    http://www.startribune.com/twins-fire-wayne-krivsky-a-former-front-office-executive/439712033/ He gone.

    I would say Grossman and Gimenez wont be back next year. That would free up at bats for Garver. While he's warranted a call up with his play this year, there just isn't room right now.
  4. Obsvr
    Good grief. What's he had, two starts?
  5. Obsvr
    Did we pick up a new farm team?
  6. Obsvr
    It's all downhill from here. Wasted pick.
  7. Obsvr
    I expect nothing less than dominance. I'd say cut him and their losses right now.
  8. Obsvr
    They should be drafting people that can pitch more than 2/3 of an inning.
  9. Obsvr
    What a waste, drafting Leach.

    This team out performed expectations early and has slid back to what they really have been all along. Even if they made the playoffs, they would have had zero chance to get through NY or Houston. Great moves to strengthen the system. Guys who just got to AA or have the Stats in high A to warrant a move to AA within a year are the guys you want to target. Kintzler and Garcia simply were not worth a prospect(s) on the verge of being MLB ready. With Mauer being in his last year next year its not inconceivable that the FO wont sign an impact arm this off-season and another the following year.. Sprinkle in what we have in AA right now and you have the makings of solid staff in 2019. The next couple of years look interesting with Berrios, Mejia, Gonsalves, Jorge, Romero, Littell, Rosario, Curtiss, Bard, Moya and a few others could round out a nice staff with a few veteran additions.

    who cares.

    Vargas: Wont be gone because none of the contending teams needs or wants him. Santana: Could and hopefully will go. Whoever loses out on Gray could get him Rosario: Not going anywhere. Still has upside but there are better options out there for contending teams. Buxton: Also not going anywhere. Even if they did want to trade him (they don't) no contending team is going to trade for a work in progress that is hitting .200, no matter how much upside he has.

    lol. why would they ever bring up another outfielder to replace their hurt first baseman. I'd like to see them find a way to get him up here, but people need to chill.
  14. Obsvr
    I'm guessing that they would probably rather not make a 40 man move if they dont have to, so my guess is it wont be Gonsalves. Even though it lines up well for him. I don't think Gee has pitched in since he was DFA'd, so I dont think it would be him either. Jorge or Romero seem to be the most logical...fingers crossed.
  15. Obsvr
    Well...Santiago to the DL... Curious to see who they go with. Probably Gee but I sure hope not.
  16. Obsvr
    My point is that 2 of the last 3 years they are or have been a contending team. You don't trade two of your anchors during the season. I would argue that offense, good defense and decent enough starting pitching isn't smoke and mirrors. Quite frankly, the top end of the rotation has been good (enough)...the top end of the relief corps has been good (enough). I'd argue that this team isn't rebuilding. It's mostly built. Almost every team has issues with their 3,4,5,6 and 7 starters and bullpen and the twins are no different, which is why they are in contention in weaker division. Do they need to find more stability on the staff? Of course. Hopefully they will start bringing up some pitchers (both starters and relievers) for a look.
  17. Obsvr
    Sorry, but that's a terrible take and it's never going to or should happen. Yes...last year was about as bad is could possibly get, but if you look at the last 2.5 seasons the team is extremely competitive. You don't trade your ace, all star pitcher in this case. Same with Dozier. If they could have fleeced somebody last year at his high point, fine. But the central division is weak and isn't going to get much stronger anytime soon. Cleveland may eventually separate themselves this year, but I dont see it...Chicago is treading water on a downtrend/rebuild, the Royals don't scare anybody and while better of late, are also trending down and the Tigers are selling this year. There is no reason to trade Santana, since this team is also shaping up to be one of the stronger teams in the division next year as well. This team is competing and winning, even with a mostly terrible pitching staff. I think Gibson has bought himself some time....I'd love to see Santiago DFA'd and Gonsalves or Romero slotted in. I'd also like to see Bard and Curtiss up as well. Santana is the anchor for a competitive team, trading him is ludicrous.

    This regime is horribly mishandling this kid. How is he not on a plane to Boston!?
  19. Obsvr
    ONE GAME. ONE. chill out ffs.
  20. Obsvr
    lol. the jadedness of this place is astounding. chill out...enjoy the decent baseball while it lasts.
  21. Obsvr
    He's hitting .200 with 3 hr's and a 30% strike out rate...I dont think he's going anywhere.
  22. Obsvr
    Interesting idea, signing a Bautista type of guy. That said, I think it's probably more bluster trying to get the dodgers to blink.
  23. Obsvr
    So, you know for a fact that they didn't call the dodgers and any other teams they are dealing with before they told the media? Zero chance the Dodgers and other teams found out that way.

    This x's 1000

    Anybody got a line on what Jeff Gillooly and/or Tanya Harding are up to these days?
