    Yup, corporate speak and platitudes. You want something different. Yup. You won’t get fooled again. Just remember Townsend’s last line of the song

    Interesting how 2 people can read the same article and have different ideas what was meant. I read that Joe was surprised by the Correa moved when called in on it and joe stated he did’t think they were going to trade that many player. Maybe I read a different article that the same author. Maybe people just see what they want

    Since the beginning of sports team, winning cures chemistry, individual satisfaction, ….and any other complaints. Losing can bring out the dark side, regardless of leadership

    They would also complain if the team traded the underperforming free agents away.

    That is what right sizin a payroll means

    Twins score 5 runs and it is called anemic.

    As a RF Wallner is about in the middle of the pack for batting. As DH of LF Larnach would not have a trade market. Almost all teams have someone who can do the job better

    The Twins front office has 58 people listed i brand marketing ad ticket sales. Unfortunately, it is not satire to say that many people are ineffective. On the bright side, if the Twins would have spent the sales people’s salary on Josh Bell or Justin Turner rather than spending the little that they did on Ty France they still would have been hustled as mediocre at 1b

    Earlier in his career Jeffers hitting was said to fall off when he was behind the plate more. The team will find out if this still holds true. A .759 OPS makes him adequate for a starting DH If he maintains that he is in the very good status for a catcher. The use of OBP is pretty useless on a team that has one of the lowest OBP and batting averages in baseball unless they keep him near the top of. The order

    But, but, but, they were correct about France

    He was in the minors for most of July Abel. July 4, 2025Philadelphia Phillies optioned RHP Mick Abel to Lehigh Valley IronPigs. June 4, 2025Philadelphia Phillies recalled RHP Mick Abel from Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

    Service time is not an issue as he has about 31 days of service time with the Phillies. Had he spent 2 months with the Twins it would not change much. If he pitched so well as a super 2 to get a big raise, they would be ecstatic

    There is nothing in Adams game logs that say major league pitcher other than 1 game. Ohl may or may not develop, but I doubt there is much advantage to having him spend more time in the minors. So let him pitch every third day and see what happens.

    So you expect them to talk the talk? The walk is almost always going to be to not spend their own money. Cohen is a rarity, he is also in New York where he could actually recoup the money if the team consistently wins

    It worked pretty well in 1991. The winning years in the first decade of this century the money was pretty divided. The thing is not really the money for one rather it is do you have a couple of young position players and a couple young starters performing. This year is not going well because of the money spent on Correa. Had two of Julian, Miranda, Larnach, and Lee developed into above average hitters as well as one of Festa and Mathew’s into an above average pitcher, this season would be looking a lot different
  17. old nurse
    About the only comment that i recall making Correa out to be a villain was not a fan but a clickbait artist on a Twins fan site claiming he negatively influenced the young batters.

    What year did any of them lose money. Washington spent when they had a 2.5 million attendance . Reds had 2,5 million attendance, they had a higher payroll after that, attendance went down, spending went down. Same for KC. Payroll did not go up unless attendance did. Nobody was losing money. Expecting someone to come in and spend more than they earn does not happen in low revenue teams.

    Sell the team they say Orioles sold a year ago March. No new GM, no new spending Royals sale, GM promoted from within, no new spending Miami sale, Hill retained and promoted, dysfunction continued Reds sale. Not spending Nationals sale, not big spenders Brewers sale, Athletics stayed moneyball Rays stayed the Rays. Briefly went up with Longoria Those are the markets with less than 400 million in revenue that have sold in the last 20 years. Why do people think a Twins sale would be any different?

    League average ERA for pitchers is 4.12. Of the pitchers who have 80 IP, there are only 66 pitchers who have above average ERAs. League wide there is a dearth of pitching. Nobody is going to beat down the door for either of them. Somebody though will need one of them. Service time wise, they are about the same. Sears is 4 or 5 years older. He gives up more runs per game. At 24, teams could still think SWR can improve enough to league average. I doubt the same would be thought of Sears

    JP is already in El Paso. I would say he is a talent that 3 organizations failed to unlock

    If Painter was considered to e a top of the rotation pitcher by the Phillies it might have taken throwing in Ryan to get a deal for Painter. Check back in 5 years to see if San Diego made a mistake. I would bet not.

    From a perceived talent, I think the White Sox are probably the most disappointing team in

    Projections are based on the top position players and top starters/ relievers. The drop off for the Twins with the second line players is not accounted for. The projection systems have a hard time with rookies and aging players. Those 2 conditions were the 21 Twins. The same could be said for this year. The projections being off by 3-4 games would be considered fairly accurate by most.

    The horizontal axis had distance from starting point as well as difficulty of the play. There was only 2 or three plays he did not make outs on. The graph did not show that balls landed further that 70 and less than 100o . So when you want to say that he only catches the balls hit to him, where is the proof? Twins are a flab all pitch team, the infielders will have less chance hence less OAA and less chance for DRS
