    Only a fool would think the absence of fans did not play a part in their decisions.

    Good decisions by Falvey 1. Seems to recognize pitching talent
  4. old nurse
    Bad decisions by Falvey 1. Trading for players with injury histories 2. The focus on power first hitters, trying to make hitters power hitters that aren’t 3. Trading for a player having a career year 4. Long term contract for Correa. That was putting all of your eggs in one basket that is flimsy 5. Counting on fans to show up for a team that was winning.

    Fangraphs will tell you that WAR is an approximate number. Therefore the win total is an approximate number. What one can gather from their numbers is that the teams in the central division are all about equally mediocre so it is possible to be competitive in the central division. Every team has a collection of what ifs

    Fangraphs doesn’t claim 100% accuracy.

    Half the money on over, half on under, Vegas makes their money on the juice. They are not prognosticating for anything other than to make themselves money

    People keep going to the on field affairs. At this point with no major money to be spent it was going to be on Zoll the GM to figure out. On the business and staffing side ,which Falvey also had control over, is where the likely problem lies. Payroll in the 120 million range, revenue was over 300 million and they were losing money. Unless you are a moron with a chainsaw it does take a little time to learn the details. The timing of that leadership change was not going to t effect the on field performance

    Did it occur to you to look at the Pohlad website?

    Nobody takes the simple, easy solution. If the disarray on the plate side of things bothered the Pohlads Falvey would have been fired at the end of the season. The financial disaster was to be blamed on anyone other than a Pohlad, which is was because they removed Jim and Joe, the financial executives would be gone. The personalities of Tom Pohlad and Falvey might be like oil and water and it took a month to figure that out.

    Kopech and Kahnle may still be hoping for the 5+ million contracts. Kopech with incentives to reach that number would be a good idea. Not sure what his injury wa last year. Kahnle had a bad year, I think Detroit was using him for closer. It might not be what he is suited for

    The business side of the Twins did not see the RSN collapse coming. There are all sorts of people on the business side in revenue projecting and revenue generating. All are most likely St Peter guys. If on the business side Falvey wanted to retrench and remove that might not sit well with St. Peter. Falvey lost the power struggle Correa was signed with the blessing of ownership. The money to pay him was anticipated by the revenue people. Lopez was extended by the same process. Owing Correa 10 mill is better than 30 mil. Again, an ownership decision. Why St Peter was not also mutually parted is a questioned that should be asked. Maybe that is going to happen. People here want to blame the player side of the business. The problem is on the other side.

    If the team was losing so much money at the payroll they were at that means the front office was inefficient with the money they were spending with the results they were getting. Perhaps this is the effect of the investors. Falvey had no answer to spending less.

    2 of the 4 starters in the bullpen. One of the other 4 will leapfrog Adams. The other real possibility is what players they sign in the next 2 months. Adams and Raya from the list would be the DFA candidates unless they decide to remove another position player. When the price gets low enough there will be a couple ore signings.
  15. old nurse
    They haven’t DFAd Adams yet.

    An 88 mph fastball used to be considered a high velocity fastball. Times change, the game changes, some people never notice

    So if you are including the players signed by Clark Griffith, players developed by the White Sox, that is fine. If you want to include players with 5 year careers that is fine. Under 11 war is hall of pretty good. Pohlad Gets Knoblach, Koskie, Hunter, Jones AJ, Radke, Scott Erickson, Scott Baker, LaTroy Hawkins, Span, Cuddyer. Heck, even Kyle Loshe and and Matt Garza had better careers than Boswell.

    BOGO turned out to be buy one get Ohl free. Well, i was close on the BOGO comment. . Maybe Washington will come through on a clearance sale.

    The trades cited are almost reasons not to trade. The return for Gore reminds me of the return for Johan. The return for Perralta was a back of the rotation type pitcher and a ranked prospect falling down the rankings. The pitcher could end up contribute to winning. The position player could contribute to whining

    He did say optimistic. At their near ceiling level of play and staying healthy, the guess is possible. Doubtful,

    The he is from Minnesota bit is interesting. Do you think the people on this site think Forrest Lake is in Canada or is it because Wallner played his college ball down south he is no longer a Minnesotan? He certainly doesn’t get the love that Varland does

    Morneau, Santana, and even Buxton had HOF careers altered by injuries. Nathan should be in as a reliever, Ortiz was developed by the twins. HOF as a measure of drafting and developing is a very limiting way to determine how good a development team is. Considering that a HOF career is usually of the 12-15 year variety and it takes a few years of development on the front side plus 6-16 on the backside of a career to get in. 42 years is a small window.

    The few times I have read the writers just for fun it does not seem all that much different than their usual writing

    When something looks like a mistake it actually might be a mistake. You would know if you looked it up

    On average fangraphs is off by 8. As trades are made after rankings come out and rookies are hard to project, variance is going to happen if a team goes into tank/sell mode that would increase the variance.
