kitekrazy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 05:49 PM) It's a legitimate question. On one side of the coin are those who say Ozzie has created an environment of complete "non-accountability." So we are to believe the players fought back "just enough" to keep their manager in his position but not enough to win th division? If the entire clubhouse just went completely south...wouldn't we have seen some type of "death spiral" down to 20-25 games below .500, as has happened two times with the Twins this year? Speaking of accountability...Gardenhire b****ed all season about the call ups not knowing the fundamentals. The Twins just fired some of their AAA coaches.

You might have tolerated that if he'd hit 6 HR in his first 50 PA's, but you're right. He couldn't field at all. It's just ridiculous to use those 50 PA's as somehow an indictment of anything.

caulfield12 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 But didn't Betemit also lead the entire major leagues in spring training home runs before that season started? Doesn't Walker get some credit for ST stats, lol? Heck, Josh Fields looked good that spring as well, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are suppose to learn them in ST in the Sox organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
