    So you're telling me that AFTER they blew up their bullpen there were still 10 teams worse than them? As I've maintained, a bullpen should be the easiest part of a team to rebuild. Many teams rebuild at least half their bullpen every off-season. The sky might NOT be falling.

    Good for you. But then nobody would point out the hypocrisy,

    Don't get me wrong. I'd love a firebrand like Billy. When's the last time you saw one managing a big league ball club? Bruce Bochy & Terry Francona and MAYBE Dusty Baker are the closest we've seen in the last couple decades. I suppose you could put TK and Gardy near that level but not really. Sadly those guys have gone the way of the 9 inning complete game pitcher and the 40 games started pitcher. The game is not better for it.

    Interesting that finally, after months, a team that fired a manager, hired a manager, has made dozens of player transactions AFTER trading almost a dozen players, has witnessed the debut of two highly regarded starting pitching prospects, has seen both have both good and poor results, has seen the debut of multiple other newly acquired prospects at various minor league levels finally has some notes--YESTERDAY. Ancient history updated. Guess maybe after all the articles about "The Twins Way" maybe someone just needed to point out similar issues in "The TD Way." Happy to help. Totally understand the hubris bit. Try to do my part to contribute to it when I can.

    common sense
  6. dxpavelka
    Careful. You almost sound positive.
  7. dxpavelka
    And you'd likely do no better than the current folks
  8. dxpavelka
    and since the likes of you insist that nobody would take the job sounds like a good hire

    Not really whining about TD. Just pointing out how they, in their field, are really not that much different than Twins management and FO.
  10. dxpavelka
    or someone is lazy

    I can see leaving it on there for a month. Maybe. But two? I questioned competence every time I saw it there. Just thought it was ironic.
  12. dxpavelka
    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.
  15. dxpavelka
    Or maybe he was the best candidate.
  16. dxpavelka
    Pony up and buy the team.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. dxpavelka
    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.
  20. dxpavelka
    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"
  24. dxpavelka
    Is there somebody out there who will go out of his way to NOT put together a really good coaching staff?
  25. dxpavelka
    Good hitting coaches make good hitting coaches.
