    Billikens >> Gopher basketball Why is it they only "right sized" the MLB payroll but not the front office staff?
  2. DJL44
    True. What is "usual" has changed in the last 5 years. It seems like the teams are afraid to send any good pitching prospects now which leads to high scores.
  3. DJL44
    It would probably help if the Twins won 9 more World Series including 2 in the past 25 years. The Cardinals do well with attendance because they do well on the field.
  4. DJL44
    They are doing quite well in wins/$$. I think they are being judged on wins/$$ and not playoff success so they will probably be judged favorably.

    Average cost of attending MLB game increased in 2021 - Yahoo Sports That's $62 per person. They have to share half that revenue with the league but the Twins should easily clear $30M more than the Athletics for in-stadium revenue. Statista estimates the Twins will generate $100M more revenue than the Athletics in 2024. Total is $342M. MLB revenue by team 2024 | Statista That's less than the average $378M but way more than the $130M payroll. Payroll is <40% of revenue. The Cardinals are generating $372M with a smaller market than the Twins.

    They don't usually send experienced AA players to the AFL and I can't remember a AAA player like Eeles being selected. The talent is usually random players with experience at high A or just debuted at AA. There is some talk about Walker Jenkins getting a spot.

    Why downgrade the bullpen by sending Henriquez to AAA?
  8. DJL44
    Reminder to everyone that the Rangers ended last season with a second half record of 38-33.
  9. DJL44
    They already called up Henriquez. Blewett and Boushley were performing the best of the rest. Topa has looked good when he can get on the mound. Zack Weiss started throwing again about a month ago and has been mediocre. An average organization will produce about 2 players a year from their minor leagues who can contribute at the MLB level.

    I can't fault Baldelli for using Jax for one inning, a role which he has excelled in. I also can't fault Baldelli for using Jhoan Duran in relief in a close game, he doesn't have any better options.

    I looked up the 2021 Wichita team and you may be right but that team didn't have much pitching. Winder, Balazovic, Sands, Vallimont, Austin Schulfer and Bryan Sammons were in the rotation. Sands looks like the best of the bunch now and they have all been moved to the bullpen. Jovani Moran, Kody Funderburk and Yennier Cano looked good in relief.
  12. DJL44
    I hope so. The Twins attendance is about 1M higher.
  13. DJL44
    Asking a lot from a reliever with an ERA above 6 in AAA. Winder was the worst on the Twins at holding baserunners last year. Any word on whether he has improved at holding runners?
  14. DJL44
    Billy Martin and Rocco Baldelli are complete opposites. Every weakness for one is a strength for the other.
  15. DJL44
    Buxton and Lee.
  16. DJL44
    Red Sox waived Joely Rodriguez - LHP who gets a lot of grounders.
  17. DJL44
    He's very unlikely to hit .346 for a full season so I wouldn't count on what he's done for us lately. He's hit .260 over the course of his professional career. A .260/.330/.370 line is what I would expect as a baseline. If he can improve his defense that's good enough for a 4th OF role. He has the tools (75th percentile sprint speed) to be better on defense but his results have been underwhelming (6th percentile OAA). The Twins wasted a lot of time playing him at SS and the claims that he is a "natural" outfielder were highly exaggerated. If his defense doesn't improve his MLB career will be quite short.
  18. DJL44
    He's worse at 2B than Julien.
  19. DJL44
    Winder might get promoted but I'm skeptical that a reliever with an ERA over 6 in AAA is going to help.
  20. DJL44
    Don't forget baserunning so bad his grandma chewed him out.
  21. DJL44
    Jeffers, Duran, Lewis (he's a free agent sooner than you think), Jax.
  22. DJL44
    Because it's cheaper to do it earlier than later. You risk more guaranteed money by waiting because they get more expensive.
  23. DJL44
    Rosters expand on Friday. They let Okert go. Maybe they'll finally be willing to cut Kyle Farmer if Lee is healthy.
  24. DJL44
    I don't think Keirsey will be a starter but he's probably worth having for the AAA shuttle, especially when Byron Buxton is the team's starting CF. Someone mentioned Jake Cave and that might be fair. Jake Cave has played over 500 games in MLB. I don't think they have added him because they want to use all 3 of his option years 2025-27 as a 15th or 16th position player on the roster.
  25. DJL44
    Winder has a 6.16 ERA in AAA in 41 innings. Henriquez has a 3.44 ERA in 55 innings. Henriquez would have to give up 11 runs in his next inning to match Winder's performance.
