The Real Cheap Seats

How on earth can you judge and criticize the 2015 Twins roster when their 2014 August trades haven't even been completed yet? Let alone had their ENTIRE 2014-2015 off-season to address the roster holes and spend the $20 million or so they'll have to spend on the roster?

I'm not sure that too many people are going to disagree with your overall statement that it's time to let Anderson move on. But your choice of evidence is baffling. Diamond is AAA filler who smoke and mirrored his way through a halfway decent season (which stands out as better than it really was because of an atrocious pitching staff that year.) He threw one good AAA game against his former team, after being downright awful all year, on a staff that Anderson had no control over or input on. There's many arguments to be made against Anderson. This just isn't one of them. I don't think anyone is defending his employment status, they're just defending him against this particular fallacious argument, which is one of my favorite things about this community. Many, many opinions, some sound and some absurd, but reason tends to win throughout the discussions. And this just isn't all that reasonable.
