    From KLAW chat today: Nathan: What else will the new Twins’ GM need to do to right the ship? As a fan, I’m frustrated with the talent failing to develop and I’m wondering where the issue lies and what needs to be done to fix it. But getting a new GM is at least a start if they can hire the right one for the job and not Ryan 2.0 Klaw: They need to build an internal analytics department, first and foremost. You can’t operate in MLB right now unless you have that, if only for competitive intelligence purposes. I also have real questions about the MLB coaching staff, and the owner’s statement that Molitor is the manager next year would really concern me if I were a Twins fan. It’s a great job for someone – good market, great city, fantastic stadium, solid farm system, strong amateur scouting dept – but not if it comes with shackles Ralph: From this year’s draft, who do you see having bigger upside, Josh Lowe or Alex Kiriloff? Klaw: Kiriloff, although I understand why some people would argue Lowe

    Those aren't predictions, "Just for the fun of it, let’s wildly speculate on where the biggest name guys might go before August 1st. Keep in mind that no one really knows what is going to happen, so this is more of an exercise in frivolity than a serious attempt at forecasting the deadline moves. Let’s see how many wild guesses I can get right."

    Most of the time the internet makes this easy for us...... Ya, yesterday didn't help any.

    The argument being made is that this team isn't a good idea for a good candidate.....you raise a 100% different argument.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to a position that isn't open right now? Why would you wait?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I agree with MLR.....any* GM position is a good GM position. *unless the owner is crazy odd / hands on.....are there any like that in MLB? the Angels? Miami?

    Well, if you go to Fangraphs....you can click on active roster.... The Twins are: 19th in WAR 27th in ERA Among AL teams: 10th in WAR Last in ERA So, ya, I don't think this is a winning staff.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Trump is going to win, imo. People want empty promises, not complex answers.....

    Fangraphs (I dropped the ABs down to 200 to add more players) Mauer: 7th (Park is number 1 in UZR/150) Dozier: 31st of 35..... Nunez: 21 (at SS) Escobar: 26 Plouffe: 37 of 40 (Valencia is last, btw) Suzuki: 35 of 54 Kepler: 31 of 41 (that's a bit surprising) Buxton: 25 of 43 Santana: (CF) 31 of 43 Rosario: 17 Grossman: 37 of 43 I know everyone will say this is BUNK because of the Buxton rating.....but there are a lot of things that go into the DEF scores, and he scores pretty much median in every part of the score. I expect that to improve over time. So, ya, the defense isn't good....

    not sure what "pull an Alex Meyer" means..... 1.1 innings, 2 ER
  11. Mike Sixel
    why is boshers in MN, and not Chargois?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd be shocked if they don't lose multiple first round picks, pay a huge fine, and lost international signing money.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    It's still time......another day, How was Boshers last night?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I seriously believe that the Trumps believe the things they said last night, and are some odd mix of old school moderate Republican and protectionist xenophobe.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Assuming you mean a massacre, everyone....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Game starts....post count drops.....me? I am tasting beer. Just logged my 599th unique beer....
