    Getting rid of Donaldson was worth a lot...and I'm not talking about his contract. He was no leader for the younger guys to emulate.
  2. tarheeltwinsfan
    I would add Jax to your list of untouchables. I feel he can become a quality starter.

    Will David Festa be at Twinsfesta?

    See ball...hit ball.

    Most players do not stop improving once they make the major leagues. It is a mistake to base this decision on a rookie pitcher's struggles his first time in the majors. Jax has become an outstanding pitcher. The best on the Twins this year. I am confident he is up for the challenge. He is a tough, healthy, competitive, military veteran from a tough competitive family of achievers.

    Point proven succinctly.

    I am all for moving Jax to a starter. Yes, he is a valuable reliever. But there is a reason that every MLB baseball team pays starting pitchers more that relievers.

    Should Santana be considered for the Platinum Glove Award? He was outstanding.

    The above article convinced me that the Twins should sign Trevor Bauer and trade our Minnesota nice players (like Pablo Lopez) for Manny Machado or Bryce Harper? That would be a lot of energy. Then fire Rocco and bring Ozzie Guillen to manage the team. Fire Cory P. and hire Hawk Harrelson for the new play by play tv guy. And the new owner could be .... whoops, we should avoid politicians in this website.

    Please no !

    I needed this optimistic article on this Monday as the baseball playoffs continue without the Twins.

    My point is, if the franchise is sold, there is no guarantee that it will remain in Minnesota. However I don't want to argue that the Twins will move at all. Just saying it is a possibility. I will just drop his subject for now and we'll all have to see how this plays out. Friends?

    Don Beaver, who lives in North Carolina.

    I don't recall that election and I have lived in North Carolina for the last 75 years. The Charlotte Knights stadium was built with future expansion in mind and was built downtown and is next to the Panthers' stadium for parking and restaurants and traffic flow. As far as Don not having the money, you must know more about my friend's, finances than I do.

    Don Beaver lives in North Carolina.

    Exactly. Charlotte has been wanting a major league franchise for years. Don Beaver from North Carolina was a ready, willing and able potential buyer of the Twins 25 years ago. He now owns the Charlotte Knights, the Hickory Crawdads, the New Orleans Zephyrs and is a minority owner of the Pittsburg Pirates. Don pitched in the Little League World Series when he was a boy. He lives in Hickory, NC, 30 minutes from my home.

    Richie, Thanks for providing the fascinating Harvard article, which says that MLB teams on a lower budget, should allocate their budget more evenly among the players and not sign an individual player who has to be paid 27 per cent of the annual salary allocation. However, I sure do like watching Correa play short stop.

    I am cheering for a Twins rival in the AL Central, the Chicago team.......oh wait, the record setting White Sox are not in the playoffs. As the obnoxious Hawk used to say: "They gone!"
  20. tarheeltwinsfan
    Jax is the best choice here. Question: If Jax wants to start, should the Twins give him that opportunity?
  21. tarheeltwinsfan
    "Fatigue", or lack of energy, can be contagious in any endeavor.

    I have never agreed with Gardy's famous quotes, that it is a long season. It is not. It is a short season because the games are played one game at a time. No matter whether it is April, July or September, the most important game is the one game today.
  23. tarheeltwinsfan
    Adrenalin gives energy bursts when needed. The Twins lacked adrenalin.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Agree 100%.

    What is the least important position among the 10 players who are "in the game" on a baseball field? Is it starting pitcher? Shortstop? Catcher? Hitter batting 3rd or leadoff? Closer? Or is is "long reliever"? In this award, called "Most Improved", I submit that the position played, does not matter. However if it did, I would not chose a long reliever for any awards, except "The Best Long Reliever Award". As far as the "2024 Most Improved Award" I would have selected Buck, because he had the most improvement of his WAR. He went from 0.8 to 3.6...the largest improvement by far among all Twins players from 2023 to 2024.
