Article: Out Of Options But Not Out Of The Plans
Bob Sacamento replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Useless stat? I don't think you understand the stat at all then. Batting Average of Balls In Play which is literally what it means is the players batting average when walks, strikeouts, homeruns (BABIP = (H – HR)/(AB – K – HR + SF)) are taken out of the batting average calculation. The average BABIP is .300 and the best way to look at it is a measurement of luck or unlucky. Only the really good hitters are able to carry a BABIP of .300 or over sustainably. So anyone who follows BABIP would know that Danny Santana's 2014 .405 BABIP meant he was REALLY LUCKY and wasn't going to repeat or come close to those numbers that he posted. -
Article: Draft Blog, Entry 1 (2/9/16)
Bob Sacamento replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Well as someone who frequents Perfect Game events and SEC college baseball, I've seen a good deal of the top HS players and college performers in person. That Florida team is loaded, you mention Logan Shore but he's not even regarded by scouts as the best pitcher on his team that honor goes to lefty AJ Puk. To me Shore reminds me of Kyle Gibson at this point, command is his calling card, clean mechanics. Florida's CF is Buddy Reed who has blazing speed, raw power (his BP is impressive), plus D and arm, his contact tool is average at best. On Cody, no his talent level does not warrant a #16 pick especially as a college senior with no leverage. -

Arcia gets a bad wrap for his "attitude", kid got down on himself last year and it just snowballed from there. He's grown up over the offseason, "learned alot about me" and is out to prove that he can play everyday in the outfield. Of the three out of options guys, he's the most likely to make you say "crap, I can't believe we let him go for a bag of balls." Left handed power bats don't grow on trees...- 94 replies

Yeah Fort Myers rotation almost has me getting season tickets (and writing it off as a business expense). I think my goal this spring is to get a picture of that rotation all together...before they're all gone to AA by July

Article: My Day as GM
Bob Sacamento replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Great read, having been in Terry Ryan's Spring Training office before the start of the season, I can attest he has one wall that is covered with every team's 40 man roster broken down to 25 man roster to who had options etc. While the wall behind his desk had the Twins MLB and MiLB rosters broken down to depths. Quite an impressive sight, couldn't imagine all the calls; a GM has to be one of the most time consuming jobs in professional sports. -
Article: Catching Up With LHP Stephen Gonsalves
Bob Sacamento replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Makeup and mentality are just some of those things you can't teach, and Berrios and Gonsalves have it. If you're impressed by the reading about the two, you'd be even more impressed when talking to these two in person. Professional but not serious, confident but not cocky; great head on their shoulders and cerebral on top of it. Future pitchers, not just throwers. Could make a helluva a #2-3 punch in rotation in two-three years...Just don't push too hard, too soon (at least on Gonsalves). -
Article: Catching Up With LHP Stephen Gonsalves
Bob Sacamento replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Completely agree with ya there. That possible FSL rotation looks nice to start the season: Tyler Jay, Steve Gonsalves, Felix Jorge, Kohl Stewart (maybe). Huge fan of Gonsalves, cerebral lefty with plus makeup, good command, and three average to plus offerings don't grow on trees. When we look back on the 2013 draft in a couple years, there's a good chance he's the best of the Twins' class. -
Aaron Judge is who you are referring to, and he's considered an average defender in RF with a plus arm and average speed. Judge is 3-4 inches taller and about the same weight. Sano had a cannon at 3B (just very erratic) before his TJ surgery and it hasn't recovered full strength, and he's below average speed. He can't be any worse than Adam Dunn or Delmon Young out there right??...

Article: Get To Know: Outfielder LaMonte Wade
Bob Sacamento replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Wade's the type of player with a good all around game, good enough to jump a few of those other college OFs ahead of him. His plate approach and strikezone judgment alone should propel him over a few of those guys. I think he'll surprise a lot of people in 2016, I guess you could call him a sleeper.
