    Meh, I think all the internet stuff is a tad bit over the top, but that is how the world works these days, give it like a week and nobody will remember his name. The world/internet will move onto something more important to get upset about (most times like this, justifying). Anyone remember those racist Oklahoma SAE kids? Yeah? Anyone remember their names?

    Can we please get back to the main question in this whole "issue"? How many inches did illegally killing a Lion add to the dentists penis?

    Seems like a really great deal for the Phillies and a good deal for the Rangers. Phillies had no use for him as they are a complete dumpster fire and need all the help they can get, by my count they got 3 really good prospects and Harrison who slots into the rotation immediately. The Rangers make a great move for 2016 on, Yu+Hamels makes a pretty freaking good 1-2 combo.

    Brock, you really should have locked the thread after the first post in this thread. Turning into an all time classic Mauer bitchfest now. I thought the Catcher bit was the most asinine piece of Mauer criticism, but apparently now people want Joe Mauer to give money back to a multi billionaire owner, that he(Mauer) is 100% fairly and legally entitled to.

    Why? It's not our job to find the successor. If you give me 1% of the Pohlads cash I will be happy to do a full search.

    Thanks for the worthwhile contribution to the thread!

    Yup!

    This gets brought up every year by the Ryan 100% no matter what apologists. Trades can and often do happen before the zero hour, hell, look at how many have happened so far! Every year it's this whole "well, we still have X number of years to the deadline..TR must still have something up his sleeve" and nothing ever happens of note. How many trades have the twins been involved in this far? Zero. Last time I checked, the games in mid to late July count just as much as the ones in August and September...

    Plouffe also can't play SS

    If they make the playoffs in 2016, I don't see how that is his last year? The perfect transition time would have been last year, new GM, new coach, new pitching coach etc. Now you are sort of talking about a weird limbo.

    I think a more accurate and relevant look at a teams "future" is looking at their players that are 25 or younger. With Rosario/Sano/Buxton all graduating the sytem, the "farm" is prob in the 8-12 range overall. However when you look at the 25 and under on the team overall (MLB and minor leagues) the Twins are probably in the top 3 or 4 with the Cubs and Astros overall.
  12. DaveW
    True, but I think the 120 days prior to the trade deadline when he has done ZERO to fix the SS, Catcher and RP issues is more telling of a number.

    What I disagree with is the people who are in the "well the Twins are better then we thought they were, so Ryan gets a pass and is doing a good job this year" crowd. The reason why expectations were so low is because the Twins were arguably the worst team (or at least worst 3) in the league over the last 4 years. A team with such a deep farm, decent financial shape (100+ mil payroll potential), etc should not be viewed as a success when they get to .500 ball in year 5. If the Twins continue this trend, I think he has to go, if he makes the playoffs or they win 85-86 games and just miss, then I think he gets one more year. The reality is though, he has no pressure when it comes to his job, so in reality he can just sit back, do nothing major and continue to coast. If there was some pressure and expectations put on him at some point, at lesat he would have the motivation to actually try to make this team better.

    You must have missed this part: I think he should be out the door with them at the end of the season.

    Someone must be posting Shiancoe photos again.

    Pictured: (2012-2014) years later when Terry Ryan is left with all of those prospects he didn't trade years earlier.

    LOL that is the perfect ending for this game.

    Doesn't take much looking with this current team/org.
  22. DaveW
