The average age of MLB players is somewhere over 28 years old. As the excuse for failure is below average age for level there should be a few breakout stars on the parent club. Of course if Scherzer Verlander and Hill retired thr average age of the MLB players would drop at least by one year

A lot of angst over what is a work in progress. The assumption that the current 40 man is what will be is a stretch. The bargain bin really has not been made available for shopping.

You are either criticizing the blogger or believe clickbait. I am not sure which

Missing from the article is how long has this been around, how do they collect the data and what was the cost. Is it a system that will tell you that the hitter is just hoping the bat meets the ball?

The hitting got better under Popkins as the year went on?

Did the ex hitting coaches want the data? More information to players who do not listen to the information given is a pointless proposition Lewis wouldn’t change. Easier to change the coach than the players. Just ask Rocco.

Better knowledge of biomechanics and outcomes will tell you why to not swing at those pitches with that swing.

Joe Mauer had two non consecutive years of playing 1B more than 100 games in a season. If that is a regular first 1B to you then Sano counts as a regular 1B

Morneau was the last one to regularly play a full season at 1B

The question asked was if there was any world where Sano could be playing first base for the Twins. Classic scenario from old time TV show. Yes there is a world in which Sano successfully plays 1B for the Twins. In black and white, it is found in the Twilight Zone.

Rumsfeld was callous

Yes, your comments do show you know the meaning of those words

Revenue sharing will be a difficult thing to change. For the high value teams it is the revenue or the potential for revenue that drives the price up. There was an article behind a paywall that said in the headline that the Dodgers generated over 1 billion in revenue after revenue sharing, the tram revenue was somewhere around 780 million. Increasing the revenue sharing decreases the value of the clubs. The teams at the top of the revenue sharing are going tp want something in return for changing the system.

Perhaps you should do that.

According to Merriam-Webster, "dumping on someone" means to criticize or verbally abuse them, often showing a lack of respect According to Merriam-Webster, to "razz" means to heckle, deride, or tease, often in an informal and playful or unkind way.

Glen Taylor wanted to back out of the sale. The valuation of the franchise had gone up 500 million that situation brass no resemblance to anything known about the Twins franchise no matter how you want to spin it.

The value of the twins did not go up like the Timberwolves did during the protracted handover.

Thanks for once again showing that one needs to write a book so somebody will not insist their meaning of the word is what you meant.

Got to put something in there once in a while to see who spends time commenting on nothing

Once again a website error. Editing done to ensure I don’t have to type a third ———- time. The difference high to low on draft pool money last year or the year before was 12 million. The difference in IFA money was about 2 million. Due to trades for IFA money, competitive balance picks, picks lost or gained in compensation are big reasons for the disparity at the extremes. Rank by Payroll (dead money included) IFA + Draft pool might be a better way to rank. Don’t hold your breath waiting for someone to do that math. You might get a TBI from the fall. Operating costs can vary by cheapness. Pittsburg according to a longtime sportswriter in Pittsburg who is now a blogger, says that the other year was 171 million. DBSports I think was his website. Decent, thought out writing, Baseball America saw from public financial records Atlanta had expenses listed at 505 million, that year their payroll was 235 or 245. So that leaves 265 or so for operating costs and draft+IFA. A different article somewhere else once stated that all teams retry much spend the same amount of minor league operations at about 20 million., How do you get a cheaper front office? Less executives, less advisor to whomever positions, less sales weenies, less customer service reps and less scouting would be my guess. Again, don’t hold your breath on that one. In regards to something you posted earlier, give the staff of TD credit for knowing their market as complaining about the owner does nothing but create clicks. A well thought out column on baseball appears not to. Yes there was another run error during typing

Nothing is wrong with it. The subject though is as useless as teats on a boar pig.

Lots of years and money for a 30 year old

There is nothing objective about any rating. It is an emotional argument
