Worley and Bucholtz are not on the same level, and surely not close this year. Pitch count is an individual thing. I think we've seen that Correia is only useful until about 100. Pelfrey's got 70-85...

I was curious too. After a good last year, a hyped spring, and now this, I thought the Twins might really be able to use him. But the fact is we're not in a hurry. He's not really a prospect, he's...

The relative downside is not even remotely close to the same. If you sign a guy like Willingham for example, which by all means was NOT an expensive free agent contract, you're on the hook for $21...

jharaldson - a .39 correlation!? That's way lower than I would have guessed. Thanks for running the numbers.

I may not be adding anything, but Oxtung is quite correct. Probabilistically and assuming 1:1 payment for comparative value, the general managers who chose better pitchers given the entirety of the...

This may be entirely my fault. I must learn to exercise restraint. I will do better in the future.

Mea culpa.

Also true. But now we have proof!


Yeah, science!

You have 60 posts right now. I'd hazard a guess that at least 40 of them are exactly this. We get that you don't the like "roto." We get that you want people to throw faster than 90 miles an hour. We...

So Kevin Correia, Scott Feldman, Jeremy Guthrie, and Carlos Villaneuva were the good gets while Edwin Jackson, Joe Saunders, Dan Haren, and Shaun Marcum were busts?

There are two possible...

He MAYBE gave up a lot for that financial security. If I were he, I'd do it too.

Confidence in yourself is no substitute for reality, and reality is fraught with injuries, ineffectiveness, slumps,...

Unless there's someone in the high minors we can plug in to replace him. I understand Chris Herrmann hasn't been hitting much, but Josmil Pinto is doing very well in AA. And depending on what Doumit...

Not as bad this time, but I don't think you can send him back out there for the 8th. We have some idea now that Correia's max effectiveness is roughly 6 to 7 innings.

Frankly, I'm surprised this...

True. Team stats aren't going to mean much when something like 10% of these guys will make it to the Twins.

I wasn't trying to call you out or anything; I just thought it was a good picture.

I saw that guy last night driving a panel van near a school zone!

Oh wait, that's Morneau? Oh, okay.

Random question for Seth. Who took that picture? Where did it come from?

This makes a lot of sense. I've mentioned this before, but the Twins are on record as saying they don't think you can overpay in dollars (I assume within reason - e.g., no 1-year $100 million...

There are positives and negatives to all of these guys. Plouffe's got spotty defense and he's streaky, but his overall hitting stats are nothing to complain about. Dozier needs to show more at the...

Think it's a physical thing? At 5'8" and 165, I doubt he looks the part.

Anyway, I'm no expert on him, but that jumped out at me. Fair or otherwise, it may very well be the major factor here.

The strikeouts are worrisome, but he's hitting doubles like it's going out of style. Frankly, I don't know what to think, but if he's normalizing at a .341 average, I'm not in a position to complain.

I dunno. I realize there's more than one way to skin a cat, but my thought is that you only go to a six-man rotation if you have six good pitchers. I'm not sure an extra day of rest is going to cure...

Ah, Gob. I can't help but think of him every time I hear "The Final Countdown."

So I assume you're at least as excited as I am about the new episodes? I have a friend from one of my past lives in...

Looks in thread...

I don't see how he's an upgrade over Liam Hendriks.
