    There is a theory out there (google "The Verducci Effect") that increasing a young pitcher's workload by more than 30-ish IP from one season to the next increases his chance of arm problems in the following season. Meyer had, I believe, less than 120 IP total in 2013. That's where the supposed 150 IP limit in 2014 comes from....to hopefully reduce the risk in 2015.

    How does having Meyer pitch in Rochester instead of Minneapolis provide extra protection to his arm?
  3. USAFChief
    As has been pointed out, if Meyer finishes the AAA season, he'll be at or near the presumed 150 IP limit.

    In year four of consecutive 90 loss seasons, this is the type of move the Twins should have to make? Patching holes with waiver wire castoffs? Castoffs with no chance of being an actual asset? Shouldn't there be some actual talent to try by now?

    On that, we agree.

    I would prefer the Twins invest some thought, time, energy and resources into figuring out who the players are on a championship caliber team, rather than farting around hoping someone improves enough to be an acceptable fifth outfielder. What do they really hope to gain by adding Jordan Shafer to this team?

    It's 1250 PAs spread out over 5 seasons. .222/.307/.304

    That the Twins, in year four of consecutive 90 loss seasons, are claiming Jordon Shafer in August, and he will most likely end up on the 25 man roster, does not say anything good about the status of the "rebuild." In fact, it is a pretty damning indictment, IMO.

    You've looked at lots of video, right Parker? Is this slight difference in front foot placement consistent, or is it simply the difference in a swing off a RH pitcher on a pitch tailing in over the inside corner, and a swing off a LH pitcher towards the outer half of the plate? I don't know, of course, but I'll admit to skepticism that a small change in the placement of his front foot is going to have a long term, big influence on his hitting skills. I could be wrong...I hope so.

    If that's the case, make it the nightcap, please.
