    If I were Pohald or St Peter, I would.....probably not fire anyone.

    Pretty good list. Maybe some overlap betwee points and other quibbles, but generally I agree as they are listed. But keep in mind, as it relates to Meyer, all the hype and all the things Ryan and the national press said about Meyer when the Twins acquired him. He was going to move quickly and hopefully be that ace. The gravest mistakes in my opinion were passing him over for a promotion in 2014 in favor of the Kris Johnson types, and the refusal to even consider pitching him out of the bullpen until he had already flopped as a starter. Same mistake they are perhaps making with Berrios. Absolutely no consideration using Berrios from the bullpen in the stretch run last season, for example. And then Molitor's non-use of Meyer this season.

    Anybody fired yet?
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not sure if anyone is trying to change your mind. I would love to see that list, however.

    "The Twins handled Meyer correctly" seems like a really odd position to take. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I thought they closed those after the 9th inning?

    No costume parties tonight?

    Why pay money when you can watch it, over and over, for free? If you remember, Molitor pulled Rosario out of the game the next half inning after this play. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v710269083/detmin-rosario-swipes-third-in-the-7th/?game_pk=447467 The title of the page "Rosario's heads-up base running" might be a little misleading if you believe like Molitor does that Rosario was wrong to take the extra base they were giving him.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    On the other hand, lots of commenters do provide data about that and offer the successes.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Molitor was a roving minor league instructor for almost a decade.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Rosario is extremely talented but young and still learning what is possible at the major league level.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great article. Looks like Rosario was trying to do too much on that play, so I'm not sure what Molitor's problem is. I thought Molitor said would rather pull a guy back from being too aggressive than have to get a guy stirred up. I doubt Rosario will ever be a great hitter but not everyone in the lineup needs to be a great hitter. He is good in the field. I hadn't checked on his UZR and didn't realize it was that high.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You are right-- It reminded me of all the Gatorade baths back to 2013. It was usually Plouffe and Arcia dumping the bucket on Dozier.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It could work, and Mauer's mini-resurgence perhaps has coincided with taking more days off, so there's more playing time for others. If Sano was hitting better in this time share arrangement I might feel better about it. I'm ready to jump off the deep end with Sano at 3B full time and give him a lot of rope. If at some point they decide it's not working, you pick up a guy like Plouffe in FA or trade or try Polanco or a minor league guy might be ready.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ted, do you know the family personally? In that case I can certainly understand this being a little bittersweet for you and/or other folks who have really gotten to know him and like him over the years.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Good question. With Plouffe's poor season, it would be hard to imagine him winning an arbitration ruling.
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Surely you realize that Brooksie's defensive metrics are better than Plouffsie's, right?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    ?? Are you saying Antony was offered Trout for Buxton? I'm not sure I would make the trade for those pitchers anyway. Better to develop your own draft picks, as you implied by mentioning Sanchez.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    As was pointed out in the article, he traded Syndergaard.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think this is the org you meant to link to. http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/winners.html

    MLBTR quote from back on August 31: "The long balls that the hulking slugger drove during BP didn’t quite continue when he faced live pitching, scouts noted to Davidoff — who says the scene actually became a bit awkward as it unfolded."
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I feel like he would trade Buxton or Sano, though.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What would people think about when after St. Peter announces the hire of the President of Baseball Operations, that right afterward Antony will be announced as the interim GM for another season--not interested in how anybody feels about such a move, but what the possibility of it might be. Do bosses like a new POBO make big firings right away, if they are from the outside? Do they bring teams of executives with them? Would the Twins hire a guy who would bring his own team with him?
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We do, but we have to play him in center field.
