  1. The Twins have him locked up until 2022, assuming they want him that long.
  2. Buxton was never "Broken." He was (and is) young and dealing with extreme expectations. His talent was always going to shine through eventually.
  3. Right. This is a "shooting fish in the barrel" article. This stuff will be written as long as Sano is in MN.
  4. If he were to lie he would lose access to the team, no doubt.
  5. The article states they are "getting to him" and are working on it. This is one reason I 1) don't see what the fuss is about here, and 2) question why this was so casually put out there by the team.
  6. Exactly. Sano would have commented freely on this if given the chance. Like some others I don't see that this is a scathing article, but I still think the article could have been better, and the Twins could have been smarter....
  7. Moving goalposts. At one point Sano weight 280 and vowed to lose 20 pounds. He then showed up to spring training weighing 260. I can buy it that he has put on weight since the season started, but this article states that they are "always working on it." Not seeing where the problem is. Every player on this team has something they are "working on" with the training staff!
  8. The Twins could do better by not sharing these concerns with the press. This is either clueless/careless or simply a bad tactic to be using at the moment since he is playing well. Probably the former.
  9. I think he makes the HOF simply because I don't expect many people who were better to be up for consideration during his years of eligibility.... Does he deserve it? Sure, but I understand the argument against.
  10. I haven't heard the laziness angle for a long time. It's certainly not fair to raise this year.
  11. Chicago has incredibly good food, the best of any city I have lived in or visited. Hopefully the Twins are stepping out and experiencing that and not eating the food catered for them. I think when this happened in the past it was blamed on the catered food.
  12. Hasn't it happened more than once in the past 10 years where some Twins players got food poisoning when playing the White Sox in Chicago? The Twins need a food taster when playing this particular rival.
  13. Gibson has been pulled early in some games where he could have had a "quality start" as far as runs allowed is concerned.
  14. This loss isn't on the bullpen. You are not going to win many games with only 3 hits. Considering the pitching they were up against (who they should have been able to score on), the position players were probably a bit out of gas.
  15. It's a mathematical error. Indexing only works when things are counted once, such as in the various stock indexes. Would anyone trust the Dow Jones Industrials if it counted Apple and 3M four times each but Intel once? Do you see how Intel's value would be utterly irrelevant to the index in this scenario unless its value was at an extreme? The only "marginal" values that would register in this scenario would have to be extreme, and if the values are extreme they are certainly not marginal....
  16. SDI takes the available existing defensive systems and adds them together. That's it. It is flawed because there is considerable overlap in what the systems measure, which means certain traits are counted multiple times and the systems were already weighing traits to start with.
  17. There have already been several bottom seeded teams who have won the WS. MLB has not been like the NFL where it took years for the wild card teams to be relevant in the playoffs.
  18. That's Molitor. He doesn't memorize matchups as he is supposed to, and this is one of the easiest ones to memorize.
  19. Just say no to internal options. Hire the best, and the best can't be found within the organization. I feel like the "Cheap people we already know and want to support" ship has sailed.
  20. I would not be upset if Molitor sticks around. I think he is terrible at managing pitching but who the hell am I. However, I would keep him on 1-year contracts because, like it or not, there are questions marks. He still has to prove himself, even 3 years in. If he won't accept that, I would let him walk.
