  1. Mud Hens manager Doug Mientkiewicz said flatly he does not think terms such as ‘spin rate’ or ‘launch angle’ have much use in the day-to-day work he does with his players. “Those terms, for me, are for people who may not see it with their own eyes,” he said. “We try to teach the same things, no matter what the terms are. I’ve never seen a ‘spin rate’ get someone out or a ‘launch angle’ get a base hit.” Do not misunderstand, Mientkiewicz cautioned: He knows there is value in the new analytics. “For me, it helps in evaluating free agents and finding players,” he said. “Everything has a place. “But to me, you have to trust people who can see things with their own eyes.”
  2. Just curious - how many of the managers of this year's playoff teams have strong Spanish skills? No horse in this race - honestly don't know.
  3. Looking at the player is two separate pieces is ignorant, at best. Joe Mauer, the composite, the entire player, is a HOF'er.
  4. I am confused how this does anything to help anyone who wants to see the Twins compete at the highest levels. Seems more like a recipe for disaster to me. But that's what makes a market, I guess.
  5. What I believe is that they were hired spcifically for the upcoming off-season, and that everything they have done up to this point was in preparation for implementing their plan over the next few months.
  6. Seems to me Wells has not seen much decline in his results as he moves up in levels. In fact, it seems like his results are improving. I am impressed with him.
  7. On this day, he faced seven batters and got seven outs, six via the strikeout. Shouldn't that be ten batters and ten outs?
  8. Excited to see Johan Q get the promotion to CR. Has a great chance if he can keep the walks under control.
