    Who said that? That's a weird straw man. One is allowed to "have a problem with" an article, and for damn good reason, and not be falsely accused of trying shut down debate. In fact, if anyone is, it's you: So then what's this article doing here? All sides have a right to their opinions. Period.

    What's the likelihood of Charlie Barnes dropping an ineffective pitch or two and being able to reach back for a few more digits on the radar gun in relief? My feeling is that that may be his best shot to stick, but we've seen plenty of fringe-starter lefties do it, including one in Glen Perkins who became one of the Twins' best closers.

    Such a cheap Dodgers move....

    That sounds like the exact opposite of job security. I completely disagree with these takes.

    Honestly these guys are probably our new 1-2. Royce Lewis losing so much time has to hurt his stock.

    This makes me feel better. Of course it happened literally while I was posting that I wanted more than SWR.

    I hope there’s more than one piece coming back. He doesn’t seem like a plug and play for 2022, and his ceiling is likely Berrios-esque but with all the risk that comes from having just a half a season above single A. I know he’s considered a good prospect but I want an overpay and one guy isn’t it. IMHO.

    Vodka Dave it became a running joke.

    Will there be a JSON API?

    I got regular groomsman gifts for my friends at my wedding, but my brother best man got that very same ‘85 Topps Puckett card.

    Man, **** expanded playoffs with the business end of a rake.

    Always seemed like a priority to me. Maybe especially so if our competition for signing him is all in-division.

    Fact that may only interest me: when I visited the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2013, mostly to see Buxton in person for the first time, I saw him play against Albert Almora, then on the Kane County Cougars. They were both very impressive, but Almora had the better game that day. (I also saw Dan Vogelbach and remember thinking that if he doesn’t get into some semblance of shape it won’t matter how many homers he hits, he wouldn’t make it to the majors. I guess that was not true.)

    Yeah seems to reward pitching depth more this way than just top end pitchers. One or two aces might not get it done if the rest of the rotation is bad.

    Based on this: “ With a career BABIP of .306 some might see it as unlucky that his 2020 BABIP is at .238, and his statcast numbers would support that idea. Many of his advanced metrics are right around his career norms so Marwin could really benefit with more consistent playing time and some positive regression.” I’d probably just roll with Marwin. It’s a 10 day stint, back dated. Arraez will be back soon.

    Great writing. Very evocative. This will be the first year i won’t make it to a game at Target Field since it opened, and I’m really missing it.

    It's at times like these that a lack of minor league stats becomes really problematic. I have no idea how well or badly he's pitching now because there aren't any games. I know, I know, scouting the stat line is never enough, but when you're dealing with what should be a fairly finished product, looking at high-minors stats should be indicative of what to expect. I'd love see him for my own curiosity, but we're flying blind here.

    I don’t have a good feeling about a bullpen game. Homer Bailey seemed great last time out. What’s going on?
  20. 70charger
    Come on. Don't use incorrect statistics that were used against you to further your own point. It just makes everyone dumber.
  21. 70charger
    This I agree with. However, it's hard to know whether an attempted fix would improve or deteriorate his game until he tries it. I'm generally of the opinion that he's not maximizing his abilities at the moment, and with some tweaks, he'd be a more formidable hitter, and less frustrating to watch. (That last one may just be me.)

    Your stats are definitely off in 2019. Kepler had significantly better on base, OPS, and OPS+, along with 20 more points of slugging. I think you might want to take another look at their stats from last year. Kepler's batting line last year was better than Rosario has ever had in his entire career. If that's "one solid year and no good ones," I think you might be putting the conclusion before the evidence.

    Just my personal opinion of course, but it looks to me like the betting line is overweighting recent pitching performances. If Berrios reverts to more of what we'd expect him to be, and the Twins' lineup keeps executing like it has against most everyone - including Bieber - then I'd call the Twins slight favorites. Edit: Vegas caught up. Looks like the line flipped.

    Seriously though, everyone who thought that Bryce Harper would be more a less a worse-slugging Max Kepler in 2019, raise your hand. (Put it down, buddy.)
