  1. I think the biggest difference is that Posey was still catching until the end of his career. Is that fair? Probably not, but such is life...
  2. Just FYI, Eddie tied the record for most hits in a LCS with 14. The other players did it in 7 games.
  3. No. There are plenty of players to give DH at bats to. The odds of him continuing to to defy father time are less every day. Spend the money on Buxton/pitching.
  4. This won't go over well with most here, because the majority are into all the analytics stuff, Launch angles, spin rates blah blah blah. I love Eddie because he isn't some perfect robot that a lot seem to want players to be. I love Eddie because he's not F'n boring.
  5. "If we are so good at tweaking" .... that's the 64,000 dollar question. Are we REALLY any good at tweaking? I think the jury is still out on that....
  6. How do you know this is a down year for him? Maybe his first 400 or so at bats were the outlier and not the norm. His stats are on pace to decline again from last year. The power that some thought might materialize hasn't happened. He has no speed so he has to hit a lot to be valuable.
  7. The problem is he is below average wherever you put him in the field. That basically makes him a DH...
  8. If Cruz is "mentoring" all these players, why aren't the results there? Polanco, Kepler, and especially Sano haven't shown any improvement...Frankly, I think the "mentoring" thing is way overrated...
  9. Why would Tampa replace a younger player OPSing .872 that actually has a little positional flexibility with an almost 41 year old player OPSing .858? We will get very little for Cruz...and I highly doubt it will be from Tampa Bay. They have shown over the years that they are probably the smartest front office in baseball....
  10. So in other words, a bunch of stuff i don't really care too much about.....thanks for the info though. I mean, i can see if a ball is hit hard or not with my own eyes. whether it was at 100 mph or 102 mph makes no difference to me....
  11. I rarely get to see a game because of the Bally Sports North BS, but they are really measuring the speed of a freaking relay throw? Ridiculous... I couldn't care less the speed of a throw. Did it get the job done or not, that's all I care about. I guess i'm the old man "get off my lawn" guy at this point....
  12. Not trying to be a jerk, but paltry means small or meager. I don't think a 7.83 ERA qualifies.....
  13. Well, you are going to have to accept a bag of balls for Sano. He has no value.....
  14. Why do a lot of these articles keep looking back to the 2019 season? it was 2 years ago and not really that relevant to 2021. It was a freak season where the ball was juiced and all the stars aligned for the Twins. Not likely to have that happen again...
  15. The only correct answer is it's too early to tell........
  16. Now that Rosario is gone, it looks like Astudillo is the new polarizing Twin....
  17. if you look at the MLB.com stats, they have included his spring training stats into his total. So, it's not accurate.
  18. Good for him. A bird in the hand..... He and his family are set for life no matter what happens. What was that deal Duffy made a few years ago with his contract/earnings? I can't remember the details.
  19. he OPS'ed .756 at AA. not bad for Florida, but not earth shaking either. Let him prove himself at AA/AAA for a few months. Frankly, Rooker has earned his shot. Let him run with it or fail....
