  1. Pretty simple why Kepler was way better last year as reflected in fWAR. Better hitter - OPS 55 points higher, from more walks and better power. Vastly superior fielder, since he has great range in outfield and poor range from Rosario. Better hitter and way better fielder combine for much better player.
  2. You are right, they can't finalize Betts/Price being dealt without the related pieces because Boston doesn't want Maeda and needs more back than just Alex Verdugo. I think Dodgers/Boston agreed they want to make the trade but they still haven't agreed to what Boston gets in return.
  3. I agree W-L is not good metric, that was a pretty bad stretch of pitching though in the six games you mention. Maybe not 0-6 worthy but not what we'd like to see.
  4. How could they be surprised he is more a reliever than starter. Never stayed healthy as a starter and the twins announced they are making him a reliever this year. If he were durable enough to be a starter with his stuff he'd be worth much more than Maeda.
  5. Nice article. I agree the Indians are a concern. Have to take issue though with: " One could make an argument that the Indians have the four best players in the division even when considering the recent Josh Donaldson signing" I guess you could argue anything but the 3 top players by WAR are not Indians and I don't think there is any logical argument they have the best 4 players in the division.
  6. I agree 4 years and ~$50-$55M is reasonable. To everyone that thinks this is low ball, need to keep in mind we already have 2 years at ~15-$20M. So in effect we would be buying 2 years at ~$35M, but there is some risk for Twins and increased security for Sano. If his hitting declines some and he can't play 3rd base in a couple years, or has a serious injury, then he won't get $$35M from anyone for his first two free agency years.
