    Yup, and it is arguing for a player that was available that 29 other clubs did not think he would help them as the thirteenth position player on a roster.

    The big trouble is the mountain made out of the molehill that is the 13-14th player on a roster

    They had waived him to clear a 40 man spot. They probably thought nobody would claim him. The dodgers did. On the other hand, no one bought him from the Dodgers to fill in a utility roll despite him having a decent season in AAA

    Kreidler was Culpepper’s backup. Ben Ross was called up to be backup. So if someone else needed to be called up because Ross is unacceptable as a developing shortstop you are proving my point that there was not major league talent to be had. , nowhere do I say it was a fine situation, only that the whole burning on. The Jackson bit ignores that there really wasn’t a better option.

    Expecting from the system to magically have a 26th player after they cycled through 5 other players is a real head scratcher I asked you to look t come up with a name so as maybe, unrealistically,, that you could come to the conclusion it has been a lost cause all year for the last utility player spot on this team Confidently wrong? You are more than that

    A defensive replacement or pinch runner generally does not get a plate appearance. It still smells of just whining to whine when you cannot say which of the other players that were sent down should have been retained on the roster That was the choices at the time. . The last reserve or bench player position is where you, and others, are taking a stand on what constitutes big trouble is an interesting take.

    That does not even begin to answer the question posed. Someone? They did not have that someone

    So people would rather have Tristan Gray playing? Any of the prospects that aren’t hitting up sooner. More of the prospects learning to sit at the end of a bench rather than being on the field? /

    Absolutely the games have meaning. Just not the one you hoped for.

    The biggest need for this club may be to figure out how to move on from the 25 years old and older players who haven’t produced in a couple of years. Unfortunately the upcoming free agent class looks like a pile of bandaids outside of a few players. They can find a few relievers
  11. old nurse
    Ouch, a lot of older players on the lists.

    Free McPhail has been the recent director of minor league development, Sean Johnson amateur scouting. There have been no reports of their dismissal. There was never a report on what exactly the senior advisor of scouting actualy did or have authority over.

    The Mets are already wrecked.

    Roster overhaul may be coming. Worry about who goes where in spring training
  15. old nurse
    So Adler is a solid addition for any front office yer the narrative of the Twins FO is negative. The comment about his wisdom in roster construction should give more than a few people a laugh

    The Dodgers collect oft injured players and manage to win

    To be slightly fair, hitter of the year for TD is an award for who had the best season more than talent. Had the kept the juiced ball the memory of Max Kepler’s 3rd row power would have been retained. Sano fell off quickly after the change Other players showed the fragility of health, be it physical or mental. The only constant over the last 13 years in the scouting or development departments has been Sean Johnson. He was just fired. Finding needles in a haystack, really a large barn of hay, is a tough business. Look at any year’s draft results by round.

    The criticizing with minimal knowledge of complex situations is what people do.

    Medical decision making starts and ends with the patient, the medical profession can hawk their knowledge to get the patient in, the patient always has consent. The process for each patient is going to be different, maybe only slightly, but still different. Medical imaging gives the practitioner an idea of what is there, but inn not totally definitive. As many other people have done, i can speak from experiences. I can say I have heard “Once we hot in there it was worse than we thought” as well as”It wasn’t as bad as we thought”. “_______ did not show up on imaging”. From what I have seen, with joints they try other things before cutting. What I know is that in the case of Byron Buxton I don’t know anything specific so it would be foolish to criticize the process. I can hope along the way they assed risk to benefit with the outcomes and made the correct decisions.

    Only 2 real impact players, Skubal and the reliever out of San Diego. The only hope to get a Skubal is if he hates the LA lifestyle.

    Zebby’s 21% k rate is pretty good, as is his 7% walk rate. Unfortunately there is the other 70% where for. A pitcher with his innings or more, he ranks near the bottom
  23. old nurse
    Deron led 9 drafts. Buxton, Berrios, Gibson, Dozier Rosario, Garver and Hicks were the only players that had at least a few good years for the Twins. I really don’t know how anyone could think that few oh successes would justify continued employment in management. Could you explain it for me. The spreadsheets would have been around for years that Joohnsson was in management.
  24. old nurse
    Because you can’t.
  25. old nurse
    Deron Johnson is special advisor to Sean Johnson. He was scouting director 2007-2016. Considering those drafts it was long overdue.
