Obviously there's a lot of speculation here, but according to this the complaints about the Twins giving up all their good players may have some basis. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-the-mlb-standings-would-look-if-teams-stuck-with-whoever-they-drafted/
I was going to point out that I was the first to change my location to "Proxima Centauri b or bust" (before Craig did), but then I noticed I actually put "Proxima b or bust" so I guess I lose on a technicality. Fixed now. Edit: I still win. The "b" is properly lower case.
I liked that show so much I used to record it to watch it later in case I missed it. Now the only TV show I watch is Twins baseball. When I can stand to do that.
When I logged on this thread was already on page 13. And the game hasn't started yet!? After a 13-game losing streak!? I've gotta read it all just to see what's up.
I probably shouldn't post this but I will anyway. I think the women would be "mountees" as contrasted with "mounters". (If this is deleted by a mod and I get a warning point I accept.)
I disagree with this. I think Pohlad's remarks about total system failure were exactly what he thought. With that in mind he and St. Peter have done exactly what they should have done in seeking expert advice on this matter and working to create a new system. They have now taken the first step by restructuring the top levels of operation of the baseball side of the organization and have proceeded to the next step by identifying candidates to fill the top position there. Once the POBO is in place I think s/he will have a lot of freedom to decide how the middle and lower levels of baseball management will be structured and who will be chosen to fill those roles. I wouldn't describe myself as enthusiastic about this but more reassured that a thorough, proper approach to solving the problem appears to have been put in place.
