  1. Twins bullpen is 21 st in innings pitched. Since fwar is a volume stat, that effects their rank. If they were league median in innings, they'd be right around ninth. Otoh, that would drop the starters just a bit ... I'm shocked, pleasantly, at how Castro has remained so valuable. Imagine this team with Lewis and CC always healthy. As for me, I have always believed in Jeffers, and was shocked at the projections....
  2. A million times this. Plus they are terrified of injuries, and believe blowing games to have worse players up, so they have depth, is somehow better ...
  3. Ya outside a few great RPs, from what I read, results are somewhat variable year to year..... It's why it's great to trade them at the deadline if you are out of it
  4. This obsession with having mediocre veterans up so they have good depth in the minors..... Jackson isn't at good as two guys in AAA, but they really prefer depth over quality. Cost them today.
  5. They eliminated a level of ball, and more guys are in AAA that would be at lower levels. I think fangraphs had something on this a couple weeks ago.
  6. The sooner he's off the roster, the sooner he can't take at bats from someone. I am truly amazed it's this bad. I had low expectations, but not like this. Truly stunned.
  7. Who the F said profit doesn't matter? Not me. I said that given every sports team in the US sells for big gains, every one of them, it is unlikely any of them lose money, or, as you point out, they wouldn't sell for big gains.
  8. Given sports teams always sell for massive gains, they aren't losing money. Unless they are the only major US sports team ever to do so.
  9. Fair. We disagree on whether that comment is appropriate or not. I think it isn't appropriate, ever, in a work place. Ever.
  10. I read the comment from someone else, that's what I responded to, this part of the article: “Meka will rock a dress and some Jordans and be able to sell water to a whale,” says Nicole Jeter West, CEO of brand agency Underdog Ventures. “And she can get away with it,” adds Twins CEO Dave St. Peter, “because she rocks them so well.” Read that last line.....
  11. DSP awkward and inappropriate about women? Shocker. I hadn't read that, but predicted it was part of why she left. Twins are stuck decades back in terms of business....
  12. I assume it was painful to be me, but thanks! As bad as quality start is, it tells us more than the win stat....
  13. Given how polanco is playing, it's a good trade right now ... Happy they promoted someone this early in the year, I'd like to see more....
  14. Good stuff, Nick. I expect them to somehow cut payroll again next year. They aren't particularly good at PR and marketing, and haven't been for some time. That's a leadership issue, and leadership hasn't really changed.... So I think we know where the problems lie. And no, they aren't losing money. No major sports team goes bankrupt, no team goes down in value.
  15. They just won twelve in a row and have twenty wins and thirteen losses, without their best hitter all year ...
