    I think HS is a better "human element" story, as we get to watch the players grow both professionally and as people. If you're into that part of the MLB storyline, it adds great depth.
  2. Shaitan
    That's pretty much Manfred's long-term plan, isn't it?
  3. Shaitan
    I get what you're going for...but those mid '80s clubhouses led by Hrbek/Gaetti weren't exactly clean living either.
  4. Shaitan
    I love looking back at rookie stat lines. In an impatient era, it's easy to imagine the Twins moving on from Dozier at this point.

    Duffey wasn't an effective firefighter in the playoffs. He needs to rebuild my trust.

    I wouldn't put Lohse in the "big trade" category. That was a clubhouse chemistry issue. But I agree with the general statement about big trades often not delivering as advertised.
  7. Shaitan
    Pedro Florimon Adam Everett Mike Lamb
  8. Shaitan
    How did a team with some of those names finish as high as second place. Credit to Gardie and a poor division, I suppose.
  9. Shaitan
    I was so hopeful of a long-term Santana/Liriano/Garza top 3. A few years later, all three were gone or different (post-TJ) pitchers.

    I feel this article is missing a key scene from Naked Gun about spitting.
  11. Shaitan
    But that meltdown in Anaheim. I actually skipped that paragraph here. Still can't read it.
  12. Shaitan
    When did AJ copyright his name?
  13. Shaitan
    Meh. "Star power" is about marketing, not baseball. I'd rather have a team of above-average players working well as a team than a few celebrities hawking Nike products.
  14. Shaitan
    Yet another Manfred move I don't like. No real comment about it during the 2020 situation, but: yuck, not for me.
  15. Shaitan
    Based on last year's rotation and Rocco's general approach to rest, that seems realistic.
  16. Shaitan
    To risk opening this rat's nest again: Trevor Bauer. On a purely "because they're rivals" level: Today: Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks 2000-2010s: Jermaine Dye (similar reason as others naming Konerko) early '90s: Wade Boggs (because Gaetti was my favorite player and he was always second in all-star votes)
  17. Shaitan
    He's also the one player in this lineup who (as of 2019) was still actively playing.
  18. Shaitan
    Atlanta in the Central?
  19. Shaitan
    Lots of great stuff here, including that Radke commercial. Of course, you overlooked the most important contribution from Milton -- the trade that brought Nick Punto to MN.
  20. Shaitan
    What is the record for SB in a season by a player over 40?
  21. Shaitan
    Great stuff, both in the post and comments.
  22. Shaitan
    Some names I'd forgotten in there, like Alex Burnett and Jeff Manship. Did Garza retire?
  23. Shaitan
    I'd consider Dozier on this list. Maybe Garver in a couple more years. Kubel gets an honorable mention.
  24. Shaitan
    As the "all '80s threads" show, it's possible to be very successful by trading established players. There is no perfect plan; rather every situation is different. That said, I would personally would not trade an established starter to make way for a player in AA unless they are a Joe Mauer-level prospect. But there are variables (injury histories, budget, personality, etc).
  25. Shaitan
    I hope a pitching list is coming soon too. I'd also like to see lists of who the Twins hitters and/or pitchers perform against exceptionally well.
