    I do not think that anyone thought that Celestino would be a superstar.

    The pay structure in baseball does not appear to inhibit people from playing the sport. I should have included the post you responded to because his rational was Kyler Murray and football. Does the pay structure of MiLB inhibit diversity? I don't know. I really can't find statistics of the makeup of minor league ball. Does the shorter path to money in sports by playing football or basketball have an impact? I can't even speculate on that one. The socioeconomic status of the families does have an effect on what sports kids play and develop an interest in. MLB does do work in that area. At what point does a kid go from playing a sport for the love of it and it becomes about the money they make?

    To compete with the pay structure of pro football the MILB costs would be enormous. Peasant wages, minimal wages, even average for American household income wages does not compete with 35 million.

    The issue of front office makeups and player populations are two different issues. The barriers are far different. Front offices are about who is given opportunity. Player percentages is about the talent flowing into baseball. That is a completely different set of circumstances.
  7. old nurse
    Half of the white population is also female, hence your math is off.

    The quality of the pitching staffs of KC, Detroit and Chicago in a smaller sample size will make the biggest difference in The Who is number 2 debate.

    With fewer games maybe Buxton can actually play a whole season.

    La Valle E Neal III scooped Walters on that a couple months ago

    Jake Reed's window of opportunity may be coming to an end. Windows of opportunity is an interesting concept, yet it is the door slamming shut rather than the shades being drawn. The phrase curtains for you refers to a stage. It would be likely he gets a few AAA curtain calls but due to age and no MLB time it may only be one

    Jake Reed is the new Anthony Slama

    In 1961 pretty much all teams were segregated. Bernie Tebbets, Florida and city laws were the issues and lack of facilatation of forcing a change. It was teams like the Yankees and Cardinals threatening to move out that got the laws changed. The Twins were not at the forefront of anything under the Griffiths. I don't know if it was racism, or cheapest for the slowness to respond to the societal changes. Not many of us would be cogniscent of such things at that time. to give a definitive answer. That leaves people to choose what to believe on what they want to believe. https://www.startribune.com/yes-tear-down-that-calvin-griffith-statue-and-also-listen-to-rod-carew/571381692/ As a society we need to be a little more careful in what is torn to shreds. Griffith was far from perfect, but is he even remotely close toDavid Duke?

    The over under number on players testing positive must be high. It would appear that the roster is the 40 man plus 20 players that could be used. After shuffling through 50 players last year the FO might have thought with the positive testing numbers growing, all of the 60 man will be needed

    I did not debate his worth. Span had offers. Like every other aging player his skills have eroded. His worth is set by the teams. He had become the one year player. Some players will play on, some won't
  16. old nurse
    Span did not want to play for league minimum. It is what it is. The lack of a major league job was his choice.

    From 100% of salary to 100% of prorated salary? It is all about the money for the players. Same for the owners.

    "teams aren't profitable". Wow, now that is one claim that needs proof.
  19. old nurse
    For the college senior they might be able to get 20k rather than 10k , It hurts the couple hundred juniors drafted between rounds 6 and 20

    They started looking years ago and following players.

    Don't you just love when you question a comment in a thread and you question appears just below an answer

    Dislike of music by calling it your kind of music may have nothing to do with ethnicity. One person's music is another's torture.

    Pointing out the number of players that are not millionaires yet now a member of the union and have played only minimally is no less dishonest than pointing out the league minimum for rookies. when somewhere near 15 of the players appearing for the Twins last year had far less than a year of service time for their career or the year. It is also dishonest to call them millionaires when their career earnings are such that short of living on nothing their net after taxes is not even close to that
