    I’d be fine with a two game series. I think it’s a reasonable compromise.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Does the order really matter if Colina was going to be waived anyway?
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    A good start.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    That makes me think the rush was: 1. This front office wasn't interested in Colina for the next few months 2. They were trying to be cute (again) First point, okay, Second point, STOP ALREADY.

    So much depth and the real question is what part of it is good. The thing is that the team lost 89 games. They were distinctly very bad at playing baseball. So how much do we care about their current 40-man roster? I honestly do not know. The 40-man shuffle has yet to begin and I'm so interested to see where all of this goes.

    It’s interesting to see the personal narratives fly in this thread, like so many others of this kind over the years. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be critical of the front office - they earned it after this season - but the certainty stated in this thread over an injured minor leaguer just makes me roll my eyes. And I know some of the same characters were saying the same things about Joe Benson, Oswaldo Arcia, and Nick Burdi. Some temperance is needed here. I may not like the decision but I have a narrow view of the situation. We should all acknowledge some ignorance.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I don’t really have a huge problem with the postseason being different than the regular season. If anything, if mlb sold it properly, it’d be a selling point for the sport.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Frankly, I don’t really get the fuss anymore. I’m fine with three games but one is more fun and immediate. Three would be more balanced. Given the massive problems with this sport, a one game playoff probably doesn’t make the top 20 for me.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    I think how Ober gets there is probably more sustainable but I'm not writing off Dobnak until we see him healthy again. The last 14 or so months have just been a mess for him.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Possibly. The timing of this makes me pause.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    In today’s Game of Tanking, I don’t believe waiver wire claims indicate value. The Rangers, in a word, suck. They’re going to suck for awhile. A 40-man roster spot is virtually nothing to them at this point, especially when they almost surely plan to waive Colina later and try to pull the same crap the Twins pulled. Why not just grab anybody who interests you even a little? There’s nothing to lose, really.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    The Red Sox certainly drew the short straw there.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Was I watching a different team? In 2019, the Twins had Rogers as closer for most of the season and he was fantastic. In 2020, there was more of a time-share but Rogers/Romo/May were also very good. Closer hasn't been a problem until this season and literally everything was a problem this season.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    I’m not even saying they need to drop Cave right now, I simply don’t want him here next season or for the Twins to pay him another dime. However they get there, I’m not really sure I care.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Well, if Colina doesn’t pitch in 2022, that’s a reason. Or if the front office dumps almost everyone and remakes the roster, that’s another. I don’t like or understand the move from where I’m sitting but remember two words before implying the front office is stupid, incompetent, or somehow deficient: Nick Burdi.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Harsh but funny.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I’ve worried about this since The Athletic launched. They pay so much talent and offer so much for very little money, frankly. We’re exploring memberships here at TD and The Athletic’s monthly price makes me cringe because it’s so low. I really hope they figure it out because they’re pretty much the best thing going in sports, imo.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Fair ‘nuff.

    Hosken, you need to read what chpettit is actually writing, especially if you're talking down to other users as you were in your middle paragraph. This is what he said, bolded emphasis mine: He also said this: It's rather apparent he (and I) are speaking of performance level, not games started.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    The 60 day IL goes away when the off-season begins and doesn’t come back until spring training.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Absolutely not. I only used that number as an example of how Celestino’s potential value has little correlation to whether he starts 130 games or 40 games.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    There you go. If we’re going to “free market” this debate, let’s actually free market it. And then watch as salaries skyrocket as teams have to actually COMPETE for services. Which absolutely decimates any acceptance or argument that their current pay structure is fair or adequate.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I really don't understand this but I'll reserve judgment until a larger plan begins to emerge after multiple moves. If this is the front office trying to be too cute by half on "sneaking" people through waivers or the Rule V... *groans* Just stop already.

    It's an organizational philosophy under Neander, though. Is any single deal "wrong"? No, the Rays keep winning. But they traded Archer. They traded Snell. They traded Odorizzi. All good, capable players but the moment they start earning any money, Tampa shows them the door. The Rays are winning but they're profiting off MLB and their own fans in the process. Fun fact: the Rays make more per year from local television than the Twins do. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-update-the-estimated-local-tv-revenue-for-mlb-teams/ Second fun fact: In 2018 the Rays, like all other MLB teams, received a $50m check from the sale of BAMTech. Their payroll that season was $85m. Third fun fact: MLB's national television revenue is about $2b a year. That's $66.67m per team. The Rays payroll? $70.8m. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2020/06/14/with-tbs-renewal-mlb-could-see-2b-annually-from-national-tv-contracts/?sh=52e328c64411 Fourth fun fact: we haven't even talked about competitive balance sharing yet!

    In a recent podcast, Gleemen mentioned that the Twins wanted some diversity of voices in their hitting coaches. It sounds as if both were "personnel guys", as in they were good at relating to players and coaching their emotional state but neither really specialized in the technical side of hitting. He made it sound as though the Twins, for pretty obvious reasons, want one "personnel" and one "technical" guy in those roles.
