    Gallo.. 2 day lookback

    CRF commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Don't like the Gallo signing at all. We didn't need him and we could've used $11 mil in a lot better ways. Like keeping Urshela. Or a reliever or two. Sure, Gallo can probably fall out of bed and hit 30-35 homers and get a decent amount of walks, but he's also gonna hit .200 and strike out close to 200 times. Big time rally killer, just like Sano. Gallo makes no sense for this team.

    I don't think anyone really expected them to resign Correa. Would it have been nice? Yep, but it was pretty obvious that he was going to be out of the range that the Twins would pay. Ok, now you have to move on to the other FA's. There definitely were/are some that would seem to fit and help us. Vasquez looks to be a good get. There were some pitchers that sure would look good in a Twins uni, but they either didn't get any interest from our FO, or they got better offers. I'm not smart enough, or informed enough, to know exactly what our FO is thinking and what the plan is. The Gallo signing is just baffling. I hope there are some more signings and moves to be made. There's still time left before ST. This FO has made plenty of moves right up to, and after ST. Maybe it'll all come together somewhat before then. I sure hope so.

    I think attendance will be a key factor. If we start to see Oakland crowds here...then, the end could be near. Yes, the pandemic has had a big effect on that too, but successful teams draw people. I'm not a fan of Falvey and Levine, but I also don't think things will change very much with the Pohlad ownership. They not in baseball to win.
  4. CRF
    Yep, LA got him.

    Just saw that it was for 7 years and $177 mil. We sure could've done that if we wanted to.

    Another "not a surprise" signing. If he didn't go back to Atl, he was going to the Cubbies.
  7. CRF
    I would have rather kept Gio for around the same money. We didn't need Gallo, and he's not worth $11 mil.
  8. CRF
    I'm willing to wait until ST to see what other moves he makes, but if we get more of the same head scratchers...then I really don't care how he leaves, as long as he goes.
  9. CRF
    I would have voted for "Z", but the scale only went to "F". This move makes absolutely no sense. I thought it was a RandBalls Stu satire article, when I first saw it. Hell...let's bring back Sano while we're at it, and see if they can set a teammate record for strike outs.
  10. CRF
    Can't help you my friend...I just jumped.
  11. CRF
    This HAS to be a RandBalls Stu thing...right? This can't possibly be correct, can it? We just got rid of one homer happy strike out guy, and now we get his left handed clone? So what if he's good defensively, WE DON'T NEED GALLO! I'm jumping on the bandwagon with Brock...I'm done with this FO. They must be insane. WTF we need this guy for, I have no idea. I'll take Kep any day over Gallo.
  12. CRF
    Fantastic article Jack!
  13. CRF
    I hear Greg Gagne is available.

    At this point...I'd lean toward doing a full rebuild. Blow it up and start over. Let ALL the kids play. Just like the 1980's. At least that might be fun to watch. It's obvious this FO/ownership isn't going to spend the money necessary to land any of the top FA's out there. Even the one(s) we desperately need. It's just not in their business model plan. Getting Correa last season was a total fluke. Even though there's time left before ST, it sure doesn't look like that they're really trying to make any trades to help things out. All we've done is sign a catcher...which we absolutely had to do. If by some miracle, we'd make the playoffs, we'd get bounced right away by whomever we play. No matter what, it's the same old story here. I love the Twins, and I won't stop watching them, but I know how this tale turns out.
  15. CRF
    Not a surprise...that's where he wanted to go.
  16. CRF
    C'mon...seriously? No, no, no!
  17. CRF
    Ain't gonna happen.
  18. CRF
    Absolutely not.

    Now that CC went to the Giants, the market/money for Swanson goes even higher. I doubt we get him. Get ready for Farmer and whomever else they might bring in here at short.
  20. CRF
    Insane money. Our FO/ownership wasn't going to do that. Best of luck to him. NOW...it gets interesting. What will the FO do with Swanson, if they want to pivot to him...and what will they do as far as trades and other FA's?
  21. CRF
    Meets the requirements for organizational depth...barely.
  22. CRF
    They probably have a better chance of getting Rodan from the Godzilla movies, than they do of getting Rodon. As you can see...Rodan likes to pitch inside!
  23. CRF
    Nah...Carlos Silva!
  24. CRF
    Not a chance.
  25. CRF
    I'd take Swanson in a heartbeat, if we don't sign CC. Swanson is a very good ball player. Might be better offensively, and solid defensively too. My feeling is...we have to get one of those two guys. CC would be the preference, Swanson, if CC goes elsewhere.
