    Yup, Pretty much first round picks before the Twins picked on your list. Hello

    Other than pitching to AAA batters, if Milone is not doing anything different than he did in the majors the results will be the same as before.

    Outside of Boston, nobody has done well so far with the draft of 2011. One out of three of the top 20 have developed, very few others after that.

    I want a GM who can do similar things to turning RA Dickey into D'Anaud and Symdergaard. I want a GM who knows when to move a player on while there is still value. I want a GM who is lucky. People from successful organizations moving on Friedman ran the Rays and did a good job. The Dodgers not so much. Luhnow's team had a good year last year, this year so far, not so much. Dombrowski has reinvented multiple team. LaRussa was considered a great baseball mind Dombrowski has been good wherever Hiring away from another organization is not foolproof.

    Arroyo was owed a good chunk of money while injured. The Dbacks got an OK bench type player back but essentially it was her is Toussant and to get him for little of nothing you have to take on Bronson Arroyos remaining contract, about 10 million. Think like trading Nolasco and Stewart for a reserve player. The Braves have made trades to the competitive balance picks and really paid by taking on the contract for Olivera to get Miami's competitive balance pick from the Dodgers.

    The anti-gestalt would be this team. Why is probably the unanswered question.

    The only indictment of the Twins handling of Meyer is that he was not given a chance to fail sooner. If he had the chance to fail in 2014 and did, then there are the rushed him to soon comments. Easy criticism as there is no way to defend a move, no real way to say it was wrong as a move other than opinion.

    As unfair as a calling everyone is thinking the same way

    This should clear up why all around this is a bad ideas for investing, and being invested in http://www.thestreet.com/story/12076758/1/salmon-bad-investment-of-the-day-fantex-edition.html

    Seattle DFA'd him, the Twins did the same. After 4 years of people complaining od Drew Butera could you explain why people are upset the Twins let someone go who would make a team miss Drew Butera

    The oft repeated mantra is Gardenhire did not like young players. Throughout his tenure when the team was winning it was with young players. Players were traded before they became free agents when they could get a return. A veteran MI a few times was crucial addition. Otherwise the veteran added were usually jettisoned later. When the team quit winning, the veterans stunk, err stuck around.

    The last few years they have been playing as the Philadelphia 76ers

    Leg injuries are as likely to happen on the basepaths as they are in the field. The Twins batters have found a way to minimize their chances of injury,

    Could have sworn that the dome dogs were more than left over.

    Maybe you need to get a twitter feed of all things Max for your fix.

    Tony Batista hit 26 HR with an OPS of .663 one year.

    The only ball thrown then was the HPB he has recorded at Bref

    In the last year of their contracts Santana and Hughes become tradeable assets if the team is not contending. Depending on the situations and what is available, a team "going for ir" might consider taking on a longer contract as they might not go bust as badly as Oakland did.

    One could contend that Ogando and Chamberlain were not great in either role. The held the tools to keep getting chances. Feliz was injured the year he was a starter and never was the same pitcher afterwards.

    You would have no bench? The reports are that the A's are going to use Valencia as a full time 3b. Last year he had far more AB against right handers than left, hardly used as a platoon.
  21. old nurse
    5 starters, 7 relievers, 1 backup catcher, 8 position players plus a dh. You can't afford to keep a right hand bat to play only one position and play against left handers. They have to be able to play more than one position. That is why you can't afford to keep the Valencia's around.

    Plouffe's value is at the trade deadline, but only as a short term contract. There would also need to be a contender with a 3B out or having a real bad season. That would require someone having bad luck for the Twins to have good luck. It would also require Plouffe having a good year. The same scenario would repeat next year.

    Molitor did learn something from Gardenhire

    What there are no metrics for. The ability to learn. What happens when you mature, or when you will mature. They can spot the regression candidates, but not the actual regression. They really can't measure what they progression will be.
