    Isn't that what Falvey did
  2. lukeduke1980
    Instead of missing the 2nd half of the season, try more DH and days off up to the trade deadline, then if you're in contention, he probably plays more CF. I think the spirit of the Michael Taylor plan.

    Amongst others things, Kreidler, Larnach and Lewis all turned into pumpkins. Hard to make up for injuries when the depth regresses.
  4. lukeduke1980
    Josh Bell's contract looks to be a mutual option for 10 million. I almost bet he declines it if the free agent market is weak.

    The Huskey signing was a big deal in an otherwise quiet offseason in the punchless and star starved post- Puckett era. RIP.

    'Minnesotan fans don't care about mediocre baseball' fixes it for me. Summer is too precious and the mediocrity has become too prevalent
  7. lukeduke1980
    Call up Sabato
  8. lukeduke1980
    Who starts game 1 of a hypothetical playoff series vs the Twins Cameron or Dobnak
  9. lukeduke1980
    Adding to Nashville's point- who knows how other teams are valuing 2027 control if there is a labor standoff and maybe not a season. Just keep him and if nothing changes to salary cap/floor/etc just trade him next year once a season starts

    Bring up anyone from AA or A ball who has 'stuff' and hope it can be harnessed on the fly like K Rod for the Angels back in the day. No idea who that would be but it has a better chance than more waiver wire fodder.
  11. lukeduke1980
    Will there be a payroll floor as part of the cba? If so I'd rather keep Ryan than sign a pile of Josh Bell contracts in order to meet the minimum.
  12. lukeduke1980
    This feels like Miguel Sano 2.0
  13. lukeduke1980
    Ryan has to pitch to rebuild some trade value. He might pass a physical but any team is going to declare that there's risk with his elbow. You hope some team is aggressive and still takes a chance with a decent offer but as of today I'd think it would be less than a month ago
  14. lukeduke1980
    The Brewers' success is probably TP's goal. I think further tearing down the team to get there is an indictment on Falveys inability to build it in the first place, or at least would be in TP's eyes. I'm guessing Falvey wanted to start over and trade everyone, but TP didn't think Falvey should be the one to do so.
  15. lukeduke1980
    Do we get to keep Taylor Rogers was was he never technically signed
  16. lukeduke1980
    His memoir is a must read. Great American baseball story
  17. lukeduke1980
    Can we take Byron Buxton's health for granted now? is my question
  18. lukeduke1980
    500 million of debt is what gets a Pohlad brother replaced by another. I think 'the core' gets a half season due to low trade value of Lopez off injury, and relatively low salaries of Ryan, Buck. If things go south the tear down commences.
  19. lukeduke1980
    Is Aaron Sabato still around? I'd rather the spring training at bats go to him
  20. lukeduke1980
    I'm just excited about the Pohlads saving 75k on the Topa deal - nice work Falvey
  21. lukeduke1980
    I thought he'd be back now not sure if we can afford him
  22. lukeduke1980
    Hope that this team can be competitive in the Central? Sure I can see that by 27, 28. Compete for a Pennant? That's so far away even if things go right.
  23. lukeduke1980
    'Consider yourselves lucky to have a 100 million dollar payroll because we're losing so much money because you don't come to games.' combines well with 'We're banking on hope and that the next manager can develop this wave of minor leaguers into fully functioning members of the proven Falvey baseball system'. I think Falveys just a Yes Man for a very prestigious roles in MLB, that he gets to keep by being a Yes Man.
  24. lukeduke1980
    I suppose then Falvey gets minimum 3 more years to see next manager through.
  25. lukeduke1980
    Why it's not like we had to give up on a promising young arm get him back
