Pohlads deserve every bit of criticism they get, but are still pretty middle-of-the-pack as far as owners go. I mean, Jerry Reinsdorf? I don’t know if the crocodile tears for Falvey and Baldelli are real, fake, or probably somewhere in between for the writers on this site. Those two have a much bigger effect on Wins & Losses.
Credit where due: the Twins have had a nice rotation for a few years now. it came at a high cost in talent, but hey, you do what you need to do.
I will also add my two cents that I think by yesteryear’s standards, Rocco is, um, not a great tactician. For today’s baseball, my opinion is the same, but there are a lot more Rocco types in the league now too, so it doesn’t stand out quite as much and sometimes the Twins benefit by the mistakes of other managers.
