The son of a brilliant but combative Hall of Fame baseball executive, Lee MacPhail inherited his father’s intelligence but n...3315Thu, 22 Jan 2015 12:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-best-25-gms-in-history-18-joe-l-brown-r3317/Today, hundreds of bright young men (and a few women) without any playing experience descend on baseball’s winter meetings looking for a job, many hoping to eventually become a big league general manager. Since Moneyball and the application of analytics, a front office position has become a highly...3317Thu, 22 Jan 2015 10:02:54 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-should-be-in-line-for-fifth-starter-spot-r3316/Personally, I'm not a fan of the whole "spring training position battle" concept. Deciding who will fill any roster spot -- particularly a rotation spot -- is weighty, and should not be dictated by performance in a couple of dozen (or fewer) exhibition games, where the competition ranges from esta...3316Wed, 21 Jan 2015 05:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-best-25-gms-in-history-20-cedric-tallis-r3313/That he was no longer in Kansas City when they broke through was unfortunate for Tallis, but for all practical purposes those great teams were his creation.

To Campbell, winning should be enough. And when the environment shifted, he remained a throwback. He never reconciled himself to the players union or free agency.
