Management Caught Looking....elsewhere...the Continued Over Look of Miguel Sano
Otaknam commented on Sherry Cerny's blog entry in MNSotaSportsGal Twins Takes
Ludicrous article! Makes me wonder if the writer ever watches the team. When Sano first came up to the big leagues he looked like a real ML hitter, line drives to the opposite field, solid batter average, still lots of strikeouts but a .269 average. Now he tries to pull every pitch and seems to not recognize pitches, flails away. Never seems to make adjustments. The coaches are working with him daily but he doesn’t ever improve. -
Just to clarify management cannot cut player salaries, only payroll. Players under contract will be paid, possibly on a pro rata basis like they did this year if COVID persists to shorten the season. If the Twins could get Bauer on the 3 year 9-10 million they should do that. But I doubt Bauer would sign that since he sees himself as an ace despite the off field baggage. He’s a very good number two but not in Verlander’s class as a one.

Article: Offseason Primer: Building a Badass Bullpen
Otaknam replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Some of you need to chill out! The biggest pitching issue for the Twins is lack of number one and two starters. Look at the Indians, Red Sox, Astros, and Yankees for comparison. Berrios is a number four on those teams. Their inability to develop top starters is the biggest problem. Teams with excellent starters don’t need relievers to start a game and pitch an inning or two. That’s a gimmick that says our starters aren’t good enough, IMO. -
Twins Developments Worth Watching
Otaknam commented on Ted Schwerzler 's blog entry in Off The Baggy
Interesting take. Molitor could be criticized for several things: using washed up veterans like Belisle, seldom trying to steal a base or hit and run, etc. But please explain how you ascertained the lack of communication and chemistry between Molitor and the players. It seems like you’d have to be around the team on a day to day basis to draw that conclusion. Are you LaVelle E. Neil using an alias?
