    I think Harmon was probably the best to ever wear a Twins uniform, but Kirby had the greatest impact.

    Prospects?? We're talkin' 'bout Prospects??!?

    Nobody has said chemistry doesn't matter? Or said chemistry only flows from winning and/or losing, and in no case the other way around? Reread the thread, Mike. What nobody has said is that talent doesn't matter, or matter more than chemistry. You can't take a bunch of AAAA players and win a pennant because they get along well together. On that we agree. The question is, does cohesiveness and chemistry, and working together toward a common goal get more from a given amount of talent than from the same group who aren't willing to put the team first? Do leaders on a team have an influence on how hard people work, how willing they are to set aside personal goals in favor of group goals, how willing they are to accept roles they didn't envision for themselves? And there are plenty of people in this thread who have posited that it doesn't matter. I disagree. So does at least one executive from a highly successful team, who also happens to be a forerunner of modern analytics.

    https://www.americaninno.com/boston/bill-james-red-sox-value-intangibles-and-clubhouse-chemistry/ It appears the idea that "chemistry" isn't important isn't a universally held viewpoint, at least not for Bill James and the Red Sox.

    He was worth more in the Twins lineup over the last two months, even at a remote chance of catching Cleveland, than the org filler they received in return.

    The clubhouse was a mess, and you don't think the manager bears ANY responsibility for that? He's "the manager."
  8. USAFChief
    Good for him.
  9. USAFChief
    Perhaps you could provide one for us.
  10. USAFChief
    I think it probably reflects more on Darren Wolfson.
  11. USAFChief
    Our definition of impact differs. Walks and soft singles to left are by definition rarely impactful.

    I can’t wait for Mauer to be gone. I wish he had been part of the purge. He hasn’t been an impact player since 09.
  14. USAFChief
    Twins best player over the past half decade. And give me the guy who wants in the lineup every day, every time. Sorry to see him go. He will be very difficult to replace.
  15. USAFChief
    Not everyone.
  16. USAFChief
    heh... this is the exact OPPOSITE of whining.
  17. USAFChief
    Not to worry. On the TD Hall of Infamy Fame, you’re not on the first page. You’re not on the first hundred pages.

    Well, since you all have given up: DNA stands for "National Dyslexic Association."

    It was the 7th, no? Why NOT Reed? Or May?
  20. USAFChief
    Pressly would have been a good choice for that inning.
  21. USAFChief
    Actually, I want to hear the reason for Matt Belisle.
  22. USAFChief
    I want to hear the reasoning for Matt Belisle against the top of the order in a 3-2 game.
  23. USAFChief
    I don't often complain about balls and strikes but Bucknor is bad.
  24. USAFChief
    ha. incorrect, but probably better than my answer.
  25. USAFChief
    ish.
