    You miss the obvious, not unusual

    The Twins poured 24 position players through the filter. By performance very few should be back. Considering the 900 AB by 9 position players who could not OPS .650. One could say Larnach is a valuable bat being league average considering the number of poor hitter. One could say given the large number of AB to poor performing players that being league average doesn’t mean much as most the low 9 might not see major league pitching again except in case of emergency

    Yup Maddon is the man for the job. Look at how welll he turned around the Angels. Yup they need a manager who can teach fundamentals. After T-ball, little league, high school, maybe college, 5 possible minor leagues plus instructional leagues, winter leagues and summer leagues for college the player still hasn’t learned much defense the major leagues manager is going to fix that overnight

    Incorrect. Molitor is the only one who ever got people out to watch a sub par team. At 69 i doubt he wants to manage

    AI Overview While the Pohlad family has never filed for personal or business bankruptcy

    Other than the Twins, what company has a Pohlad as a CEO?

    Berrios in Toronto has had an ERA and FIP over 4 in Toronto. That puts him at about league average. If they guessed right when they traded for Duran. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt on their other young acquisitions?

    Quite a few. They even pick up minor league free agents. They said they would build a pipeline. They did not say where the flow would come from
  9. old nurse
    When they said pitching pipeline they did not say minor league players we developed. These guys are sneaky that way.

    Last week is when I heard about it. It was 7 scouts then. Today on the radio I heard the number was 9. I can see the number of pro scouts declining as all the data collection devices may give the teams the understanding of what the player does. The computer geek can figure out how to sort all of the data into something meaningful. College and high school will probably still need scouts so as to determine personality traits and ethics. As long as that information stays on file, they can assess if the player is someone who will fit the culture

    Cot’s contracts will give you the actual money and benefits paid out to all who were on the 40 man. Statistica and Forbes give you the revenue after sharing is subtracted and added. Then there is remembering what upgrades were done to Target Field. Indeed will tell you. That average board of directors pay is 80K although another site said up to 300K. Figure out CEO pay for a comparable family company is a little more challenging. The billion dollar family business paid the CEO over 8 million. Joe probably makes a couple bucks more than Falvey

    Nobody mentions they let go of most of the pro level scouts when they mention Outman. Probably the same could be said for Roden

    When Forbes presents the revenue data it is the total after all the revenue sharing money is added and subtracted. 320-330 some million is their revenue, not 10% less than league average PAYROLLS YearOpening Day 26-man Year End 40-manCB Tax 40-man 2024$127,317,590 (18)$132,543,419 (19)$160,175,512 (19) 2023$153,713,740 (17)$166,950,772 (16)$177,100,325 (18) 2022$134,408,190 (18)$151,057,543 (15)$173,198,565 (14) 2021$125,277,666 (16)$125,983,176 (17)$145,511,247 (16) 2020$ 45,620,603 (18)$ 52,627,942 (19)$168,319,022 (16) From Cot’s baseball contracts for what the Twins paid for players for the year. 1,202 mil revenue from 2020-2024 823 million paid out The final column in the list by Cot’s is what they paid in total for all the players. So, including the cost of Target Field upgrades it is quite possible to be that far into debt.

    Perhaps you can provide a source that specifically says that Baldelli would be the one hiring coaches when they were hired.

    The Atlanta Braves’ books are a little more open than most teams. Their luxury tax payroll in 23 was 276 million. Their total expenses were 505 million which means everything else with the club cost 230 million. The same year a Pittsburg beat writer got access and found that the club had operating expenses of 171 million. Somewhere in between would be the Twins. In 20 and 21 they did not lay anyone off despite no or decreased fans and revenue. It is entirely possible for the Twins to have run up that much debt.

    LaMonte Wade was redundant as an outfielder and not better than Rosario in hitting or fielding. He was not given a chance to unseat Sano at 1b, nor was there a reason at that time to do so. He had 2 okay years, but nothing really to build around The Mahle trade as a bad trade. No health issues as the time of the trade, could have been middle of rotation starter. Spencer Steer had one great full season then mediocrity. Would have fit perfectly into the 2025 Twins. It was neither a good nor bad trade, it is hard to say if it has really worked for either side. If you are good enough to see injuries happening within a month or so you can quit blogging and make more of a fortune as a fortune teller MeGill, it took Milwaukee a year to get him to better pitching. Give them credit for development. Basically you have one bad Lopez trade. Desperation for winning causes teams to do desperate things. Trading for a journeyman having a career year is one of those things.

    Perhaps iff Correa had a career OPS and playing time as a Twin, not only would the Twins not have to eat the money, Rocco would still have a job

    The myth that any billionaire is spending their own money on the benevolence of the community for a winning team is pretty much pie in the sky thinking. The Mets make 1/3 the money the Yankees do. If Cohen can make the Mets as relevant to New York as the Yankees and make that kind of money he will have doubled his investment. The Twins are not in the Yankees or Mets city or circumstances. San Diego spent to build a contender and it worked. The fans came out, it is the only pro game in town. When the owner died and the tv contract did, they retrenched some of the spending. The fans still came out. That is not the Twins’ situation nor fan base.

    Which one is going to be Rocco Lite? Why bother even mentioning people who are outside of the Falvey style?

    If the talent level remains the same, the type of candidate will be one that is labeled as can’t develop talent nor handle a pitching staff. If Gonzalez, Emma, and Culpepper come up and shine, it is the manager’s doing. Do you think they are going to hire someone who is not on the same thought pattern as. Falvey.?

    2 months ago a large group of players were traded, Outside of Bader, which player wasn’t developed or blossomed as a Twin? Either the angst of trading is misplaced or the Rocco doesn’t develop players is misplaced. Did Joe Ryan come here as a Cy Young candidate? Last spring on thes very same pages Bailey Ober was touted as a Cy Young candidate. Is it on the manager he wasn’t even close to being in the discussion this year. Did Pablo Lopez come here as a Cy Young candidate ? With a new manager is Edouard Julian going to become a GG candidate as well as silver slugger? The real Larnach is going to be a 30/30 guy and hit .300 with Brooks Lee not far behind? Perhaps the new manager will explain pitch counts to the TD people who wonder why pitchers are not pitching high number of innings

    Gardenhire was fired for not developing talent. Those 90 loss teams were all the fault of Gardenhire not developing talent. It was all right here on this site, Now he was great at developing talent.

    For as long as this site has been in business, anyone making over the minimum gets scrutinized.

    What do these people all have in common? Kirby Yates, Ryan Brasier, Ryan Pressly, Liam Hendriks (mutual option) Michael Kopech, Jordan Romano, Paul Sewald (mutual option), Ryne Stanek, Jonathan Loáisiga (club option), T.J. McFarland, Joe Ross, Josh Walker, Andrew Kittredge (club option), Jorge López, José Leclerc, Tim Mayza, Tommy Kahnle, John Brebbia (club option), Tyler Alexander, Kendall Graveman (mutual option), Luke Jackson, Scott Alexander, Lucas Sims, Dillon Tate. Your one clue is that 4 of these players, if available, could make you reach out for prochloroperazene. thans to the Just baseball website for providing the list

    Interesting how people forget the 70s, or is this just part of the group think,, everyone has to complain mentality?
