The Joey Gallo signing makes sense, actually
FrankQuilicy commented on Greggory Masterson's blog entry in Brewed in the Trough
From what we've seen of this coaching staff and front office the last few years, I think they should just leave Gallo's swing Alone. -
The Joey Gallo signing makes sense, actually
FrankQuilicy commented on Greggory Masterson's blog entry in Brewed in the Trough
Im not mad about signing Gallo, but why stop there? Jean Segura, Taylor Rogers, Nathan Eovaldi, David Phelps, Trey Mancini, Will Meyers, and Michael Fullmer are still available....DO SOMETHING! -
Money that was for C4? Youre kidding right? Even at 10 mil a year for Gio's arbitration that money was NOTHING to sway any c4 negotiations. Let's nust see it for what it is......another FO Falvine Failure. Urshela was one of the only Twins to show up every day last year. And they got Squat for him. What a bold move, and then they sit on their hands while almost every free agent goes off the board. I like Vasquez and I see the value in Gallo but..... Jim Pohlad thinks you A+ ask the fans...I say D-.

I say true all that. I think this F.O. must go. but the reality is....Joe Pohlad isnt going to make that move until he sees firsthand what happens to the boys in a men's world. At least for one season. I find it interesting how we keep hearing them say that they need a rh bat so badly. Whats the logic there? I saw things change due to injuries last year, but let's be real here. They need a front line ss. They need a #1 starter. They needed another catcher. And the bullpen is at least average if Alcala comes back and one of the left over starters slots in at long relief. Joey Gallo is a good ballplayer. it wasn't that long ago that I am sure he won a gold glove for the Rangers. in my opinion, why did they need another rh bat anyway? They already have Vasquez, Jeffers, Miranda, Farmer, Buxton, and Celestino, Garlick and Polanco as a switch hitter. Signing Gallo wasn't necessarily a bad move, with him, Buxton, and maybe Kepler, that is a world class defensive outfield. Does it open the door for some trades. Yes I'm sure, but let's not be that quick to judge Gallo.

Well if we didn't know in 2016 we all should know now. I remember when Ralph Houk was brought in to oversee Tom Kelly and Andy McPhail. Who hired the bogus training staff? Who hired the baserunning coach? Who DIDN'T hire a Major League Pitching Coach? Do we ever work on situational hitting? At what point do we spit out the kool ade and realize that the stink we see on the field is emanating from the executive offices.

I dont fault them for not matching that offer to Correa. 13 years was asinine but... Have you ever met someone you just didn't like and you could mot explain why? After 6+ years i never liked Falvey OR Levine. After careful contemplation i think i now know why. Its because they come across as they are so much smarter than everybody( fans, media, other executives, players). When really all they are, are two boys in a Man's world. This is the first real responsibility they've ever had aside from carrying francona's bags and kissing jon Daniel's butt. No wonder the reds, a's and everybody else licks their chops when they come calling about a trade. Billy Beane outclasses them so bad. What a joke.

What We Know About the Twins and Dansby Swanson
FrankQuilicy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
They really have to go all in on Swanson...Lewis will never be an elite ss, and Lee is light years away if he even has a chance to be. Getting Vasquez was a good move. The next pressing need is ss, not the rotation or the bullpen. If the twins succeed in 2023 the trainer may have to be the team mvp. -
id be very skeptical about the season if we started it with Farmer at ss. IMO the starting pitching can survive as it is, and depending on the health or should say rehab of Alcala, the bullpen should be okay too. I've lost faith in this FO. I should say I never had any. Getting Vasquez was a good move but we absolutely need a better shortstop than anyone on our current roster. Staying healthy could be a key, and Jeeze, are we really going into 2023 with Pete Mackey as a pitching coach? YIKES

Twins Winter Meetings Preview
FrankQuilicy replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yeah...Are you kidding me? Eddie Rosario was a fricken warrior! Can you name the player with the most RBIs for the Bomba Squad? If you can't then get off this site. Non tendering Rosario was the 2nd most asinine decision Falvey ever made. The first was trading Escobar.- 37 replies

I as well want nothing more than success for the Twins. I hope Joe Pohlad gets a free reign to do as he sees fit. Ultimately I hope he will assess the ineptitude of this front office and bring someone(s) that have a loyalty to the organization. I'm sorry but i do not feel the current fo has ANY lotalty to us
-
I didn't really see anything wrong with the way Jim did things. It seemed to be pretty low key, except when he gave the Falvines an A+ for the 2021 dumpster fire. If anything Joe is a more informed baseball dude and that should light a fire under Derek's a$$. I think the free pass regime has run its course. Sorry boys, we will need to see Results.

Rumor: Twins Showing Interest in OF Mitch Haniger

Rumor: Twins Showing Interest in OF Mitch Haniger
FrankQuilicy replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
VI think Haniger would be great! The problem is he really hasn't played much left field in his career. assuming we wanna go into the year with Kep in right and Buxton in center well now what? Haniger won't come here to be a bench player, nor should he. Kepler could prolly be an above average defender even in left field. None of it matters if we don't get Correa back. -
And in response, i know how to spell my name...and it will take way more than Kepler to get Lopez from Miami. Kepler is better served in rf for the Twins. We already know he won't hit great(although the new rules will help) but as a defender i would argue he's a top 3 right fielder. Most teams wouldnt value his kind of defense and versatility. And by the way, why is it a thing here to fix things that aren't wrong? Where's the story about tendering Pagan, or trading Urshela for NOTHING

Ok homey, simply put, this team from the top down sucks. whatever talent Falvey inherited, he has succeeded in ruining it. We let him hire a manager, and pitching coach. We let him spend millions on high tech stress plates, and spin machines we let him hire 200 analytics staffers to basically do the job that one man, or woman can do. (See Book of Joe) and after six years we still have to hear how great Derek Falvey is. The problem is he can't hear any of your praises because his face is still up terry francona's ass. What a waste of 7 years. I told you so!

yes Dave St. Peter, do my next evaluation, and maybe i can get Scott Boras to negotiate for me. Jeeze Louise, what's in that kool aide....? Ok lets just say all this is pre-mature and then when the off season sinks in and the idiocracy of 2022 sinks in these votes of confidence will dissolve fast.

Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
FrankQuilicy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
24-26 and its so early to say but i bet if they tell him, Lee makes a MLB shortstop. My point is what the hell do we do while we wait? -
Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
FrankQuilicy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
right! we have no major league ready shortstop. Someone will give Correa 8 yrs, 250 mil. Why not us. Its cheap if you really analyze it. I dont think he cares about what Seager got, he wants the security. I saw him live! He's the real deal. -
Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
FrankQuilicy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
man it's awful optimistic to see Lee being ready before 2025. Lewis can handle ss when his knee recovers but for how long? For 2023 they can either put Gordon or Polanco there, Palacios, wait for Lewis...or just sign Correa to as much of a deal he wants and let those guys fill in where they fit in. Also the 3b job has got to stay with Urshela. That dude was just Solid all fricken year. -
Carlos Correa Makes His Decision Clear
FrankQuilicy replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
exactly, so a multi year deal with Correa makes great sense. Correa is so baseball smart, and his shelf life is probably longer then either Polanco, or Arraez...i see him playing 2nd, or 1st, maybe even some 3rd, in the last years of an 8 year contract.
