    Suzuki isn't passing through waivers unclaimed which makes him most likely to bring a good return of players who are likely to be traded in the next 12 minutes

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/jonathan-luroy-no-trade-indians-brewers.html Lucroy exercised his no trade. Suzuki could be a much cheaper fall back option

    do you really think starting the search two weeks before the trade deadline helps? If you are serious about interviewing outside the org, how many teams are going to allow AGMs to interview during the season?
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    thanks John. Appreciate the transparency. I kind of agree with the stance you took. I wouldn't have made the move Pohlad did, in that I wouldn't have told Ryan he was fired until the end of the season. I would have waited until the last day of the season to do anything, then I would have given him a chance to retire or be fired on the spot.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    me too. The couple of times I've had the chance to chat John up at events have been great.

    jeppy was released

    I keep waiting for Joe to come up injured with some hard to detect injury (related to concussion or not) that puts him on the DL and after 6 weeks requires some kind of invasive treatment or surgery that sidelined him for the rest of the year

    my child is two and has never lived in or visited a house with a land line but if you hand her the old toy https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+toy+telephone&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=WAvkzwoh4-FUBM%3A She knows exactly what to do with it. On the other hand she taps and swipes my tv like it's an iPad

    if Dozier is so good, why des this team suck so bad? With Dozier, Escobar, and Sano on this infield Polanco would not play more than once a week until injury, and therefore would not progress, and Dozier will most certainly regress before his contract expires.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    id be ok w/ Polanco at 2nd. Dozier has been using a bit more of the field lately and may salvage a bit of trade value. Not much w/ that weird contract
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    dsan is terrible fielding at every position and can't hit consistently. Arcia is the same except he could at least provide a home run. With Buxton, Kepler, Grossman, Nunez, Escobar, Dozier, at the positions DSan plays, the team needs a bench bat for the outfield and a defensive specialist/Pinch runner in the infield. Arcia could be the bench bat, I don't know what Santana offers, but at least Beresford fields in the infield well.

    Best Sandwich -Jeff Fratzke's Muffuletta from back in the day
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    and very little high minors info as well. We know he can ride a bench in the bigs like a pro, not much else
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    who have they drafted/developed/signed/traded for behind him? If all you're getting is 8-10 years of Mauer, you best be succession planning from day one.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    that never attaches so it continually falls off?
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    According to Wikipedia Ichiro's father's name is Nobuyuki Suzuki (鈴木宣之) which would lead me to believe both are Americanized, and Ichiro would be his given and Suzuki would be his Surname. I would still put Suzuki on his Jersey but by tradition, I would imagine Suzuki would also be what one would call him. So Suzuki Ichiro would be the grammatically correct way to write it. However, the guy seems to want to be called Ichiro. Who am I to judge?
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    do you think an arm and a leg is reasonable?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    How come the article is titled "Twins V Marlins 5/7" and the forum is titled Twins V Marlins 6/7"? Am I time traveling and just don't know it?
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    So with Hughes to the Bullpen https://mobile.twitter.com/RhettBollinger/status/737332458538962945 and Gibson slotted in to start Thursday, who goes to triple A. Rogers?

    Here's an hour and half discussion from January 2015 about why the extension was ridiculous http://gleemangeek.libsyn.com/episode-176-hughes-and-stauffer
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    im with you on the statistical analysis part. What I want most in a leader is someone to lead, who values statistical analysis, understands it, and hires a good team to run it and influence/drive philosophies centered around the team core talent management strategy. Bench coach and someone in the AGM level of role should be the stat head team leaders. GM and Manager need to be the ultimate of people/player managers.

    i think part of Seths premise is with sending the players down for a couple months to AAA (a development league) is that they go with assignments and use that time to hone some skills while TR jettisons the old fogeys. the challenge I have, is how much do you gain in 6 weeks of development league as a player. And how much trade value does a mediocre veteran gain by playing more? i very much agree with the outcome and I'd be tempted to send Sano down to play 3rd at Rochester every day until Plouffe is traded (hopefully about 10 days).
