It is the frickin' lap dog Minnesota media, totally not necessary. It's not like they are going to run to Hicks and say, "Gardy says you missed a sign today!" Gardenhire is eminently replaceable. And the -if he has good players he wins- thing...yes, most big league managers can do that too! How about when your roster is in the development stage, then what can you do ? I do not know why he is considered such a player's manager, he's an ass. The clubhouse needed a big gust of fresh air...a new manager for where the Twins are at right now, and TR signed up for more of the same. The same people are making the same decisions. Nothing will change.

he's an ass Yes, yes he is. And does anyone want this guy to be the one to usher in Buxton and Sano?

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (3/25/2014 8:15:13 AM)
The Indians were one of the clubs vying for Scott Baker's services before the offseason, and just released Aaron Harang. Nevertheless, Cleveland will not pursue the starter at this point, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. Baker was released today by the Mariners after deciding he would rather test the market than accept an assignment to Triple-A.

To be fair he was manager of the year and has finished second numerous times.

quote: ORIGINAL: SoMnFan he's an ass Yes, yes he is. And does anyone want this guy to be the one to usher in Buxton and Sano? No TRUE accountability exists with Gardenhire. The truth is he's been awful for quite some time. Even when the team had talent he never had them prepared to play in the postseason. He was all about just 'getting there" As soon as I saw him praise the team's effort after that limp performance in the 2010 postseason series against the Yankees I knew this team was headed for a nuclear winter. I toss a lot of the blame at Gardenhire

ewen21 -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (3/25/2014 8:51:46 PM)
Some people still want to make excuses for the guy. It's really kind of comical.

CWG -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (3/25/2014 8:52:00 PM)
He was voted Manager of the Year in 2010.

Yeah baby ... Dodgers have a higher payroll than my Yankees Does that mean NY can now use the "little engine that could" theme?

And who cares? MOY is a totally meaningless award.

Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (3/27/2014 11:30:04 PM)
Being spurned by reigning AL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer hasn’t reined in the Tigers’ desire to spend big. On Thursday, they reached an agreement with two-time AL MVP winner Miguel Cabrera on an eight-year extension running through 2023, worth roughly $248 million. While there’s little doubt that the 30-year-old slugger (31 on April 18) is the best hitter in baseball right now, this record-setting contract locks in what’s likely to be his decline phase at a fairly steep price. On top of the two years and $44 million remaining on his current deal (eight years, $152.3 million) pact, Cabrera is now guaranteed a total of $292 million over the next 10 years, surpassing Alex Rodriguez’s 10-year, $275 million deal as the largest in history. http://mlb.si.com/2014/03/27/detroit-tigers-miguel-cabrera-extension/?eref=sihp

Why do they offer players enormous contracts that extend well beyond their productive seasons of their career?
