Professionally, we've always used "reversion to the mean" regardless of direction (out-performance or under-performance)

Sounds like the remainder of Spring Training will be suspended

Was in the Bat-cave and the hyperbole alarm went off - had to stop in and see what was happening.

Have we decided yet if Rocco is honest or dishonest?

Very interesting perspective - thanks for this

Yes. And the solution is obvious - if they were smart they would trade prospects and MLB level players for other prospects and other MLB level players

What hat will Graterol wear on his HOF plaque?

I can call success whatever I want to. If the Twins make the playoffs adn I am alive at the end of the season, I'm happy.

A thoughtful article and well written but why would anyone think you were out to dunk on anyone who put out opinions or analysis that shed a negative light upon Rosario this winter? Seem like all opinions should be able to co-exist here and such a disclaimer should be unnecessary.

Seth, thanks for the reminder on Olsen. Looking forward to seeing his progress.

Somebody seems obsessed with NIck Gordon. Getting uncomfortable.

Other than wins, how would you measure a team? By height?

Can we still blame the Twins?

I think you may have said this previously, but I am interested in your source. Most things I have seen have been, as best, educated guesses.

I love this deal! And the best part is when the deal is finalized it means that the Dodgers had no problems with the medical info, putting the lie to the Cheating Sox claims. Hopefully also silencing their bandwagon fans who try to explain how baseball works, even though they aren't aware that the game existed before 2004.

I am familiar with most of these words, but in this order, they don't make any sense to me

Seem to me that the Dodgers would be more interested in young bats than almost MLB ready pitchers. Getting the cheating Sox out of the process may benefit the Twins.

I nominate this for best first post ever

That was your main takeaway?

100% convinced that the bullpen is good enough, and deep enough, to be an asset.

Passion is the Philadelphia excuse for throwing snowballs at Santa. Pure BS

Man, I hate to see Elizabethton on this list. They seem to have been there since forever.

I laughed when someone said this thread was "relatively balanced" I'm still laughing

Good call
