    Well IMO their major free agent signing (Jason Castro) is not good. Their catching sucks and they really didn't do anything else. The improvement this year is just talented young players adjusting to MLB play.

    This thread shouldn't exist until it's too late.

    I think he is really intelligent. He frequently makes observations about his players psyche which leads me to believe he is good at the off the field part of the job. He buns too much but that is pretty minor in the big picture. 2 of the 3 years he has managed his teams overachieved which is a better indication of his abilities than the nebulous stuff fans write about.

    Probably true on the 80%. I predicted 81-81. Boy do I hope I'm wrong. ☺

    I don't dig all the bunting but it should be noted that Mollie took the bunt off after it was 1-1.
  6. Linus
    I agree. I will be satisfied if they get to the game. Considering 80% of the board was predicting 75 or fewer wins this is a great season.

    His strongest attribute is framing which nobody can accurately quantify and he's not very good at anything else. Color me skeptical.
  8. Linus
    They were absolutely correct in sitting him against lefties- they need to win games and he had no chance. Next spring, now that's a different story.

    By far the biggest improvement is simply due to young players adapting and improving as big leaguers. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but I can't remember one thing they have done that the description posted in the article. Rowson may be one but hard to know. He seems to have done a lot of work with Buxton which is huge.

    Wilson Ramos. Loved that trade (not)
  11. Linus
    Utility players for $5000. Houston Jiminez.
  12. Linus
    Paul Giel

    He really was given some of the best talent in the whole minor leagues. I'm not sure how good a Manger he really was and it's pretty obvious he's not in the same mold as the FO. He was fired by his boss which is perfectly reasonable.
  14. Linus
    Bombo Rivera
  15. Linus
    Mike Smithson

    Paul Thormodsgaard.

    Keith Atherton

    It probably would. You'll notice I didn't refer to the article at all because I didn't even read it at the time. That's how little I pay attention to Souhan. I don't know what you mean by conventional thinking as I didn't refer to it. I'm merely pointing out that the idea of his physical condition being discussed seems very sensitive around here. It's done all the time in pro sports.
  19. Linus
    Ted Uehlander.
  20. Linus
    George Mitterwald.
  21. Linus
    He's a pro athlete. His level of physical fitness is going to be discussed. I don't understand why people get all offended when somebody notices that Sano is over an optimal playing weight. Nobody insinuated he's a bad guy or lousy ballplayer just that if he were at an optimal weight it would benefit his play. I don't think these are radical ideas here.
  22. Linus
    Cesar Tovar. Played all nine positions. When I was a kid I loved the way Bob Casey announced his name.
  23. Linus
    Thanks to everyone who wrote the minor league reports. Huge part of Twins Daily.
  24. Linus
    Kind of a below the radar TR fleecing. Esco for one month of bad Liriano.
  25. Linus
    Plus if I recall correctly he started his career very slowly with the bat but ended up being a decent hitter in his prime. I can't recall if the slow start withe stick is why San Diego traded him?
