    2 months is not small sample size? Every pitch is a pitcher closer to injury and ineffectiveness. Other teams are realizing this is a young man's pitching game. I'd like to see the Twins do that. Wanted Rogers up last year, didn't do it. So far, he's been effective this year, maybe they win a game or so more with him up last year, even though he didn't have experience yet. I'll keep typing it, in a lost year, you need to gather data on your young players, so you know which you want to keep with more certainty. That data, as we've seen, is best gathered at the MLB level, not in the minors.

    There don't appear to be many TR supporters on this thread, saying they pretty much want TR, or someone like him. I think those that want him gone are just talking to each other on this thread, and most of what is interesting to say has already been said. Basically, I want a leader that knows that the world changes, and that to stay on top you need to innovate and either change with the times, or ahead of them. One that knows that it isn't good to have pretty much only people that grew up in your company in leadership positions, that you need to bring in outside ways of thinking and doing from time to time. One that communicates well to employees, and has a clear plan for them to execute. I could go on and on, but what I want is a modern executive, that knows about baseball. There are dozens of pages on the internet about leadership and strategy and innovation. I want a leader that embraces much of those ideals.

    Plug a hole or three with FAs, not build the team out of free agents. 80% of the SP were FA or a guy they got for Sam Fuld........Also, it isn't their job to sign FAs, it is their job to sign the right FAs more than they sign the bad FAs. It isn't just process that matters......

    Why does he need 400 ABs in AAA?
  5. Mike Sixel
    I like it when the Twins win. Just more fun all around.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Awesome. Thanks
  7. Mike Sixel
    I take it OF defense might matter some today?

    note, this is sarcasm can't believe Molly left him in taht long. Geeze he sucks. note, this is not sarcasm: I keep thinking Duffey will somehow show last year was real....

    jinx

    Winner......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed......this is going to sound harsh, but Sano is the only one I'm confident is a good player 1-2 years from now, of the nine of them. I'm pretty sure Park is.....but not real sure.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Kris Bryant was an adult, college student. I am told we should judge their maturity differently than a young man like Sano. Putting that aside......Do people think the position change is effecting him, our not? I do.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If....yes. But we are off topic....the rotation is awful, and it is made up of free agents and a traded for guy. The issues here go beyond an inability to draft and develop.

    I love wine. I need to cut back on the beer, and add more wine
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.....But so far, it is not good, for many reasons. They would rather he be a reliever apparently. I tend to judge outsole on actions, not words.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Good luck.

    It is amazing how bad it is. And, this is on Ryan. The GM makes the calls on free agents and trades. I remain confused how people can look at this, and the trades for Meyer and May, and think this GM is the one to lead them to the promised land.

    I think a lot of athletes seem awfully insecure.......remember Lebron asking for a video of dunk to be taken down? I am not sure I understand it, really. As for Bremer, he did nothing wrong, imo, in mentioning this. It's part of the story of the season. It's his job to tell that story. The fact that they clubhouse can't handle mild criticism of the worst team in baseball says a lot about the clubhouse/player.

    If Milone is a MLB average pitcher, why did no one claim him? I don't get it.....but they didn't. So, either every team but a handful (who have 5 SPs) are wrong, or we are.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I thought Ryan said he never entertained offers for Plouffe, not that they got no good offers. That said, 3B were cheap this off season...... I agree, other than Abad (who would have guessed), and Santana (not Danny), I don't see any viable trade candidates on this roster (though if Gibson comes back and is good, he is, but I would not deal him).
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree, Japan seems likely. But, are we SURE that if Park continues to be bad, they don't send him down?
  22. Mike Sixel
    They have to promote one of the guys from FtM.....but apparently it is against the rules to do so.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd cut Nolasco, and call up Milone. I am not in the clubhouse, but does anyone think Nolasco is helping with the culture? He isn't helping on the field........ If Berrios or Meyer could pitch, I'd want them up instead, but that appears a ways off.......and all of the other great prospects are in A ball still......
  24. Mike Sixel
    They will want Park there. But I have no idea.
