    That's not fair to gardy. Gardy was a great manager during his time here. It is clear that Gardy wasn't the main issue with the Twins, it was FO. Hiring a worse manager (Molitor) only compounds the problem IMO

    Fwiw: Danny Santana has -2.1 WAR over his last 160 games. That's not value, that's the opposite of value.
  3. DaveW
    Possible? YesProbable? With this FO/manager? I don't think so.

    Santana literally has been one of the worst 5 players in baseball over the past couple years. He is a bad baseball player who absolutely should not be on a rebuilding team. He should be AAA depth at this stage of his career. His 2014 was fueled by a .405 BABIP that's not going to happen again, it's time to move on from D San. I wish him the best, and im sure he will bounce around the league for a bit, but there is zero reason why this club should have him on the roster. Grossman had a high ObP, but it was driven largely by a .364 BABIP. I think he's a solid player, but definitely not someone you want as a DH.

    This reeks of a Paul Molitor decision.

    They already have 4 OF who can play CF (or any other position) Escobar can be the the super utility guy. Sano, Polanco and Dozier need to be playing 150 games this year anyways. Ditto with a Kepler, Buxton and Rosario. Santana is pointless at this stage. Esp with a short bench. They would be much much much better served having Park on the roster instead. 13 pitchers to start the season once again is nonsense. It's not like you have to worry about guys getting fatigued etc and there seem to be a bunch of random Off days early in the season anyways. Grossman should be a 4th OF, not a DH. His numbers won't justify it (unless he keeps up a .364 BABIP) what else did Park need to do to earn a spot??

    It's almost like they are begging fans not to care and are trying to lose another 100+ Park going to the minors is the most baffling, wtf? Danny Santana has no real purpose being on the roster and starting the season with 13 pitchers is unheard of. Does this team have any idea, plan or clue on what they are doing?

    Re: molitor, it still blows my mind that the new GM and FO were FORCED to retain a manager who is coming off a 103 loss season and has done zero as a major league manager to make us think he is even average or good.
  9. DaveW
    Yeah Danny Santana on the 25 man roster is absolute madness.
  10. DaveW
    I'd rather not have the choice be between Wimmers or Tonkin. Which indicates to me a massive failure by the FO
  11. DaveW
    The coyotes are one of the dumbest teams in all of sports. Just because it doesn't work in Phoenix doesn't mean anything in re: Vegas.
  12. DaveW
    5.02 ERA 1.63 hr/9 1.45 whip 10 h/9 Are bigger signs of failure imo.
  13. DaveW
    Tonkin much like slowey before him is the quintessential AAAA pitcher. It's time for the Twins to move on.
  14. DaveW
    Visiting teams will always bring in a large attendance as well, like I definitely will go every year for a wild game. Also the "well if they suck attendance could drop" is true about 95% of pro teams period. See: Minnesota Twins and their fancy new stadium and even the Vikes failing to sell out their last game.
  15. DaveW
    Both professional teams will remain "on" the board. Also it's hard to point shave in the NFL and almost impossible in the NHL. NBA is where **** is gonna get dicey IMO
  16. DaveW
    New FO Same stupid mind boggling decisions. I fear this will never chane until the Pohlads sell.
  17. DaveW
    Ah ok got it. I mean typically though these deals involve multiple prospects to sort of even out the chances of at least one or two panning out. Anyways, hopefully Dozier can mash and we can get a haul eventually!
  18. DaveW
    This playoff format sucks. The Blackhawks are the best team in the conf and the wild are the 2nd best. It's all sorts of stupid that they would end up playing in the 2nd round. Bettman is a freaking clown and needs to stop screwing up the game. Go back to the 1-8 seeding and be done with it.
  19. DaveW
    I said legalized sports gambling, which has not been on the decline (illegal or legal) In the short term I think you will see a decent bump in legal sports betting in Vegas bc of the two new teams.
  20. DaveW
    That's really not that much money or timeneeded, plenty of people from LA already goto Vegas once a month anyways. And $300-$500 for a fun weekend is something a majority of their fans can afford. It's only 8 games a season anyways.

    The arena is on the strip. They will be able to fill it every night. For petes sake they manage to sell out Britney Spears shows 6 nights a week, they can sell tickets to guys in vegas to watch hockey.

    .920 ops 52 HR 6.8 WAR

    Rumor has it Bannon hired him on the spot after digging through the TMZ archives http://m.tmz.com/#article/2012/11/07/delmon-young-guilty-aggravated-harassment-anti-semitic-slur-museum-of-tolerance/

    The odds of getting a good pitcher back is one in six? For a 5+ WAR 2nd baseman with two years left on a small contract? Not sure I agree with your police work there norm....
