    Just an observation. If you can't see the connection I can't make you see it.

    Gotta love a website that loves to be somewhat critical of the Twins ownership and front office AND had a headline on its homepage for almost two months AFTER team was no longer attempting to sell declaring the sale of the team to be imminent.

    Turns out YOUR likes and dislikes don't factor in.
  4. dxpavelka
    Or maybe he was the best candidate.
  5. dxpavelka
    Pony up and buy the team.
  6. dxpavelka
    Is he the right choice? Maybe. Maybe not. Do ANY of us on this site know? Absolutely not. Wasn't my first choice but he was THE choice.
  7. dxpavelka
    I've heard of him. He's dead. As for the argument you're trying to make--probably why he got fired nine times.

    MOST championships are won by teams that have a season where a lot of things break their way. However, only one team gets the trophy each yar.

    Exactly why Torii was never the man for the job

    So cute how so many folks think that this is going to eliminate any controversy involving balls and strikes. It might. But not nearly as much of it as folks think. Even with replay we still have dozens if not hundreds of plays over the course of a season that one person sees one way and another person sees another way. This isn't going to change that. I suppose we COULD look at the Virtual Measurement system the NFL has implemented this season with quite a bit of success. Of course the reason for that success is that they just don't SHOW us the close plays. We never know the difference. Just hear that the system has decided. So there we go. We'll just take the games off the television. All games will only be on radio and we'll never see any bad calls.

    Great players tend to NOT be great coaches and / or managers. They worked hard to be great but never really had to scrape for it. Sure there are exceptions but not that many. Wouldn't every team in baseball want Greg Maddux as their pitching coach? Great pitcher. His brother has been a pitching coach at various minor and major league stops for decades. But his brother had to be a scrapper to eek out a big league pitching career.

    Nothing screams Trade Deadline Deal quite like signing a guy who "performed at a league-average rate over two seasons in Milwaukee"
  13. dxpavelka
    Is there somebody out there who will go out of his way to NOT put together a really good coaching staff?
  14. dxpavelka
    Good hitting coaches make good hitting coaches.
  15. dxpavelka
    Hitting coaches and pitching coaches tend to be good at one thing, coaching hitters and / or coaching pitchers. I'll be fine if Rowson is the choice but he's not my first choice.
  16. dxpavelka
    anyone who gets the job and gets paid by the team will be whatever Falvey wants them to be. Kind of how stuff works.
  17. dxpavelka
    As I mentioned above any offer needs to be for a king's ransom. The team making the offer had better be bringing their # 1 prospect (top 10 MLB) their 2nd or 3rd prospect (MLB top 25) and another top 6 prospect (MLB top 100) Most of the teams that would be in the market don't have guys who fit into those criteria. At the end of the day, I'm out.
  18. dxpavelka
    You are wrong on Jenkins. Something DOES need to be said. Just one word. NOW!!!!
  19. dxpavelka
    I'll put Gagne atop that list and ignore any argument any makes to the contrary. Two rings at a premium defensive position IS a thing.
  20. dxpavelka
    Make him available? Sure. Yeah. Whatever. Trade him? Not for anything less than a king's ransom.
  21. dxpavelka
    The last time the Twins hired a manager with big league experience was when they hired Gene Mauch in 1976. And he was most famous for managing an epic collapse a decade previous. Don't hold your breath.
  22. dxpavelka
    Given all this talk about his defense at SS should i worry about the picture of him seems to be throwing the baseball from 2B?
  23. dxpavelka
    annddd????
  24. dxpavelka
    So did we get better last year by trading good players?
  25. dxpavelka
    The benefit is not in trading him but in having better players to replace him. If guys like Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzeles, Mendez or Rosario don't ultimately end up being better than him, whatever incremental improvements they get out of him will prove to be of little consolation. Same goes for Larnach. Larnach is far enough along in his career where he shouldn't be 15th on your team in WAR. Wallner is dangerously close to being in the same boat. Somebody got an oar?
