what is a franchise — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 09:10:31 -0000

One of the biggest advantages of getting involved with a franchise is that you will have extra costs to be able to get involved with a franchise. It is also a good idea to get a payroll based franchise.

I don't know if there's enough space on the internet to go into all of the medical staff's transgressions...

It was a nice win, no doubt. A win, that any MLB team should look at and say, we got a win. The fact the media (and I am sure gardy) made such a big deal out of it, shows how far the Twins have fallen....and how intimidated they and their fans are of the yankees.

Cruddy and Torii can kiss my ass. Torii will say anything to get a quote. What he should be talking about is how badly mismanaged that game was by Tardy. Batting Kubel 6 times? Pitching Nathan into the 12th inning (his 3rd inning, when he had only gone 2 innings, I believe once the whole year). Leaving Balfour in for only an inning when he was unhitable, and had pitched more than one inning many times....blah blah blah, I digress.

Good points. Next article should be all the players the Twins medical staff has ruined??? The list is extensive...

There are a lot of great points here, but I’m not sure I agree with
real-time search being discarded. I agree that it’s not very relevant,
but isn’t the point of it to show what people are currently saying about
a topic?

Hey gang, great to have you back. I haven't checked this thing out in over a month and you are back on!!!!!!

Regardless, today's topic. The Twins are archaic when it comes to analysis. It wasn't until 3 years ago, I believe, that the twins hired that one dude that Sean mentions in his comments. Ryan, much less so, than BS, is not a stats guy. With all the blogs and other info, it's tough to ignore now, even for the Twins. Willingham for example, is a guy they might not have signed 5 or 6 years ago, because of his batting average, strikeouts and perceived glove were bad. Advanced stats show that he is a more productive hitter than Cuddyer...so maybe there is hope?

Ryan is a significant upgrade in evaluating talent, than BS. However, let's not forget, that for every good move Ryan has made, he has made bad moves. He is an average GM, who made one unbelievable trade, a good in season trade, and bailed before making a franchise defining trade and left it up to an office organizer, who was in over his head. I call that yellow.

Am I happier to have Ryan than BS? Yes, absolutely. But are the twins really moving forward with this hire? Ryan is the guy that always offers low ball contracts and then tells the media an offer was on the table (see Hunter, Santana, Cuddyer ect..). Cuddyer said not one twins official or player called him to try and convince him to stay. The Rockies, however, were all over him. I don't think the twins ever wanted Cuddyer, since they could get the same or better player for cheaper and the draft pick. Ryan though, got to tell the media buffoons that a contract was out there, so people can think we really, really tried to get him here, and really wanted him. Right.. This is what he does folks, and it has always driven me crazy.

I can't blame you for not posting much last year. It was ugly, and it was predictably ugly before the season started.

I am not very optimistic this year either, as it is looking more and more like Morneau is not going to be back or at full capacity. Keep posting gents!

Dave St Peter, the Twins' president, responded the other day to a question on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/Twin...

"Twins rely on scouting + #'s = balanced approach RT@TrickBoughton Just watched #moneyball. In Twins org do numbers trump the scout opinions?"

Aside from being amused by the fact that the person asking the question is apparently worried that the Twins rely too much on statistics, it's
interesting that St Peter claimed they take a balanced approach.

I've read elsewhere (can't find the link right now) that the Twins have one person looking at stats -- they won't hire a team to do it. Maybe that's the "balance" they think works best...
