    Gisbon may have been a solid starter last year (mostly for one month), but there were signs he was trending down (like his ERA of 5.22 in the 2nd half). It's why I kept saying towards the end of last season and early offseason that we should trade him while he was still looking decent because this year we were likely to see him perform quite a bit worse. Admittedly, I didn't expect him to be THIS bad (yet he is somehow still our second best starter in a rotation that was so talented it didn't have room for May)

    Yes, A thousand times yes!

    For what a team gets out of Santana, he is under-paid. There's value in getting a pitcher of that quality for two years at 28M (two years at 13.5 plus 1M buyout). In the last 6 seasons, he's missed out on being worth at least 18M once, and that was last year when he was suspended.

    I should have given the link when I stated what I did. My bad.

    Exactly. Doing a rebuild often hurts. And it's not like having Dozier and Santana has stopped us from the very real possibility of having 100+ loses. Some seem so committed to trading off vets for prospects, except the good vets that might actually net us prospects worthwhile. The fact that we are a ways off and guys like Dozier and Santana are really good is exactly why you trade them. Need to trade for more youngsters that will hopefully be good whenever the time comes when we are actually relevant again.

    Dozier has done really well batting first, but even better batting 4th and 5th (though batting 5th has a pretty small sample size).
  7. jimmer
    Ah, the rotation built so well, Trevor May couldn't crack into the rotation this year even after his performance last year :-)
  8. jimmer
    I'd be right with you on a majority of those listed.
  9. jimmer
    The last 11 games kind of shows maybe the lousy start wasn't quite as out of line as one might have originally thought :-)
  10. jimmer
    raises hand
  11. jimmer
    do you mean the other 12? :-)

    Defense isnt the only factor that effects the difference between FIP and ERA
  13. jimmer
    Good thing we know better than to judge defense by errors. Kepler has 3 DRS. He is not a detriment Out there.
  14. jimmer
    One more problem: Horrific defense.

    There were like 3 whole threads created for the sole purpose of slamming 'negative posters'. Maybe that'd be a good place to do that instead of hijacking a thread where Nick wrote some things about this team to discuss?
  16. jimmer
    but he still managed to boost his OPS by 140 points while playing in the minors?
  17. jimmer
    Well, he did quote the great philosopher, Obi-Wan (lines written by the well known writer of dialogue, George Lucas, to prove a point :-) Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche and Obi Wan Kenobe.

    Yeah, Hughes had one outlier season and TR jumped all over it. His fall back to reality in 2015 was predictable. In fact it was predicted. And the Sano decision was horrible from the on-set and it failed for all the reasons given before he ever stepped foot out there for a game.

    I'm curious why everyone is rushing to say Park's problem in the majors was his injury. Did he not have the same injury while posting an OPS in the .820s in the minors?
  20. jimmer
    not only that, but your articles are most often very much on the optimistic side as well. So once in awhile, your articles are less than optimistic and you get slammed for it? Some people on here don't want to face reality.
  21. jimmer
    Um, er, ummmmmmm.
  22. jimmer
    I like to approach topics and ideas from a realistic point of view. Like to face it head on. Let's me enjoy the good baseball times even more when they arrive.
  23. jimmer
    Well, one of the realities is this: In four of the last five full seasons the Twins have lost at least 92 games. After a season off from that futility (at least record-wise), we are now looking at a very real possibility of finishing with triple digits losses. Is there any way my attitude and mind set will change that?
  24. jimmer
    Park was a bad idea for multiple reasons. Logjam at the spots he plays, Sano is moved to RF in part because of him joining the team, and of course his main problem: tons of strikeouts. It was his problem in Korea, his problem in the majors, and his problem in AAA. He managed to produce in spite of them in AAA and Korea (in other words, inferior talent).but against the best competition (MLB), he couldn't. It was an injury stopping him in the majors but he managed an OPS 140 points higher in AAA? Bad, bad call. And the dominoes fell.

    i would have prefered to have been greatly and overwhelmingly wrong :-)
