    No, we are NOT a small market team. Ownership just spends like one.
  2. FredLynn
    Gonzalez is behind schedule with his rehab.
  3. FredLynn
    The Henrys need their lobster breakfast every morning.
  4. FredLynn
    The franchise makes enough money to put us in the top five and a serious competitor for a ring.
  5. FredLynn
    I think we are marginally better this year, maybe by 2-3 games in the W column. I also think Mayer can do much better and that there’s a chance that Casas could also contribute. But there was more money that could have been spent to make the team a solid contender for a ring, and I know you feel the same way.
  6. FredLynn
    Sounds like more excuses to me. The money is there to make us competitive. As the team now stands we will likely be bottom third in runs scored. Tough to compete for a ring that way.
  7. FredLynn
    Winning is being able to compete for a ring nearly every year. If we finish with 82 wins is that winning enough for you? Or squeaking into the playoffs only to be promptly eliminated in round one?
  8. FredLynn
    Saying that you are committed to winning but remaining below average in percentage of revenue spent on salaries is IMO dishonest. If you say you are going to do something then do not do everything in your power to make it happen, barring disaster, thats dishonest. You know-like the "full throttle" comment from last year.

    Caleb Durbin. Now our season is surely saved. OPS+: 101
  10. FredLynn
    "Cheap" IMO is having the resources to spend much more on quality players to fulfill his so-called desire to win but not spending them. Dishonest? I could live with that term instead of cheap.
  11. FredLynn
    Still below average.

    It’s in this link: https://twinstrivia.com/2025/04/05/mlb-teams-revenue-versus-payroll/

    When you have the resources to spend to make the team a factor in the hunt for a ring-and you are well below average in spending those resources on player salaries, thats being a cheapskate.

    Just a quick unrelated FYI: I have been unable to post with any regularity here because there is some sort of software issue that Brock is going to (hopefully) address over the next few days. I get locked out, depriving everyone here of my "wisdom" (kidding, of course). If I disappear from here that is the reason.
  15. FredLynn
    No. Its not enough because they are still (roughly) 23rd in percentage of revenue spent on salaries. You yourself said you wish he would spend more. In addition, historically, it has not been spent wisely enough, which is a separate issue.
  16. FredLynn
    Yup Cheap 23rd in percentage of revenue spent on salaries. Cheap
  17. FredLynn
    Trust me: Rodger’s will be our starting 2Bman. Breslow is counting on him to contribute with an OPS well over .800. Besides, he’s someone Henry the Cheap is willing to pay for.
  18. FredLynn
    Maybe. Stranger things have happened than dumping an incompetent GM. Meanwhile, our season is saved! The dumb GM just acquired Brendon “no hit, all K” Rodgers to play the IF! Just the guy we all expected!
  19. FredLynn
    More importantly it would make the Flops contenders. But it’s a pipe dream.
  20. FredLynn
    As you wrote earlier I believe , getting Paredes puts us in the top 5-6 teams and allows us to compete for a ring. But it’s very unlikely.
  21. FredLynn
    In the unlikely event he gets Paredes etc he would get a B. Not an A because he failed to sign top talent with a bat-Alonso or Schwarber. We both know that’s highly unlikely. F
  22. FredLynn
    I’d give Gray a B- and Contreras a B. NOT getting more talent reduces his grade. So does wasting a window to compete for a ring. We aren’t getting the three you mentioned or the deal would already have happened. Breslow might be ok with mediocrity (compared to the other ALE teams) this year but none of us are.
  23. FredLynn
    I won’t argue about 10 points-it’s still an F. Now I don’t want to tell everyone that this is EXACTLY what I predicted would happen after Suarez was signed-but getting bums like IKF and what’s-his-name is exactly what happened. Dumpster diving. Breslow needs to go.
  24. FredLynn
    It’s already out. If some players greatly over perform he gets no credit for that. F=get fired
  25. FredLynn
    Not in my book. Had he signed Ranger AND a talented IF he would get an A. Had he signed someone who is a significant upgrade with the bat based on career numbers and they underperformed he would get credit for trying. He couldn’t even do that. Incompetent. As it stands now the Flops are a 4th place team.
