  1. That makes 2 of us. I don't think Detroit trades Skubal, The team would be in an uproar. Tiger fans would crucify GM Greenberg. Skubal is such a difference maker. He can beat you any day he pitches. Skubal stays in Detroit. As for the Twins, I think any talk about competing is fruitless. I think ownership will continue to pare payroll, first by trading Ryan this winter and then Lopez during the spring when some hopeful contender loses 2 starters to injury and will cough up for Lopez. But then again, I know nothing.
  2. At least it's bias is toward the sensational rather than idealogical.
  3. I don't know, sounds like the original article was ghost-written by Randball Stu.
  4. Calvin Griffith was a better Twin's owner than the current Pohlad situation.
  5. Baseball REF has Kody Clemens listed as 450th all-time on the First Base list, right behind ex-Twin Jose Morales. Go Twins. 🙂
  6. So even the benches need coaches now, eh? Don't get up, I'll just let myself out the back door. 🙃
  7. Made me laugh when Shelty referred to Joe Mauer as "Seven".
  8. On another note as it pertains to positions in MLB: vice president of amateur forecasting and player evaluation initiatives. Really? It's another organization but, what the heck is that? It's starting to get weird fellas (and gals).
  9. Got no problems with Maki. Edit: Though I would like him to corral what ever magic is necessary to help Zebby not give up so many hits.
  10. Lee Louvre, left-handed reliever of dubious abilities, can't be trusted to lock down the game.
  11. Yes, but it would be nice if he hit them when the game was still in the balance.
  12. I was thinking maybe this guy would work. He'd knock down line drives about as often as Julien, and swing at strikes about the same. Lack of speed on the bases might be a problem, but that has never been a hinderance for the Twins, and the price would be just about right,
  13. The Twins should have hired my wife. That woman could do lists.
  14. I think his actual extension took place before the season began, it was just announced (edit: not announced, "reported" per Chief) really late. You know, like during a losing streak.
  15. If Rocco had never managed before (assuming the Twins had a different manager the last 7 years), would he be a possible candidate for the manager position today? Doesn't that put a conundrum bun in your oven.
  16. Agreed, though firing Rocco now seems a little confusing. Is he being fired for this year's performance? Is this just the delayed firing from last year's collapse (not to mention the collapse of '22)? I can't think of one experienced manager who would want the job considering the current front office and projected payroll reductions. Seems to me that keeping Rocco (who is already contracted to get paid) would have been a better fit for the current "plans" unless you think winning is any part of ownership's goal here.
  17. The right time to fire Rocco was the day after the season ended last year. But instead they kept him and the inability to right the ship after last seasons collapse has hung on ever since.
  18. And, to save money, he could be his own bench coach.
