  1. A player who didn’t recover from shoulder surgery isn’t the answer, either.
  2. Only if his shoulder is healed. His throw in seriously declined last year
  3. Yup, moving over to 2b will cure all of Brooks Lee’s issues. The range he is said to lack will be cured
  4. The no new names by early December is a problem worth complaining about?
  5. That has nothing to do with fine motor control.
  6. The reserve clause made it so a team could stay together.. The player had 2 choices. Play for the team that owned their rights or retire. Play for what they pay you, or retire. Battey retired after the 67 season, Zoilo was picked by the padres from the Dodgers in the expansion draft Rollins was selected by the Seattle Pilots in the expansion draft
  7. Easier versus harder was not the issue. Fine motor control is.
  8. According to Forbes data from 24, the twins revenue per fan is$50 a spike in attendance would have to be quite large to afford a 20m player
  9. The good teams in the 60s and 70s had the reserve clause. Gagne, Gladden, Puckett and Hrbek were the only continuity in the championship teams
  10. There are very few tall people with fine motor control. They usually play basketball.
  11. The odds increase to about 25% with one commonality that Rodriguez, Gonzales , Jenkins and Culpepper have.
  12. Maybe the problem was, and another coach. Later with the same fate, the player’s ears
  13. If Boston was sold on Casas there wouldn’t be as many different sources saying they are willing to trade him yes Lowe returned to Texas level in Boston. He was a 3 WAR player there. 13.5 is cheap for that. He was traded for a relief pitcher that was not a closer. There is something wrong with this picture. People here have advocated signing him. If Boston does sign players and is over the threshold leverage goes to a buying team in trades. . Boston should love to trade Hicks. To not pay the 24m over 2 years might cost 2 of their top 30 prospects for the return of organizational filler
  14. 35 doubles, 5 HR, 325 OBP and above average defense will put you in the top 50-75 position players
  15. If Boston thought Lowe could be the guy he was in Texas they would have tendered him. The only was I would sign him is to a minimal contract with incentives. Something was right with him with that big of drop off
  16. The article appears to be a mislabeled Just For Fun article. Not every comment on Twins Daily is going to be serious, Good luck in figuring out which is which.
  17. I now think that Matbe Goldschmidt would be a good idea, Sonny Gray rebounded after a horrific stay in NY, as did Bader, as did Pavano. Some people just do not adapt to New York. Maybe Goldschmidt , a Texan, is one of those people. A rebound year
  18. None of the Pohlads are greedy crowd will ever admit you are correct. Bloated front office doesn’t help the bottom line. https://www.mlb.com/twins/team/front-office Look under group sales and think of attendance. Does that department even pay for itself? Manager game day experience. Paraphrase Al Davis. Just win baby. Lots of check collecting going on. It will be interesting to see if the investors look into the productivity of a lot of these people. The massive scouting executive do not appear to be effective by the number of people listed
  19. Healthy for a season would be a dramatic change. Working on his hitting skills in the offseason with a coach might be a good idea, i think it is possible neither will happen.
  20. They may have attempted to sign Carabello last year. 100k is less than 150K
  21. Garrett Spain. In the second round of the MiLB draft. I guess they figure on losing Outman when they DFA him. Yup, a poor hitting LH outfielder that has played all 3 spots.
  22. You asked why they would trade Duran and Jax. I told you empty seats. If you don’t get the connection,I don’t really care
