    Fangraphs pretty much goes off algorithm for the ratings. A player that is not on the field is useless in any scenario. Limited defensively but can hit is going to be more valued than often injured

    Not yet for Martin nor Lee but two very similar words com to mind. Busted or Bust

    When there was 600 AB last year by players who should have stayed in Saint Paul it is reasonable to find ways to let them stay there this year until ready Nick Gordon’s future? Was last year an aberration or is he starting to be a good hitter? I suppose the detailed analysis of that may come from someone. It is better to be prepared for regression than not. Does the FO like him as a player? He was a Ryan prospect when they came, of course not

    The proper analysis for wether or not the shift ban will help Buxton is not a spray chart of hits but of outs. Do those outs fall witching where the shortstop could be positioned? Answer that and you will know wether or not a shift cost him

    Your own typing The shift wasn't taking away any home runs.

    Oops the smart people here should pick up on the mistake

    He is the only Canadian athlete who can’t take a punch

    I wonder if they tinkered so much with Kepler’s swing that it is now off. Hopefully he spent time over winter workin on it

    Shifts do not take away home runs. That would be a heck of a great rune by the 2b to rob a hr from starting in short right.

    A reliever that lost far more games for his teams last year than Pagan was Trevor Rogers. Sad, but true. I find it interesting that it seems like Pagan gets for the season gone awry. Jax was near the same level of blown saves and loses Season went downhill when Archer and Buddy were no longer effective. It was unfortunate tWinder went down in July and Ober in June.

    The team has gone through about 35 pitchers every year. Players will get their shot at a cup of coffee. For Dobnak the chance will come if the pitches come back. If the hand remains too stiff he is on to his next career.

    Maybe this is the year that they are not using starter 8-13 due to ineffectiveness or attitude. No Lynn, Shoemaker,Happ Buddy or Archer types on the roster.

    Lot of strains. No wonder there is a new trainer
  14. old nurse
    I think the 10 run rule should be in place, though i thing the 10 run rule should be the losing team has to buy a beverage for every fan still in attendance at the game

    Minor league deal, fine.

    Trying to assess a bullpen is a tricky thing. You really can’t look at win/losses/blown saves. The bullpens of bad teams do not get that chance as often. The game is over before they get a chance. Most other numbers will get skewed by a bad outing or two. It makes it hard to fully assess. Does this current bullpen have potential? Yup. Then again, so didn’t Duffey up until last year.

    I think Al Hrabowki retired a few years ago

    The master plan probably includes getting Pagán to pitch as effectively as possible

    The corners is what has to be decided. Kepler, Larnach and Kirilloff for corner outfield/1b. Gallo would be a given.

    babip of 44% is horrid

    In the late 80s a 90+ fb was not very common. Now it seems like the average for decent pitchers is in the mid 90s. People do not seem to understand that for most they get there through effort. That effort produces more stress, hence more wear and tear leading to IL. It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out, but it is

    The last true ACE was Madison Bumgartner. That has been a decade ago. Regular season success becomes meaningless when in the end you lose in the playoffs.

    Was 2019 so long ago that the blogger forgot how the pitching went south? Did they forget the seasons that were mostly career years for the younger Twins players?

    Brooks Raley and Jason Adam, though very indirect, reminded me the Twins’ castoffs provide at pipeline for the Rays bullpen.. Makes one think they should have hired a Rays FO person. Then I remember that Boston is a train wreck. Sorry for the stray thought. Back to WBC

    They both have a left arm. 🤣
