Twins and A's are reportedly discussing Manaea and Montas and the A's just traded Matt Olson to Atlanta. Would including Kirilloff in a package for Montas be overpaying? (For the record I wouldn't include him)
Discuss below.

Importance of defense
Importance of defense · mnfireman · 09/16/2021 07:28 PM
This years team has been terrible defensively; a lot of errors (physical and mental), misplayed balls that could have been called errors, throws to the wrong base, missed cut-off men, etc... This then makes me wonder if the pitchers are unable to relax on the mound, trying to be too perfect, not pitching "loose." Constantly throwing from the stretch, having to throw extra pitches, trying to make the perfect pitch to get the strike out, etc... could be hindering their development. We are seeing a lot of bad pitching seasons here.

Rule Changes: What do we want/not want to see.
Rules Changes · mnfireman · 05/26/2021 08:34 PM
There was discussion on today's game thread about rules changes to try to improve our favorite sport, some for, some against. I would like to hear people's ideas on the subject and the reasoning for their decisions.

I had really hoped the Twins had signed him, turns out to be a good non-signing.

I have not heard one professional athlete make a statement on this subject (human trafficking), but they are all over the news supporting BLM.

Manager - How much difference can one make?
· mnfireman · 08/15/2013 02:10 PM
It is commonly accepted that one manager is not worth more than another manager - that the results would be the same no matter who is at the helm.
However, if one looks at the standings over the last few years, it appears to me that a manager might make quite a bit of difference.
Bob Melvin in Oakland, Buck Showalter in Baltimore, Terry Francona in Cleveland, John Farrell in Boston, Clint Hurdle in Pittsburgh to name a few have turned teams around over the last couple of years while Mike Scioscia in Los Angeles, Bobby V. in Boston, and Charlie Manuel in Philadelphia to name a few have had major regressions over the last few years.
So my question is: Can one manager make more of a difference than another?

Anybody else love the fact that Morneau was directly involved in the play that clinched the Pirates first playoff berth since 1992?

Just throwing the stats out there, no analysis or deep reaching comments, yet! I may delve deeper into these as the season wears on, but for now I figured I would just post them and let the commentors read into and say what they want about them.
My first thoughts are that even though the offense and starting pitching have room for major improvements, the team is doing quite well and should not give up this season as no one is running away with the division yet. However, if they need to keep relying on the bullpen they will run into major trouble. Willingham, Dozier, Hicks, Parmalee, Plouffe and Doumit have provided almost zero help so far, but Arcia, Escobar and Florimon have been pleasant surprises.
Look at the stats, form your own opinions, state your own comments, etc...
Good luck Twins!

2013 Payroll
· mnfireman · 06/16/2012 03:56 AM
There have been alot of posts on here about all the money coming off the books next year. Let's take a look at the real numbers, as I have done on a couple off occassions this year.
The team currently has 8 players under contract for next year and they will earn $63.8 M
The team team has 4 arbitration eligible players that are estimated to receive $20 M. We are at 12 players and $83.8 M.
The team has 2 players, Matt Capps and Scott Baker, with team options totalling $15.25 M. The smart thing to do would be to decline these, meaning we need to fill 13 spots. Using players that are in the system at the pre-arbitration average we get $9.43 M. We are at 25 players and $93.2 M.
The team loses Pavano, Liriano, Doumit & Marquis (already DFA'd). Declining the Capps and Baker options means the team needs 3 SP's, a closer, and a DH/C. Remember also that Blackburn receives (not earns) $5.5 M and Nishioka $3 M. Removing Burroughs, Thomas and Hughes frees up about $1.6 M, pushing payroll back to about $91.6 M.
I can see the logic that people are using to dream about Greinke, Hamels, Sanchez, etc... but unless payroll goes up to $120 M - $125 M, I only see about $8.4 M to sign FA's.
Beginning to look like they are "Target"ing 2014 when estimated payroll drops to about $75 M, but Morneau, Blackburn, Nishioka, Casilla and Carroll become free agents.
EDIT: I used Baseball-Reference's payroll tool. It estimated the Twins arbitration total at $20 M using 3 year averages. However, Casilla, Duensing, Burton and Burroughs will not get $20 M, closer to $6M. Also I missed Gray being arb. eligible and he probably won't get an offer. These new numbers make me feel that the team picks up Capps $6 M option, putting payroll around $82 M, which leaves $18 M to get to $100 M. I apologize for not being thorough the first time through.

Where do we start.....
· mnfireman · 05/19/2012 06:25 PM
Figured I would give this blog thing a try!
First of all, I like most of you, am a fan of baseball and the Twins in particular. It has been interesting reading some of the posts on here as to how to fix the team. I will offer no theories but instead will post some statistics using what have become the standard measuring tools - AVG/OBP/SLG & OPS for batters and WHIP, K/BB, K/9 & OPS against for pitchers. I will also note the Twins ranks among the AL teams.
And now, your 2012 Twins stats and rankings:
C - .264/.342/.336 .677 (9)
1B - .204/.283/.303 .586 (13)
2B - .242/.296/.295 .591 (11)
3B - .172/.214/.255 .469 (13)
SS - .234/.306/.312 .618 (9)
LF - .309/.413/.581 .993 (1)
CF - .278/.337/.340 .677 (11)
RF - .188/.263/.312 .575 (14)
DH - .288/.392/.591 .983 (2)
PH - .353/.368/.588 .957 (2)
Overall - .244/.318/.369 .687 (12)
1 - .288/.346/.356 .702 (7)
2 - .212/.289/.282 .571 (11)
3 - .276/.382/.379 .762 (10)
4 - .239/.335/.458 .793 (7)
5 - .309/.406/.640 1.046 (1)
6 - .204/.258/.299 .557 (13)
7 - .204/.275/.321 .596 (13)
8 - .216/.273/.295 .568 (11)
9 - .244/.285/.311 .596 (10)
SP - 1.58 WHIP (14) 1.76 K/BB (14) 4.86 K/9 (14) .910 OPS (14) 9-21 6.48 ERA (14)
RP - 1.10 WHIP (3) 2.34 K/BB (8) 6.01 K/9 (14) .624 OPS (2) 4-5 3.24 ERA (5)
Overall - 1.39 WHIP (12) 1.98 K/BB (9) 5.31 K/9 (14) .804 OPS (14) 13-26 5.20 ERA (14)

Outta LF......
· mnfireman · 04/19/2021 11:23 PM
This may be different by the end of the season, but I think the current offense could use Eddie. His defense is even above average by sabermetrics.
Twins LF - .185/.224/.241 0 HR 5 RBI
Rosario - .245/.304/.434 2 HR 8 RBI

2014 and Beyond - Coaching staff
· mnfireman · 09/14/2013 02:23 AM
Love him or hate him, Gardy's fate is not in our hands. There are, as there should be, arguments to be made for keeping him, and for letting him go. Based on the fact that Terry Ryan won't commit either way, I think he is letting Gardy decide. He has a job if he wants one. I would like to see somebody different man the helm, like AAA manager Gene Glynn or, as mentioned in another posting, Dave Martinez. Both have ties to the Rays and, I believe, know how to handle younger players and a roster in constant flux.
Rick Anderson's fate should be a little clearer - don't bring him back. The game has passed him by. Pitching to contact can be a good thing, but doesn't apply the same to every pitcher. Some guys have the ability and the stuff to strike guys out, teach them how to use what they've got. Cuellar is already with the big league club and familiar with working many of the players, and also speaks Spanish. Promote him.
