#1 Suggestion for 2027

Hire Jim Click to replace Jeremy Zoll.

Click has a long record of success with good teams, including 15 years with the Rays where he spent a couple of years as Vice President of Baseball Operations, before he became General Manager of the Astros and won the World Series. He is now Vice President for Baseball Strategy with the Jays.

Zoll, in contrast, spent four years as an advance scouting coordinator with the Angels before being assistant director of player development for one year with the Dodgers, after which he worked his way up the ladder with the Twins.

In terms of experience, responsibility, and success, Click has it all over Zoll. 

Sure, it's nice that the Pohlads like having long-term relationships with their executives and I'm willing to believe that Jeremy Zoll is a copacetic person to work with, but it's time to "go big" and get someone big to make a big upgrade to the quality of the organization.

Oof. That really is a trainwreck of an executive. IDK if he can accurately judge a player. I mean in that in all seriousness because in his time there, were there really any start developed players outside of Mike Trout, whom he didn't even scout? 

Some of these posts are really bringing the incompetence of the Twins organization to light. This is definitely one of those situations

It's likely that the only player development decision that needed to be made about Mike Trout was "let's stay out of his way."

Well...theres that and the one where they chose not to build a team around the guy and expected him to carry them all the way to a World Series. The dude is going to go down as one of the greatest to never win a World Series because he chose club loyalty over Ring chasing, which I can completely respect. But could you imagine if he had an organization that build around him.

You mean like in 2015, when Trout had 9.3 fWAR and their second best hitter was Kole Calhoun and their best pitcher was Garrett Richards?
