  1. I just wish Bonnes would participate more on the site he owns, well written.
  2. Players were taught a lot of things that were wrong. This might or might not be
  3. Sure, was just giving my opinion on what I want, which should be your main goal.....
  4. Agreed. The percent of HS pitchers that are even decent is tiny. Truly infinitesimal. Great trade.
  5. All the reports indicate they were basically demoting her, and that they wouldn't let her fire some old skewl guys.... So no real surprise she moved on. Not extending her after she fixed the team is insulting, let alone the rest
  6. There's no evidence experience is the issue. It's a tiny sample, and fans need an explanation for some reason.
  7. Wallner didn't even play one third of the games in LF, and put up 1.5fwar as a left fielder. Multiply that by three and he's the second best LF in the game. Assuming he's not at good still puts him in the top ten . I doubt it's the FO that isn't understanding his value. Top decision is replacing Gray and what to do in CF. Everything else is gravy.
  8. I'm a lot more interested in this for prospects. I was just thing about this. I also would like some kind of ranking page, with links to individual stuff. Somehow summarize national rankings, staff rankings, and votes by us. But really, links to info about them all would be great.
  9. I don't think "everyone knows" that Kepler is on the trade block. He wasn't last year, and he was better this year. I have no idea about the others, but I'm betting they keep Polanco also.
  10. probably, and that is a nitpick, sure, but I'd rather have him than Buxton, which was the conversation.
  11. They have permission to talk... Thad Levine joined the Twins as General Manager, second in command to President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey, in 2016. During his tenure in Minnesota, Levine has helped the Twins win three division championships in seven seasons, alongside one Wild Card appearance in 2017. Levine was born (Virginia) and raised (went to Haverford College in Pennsylvania) so a move to Boston would bring him closer to his roots. It has long been speculated that Levine wants a shot at the big chair for a MLB team and after the departure of Chaim Bloom, the Red Sox may come calling. View full rumor

  13. and pinch hit.
  14. Well then, there goes Levine (maybe). They have permission to talk.
  15. I'm certain of this (as an opinion), but that could just be my thoughts given their deference to Gallo for so long, and sending down Wallner and Julien during the year.....
  16. I actually wanted Gallo over Buxton there also. And ya, I don't get not having Funderburk there either.
  17. As a fan, it's hard for me to totally be objective at times, I hated the Ryan move, but this helps me understand it somewhat.
  18. I don't like their chances this week, but if they can win this, everything changes for their outlook, IMO.
  19. Fangraphs is rating how well managers did in the playoffs. Other than 1-2 moves, they liked what Rocco did this year.....having only 1 lefty in the bullpen was NOT IDEAL. Anyway, one outsider's opinion. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/alds-managerial-report-card-rocco-baldelli/
  20. I have no idea what sime of that post has to do with Lee.... All I'm asking is that they play him where they want him playing, not at short because he can always move. Because they don't want him at short any time soon.
  21. I don't think people understand how good Wallner was compared to other LFers..... If he plays as many games in left as a full time starter, he's a top five LF..... Before you disagree, make sure to look at the stats and number of games started in left....
  22. If they won't even consider Royce anywhere but third, where do they plan to play Lee? Because they should have him paying his future position, not one he'll rarely if ever play ... Please, play him where you want him in the majors.
