Is Neil Allen the right man for the job?

[ashbury]

Fair enough. Someone else mentioned him as a positive earlier too.

I was trying to be nice

If Molitor's job is safe, then the new GM should gut every coach and replace them with his guys. New Ideas are needed. Too many of the young players are failing with the exception of a few.

 

This was suppose to be last year's folly, not this year's, and I feel it will linger into next year if changes are not made up and down in this org. IMO. That being said, it might not change a thing.

I have a hard blaming someone for the hand they were dealt. 

 

To be fair... I'll need to break it down

 

If you consider both 2015 and 2016... Twins pitchers have performed:

 

Above My Expectation:

 

Kintzler

Abad

Rogers

 

At My Expectation:

 

Santana

Pressly

Tonkin

Duffey (When you combine last year with this year)

 

Below My Expectation:

 

Everybody Else

 

 

When I look at it like this... I'd have to say that Allen got dealt a crappy hand and played it crappy. 

 

I'm leaning toward change for changes sake

I like your idea, so I'll copy it and insert my own opinions:

 

(just for 2016)

 

Above My Expectations

Santana

Kintzler

Rogers

Abad

 

At My Expectation

Nolasco

Pressly

Tonkin

 

Below My Expectations

Fien

Duffey

Gibson

Milone

Hughes

Santiago (SSS)

May

Jepsen

Boshers

Berrios

 

As you can clearly see, a majority of the pitchers have underperformed this season. That's basically 6 pitchers (minus Nolasco) who have been serviceable. That's really bad.
