    The Twins probably didn't want to pay him.

    I think a C- is being generous. A 29-28 record for the last two months is nothing to crow about, If you asked fans before the start of the season if a .500 record would be acceptable in 2021 they would have laughed at you. Twins fans and baseball experts all predicted a huge year for the Twins and the Twins FO and Baldelli fooled us all The only thing I see standing between Baldelli and a big red F is the Twins FO.

    Simmons is no where near the Twins worst free agent signings?
  5. jjswol
    Why do you think that at some point he will stop getting hurt? Some people are more prone to injury and healing times are slower.

    Besides being a Twins number one pick what has Cavaco done to warrant such a high rating?

    This was a good trade for the Rays, Twins and Nelson Cruz. Everyone should be pleased with what they received.
  8. jjswol
    He should absolutely be traded, right on.

    I think folks give this FO too much credit. Most of the players that have made Falvey and Levine look good were brought in under the Terry Ryan regime. The FO was supposed to be pitching savy but it is hard to understand why they have brought in has been's like Homer Bailey, Rich Hill, JA Happ and Matt Shoemaker to complement the starting rotation. Ryan's organization didn't use analytics enough and this Falvey regime uses it too much. We need to find a happy medium here. Another issue I have with this organization is that they seem to be home run happy, baseball is not just about waiting for a home run.

    For a FO that is supposedly pitcher savy they sure seemed to make a lot of mistakes with their off-season pitching moves Their approach seems to be to sign a slew of has-been's and hope that one or two turn out to be keepers. It is not easy making silk out of a sow's ears and you will fail more times than you succeed. Maybe a better approach is to spend some money and sign some proven talent and hope that works out better. But what do I know? I don't have a degree from one of those fancy eastern schools.

    I am a big believer in that minor league players should be brought up sooner than later for a big league trial. Good for the player and good for the big league team to see how the player reacts. If only a few of these early call-ups stick in the big leagues the organization comes out ahead. Particularly with pitchers I think, they have only so many bullets in their arsenal, why waste them in the minor leagues. If they can't cut it, their spot in the minor leagues will still be there waiting for them. I think you can learn more in two weeks in the big leagues than you can learn in a season in the minors.

    Sounds good. I think one of the best parts of the new site is how clean and uncluttered it looks. Can't wait for you to get rid of that orange bar, it definitely catches your eye and serves it purpose but for some reason it just "grates" on me. Have a great day.

    Nice job to all. I like the red and white but miss seeing some blue.

    I can't wait to see the Royals play the Twins and see what they really have in KC. Should be fun to watch.

    One thing you didn't touch on here Seth is the minor league schedules. If you look at each of these teams schedules, the games both home and away are set up in six game blocks so each series is actually six games. I wonder what impact these six games series will have on the pitchers or the hitters as they become so familiar with each other of that short time period. I wonder too if this is another one of MLB's tests and if this practice will move to the big leagues. I suppose it can cut down on travel costs and it may benefit the players with less actual travel and more rest time.

    If Kirilloff is not playing left field this year full time the Twins FO screwed up big time not keeping Eddie Rosario.
  17. jjswol
    A good player and a very nice person, he will be missed in baseball.
  18. jjswol
    I like Liam Hendriks a lot but the White Sox over paid for a reliever that has been great but the mileage is starting to accumulate. The problem with free agency is that you are always paying for history. I wish Hendriks the best but the White Sox will regret this signing long term. In addition, Hendriks will find a huge difference in pitching in the White Sox band box versus in Oakland.

    If the Twins FO isn't inquiring into all the FA's they are not doing their job. Should just be common sense that they would.
  20. jjswol
    Eddie is a "good news/bad news" type of player but I think the Twins will miss his RBI's even if the analytics folks don't value RBI any more. Frustrating sometimes? Absolutely, but is big in the clubhouse and will be missed.
  21. jjswol
    An extension after one big league game? I don't think so. I think Kirilloff will be a great big league player but know one really knows for sure. Can't believe the FO would take a high risk gamble like that.

    Torii Hunter was a wonderful player for the Twins but he is not a hall of famer.
  23. jjswol
    I don't think the Twins need another hitter (Story) that strikes out 170+ times every season.

    I like Kirilloff a lot. Having said that, I am old school and believe you have to prove yourself before you get the money. That doesn't mean a team should not pay a player what he is worth when he has no leverage, it just means that if Kirilloff should put up the numbers first before he gets the big bucks.
