The Pohlads will stand behind Falvine and their culture of mediocrity. They will stand behind Sean Johnson and his terrible drafts. They will stick with Rocco and his bad managing. They will assume Paddack will be just fine after a second TJ.

No doubt they will bank on Maeda coming back like he was in 2020. The Wonder Twins will probably stand pat with the pitching staff. The Twins will no doubt chalk it up to bad luck. Mayor Watkins has surpassed every previous Twins 3B coach in sending runners to an untimely demise at home plate. Speaking of Rocco, his game management has been pathetic. A terrible bullpen became a terrible & overworked bullpen. This was bound to confuse the other teams hitters right? Rocco made a horrible situation worse by refusing to let starters pitch more than 2 times through the rotation. The Twins tried to remedy this by cycling 97 pitchers between the majors and AAA. So, Buck is on the IL while the games matter most.Īs inevitable as death and taxes, Smeltzer and Cave returned to the roster and the lineup. A season of favoring the knee aggravated the ligaments in his hip. Worked so much better than just shutting him down when it happened. Turns out he was hurt right away and they were resting him regularly to save on a gimpy knee. Oh yeah, that bs about resting Buxton regularly to keep him healthy. A man so bad he lost his job to Matt Hedges. Jeffers injury exposed the complete lack of depth at catcher. Winder came up, looked good, shut down for second straight year with a shoulder impingement. Then the last strand of Paddack's UCL snapped. First was Sano and we all eat, this opens up more time for young players. Paddack wasn't half bad and even Ted Bundy was contributing. Jeffers and Sanchez looked like a viable catching rotation. Correa was flashing great play and even greater leadership. Kirilloff and Larnach were playing and contributing. We were all heartened when the Twins started the season with Jake Cave off the 40 man roster. But, what the hell, they still had Smeltzer and Uber waiting in the wings. The also brought in Pagan to further weaken an already bad bullpen. Then they made a deal to add hard throwing high era Chris Paddack, despite knowing his elbow was hanging on by a thread. This assured that they would have to rely on unproven Joe Ryan and injury prone Bailey Ober to fill the 2-3 slots. Instead, they decided to sign Homer Bai.I mean JA Happ and Matt Shoe.I mean Al Bundy and Chris Archer. The problem is that they needed another front line starter to go with Gray.

They made a series of moves in trading Fred Garvin for Kiner Filefa and 24 hour later packaging KF and Donaldson for Urshala and Sanchez.

Heading into spring training they shocked everybody and signed Correa. Before the lockout, they nailed Buxton down to multi-year deal that protected them from Buck's extensive injury history. Off Season: Falvine started off looking like they were making the right moves.
