There it is.

This team needs a new identity. Cave needs to go, Dobnak and Rooker need to be demoted, Call up Law, AK and Broxton. I really think Twins need a TK type manager. Twins need to play fundamental baseball because that's why we love the game of baseball.

Garver .190

Btw, I prefer Jeffers over Garver. At least Jeffers can call a good game. At this point I don't even care about his bat. Garver is not doing anything well anyway and he's old and expensive for his production.

And he is our best reliever so far. He is our secret weapon.

This team is just not interested in winning.

They are competing who can hit lower and lower and lower avg. A blind guy might hit better.

This bullpen has to be one of the worst.

If Dobnak and Cave still have a spot on major league roster, why bother to perform? If the management don't do anything, this is the team they deserve to have.

His fastball is not a problem. The location of his fastball is the problem.

Alcala just has to learn from these. If he throws fastball right down the middle for strike three, he's going to get killed every single time.

Athletics are running around...I guess they don't have much respect for Garver. Astudillo should never be a starter. Cave, Dobnak and Smeltzer should never be on the roster.

A fresh but ineffective arm.

Kirilloff, Broxton and Law should be on the taxi squad. They really need to get Broxton and Law on the 40 man roster.

Arraez needs to bat leadoff no matter what.

Cave and Dobnak are still around, why not call up Law and Kirilloff/Broxton and demote them?

A lineup of Buxton, Arraez, Cruz, Kirilloff, Donaldson, Kepler, Garver, Broxton, Simmons should be good both offensively and defensively. (Reserve: Polanco, Sano, Jeffers, Astudillo). Starters: Maeda, Berrios, Pineda, Shoemaker, Happ. Bullpen: Alcala (closer), Rogers, Robles, Duffey, Law, Thorpe (long reliever) Colome (low leverage and mop up) and Thielbar (mop up). Cave needs to go, Garlick and Dobnak need to be demoted.

A lineup of Arraez, Donaldson, Cruz, Buxton, Kirilloff, Kepler, Sano, Garver, Simmons should be good enough offensively.

Thorpe should utilize his sliders and off-speed pitches more and he really needs to locate his fastball. He is going to be killed if he keeps throwing his low speed fastball in the middle of the plate. I think Thorpe has the stuff to be successful. He just has to trust it and be smart.

Release Cave, call up Broxton. Demote Dobnak, call up Law. Let Thorpe be the long man instead. Let Alcala be the closer. Trust starters more and let them pitch through. I just don't have much faith in this bullpen.

I think this team needs a new FO and a new manager.

I want Cave gone before the season even started...

So far only Alcala is reliable...

I said this bullpen is going to be a problem before the season even started. It's actually worse than I thought. It's probably one of the worst.

When you keep sending out a future closer to mop up, this is what you deserve.
