    Onviously I didn’t read the article as I do not have a yellow background. The Twins were in the middle of the pack in terms of runs, hits, OPS,, WRC, WOBA<and GIP. When you look at the the stats for the players, 30% of the PA were by players with an OPS+ less than 90. Two of the main culprits will leave via free agency Improved health of key players will also bring the numbers up. A cure for the sophomore slumps would also be of help. Maybe the will add a sports psychologist to the training staff

    In no universe can you predict the pulley tendon injury and the resulting changes in what he could do

    Speed without OBP is useless. That is why these guys are available on a budget contract. Igleseas might could do it. It might have also been an outlier year

    You have a bucket list

    Yup, Falvey did everything, that is why there are 6 vice presidents and over 50 other assistants, directors, and other titles as well listed under him in baseball operations

    It will be interesting to see if there are any changes in direction on trades with Levine gone. With the guaranteed contracts totaling almost 100 million, and with 13-14 arb eligible players something is going to have to give. Maybe the new GM will not have a fondness for oft injured pitchers

    You sure don’t act like you know you don’t have facts. LA Times also had said the offers were in the 2.5 billion range. Then again, that is the media that you can be so dismissive of because you know so much more about sales of teams than the local paper would

    Scott was traded for a slew of prospect is true. Years ago Craig Kimbrel was traded twice for prospects. I really can’t say there were gems there. The FO did well with trading for Alcala and Duran., they might do well with Henriquez some day.. Just don’t expect a whole lot out of a trade

    So are you supposed to throw a tantrum, fling bats and helmets and the like when you have a negative outcome in baseball. Just a “dammit” under your breath and moving on is a negative.

    As the price was far mor than what the Mets sold for, no difference with the Rendon contract. You have an opinion. Past this point try a fact

    The numbers say the payroll went down. What happened with the club is they got old and had already lost the core. Sure it happened at the time of the sale but the club was so bad they had to start over.

    The contract had zero effect on the bid as you can see by the numbersper an SI article On the bid. Moreno being Moreno took the team off the market But ESPN has now reported some actual offers that Moreno rejected last year for the team and let's just say... he was not kidding when he was talking about how big the sums were.

    In a 3 billion Olaf sale, Rendon’s contract is not the hold up

    What talent did the Royals sell? The rest of your statement is backwards of what the people here have said about a profitable team

    As his scale shows very little in terms of by trade. Lopez, Alcala, Ryan, and Woods Richardson all had a larger total than what was listed despite Farmer, Margo, Carmago, and Duran’s negative numbers

    So none of the lefty handed contingent, DFAd or demoted had a bad pitch, it was just bad luck. Sign them all back up with a raise

    They are only worth twice as much as the Twins if and only if they can capture more of the market . YES pays 143 million. SNT pays the Mets 88 million. Average ticket price fore the Yankees is $276. Average ticket price for the Mets is $28 per Statistica. Per Statistica the Mets are about $280 million behind the Yankees The Mets have a long way to go to catch up to the Yankees. It may never happen. So no, it is not absolutely

    The Mets are in the largest media market that cares about the Yankees. The fans do out to Yankees games. Cohen made the big spasm with a lot of big money signings. It did not bring fans to the half empty stadium. So yes the Mets are not worth 2x the Twins

    People have iscussions about fantasy things all of the time. This group does it a lot

    By unearned runs the Twins were below average. Of course the truly awful teams were closer to 100 unturned runs while the Twins were near 50. The limiting factor is range as the Twins have the worse USR150. Coaching is not going to make up for that
  21. old nurse
    I find it od that the writer can disparage the Twins for not spending money and disparage Vazquez in the same story. Withe the glut of horrible play by so many infielders, did it matter if they spent money?

    Organizational philosophy, Baldelli carried them out. He was given a right handed OF with a career track record of not being a pinch hitter.. he was given 10 different relievers that were off the scrap heap and failed. His pre arb pitchers appeared to run out of gas or not quite ready for prime time but there was no other options. It was a recipe for failure. It is a make or break year for Hassan and Stell more than Baldelli. Casey Stengel managed 8 World Series winners as well as the team that used to have the record for most losses in a season. The manager can only work with the material they have

    Any of these players could be traded if there was a decent return. For Topa and Kirilllof the question would be does any team other than the Twins trade for oft injured players? Kirilloff may be offered the minimum with incentives and if he doesn’t take the offer he would be released. One decent season in 4 injury filled years should not make him more than a minimum contract they traded for Topa, he is not going anywhere unless it is a great offer If somebody offers a 5-10 type for Duran they would probably trade him. I don’t know how extensive of a pst season physical they get. Checking out the UCL should be something that is done. Velocity drops are the first sign of a problem. Does the FO think that Lee and Martin showed enough that they could replace Castro? That would determine if they keep Castro. They still have to find a rh bat. Castro could be the swap

    What this front office would hire is another person with the same mindset. The only reason to move on from Baldelli would be problems between the position players and Baldelli.

    He has taken the team as far as he could with the resources he has. It probably is time to move on
