  1. And there were people here arguing that Twins shouldn't make a change in GM.....those drafts are awful, and many were criticized at the time, not just in hindsight. That level of futility defies odds for picks that high (that many of them). Whatever we said on the board is not relevant, we aren't paid GMs with reams of data and employees helping us.....
  2. Your lack of empathy for the people that actually do the work makes me sad.
  3. Yikes. I guess we'll just 100% disagree on that one.
  4. Good points! Manfred saying revenue has been tough the last five years......in 2019, revenues went up for the 17th straight year.....and, lest we forget, they didn't pay the players full salaries in 2020.....and revenues are rising much faster than player pay.
  5. the owners have locked out the players. Let no one call this a strike, please. They could be playing ball, if the owners wanted to.
  6. 100% yes. Odds are that a player doesn't even make the majors, let alone be REALLY good for a year or two and a legit MLB most other years. Yes. Did he meet our hopes? No, not yet. But I still think he can.
  7. Let's just say it's been ugly! But I bought a ton of Nvidia last week.....I made a play on a penny stock that, well, it's bad. But, oh, well.
  8. The logical ranking for him. I think he'll be the starting LF for years, but I can see trying him at SS more....
  9. There's virtually no good pitching in the AFL. Lewis hatd done very little at the plate at a high level. He's got great athleticism, but anyone that is sure he'll hit is basing that off hope more than data. I think he hadt a shot to be great, but I can't ignore the downside risk when thinking about his future.
  10. So you'd rather have a worse shortstop, and have the pohlads pocket the money? Because they aren't spending it on pitching. They've prevent that. What other position is so barren they need to spend?
  11. If the pitchers aren't legit good starters, that's bad? Like, being a number 2-3 is bad? I don't think we see things the same way at all. I'd be THRILLED if the Twins have 2 number 3s. Thrilled.
  12. Who is still a good player.....and legit starting 3B. Fans should be happy if Miranda is a legit good starter.
  13. You just compared him to Donaldson, and said ranking him 3rd best prospect is high..... If he's an average defender with that bat, he's a 2.5-3.5 WAR players. That would be great.
  14. There is no reason for him to be in AA next year. None.
  15. I was never a fan of the pick....I wanted a pitcher, wavering between Greene and I think the guy Tampa picked (who so far doesn't look like a good pick). I continue to hope I was wrong.....He certainly has been hurt by circumstance a lot.....but, well, we'll see I guess.
  16. Mrs. Maisel picking up right where it left off....great show.
  17. They're literally arguing that young guys that make up over fifty percent of playing time get a lot more money. How is that shameful on the older players, exactly? The fight is about young players..... Seriously.
  18. I don't know what the right answer is, but I'm pretty sure I'd have him in MN as a RP this year.....
  19. Hunter Greene dominated last year. I'm not worried.
  20. I don't know if this is the right pitcher, but taking a guy like this high is the right move, imo. Good luck to him!
  21. Big fan! I expect him in the majors this year, unless there is an injury issue.
  22. I'm not sure what "matters" means....but there is a huge correlation between national rankings and outcomes.
  23. Zero people said age is the main factor in rating. Some people said it didn't matter at all.... And got pushback.
