    If they were so fine in an evolving game why are they available?

    People should not be saying that the Pohlads are adverse to losing money for the reason you state. They really should be saying that the Pohlads are adverse to a negative cash flow. That is really what most people are saying when they say Pohlads do not want to lose money.

    From SHipley Guys that are able to extend and release up front tend to have the ability to throw the ball over the plate, where they want throw it," he said. "But there's a lot of other data that goes into the process."

    Lamet might be the type of pitcher the FO would look for. Control would appear to be the issue. If the management believes they can fix it as well as his pitching with men on base he could become the effective starter.

    It is not like they ever made the playoffs with them. Their time wasted is because they generally had poor post seasons or were injured and could not participate

    A quote from Perkins was something like a lot of players like defined roles so they can get mentally prepared. Just because someone has a defined role at a lower pecking order than closer does not mean that developing them further is not going on, or being attempted. See Dusenitz for the developed, Boshers for the attempted.

    The 25 for 5 is a start, it is the other 125 for 5 that is the killer

    The big boys of relief were getting 15 million or more a year. Davis will get near hat

    No mention of a retractable dome as monsoon season begins in September and doesn't let up until the middle of June.

    84 games vs 76 games now with teams regionally close. Losing 1 short flight between cities on a road trip and 1 shorter flight with a division rival along with 3 nights of hotel costs is not going to make up for the loss of revenue from full season ticket packages, suite revenue and loss from 6 games from broadcast rights fees

    Kapreillian and Maeo are minor league players, Fowler being on the 60 day dl is a major league player. Gio Gonzales netted quite a bit

    A 3 year deal is not unreasonable. Dozier's value comes from power, not speed. Power goes later than speed. An added year might be dead money, might not. Cano is going strong at 34. Dozier doesn't have an injury history that pushes the age curve down. The jinx of the Twins extending a contract is another matter, as it seems like once they sign an extension the player gets a hard object to the head, arm goes haywire.....

    Hiring Chip Hale was considered a bold move. Hiring Lovello was a necessary move. Considering that most of the preseason predictors, the so called media experts. had The Twins around 70 wins, a team that won 85 games did something right. There were not many changes made. Somebody made spmoe decisions that worked. Hiring a new manager would be a bold move. Likely followed by a necessary one.

    So what. What has age got to do with anything? Is Molitor going to drop dead because of age before the contract is over? Senile dementia going to set in? The ability to relate and communicate with people is not age defined, it is personality defined.
  15. old nurse
    If you have the attention and respect of the players why would you need to act out to get results? Labile leadership is usually not a good thing.
  16. old nurse
    At 1-2 million a year the contract is a thank you for this year. Molitor's seat is still hot next year.
  17. old nurse
    Molitor grossed 40 million as a player. Whatever taxes, agents, early partying, child support and ex wives took would be anyone's guess. Like many others, being around baseball has been his life. Beeing a competitor, he stayed in the game.

    Houston had a 4 year head start at being mediocre, 2 year head start at being really bad. 2 years ago the playofs, last year they missed the playoffs. So, in 2019 the Twins darn well be really good according to the Houston model.
  19. old nurse
    History would also say that over three years Molitor's teams have a net gain of 15 games over the previous manager's last season. Of course that would also imply that a team's record is due to only the actions of the manager.

    Arizona knew him well enough to fire him because the team was losing. Kirk Gibson (an old for a manager type) takes over and Arizona does a worst to first.

    In each of those other plate appearance a decision had to be made on how to go about doing business. If those complaining about the bunting wish to show the magnitude of the problem with some data it would be helpful . In terms of the directions given to a batter, there were over 6000 decisions that Molitor made
  22. old nurse
    White Sox 35, Rangers 27, Twins 26. That is not including all of the failed attempts by the Rangers and WHite Sox. League average was 18. Over 6261 PA, sacrifice bunts are minimal

    Pick your stat. Santana has pitched 64 games the last two years, Gray 49. A pitcher that can't pitch isn't very conducive e to a team's success. What happened in the other 14 games? FIP and xfip are strikeout driven numbers. Sanatana has a better hitting team, a better fielding team behind him than Gray did with the A's. Pitching is not strike out every batter. That is the limitation of fip and xfip.
  24. old nurse
    bref says Santana has thrown 211.1 innings to an ERA+ of 135 There is a little extra value in that Erv also pitches about 4/10 of an inning more per game. No knock against Gray, I don't think the Twins had the quality pieces in the minors to compete with the Yankees offer.
  25. old nurse
    Doolittle, too. They were neither winning nor losing because of Gray.
