    At work we non-marketing people usually get to see the last 4 iterations of the redesign and give feedback for the final design decision that gets made by the core team. maybe someone took screen shots when they weren’t supposed to?

    They’re already Shirseys! genius!

    Reminds me of the old Timberwolves Edit to add… leaked Uni is Billy Hamilton ? Really?

    22.5% of the 40 man roster occupied by AAAA fringe major leaguers who took too long to progress would not bode well for a successful major league season. that would leave 5 players on the 40 but not on the 26 that weren’t a part of the rule 5 protection, meaning players you want on the 40 because they are actually prospects close to MLR.

    Larnach and Wallner strike out a bunch, but Gordon, Kepler and Kirilloff don’t. One of those 5 would need to go to make room for Gallo. I assume it would be Kep. they would also still need an improvement at RH 4th OF that can play CF. I could still get behind a Gallo signing.

    Over the last decade, the most players selected was 18, and the most frequent results were in the 12-15 players selected range. the average mlb team loses half a player to the rule 5. Not sure what the fret is about. The Twins lost 2 or 3 in a season, but if the Twins can’t find a spot for them, who can? that I can see in the last decade, the Twins lost and not returned Stuart Turner, Akil Baddoo, Luke Bard, Nick Burdi and Tyler Wells.

    Thrilled to see the Kasota gold border go away i like the cursive scripts like the Twin cities text on the pennant, not sure if I like the “Anaheim angels” bit, if they expand on that idea… the joke is fun when it’s spoofing the angels

    The w connecting the i at the top is how I learned cursive in the 80s

    Absolutely agreed, however if you’re “righting a wrong” history is less important than the future. Yes, that was a failure, but the more important “right” was putting Duran in the bullpen instead of giving him away and signing a second Joe Smith. The FO apparently learned from their mistake (in this example, I’m sure there’s counterpoints). as to the waiver claim idea, glad the Twins didn’t do it, they don’t have enough pitching to add more reclamation projects to the roster. It’s already full of reclamation projects that have a shorter timeline to recovery than Anderson.

    I like this a lot, especially the outfield. Pollock declined a 13m option, is $6m realistic? If he’d sign that, awesome. lots of fun to dream on this

    Outside of the top executives, front office personnel are $100k or less. 100 people making 100k, is one free agent mediocre infielder. https://www.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=984cf93e6273bccf&from=serp

    Have you ever changed jobs before. Are you a bad person for it?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Did he deserve the same blame for leaving Arkansas during recruiting season? How about you? Have you ever changed jobs? the timing on when job changes happens is never right. Every worker in the US is on their own. It happens, it’s not some moral thing. Wes needed to do what was right for him, just like the rest of us.
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Correa money is burning a hole in my pocket
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    Trading Kepler away for a SS would open up playing time for a good hitter in right field like potentially Wallner or sign a more sure Righty bat like Mitch Haniger or Aaron Judge :)
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    That and not having very good options on 2/5 of the rotation out of the shoot
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    But if Johnson leaving is the cause, why is the bottom while he’s still here?
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    The data doesn't really back this up in any concrete way, maybe July indicates a recalibration? Johnson announcement came June 27, June while he was still here was one of the worst months of the season, July, shortly after he left was the worst, and August was one of the best months, if not the best month of pitching ERA FIP xFIP FWAR Mar/Ap 3.16 3.87 3.91 1.8 May 3.64 3.58 3.93 3.4 June 4.18 4.66 4.46 .3 July 5.3 5.07 4.43 -.4 August 3.46 3 .16 3.54 4.5 Sept/Oct 4.22 4.09 4.32 2.3 I'm not saying there wasn't an impact, it had to be one, but that's a tough thing to dissect from the exterior
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great work Seth! Rootin’ for you Andrew! Go get ‘em!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I cannot, neither does fangraphs
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, I really hope the FO signs or trades for a front of the rotation type pitcher. if Sonny Gray is the best starting pitcher on the ‘23 team, it’ll be a lot like ‘22
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Neither May nor Rogers are remotely close to multi-inning pitchers, especially Rogers who I recall being awful in his 4th hitter faced, and worse in back to back games.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    Urshela accumulated 2.4 fWAR last year his career fWAR since 2015 is 5.8. That’s 41% of “value” over 7 seasons. he’s done it once before, but also had several seasons of 0 and negative. I wouldn’t expect Gio to put up another 2 WAR season in ‘23
