  1. The coaching numbers grew. The technology grew. The front office Staffing’s grew. The results shrank
  2. So the choice for Jackson would be AAA at 1.35 million here, chance a contract elsewhere and get maybe a million, or more likely lose a lot of money playing on a Milb contract.
  3. Sportrac and another source fast a 1.35 million contract, which is not almost 2 million
  4. Maybe this guy will travel more than Hendricks did from December ‘13 to November ‘14 3 has, 2 trades
  5. For 2024. In total revenue there were only 4 teams within 200 million of the Dodgers. That 200 million more spent on players salaries should get 28 out of the other 29 teams on board with caps and different revenue sharing. Considering that 8 more baseball teams lost a cash cow there should be enough to change the revenue sharing
  6. The Twins have passed twice on him
  7. The attendance did not go up for Winfield and Steinbach playing out the end of their careers as a Twin. Homegrown does not mean home love, see Matt Wallner comments on these pages. After his bad year I don’t recall any big keep Thielbar home movement
  8. Frankie and. Larry were the same age. One made almost 50 million, one 2 million. If a player is good at something they will make enough money. The good prospect ranking probably gave Frankie additional chances
  9. So now it is a bad thing that the team has drafted players playing. To read the commences one could think that Outman and Roden were going to be the outfielders. They were traded for. I guess wait and see and complain then
  10. There has been speculation of Horner being traded all winter. When they signed Bergman the reports said it was more likely to move Shaw and trade Horner
  11. Check attendance figures for the last couple of times they won the division, You are correct, you do get what you don’t pay for. It works both ways
  12. Did I say the Twins shouldn’t sign him for that value? I they certainly could. Now try and understand that what I said was you don’t know how far apart they were at the negotiating table. The Twins submitted a figure that was what the experts at trade rumors said he should get. It is not like they are unreasonably low with the offer. They might have been lower at the end of negotiations, Ryan might have been much higher. Still, you nullify a process that you screw nothing about
  13. The exact ammounts they were haggling over is unknown. The amount they were asking for in negotiations could be far different. The arbitration number represents what the agent thinks they can get out of someone else making the decision. There is a difference
  14. Crying about Nick Gordon not making a million. That works to destroy credibility of the blogger.
  15. Being jerked around by the Dodgers at least doubles your odds of getting onto a WS roster
  16. If having Bell’s intangibles cures the woes of the players who have underperformed from their peak it will not be a problem of what he does hitting as he would be on a bench.
  17. How quick he should rise depends on his talent level. If he is the second coming of Skenes, he can rise quickly. If he is the second coming of Dylan Bundy, it doesn’t matter. Is there really anything to learn besides throw the ball? If the answer is no, there is rapid rising. If the answer is yes, then there needs to be rapid learning to go with the rising
  18. They certainly have developed pitchers. Hitters other than Ryan on the major league level are still in the show me stage. Buxton was developed when they got here
  19. One of the worries is definitely over for this winter. The Twins will not be signing Noah Davis because Pittsburgh did.
  20. I don’t think Flores will go anywhere else as a DC. I doubt there are many organizations that would work to et the types of players Flores needs for his defense ‘ KOC and the M seem to listen to him. No knuckleheads are hide-able in his defense.
  21. 49 pitchers who pithed in the majors last year are still unsigned. The bottom has had activity as has the top. Some of the $4 mil signings would lead one to think that there are more than one pitcher who thinks that they deserve that much, hence a slow market.
  22. As the Dodgers signed Ibanez, the Dodgers see a player with minor league options so they have a plan D. The loss of such a player doesn’t concern the Twins because that type of player is always available for a. Little cash or your former 28th round draft pick
  23. Your last line proves it is a semantics argument on your part.
