    How do you envision using relief pitchers over the course of a season while maintaining their (relative) freshness for the end of the season? I.e., will you be routinely using relievers three days in a row, for multiple innings, or having them throw in 70+ games a year? How often will you use the same reliever to face the same hitter multiple times in a series? Will you consider using "swing profile" platoons in addition to the traditional righty/lefty platoons? For example, a hitter who is a good low ball hitter might sit the day they face a starting pitcher with high spin rate efficiency on his four-seam fastball, but would start vs a sinker/slider heavy starting pitcher? What strategies in general will be used to get deeper into the other team's bullpen? How will you improve the team defensively beyond just a focus on the fundamentals? Will there be increased use of different defensive alignments based off the count the batter is in? How will you maintain keeping your bench players fresh while also maintaining cohesion in the lineup?

    That's only because no small market team is trying to win the world series besides the Rays. The Twins, Pirates, Athletics, etc. are not even trying to win the world series and that has been evident for years - that's despite the Twins bringing in $200M+ in revenue each season.

    Hunter stated he wasn't interested.

    Team hitting is generally a reflection of organizational philosophy that is the result of years of drafting/player development, not solely the work of the Major League hitting coach.
  6. Hrbowski
    It will be Shelton or Rowson since the Twins don't have an original thought when it comes to running an organization.

    Somebody's demeanor is not a reason to not offer them a contract when they have as much baseball potential as Lewis. That reeks of the crap organizations pull of trying to dig up things their players said in middle school when they have arbitration hearings so they can paint them as horrible people to try and win their low-ball offers.

    Agreed. Your best asset is your people, analytics are just an insight on how to make them better.

    I was trying to decide between birdwatching and watching the Dodgers/Phillies game this afternoon when I got off work and I decided to go birdwatching. It seemed funner than listening to some boring national media announcers glazing Ohtani for the millionth time...

    Rodriguez has a K% rate in AAA that's as high as Julien's in MLB. I think fans who are riding the E-Rod hype train are going to be sorely disappointed. I would say keep Larnach and trade him mid-season if the rookies have shown they can handle it.

    Kevin Cash, Alex Cora, and Dave Roberts all had no managerial experience and are probably the best managers in baseball. I don't think getting fired by another organization is necessarily a good qualification for getting a new job as an MLB manager. I'm all for hiring a rookie manager if they've shown they can be clubhouse leaders while they were players, since people management is 90% of what a manager does in the modern era.

    Too bad they fired him last year!
  13. Hrbowski
    I don't see how this improves the Twins in the long run as long as the same front office who hired him and dictated to the manager how to use the bullpen, how to construct a lineup, how to position players on the field, and gave him the roster is going to hire the next manager and be their boss. I've always thought that if Rocco goes, the whole front office should go, too.

    Guess I'll just watch birds instead of baseball. Screw MLB and ESPN!

    I don't know Carlos, but I do know people who have been his teammate, and they all said he's the best teammate they have ever had. I think he was THE leader on those Astros and Twins teams he has been on.
  17. Hrbowski
    He has a stomach bug
  18. Hrbowski
    Last year was an incredible season for him, and over the course of a full season he would have been up there with Bobby Witt Jr. I think you need to reconsider your statement. He had two of his best seasons ever with the Twins, changed the clubhouse culture for the better, and was a great mentor to the young players. He had two down seasons where he was plagued by injury, yet Twins fans who love misery will only remember that.
  19. Hrbowski
    I already did
  20. Hrbowski
    I'm pretty sure he traded Meghan, too

    Twins got a 26 YO non-prospect back for Correa who was released by the Giants earlier this year. LMFAO, Falvey is such an idiot
  22. Hrbowski
    Twins get Alan Roden and Kendry Rojas from Jays
  23. Hrbowski
    I fully expect the Pohlads to announce they won't sell the team now that they got out from under the Correa contract
  24. Hrbowski
    Hearing Ryan deal is close to being done SMH
  25. Hrbowski
    Oh please. Correa is super competitive and would not fake being hurt. If he goes back to his old self that's a major indictment of the Twins coaching staff, scouting, and FO, which FYI, are horrible according to the MLB players I know
