I know other people have focused on Moran, the money saved, etc.....all fair points. But I actually looked up Wong....I wouldn't trade James Outman for him. Jeffers? -
I imagine the McDermott news threw everyone off a bit coupled with at least two of the coordinators still in the mix having a shot at a job.

Twins current bullpen acquisition methodology:

I think it's even more than that....say what you want about Tua, but Flores has a reputation for how he dealt with a young QB. If you have an uncertain situation (Pitt) or one with a guy that might have ran the last guy out of town (Lamar Jackson)....do you want to introduce Flores and his wild-card nature to that situation? I'm happy to have Flo back, but he will likely never recover from his handling of that situation in Miami no matter how vindicated he may be.
-
That sounds like McCarthy's job. I think we have B-Flo back...thank goodness.

So we're openly ripping Beane (and rightfully so) for being a bad GM, but under his watch the drafts have looked like this: 2022 (Picking 23)- Kair Elam (bust), James Cooks (Massive hit), Terrel Bernard (solid hit), Khalil Shakir (5th round great hit), Christian Benford (solid) 2023 (Picking 25) - Kincaid (Overdrafted, but a contributor), Torrence (solid starting guard), Dorian Williams (bust) 2024 - (Picking 30th) Bust City - Coleman, Bishop, Carter, etc. 2025 - (Picking 30th) TBD but lots of guys they played. Not sure any are hits or busts yet. When you compare that to KAM drafting 11th, 23rd, 12th, and 24th We walked away with only Addison, Reichard, Turner, Nailor, Ward, McCarthy and our own slate of TBDs. I mean....I trade that group for the Bills group 10 out of 10 times. I might have a harder call if Addison knew how to go to bed after 1am or if Turner completes his upswing....but right now? Easy call that the Bills drafted better despite being 10 rungs lower in the draft most years.

Pretty much mirrors my thoughts I just posted! But you make a good point about the culture. I think he struggled to be a leader of men at the same level he was a play caller and schemer. He seemed well liked, but maybe too well liked. Harbaugh has that on lock down...what he needs is somebody that can make the offense go. Like you said....the ceiling of that offense with his mind is scary. Like "early favorite for futures bets I'm going to place on their upside" scary.

I think ultimately it came down to the QB, but their talent eroded pretty rapidly over the years. They took a lot of big, Madden-like swings on players rather than smart, meat and potato type additions. McDaniels strikes me as one of the few new-wave young coaches who is still committed to the running game. He just does an awesome job working people open and mixing up his formations/attack. Give him Herbert, a good (healthy?) offensive line, Hampton, and that WR room? Yeah...I think the Chargers could be dangerous.

It's just example #1 billion that you don't have to be smart to be a billionaire.
-
I think his offensive schemes are great. He got undone by concussions and a bad GM. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

The Twins PR team appreciates your inventive phrasing to replace "dumpster diving"

I'm getting tired waving the homer hanky this offseason. Can't even muster up the gif!
-
I never would have expected a Jim Harbaugh-Mike McDaniel combo.
-
The RB seems awfully one dimensional. He's physical and straight ahead, but we have a guy like that already. That isn't a fit for us, IMO. The center is a good player and a good fit.
-
Not sure I love McGowan. The other three picks are great fits.

Anybody using a Steamdeck or another SteamOS device?

The Arkham games are all-timers. Just fantastic. -
Reddit sample size that I've seen is mad they fired him and not the GM. I look at McDermott as a guy who has an all-timer at QB but a pretty bad roster around him. Elevating that team to a SB contender every year seems like damn good coaching.

My brother in law just got a Steam Deck, I was impressed with it. Well designed, great lighting/size on the screen, good layout for controls. Loved how easily it could switch from game mode to browser mode. If I wasn't so set as a console gamer I'd strongly consider it. Playing BG3 or Expedition 33 on the go as a parent would be awesome. -
My over bet got wrecked by over-cute coaching.

We're literally deciding catches on "vibes"
-
Adams....catch and down. Cooks...nope. FFS.
-
I wanted Skattebo with the pick that we took Felton. Hell...I wanted TWO backs out of that class last year.
-
God do we need a back like Monangi. If only those were available on day three of drafts....

There's a reason why Blackhawk fans don't sit during the anthem. They scream their heads off the whole time.
