I agree, Dave St, Peter is a train wreck! But, he is the president, so I think we are stuck with him.

I think Ken Rosenthal summed it up best: the Twins implosion is an overall organizational malady. The Pohlad's confirmed and reiterated a valuable business lesson. They cut expenses. As a self-employed LLC small business, I can cut costs, too! I'm no longer going to buy tickets as gifts from professional teams who have no interest in providing a quality product or service. Of course, all teams have injuries. It seems the Dodgers have their fair share, but they still compete and succeed. The Twins implode. I do not profess to be an athletic trainer, but again, the question becomes, "is there a problem with the Twin's development and physical training?"

Soon after his brief stint in Syracuse, Rollins was promoted to the Twins and made his major league debut on June 16, 1961 against the Chicago White Sox. He finished the game 1-for-4 in Minnesota's 6–1 win. Rollins spent the rest of the season with the Twins as a little-used bench player, batting .294 with 3 RBI in 13 games. During spring training, Rollins started in both shortstop and third base. Twins owner Calvin Griffith saw Rollins' potential in third base, and recommended that Rollins should be given the job over more experienced players like Harmon Killebrew, and John Goryl. Griffith stated that it was Rollins' "sincerity and steadiness" on how he handled the position that proved that he could start in the American League. Having got the job, Rollins responded by hitting .486 over the Twins' first 10 games. Playing in 159 games, Rollins finished the season hitting .298 with 16 home runs and 96 RBI, production that would earn him the nickname, at least among his teammates, of Pie, after Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame third baseman, Pie Traynor Rollins was also compared to former longtime Senators third baseman Ossie Bluege.

It appears that the Twins organization wants to focus solely on its farm system and is no longer interested in making trades. Understandably, from management's perspective, their trades seldom work out. And we all know the dismal trades the Twins organization made over the last few years.

Orioles (Suarez) vs Twins (Ober): 9/29/24, 2:10pm
Brad Philbrick replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
I agree wholeheartedly! So much of the roller coaster season was due to the vast amount of injuries this season.
