    I doubt very many KC fans consider that trade a mistake. They havent played past the regular season in 30years. They got to follow a team in contention, playing games that mattered, all season. Tbey might get more. The trade worked, no matter what Myers does in the future.

    If LA trades Kemp it will be to dump salary, so a team willing to take on Kemp's entire contract could probably get him for almost nothing. No team is going to both take on the salary AND give up real prospects. Same for Crawford. Do it.

    At the least, it's pretty tone deaf. At the worst, we have circumstantial proof of rumors he's not happy in flyover land.

    1. Gardenhire is completely gone from the organization. No hanging around the team, casting a shadow over the new staff. 2. The hire comes from outside the organization. Young-ish, open to new ideas, major or minor league managerial experience. 3. The new hire is allowed to fill out his own staff. If he wants to retain any of the current coaches, great. If not, also great. But it's his choice.

    ...is that it is year (s) too late.

    Dave Martinez would be my preferred candidate. It absolutely has to be from outside the organization. If not, it will be viewed as more of the same....probably because it will be.

    Not surprised. 1. They are going to have enough trouble selling tix this winter as it is without trying to sell "same old, same old. Nobody ever loses their job with the Twins!" 2. He deserved to be fired. 3. He wasn't going to get another contract after 2015, so what's the point of bringing him back for 2014? 4. It doesn't take nostradamus to see how this would have played out in 2015 if they retained him and they stumble out of the gate. He would have been a dead man walking and they would have been forced to fire him in-season. They had no choice.

    Baltimore employed, among others, Nelson Cruz and Delmon Young in LF. And yet they gave up 180 fewer runs. The Twins OF defense seemed to be just fine on the days Phil Hughes was pitching.

    I think it's basically impossible to predict anything about anything in baseball for the next " 5-6 years." Heck, it's difficult to predict next year.

    We should know within a couple days if Gardy will be the 2015 manager. What's your call?
  11. USAFChief
    KC. The playoffs may be short for me.
  12. USAFChief
    I think you install Santana at SS and never look back. But what really bothers me is the manager having no clue what he thinks is best for the organization. "Play it by ear in spring training"? Isn't that just another example of the lack of foresight too often displayed?
  13. USAFChief
    I just can't buy defense being the reason the Twins gave up 180 more runs. Particularly when most everyone agrees the infield defense was reasonably competent.
  14. USAFChief
    Runs allowed: Bal: 593 Min: 777 Maybe FIP ain't all that.
  15. USAFChief
    You're about 5.9 months too late.
  16. USAFChief
    And we'll see you...next spring!
  17. USAFChief
    Great. Thanks a lot. No more score updates, please. I'm recording.

    "That's why they all love him."
  19. USAFChief
    The Rob Lowe Dtv/cable ads just don't come off. Good idea, poor execution.
  20. USAFChief
    Possibly. Depends, actually.
  21. USAFChief
    crap.
  22. USAFChief
    I was kinda hopin' just the opposite.
  23. USAFChief
    "That's why they hate him." -Chief, in his recliner.
  24. USAFChief
    BTW...no Gopher-Michigan scores please...I'm recording it.
