    With far more teams retrenching payroll than adding it is not reasonable to think there were good offers for Twins players. The player the Athletic reported Boston offered at the deadline was the prospect Garcia. There is no wat to think that anyone was offering much of value for any of the players

    The people here click on stories regardless of title.

    The get rid of Larnach by trade because he is so bad makes the assumption that someone else would want him, and the tea would get something of value. The Outman is so bad comments by the bloggers here are followed by the team can’t just cut him because they would risk losing him for nothing. Sooner or later the team will lose him for nothing anyways. Well, maybe they could get a broken down reliever who breaks yet again.

    Given that the pitching staff has basically question marks after Ryan and SWR, the number of starters needed may well reach 9. Morris would be around number 7 with Festa and Rojas. He needs to stay as a starter

    Levine was let go in October 2024. I wouldn’t say he is inexperienced at his job, but I also wouldn’t say he has been second in command for 2 years . lowe was making 10 million last year. Nobody traded for him at the deadline. Washington released him rather than keep playing him. Despite an OPS plus of 121 Boston non tendered him rather than risk picking up such a great player with a probable raise from 10 million. The likelihood that in the middle of December Lowe signing the same contact as Bell did was probably nil. Everybody misread the market but Bell’s agent. Lowe’s time in Washington was the likely red flag. It is not horrible roster construction to not have signed Lowe

    What you suggest in jest is not tearing it down to the studs it is

    The status of the bullpen and people’s reactions lately brought up a memory of a band and their one hit.

    What would make me nervous is the Lance Lynn effect. Good results from pitching, outperforming some of the geek numbers. Wants a big contract, nobody thus far wants to give him one, Once it is late in the preseason he may not have recovered from the I am worth more than my contract syndrome

    What is the point of grading something you don’t know how it is going to turn out? All subjectivity

    The restaurant can’t buy Wagyu when the customers won’t pay for it. The ample evidence is the crowds that did not come out to see Correa, nor Gray and Lopez. Instead you get to see what the chef makes with what they have You can’t give it a grade until you see what they can make of it. .

    When. They bought Correa, they thought they were buying Wagyu, they got ground chuck. When they bought Bader last year he was coming off. 2 seasons of being expired ground beef. He played like wagyu. Sorry that your bias clouds you.
  13. old nurse
    But the capabilities of players are not completely a foregone conclusion. Carlos Correa had contributed 34 BWAR to Houston in 750 games played, 10.4 WAR in his 450 games in Minnesota. The acquisitions of. Ryan and Lopez is the other direction. How can you grade when nothing really is certain. If what they bought performs better than expected, it should be a good grade. If you are grading because they did not invest in the team, you have to show they could get a return on that investment. You can’t show that is a possible outcome for the Twins.

    The Hamburger at Meisters is far better than a hamburger at a fast food restaurant. Same ingredients.

    Carlos Mendoza and Minnie Mendoza batted .182 each for their major league career. Mario Mendoza batted .220 for his career and was the inspiration for the term Mendoza Line. So are people ignoring history or has hitting gotten so poor for average that they do not want to rightfully embarrass players?
  17. old nurse
    This is like giving a restaurant review off the list of ingredients to be used.

    When the Dodgers, Yankees RedSox and Jays can increase their payrolls by 100 million and the Mets and Phillies by 200 million, that skews the average upwards in a trend a lower revenue team can’t match. You can use terms like investment, but then you should explain where the 100 million in revenue will come from for a return on investment.

    Feed the negatives a bone to chew on. Cody is becoming a master at it. So many things have to go right that the odds wouldn’t change for making the playoffs. Winning in the playoffs is now much harder

    Anecdotal events for basing judgements are limited by the tendency to forget what doesn’t fit the thesis. The good old days days always are better because you forget. The bad

    It is a caretaker article. They used to. Say at the bottom to read more become a caretaker. Kind of pointless to have only part of a caretaker article when the staff here routinely complain of cheap Twins
  22. old nurse
    Yup, said that at one point, still doesn’t change that they have analytics to give them a picture of what the player is about.
  23. old nurse
    The information about what a professional player does on the professional level is all available on Stacast. Do you think they need 5 scouts to go through the information daily when there is a analytics department that can spit the names out of the files for any type of player there is? There is still the amateur scouting departments.
  24. old nurse
    They cut the guy scouting department down by 4 scouts. With all of the analytics data available through statcast there should be no loss of information. How is that cutting the scouting department to the bone?
  25. old nurse
    Not with most of this crowd
