Canadian Saint Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Oh ****, I forgot we had our own sub. So this season blows, however it seemed inevitable when we went from 'playoffs!' to 'rebuild' then back to 'playoffs!' and now missing. It doesn't help when two of our young cornerstones regress horribly. I'm fairly confident Sano figures it out, but Buxton. Yikes. Between unable to stay healthy, and having an approach at the plate that is basically guessing, I'm not even sure he knows what he's doing. Upon being sent down he didn't exactly blow anyone away before going on DL. This offseason is going to be the most crucial for Falvine in deciding where this team goes. We have a lot of contracts that are done and we should have some major room in the budget. At the same time, we have so many holes minus signing 2-3 major free agents (will never happen), we're not close to competing. Apart from the personnel problem, I do think we have a problem with our coaching, specifically our manager. I love Molly, but I really wish he didn't sign an extension last year. I get it, we had to sign him after last season, but between him making the same mistakes (bullpen usage), I really hated the earlier attitude about 'playing the right way' he illustrated. I also don't think he's the guy for us moving forward. I honestly can't tell you what the best move is for Falvine, because this is leading right to baseball purgatory. Not good enough to challenge for the playoffs, not bad enough for a top pick. Good thing for Falvine is that we have both a good farm system and lots of budget space, so they should have flexibility to do what they decide is best.

The Gnat Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Sano has picked it back up since coming back up. Seems like he's back to being more patient at the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 So while the major league team is en fuego (I probably butchered that), I have to say I haven't been this excited about our minor league system as a whole in a while. I love the sheer amount of talent we have throughout the system. With Terry Ryan teams the talent level would really crater after the first 10 or so, but under Falvine we have guys in the early 20s who have interesting potential. Pitching especially has depth that I haven't seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Probably won't watch but I'm excited to see that Gonsalves is finally coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Saint Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So Molly is out and we're on the lookout for a new manager. Anyone have any preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Morrison , Santana, and likely Mauer gone this year. Going to have some money to spend this offseason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 60 million less right than what we spent last season. Should be able to get a few nice players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Signed Jonathan Shoop. Could be a good deal if he returns to his old form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hey nice, we got a solid DH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Huge move by the Twins to lock him up. As long as he doesn't decide to get suspended again, it's going to be a very nice move. Also, even if he moves to 2B, it likely will still be a good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Twins sign Marwin Gonzales to a 2 year deal. Can play almost any position. Good signing!! Edited February 22, 2019 by TENINCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Buxton is having a great spring training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Twins have done pretty well to start the season. Getting 2 of 3 from the Indians is a really nice way to start. I like the fact that it was a close win, a close loss, and then a big win, nice to see the Twins win a close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
