  1. I am hoping the fan was unaware of his background but that seems unlikely. It would be nice if our culture was more aware of the value of all lives, including the opposition.
  2. I stopped reading. I will noT give the FO credit for a fire sale strategy to get the best “available” players. We sold low and the buyers knew it! We got lucky at best.
  3. I am cheering for the guy and I hope so fi him and the twins. However, the issue seems more to be with our aggressiveness with RISP. We have our worst AB’s, Wallner and everyone, with RISP. We get too aggressive and get into bad counts. Double plays and strikeouts. Is there data on bad AB’s with RISP? How is that changing?
  4. Of course, another 4 A talent. Twins attract these guys like bees in a hive.
  5. It’s painful to review this lineup. It’s all we can do at his point. Unfortunately, it only makes the outlook more dreadful.
  6. Wow, great! Weren’t we like 8-18 in Sept? I don’t blame Shelton for trying to create some excitement but the bottom line is that the product on the field will be the determining factor in fan excitement.
  7. The house is on fire. The roof of the barn is smoldering and you realize you just refilled all your fuel cans that you store in it.
  8. I don’t understand what this has to do with the Correa trade. These are two separate deals and the Correa trade was just one of the disasters of that summer.
  9. To a team with few valuable assets I suppose these guys make it onto the balance sheet. However, trading some these pieces for a player who may make a difference in our line up this year or next is a pipe dream. I feel bad for the writers trying to find information that will draw interest.
  10. I would be stunned if they actually hired a decent candidate with experience. At least they got some experience. I doubt he will be around long.
  11. I think my comment that both parties will work a deal out implies it won’t take the extra $300k to get a deal done. Whatever he is worth he will get from us because we have no bullpen right now and if we do it will be very young.
  12. A salary range of $1.1-1.4m seems reasonable for Tonkin. If $300k becomes a contention for the FO is just another reason to not like this organization. I fully expect both parties to come to an agreement.
  13. There was a typo in your title. It was supposed to say Rocco wasn’t the only problem.
  14. If we get the first pick, would we actually pay the best player? Typically we haven’t.
