"“Probably more than ever,” Ryan said of his talks with Pohlad.
"Some people are calling it panic. I get that, OK. We’re in a mode here where I better be creative enough to do some things to help along the cause. We’re struggling to a point where we haven’t been able to right it. So I’m going to have to do some things.”
I don't know if I would have called it "panic". I'm more of the mind that:
Last year was a mirage.
The remains of this team from the Metrodome days benefited a lot from that environment.
The star prospects from the Minor leagues were probably overrated by us fans.
The fact that Ryan says ownership is concerned is something I don't remember ever hearing before. This following the Pohlad's "System wide failure" comment make me think that bigger changes are in the near future.
Terry Ryan and crew have been successful in the past. Post-Metrodome, that is rapidly becoming the distant past. Time to thank Ryan and company for their service to the Twins and the 2 World Series wins, but it's time to move forward with a fresh approach.
