that was shocking! In the moment, I'd rather have wins. But, 6-7 wins is terrible for draft position, and tricks a bad team into thinking they are "this close" to being good, when they really aren't.
-
For that reason, I'm not watching college sports this year.
-
Bad to trade for however you spell his name in the first place....but right move to trade him now. I would be bummed if they deal Hunter! He's young enough to be around for a long time.
-
They will have 3 good years, and 4 bad years with Zimmer at the helm. That is completely unacceptable, given the assets the Wilfs have given him and Spielman. They have to go.

PFF says Dru Samia is on pace to be the worst OL in 15 years........holy heck.

Re-Load vs. Re-Tool vs. Re-Build for 2021
Mike Sixel replied to Vanimal46's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Frustrating end of the year for sure, and I don't think this FO is perfect....but this was one of the best teams in the league....... I would cut bait on Rosario....Kiriloff and others can do about what he did for a lot less money (which at some point they need). I'm not sure what to do about Polanco. I'd keep Kepler (Buxton is hurt a lot, you need Kepler as the RF and backup CF, imo). I just feel like things didn't work for some reason in the playoffs, but they weren't far from being a great team...... Maybe one more pitcher...and a better bullpen..... -
If there is a guy think is a franchise QB available, you take him. No matter what. 4-6 wins, that's my guess. I 100% want them to put someone else in charge of picking OL....hell, put Eric or Nick in charge...can't be worse.
-
Any optimistic view looks naive at this point. Somehow they are worse than I expected..... Zimmer is proving he's no genius. He succeeded because they drafted CB early, and kept doing it. Somehow they thought they could get away with losing way too many veteran DBs.... And the oline stinks, probably because they can't draft OGs to save their lives, well, they refuse to....
-
Total pay to players dropped each of the last two years.....before this year. It may or may not make business sense, but if you were the players, how would you react to that, given the owners have seen revenues increase for at least 17 straight years?
-
I've read plenty of articles written online about this........not all of them agree with your numbers...... player compensation as a percent of revenue (reported revenue, not from related business that only make money by doing MLB related things, but we'll ignore that).....is dropping the last decade. Comparing it to other businesses makes no sense.......comparing it to the cost of living makes no sense...they are in the baseball business.
-
Not anymore than anyone else. Are you suggesting everyone everywhere take a pay cut? Did you voluntarily take a pay cut?
-
If you think players should give up contractual money when things are bad, do you think owners should pay more than contracts call for when things are better than expected?
-
thanks, man, the initial reporting was way off.....or something.
-
I'll take that bet. People don't buy long term assets based on the next year or two........look at the stock market.....
-
The new contract is for 1 billion a year.....not 470 unless all the Tweets were incorrect......
-
No. I went to a winery on Saturday......no one followed the distancing rules that were set up. I can't imagine anyone would at a MLB game either. At some point, I'll have to get out and do more things, because life. But I'm not currently at a point where I am going to put myself into that position for 3 hours......

Here you go.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/players-ask-owners-how-much-baseball-they-want/
-
The owners just signed a deal for 22 million more per year per team, starting next year. Will they give that unanticipated income to the players? Of course not. The risk of ownership is that sometimes you don't make as much money as you want....... The Royals just sold for a billion dollars, does anyone not think MLB is incredibly profitable?
-
Of course, if you read the details on Fangraphs, the players have moved over the last month, and the owners have not..... The owners just got 22 million a year more....will they give any of that to players? Of course not.
-
Each owner, each and every one, gets 22 million more per year under a new deal with TBS.... But sure, teams just aren't profitable..... Why are they asking for more money during this time? Shouldn't they be giving money back?
-
This is quite true, imo. We could be looking at 2022 before things are close to normal for big events like this.

Good stuff for sure! -
So, only agree with what the team does?
