull the fans’ chains.
  20. palmspringstwinsfan
    Based on these moves, I’d suggest the Twins are a last place team unless they add at least 3.0 WAR.
  21. palmspringstwinsfan
    More product placement than a James Bond movie. Nice work.
  22. palmspringstwinsfan
    I like Andujar in a platoon with Clemens but my preference at 1st is to trade for Jonathon Long of the Cubs who’s blocked by Michael Busch. Maybe Mick Abel or SWR could bring him over.
  23. palmspringstwinsfan
    Great piece Nick. There’s so much work to do on this roster I can only wonder how the FO let it get so bad. Cutting payroll doesn’t speak to the glut of LH OFers and others who don’t offer value (Gasper, Julien, etc). It just looks like FO incompetence.

    This article is one Cody over the clickbait line

    I’m guessing he’s been instructed by Falvey to not use the term “rebuild.”
