    I don't think anyone is implying that he's mastered AA ball. But looking at the numbers it does seem that he more than held his own, especially considering that he was almost five years younger than the average competition (much of which also has seen major league pitching). I think Berrios has given Twins fans every reason to be very optimistic. But I also understand the healthy skepticism. My point is just that sometimes prospects do pan out, and Berrios has certainly shown signs of overcoming some of the harsher criticisms people have leveled at him.

    Not to mention that Shields would actually have to have been willing to sign with the Twins.

    Maybe not the best baseball move, but my 14 year old self likes it.

    Were you comparing Dozier's base running before and after Molitor's arrival? Because my reading led me to believe you were looking at 2014 only. Also, you'd need to expand measurement to every Twin that got on base in 2014, not just Dozier. Finally, to see if there was an effect of Molitor on the Twins' base running, you 'd need to compare their leads/jumps/slides, etc. to other teams in baseball to control for broader innovations and changing approaches to base running in general. It's useful to look at video and compare a team's stats from year to year, but there are a whole mess of variables you need to control for if you're hoping to make some causal claim of Molitor's presence on the coaching staff. Just saying. While trying to bring quantitative analysis into the conversation is somewhat constructive, and you did present a really thoughtful discussion, I think to really determine the effects we're talking about here would quickly lead straight down a rabbit hole. Go Twins! Go Molitor!

    I can't help but feel hopeful that a day after the Twins were supposedly going to announce their new manager but wound up failing to do so, Maddon becomes available. Wild speculation on my part, but a guy can hope...
