    Diaz for the Mets had a .330+ BABIP. A very long time ago and now likely in cyber dust, I read one place that BABIP normalizes for pitchers ay about 1000 innings. I do not foresee for the most part BABIP useful for relief pitching . It may rise and fall but other numbers may give a truer picture of what is going on

    To remove a player from the 40 man roster a team has to DFA them, thus making them available to all of the clubs. Attempting to stash a player would be a losing proposition. Look at the multiple times a player has switched teams multiple times over the off season

    The Twins made a quite a few trades last year. It might be safe enough to assume there were a lot of other trade offers. Leguminous may have been a prospect that came up in discussions. It will be interesting to see if this is the start of a busy off season or a return to minimal impact trades

    So you think Anderson is the only quality starting pitcher?

    Somebody like Funderburk would be more fitting than the story

    Most teams have a full 40 man roster. There will be non tendered players between now and the draft to open up spots. There are also free agents to sign. For a prospect to be selected pretty much they have to be a better prospect than someone who was on the 40 man of some team at the end of the season and offer more of an upside, I think this year’s rule 5 will be a snooze fest

    Since Rodney it to me has appeared that Baldeli will try to use the better reliever against the heart of the order rather than by the inning. There still has to be a closer mentality for the bottom of the order in the ninth but it is not necessary to have a closer if they score runs in the 8th with the top of the order

    They tried hard for Darvish. For every Scherzer that continues on pitching well for a new team there seems to be the Zimmermans, Corbins and Mad Bum who diminish. The successes are easily remembered, the failures not so much

    The Rockies have a similar player under contract to Kepler. Only cost them a prospect or two and they got cash to boot.

    Willie Norwood. It was said he could run like a deer. It was just too bad the were all those headlights above the stadium

    Baseball has done many changes with analytics. Swing for the fences, Launch angle revolution. Normal swing even with 2 strikes, Shifting on 1/6 of the plays. Through all of that BABIP does as it always has and floats between .290 and .300. It has been .290 the last couple of years, but it has been down there before. Might it help Kepler with no shift. Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the range the fielders have. There should be some improvement, but if Kepler went back to being more of a line drive hitter would probably do him more good

    A Twins All Star 2B on the trading block?. Anybody got Dave’s number for the true scoop?

    Only if they have a turntable with instructions in German

    The trade was addition by subtraction. Anything beyond that was a bonus.

    Let me try again. The work is flawed because the 2B can still play in the hole, just not short outfield. The shift is not banned completely. Where Kepler hit the ball the 2b still can be there. , Now if there were 9 red dots on the field stating this is where a fielder has to start every play they could be right. Celestino would also yarn be a ..400 hitter because they couldn’t play in

    Not a bad idea to anyone but Boras who is probably looking for a deal tp take Correa to 37. All iy takes is one team
  17. old nurse
    Spray chart shows a lot of ground balls in the infield. They wouls still be outs because the 2B still wouldn’t have to move far
  18. old nurse
    Benintendi only brought back suspects when he was traded from Boston. He is a similar to better offense, probably not the defense than Kepler. Why on earth would anyone five up a quality starting pitcher, a rare commodity, for a corner outfielder that is about an average hitter like Kepler
  19. old nurse
    A 2B at the edge of the grass in the hole between 1B and 2B would only have a few steps more to take to snag the ball, so a few more might drop in. I don’t know if the home run swing causes him to hit so many ground balls at the hole. A more line drive swing might fix it

    The list of shortstops shows that winning is a team game because there have been plenty of winning seasons with shortstops that had flaws.
  21. old nurse
    Maybe losing his closer role to Colome messed with his head. Relievers are smallish sample size. 2 numbers were higher. BB/9, HR/9. That is not a good combination when they happen in the same inning
  22. old nurse
    Not everybody wants Correa resigned. I find it hard to laugh at that kind of statement.
  23. old nurse
    Rogers lost the lead in 10 games this year. That kind of production would have netted the Twins a better draft pick

    When you say something like this it makes me wonder if you read the comments posted on this site

    I think the purpose of this article was to discourage trading for a SS
