  6. Both were free agents years ago, though. The Twins wouldn't have either unless they signed them at free agent prices.
  7. It should also be noted that trading Buxton makes the pitching staff quite a bit worse.
  8. Denny Hocking? I seem to recall he was a pretty decent centerfielder in the early 2000s, though I could be very wrong about that. edit: I looked and wow, Hocking played very little CF. I guess that isn't super surprising with Hunter on the roster. He had a lengthy streak of healthy play for a few years there.
  9. Listen to Viola on a broadcast for five minutes and you’ll discover his utter disdain for modern analytics. He isn’t shy about it.
  10. Can the Twins pitching compete in 2022? Sure. Make all the right decisions, spend the right money, and develop internal options quickly. Is all of that likely to happen?
  11. Every team in baseball had multiple shots at Andrew Albers and none took the plunge. He had to go to the KBO *and* NPB, for crying out loud. At that point, it becomes quite clear what the Twins were thinking. They were thinking the exact same thing all 30 MLB teams thought: Andrew Albers is not a very good pitcher.
  12. Agreed but that means Barnes and/or Smeltzer need to go. I don't care which of them they keep but having three soft-tossing lefties is a waste of roster space. Keep one, two at most.
  13. I will consider it a massive failure if they trade Buxton, the kind of thing that would make me want to see this front office dismissed. I don't care if it's the right baseball move or not, I want to see Byron Buxton in a Twins uniform for a very long time. He's the kind of guy a fanbase can rally around, like we SHOULD have rallied around Mauer but didn't.
  14. Congratulations to Andrew Albers, I'm happy he finally received another shot at playing in Major League Baseball. If they want to keep him around for a little bit, I guess that's fine. They can remove Gant and Barnes from the rotation and put in players with a future in an MLB rotation.
  15. Ian Gibaut. Really? REALLY?!?!?!

  16. John Gant shouldn't have started once for the Twins but I'll give them one shot at making a mistake. But by god, JOHN GANT SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED A SECOND GAME. My patience is all but done with this front office. We see increasingly feeble offerings from the pitching staff while nothing is done about it except throw more bad options at the wall and hope that maybe, just maybe, one of them will not pitch well but maybe pitch to an ERA under 5.00. What a colossal waste of every fan's time this season has been.
  17. Take this tidbit of information and store it in some back closet of your mind, ready to come out whenever anyone implies that 1980s (and earlier) baseball was anything other than incredibly, incredibly stupid. Yes, it was more fun but it was also incredibly, incredibly stupid.
  18. I *hate* the fact we are watching Gant start another game and are going to see Albers again soon. Gross.

      Don't look now, but he's on the schedule for tomorrow vs the Cubs ... 

  19. The only pop-up on this entire site is Twins-related video created by Twins Daily's staff but you do you, I guess. And even that pop-up video only loads 10% of the time on mobile and 50% of the time on desktop. The rest of the time it's a static entity that doesn't follow you on the page.
  20. Weird, I don't recall saying anyone has done a good job or that this pitching staff as a whole has been anything other than a trainwreck.
  21. I protest! The real low-hanging fruit was making a Wes Anderson and The Royal Tenenbaums joke. I showed extreme restraint in my reply and demand that you acknowledge it, good sir.
  22. Holy overpay, Batman. While either pitcher would be great and I'd love to have them, according to rWAR, Arraez has been more valuable than either in 2021 (and Luis would only be 50% of your package) and Arraez has more team control than either pitcher. I'm all in favor of slightly overpaying for a good young pitcher but I'm not going to hand away $100m in future value in return for $40m in future value.
  23. Believe it or not but Davis wasn't only worse, he was MUCH WORSE. This season, Colomé has a -2.0 WPA. In 1986, Ron Davis had a -3.2 WPA. EXCEPT THAT WASN'T EVEN HIS WORST SEASON In 1984, Ron Davis had a -3.5 WPA.
