I have to wonder, why all the hate for "Failvine?" Everything I've read and heard is the Twins have the talent to be ahead by 10 games in the division. That means Falvey and Levine have done a hell of a job putting talent on the roster.

And retaining all of them after the failure of 2022.

Who got better last year? Who have they helped get better in the field/at the plate in the past few years?

Compensation round pick #34 overall is Charlee Soto, a 17-year-old RHP from Florida. He is 6'5" and has a fastball that sits at 98 mph.


Prielipp, last year's, is a loss. Out for year. Probably needs a second TJ surgery.

Brilliant

Kris Atteberry has a degree from Stanford in English literature.


Explains why he talks way too much describing play by play

Not Vin Scully.

Hope he never gets the job as an announcer.

As far as the twins problems I blame falvine, what a complete waste. Hear him interviewed never thinks anything’s wrong.

We just plain bad. Offense is offensive.

"We called him Captain America," said former Twins pitcher LaTroy Hawkins, who coached Jenkins at the Prospect Development Pipeline showcase last year. "Very respectful. Works his butt off and loves playing the game of baseball."

Hawkins and Cuddyer worked with him. That's some free scouting that the awesome scouting department couldn't pass up.

If Failvine think it will save their own jobs, I'm sure they will make coaching changes when necessary.

It is clearly necessary now

Why not move on from Popkins?

Give you that, although health had a lot to do with that.
but what about this year? Worse than ever before he broke his leg on a foul ball.

probably the biggest issue with these guys.

Can't DFA Sano last year, just IL him and not drop salary.

Trading for injured pitchers who last a handful of starts or less

Coaches hired that don't do the job and you retain them.

Zero trade value. They kept Steer and others because they could get return if no current path to majors. Encarnacion Strand will probably be traded from Reds for pitching for the same reason.

Oh bullshit. You saw a former Twins prospect who finally put it together with his fourth organization and now you're crowing that you knew it all along.
