The annual FIRE EVERYONE on the twins staff thread

[slabchaser]

LET IT BEGIN

[fishin58]

These started back in August, when everyone stabbed the Twins with a fork, then proclaimed they never got off board then on gain then off again. We should give them spoons and maybe a spork down the road.

slabchaser....YOU'RE FIRED!

[slabchaser]

awww I thought I would atleast make it further then gardy. I vote we fire the entire coaching staff and then have high expectations for next year that will ultimatly dissapoint us and dont forget we will blame the umps for jobing us all year long.

[IFallsRon]

Convince me that the staff is better than .500 and can teach fundamentals and they can keep their jobs. We see the same mistakes in the field, on the bases and from the pitching staff. Either the players are stupid or the staff can't coach.

Maybe we could just trade all of the Twins players and coaches to the National league for the Chicago Cubs and have a consistant winner.

you kidden me. i dont understand why you all want the twins to be fired and let go. maybe we should hit the ball when we have 17 guys on base in a 11 inning game, or not throw a fastball over the heart of the plate to A rod to win the game!

Think about it!

I agree 100% Bass. Personally I don't want much to any of them gone. A few pieces here and there, but everyone? NO thanks.

coaches can only do so much, and when the players dont perform with that many chances, its not the coaching staff

Here I am! I said stick em! If I could name one, I'd say Go-Go, not for tripping around second but taking up a roster space, get someone that can hit at least .250

[Born2Fish]

I almost agree with you there. But there is something in baseball that is has always been held in high regards...potential. Not that I think he has much, but someone must. In his defense he is still very young, and still does not have all that much experience. Personally I could care less if they got rid of him. We all know the guys we NEED to keep around. The Twins have a very good core of players that could be something special. But I also think they are a few more guys away from getting over the proverbial "hump". I would really like to see the Twins get a couple more pieces to the puzzle this year.

[blue_healer_guy]

We all would, but that doesn't happen with the current ownership. They are right now counting the dollars they made this year, telling themselves it was a good year. All knowing that if they keep their product just good enough, it will last and last and last until we say enough is enough by not going to the games.

[bassNspear]

bron, i would agree with you on the word POTENTIAL, but sometimes they take it way to wfar, and have guys still playing that are just not going to make it anymore!

[Coach1310]

Okay.... not a FIRE EVERYONE TAKE... but things I would do..

#1. Gotta lock up Mauer... It is gonna cost a ton, there is always injury risk and what, really more does he have to prove..

#2. I think you send Go-Go down and let him play everyday. We know he will be the first call up if we have an injury, this way we don't have the "who should play the outfield" dilemma.

#3. I think you look right now into extending Span and Cuddy... I know I will get some heat for the Cuddy idea, but he is what he is... clubhouse leader, solid right handed bat, good defensive player(no matter what the rest of you think, he is) and I think he is one of those guys who will sign at a bit of a discount to stay here. He is position flexible as well... OF, 1B, DH, I still think he could play 3B in a tight spot

#4. Sign Cabrera... I like the consistancy at shortstop... he isn't a great glove or great bat, but he is solid and I think he likes playing here

#5. Do something roster wise so Punto is NOT an everyday player at one position... I like Nick Punto, but he isn't a everyday 2nd baseman, SS or 3rd baseman. He is a great 4 times a week start at various positions to give guys days off as well as a great late inning runner and defensive replacement.

I'm on board with the coaching staff....
