    The stats say different. below average arm, way below average stolen base %. J Ryan Murphy was bounced down to AAA for poor hitting...but basically hitting like Castro's average the past three years. And JR is a better defensive catcher AND actually a better pitch framer. (And I'm NOT a JR Murphy fan)

    What position do the Twins expect him to play?

    I can't believe the article didn't bring up the fact that Falvey has already improved the pitching staff by signed a weak hitting, poor defensive catcher.......who can frame the S out of a pitch. : )

    How much will Falvey help? To sum up the article with a two word answer...... "Not much."

    Well said!
  8. Miraclebat
    Yeah...but how does he frame a pitch? Probably ....pretty darn well!

    Umm, Always, read that again? The girl...it is Terry Ryan's granddaughter. Falvey's way of keeping a link to the past.

    to be sure, some of the "misuse" was out of necessity....but Molitor has made a lot of questionable decisions that leave you scratching your head (Danny Santana the last two years,) which leads me to believe that Falvey and Molly ultimately won't end up on the same page.
  13. Miraclebat
    Seems like several of these guys had numbers that suffered from "misuse." I think Molitor will have a short leash this year. Another guy I can see gone from the organization is Trevor May...he never has been able to put it together and the new regime has no botched trade connection to him as an incentive to give him one more try.

    How can you not be optimistic? With the poor defense but excellent pitch framing abilities of our new catcher......I think you can realistically bump up each of these pitchers scores by at least two full letter grades! (yup...tongue in cheek.)

    Agree with this except for the fact that Castro is generally a poor defensive catcher who also can't hit. He is an excellent pitch framer though. He is below average throwing out base runners, passed balls, etc. But....he is a hell of a pitch framer.

    Why all of the caution as far as innings "build up" is concerned. Any good HS pitcher pitched over 120 innings in high school and then summer ball. Unless they were injured (Jay,) it is a crime to have our top prospects throwing so few innings in the minors.....especially when several of the other 5-6 starting pitchers on those clubs would be clasisfied more as journeymen and/or have no real shot of making it above AAA.
  19. Miraclebat
    It also makes me cringe when I see all the love for May. His upside is a 4.5 ERA and a #4 starter on a good team. Moving him to the starting rotation...back to the bullpen...... He should be thankful he has no options to be sent to AAA.

    That seems like a contradiction...it would be a bigger story if Minneapolis was NORTH of Toronto...which it isn't. The even bigger story is that Seattle is NORTH of Duluth! This is the reason the Mariner's catchers are poor pitch framers!
