    There are ridiculous outliers in every scenario. The majority of Twins fans will be patient enough with him if he struggles. But that's aside from the point of the post, which is how long it has been since we saw a rookie pitcher truly succeed.

    It's not about being impatient, it's about the desire to see something different than being terrible through a rookie season. No one called for the demotion of Berríos in 2016, no one will call for the demotion of Winder if he's not great.... but it sure would be nice if he was great. As Twins fans, we sometimes need to remember that rookie pitchers don't have to be terrible.

    I’m legit excited to see Winder’s debut some time this season.

      Duran's the guy I'm anxious to see

    Ah, good point about Ober. How’d I forget him in just one season?

    What I mean is that Francisco Liriano stepped into a Twins uniform and pitched.... well. Very, very well. The dominance of the 2000s Twins was largely fueled by their ability to regularly call up a young pitcher and have that pitcher actually contribute to winning baseball games in their rookie season. Liriano was a beast. Scott Baker pitched to a 133 ERA+ his rookie season. Kevin Slowey was just slightly below average. Carlos Silva had a 112 ERA+ the year he came to Minnesota. Whereas a hallmark of the 2010s Twins was utter and complete failure from their rookie pitchers. Trevor May had stats that resembled a dumpster fire. And somehow Jose Berríos managed to be worse than May. We could run through the list of pitchers but it'd just make us all nauseous. With Winder, Woods-Richardson, Balazovic, and Sands all potentially making their debut as starters in 2022, is this the year we finally see a rookie pitcher don a Twins uniform and not spend a season falling on their face?

    Oh, I know, I was just being sarcastic in return. I don't have anything against Archer - in fact, I probably like him the best out of the remaining/recently signed options, including Pineda - but there were lots of better options that went off the table months ago and we don't need to beat that dead horse again. I still firmly believe more significant gains should have been made earlier, even if they weren't super-splashy.

    I think it’s pretty safe to say Tampa won that trade.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    I don’t really care for this deal but another pitcher was mandatory and I guess Archer is as good as anyone else available.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I mean sure, if people want one.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I pretty much agree with this... and I think the expanded postseason makes this less of a pressing issue. I think Oakland is mis-stepping here a bit (and who even knows what the hell Cincinnati is doing).
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm starting to lean away from them getting any of the A's starters. I think the price is too high for this front office. Though it wouldn't surprise me at all if they find a way to acquire a starter not in Oakland for something less than a king's ransom, even if that pitcher isn't elite or even that good.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Must-see TV, perhaps?

    Some of you may start seeing rumblings about this site and wonder to yourself "why does this look so similar to Twins Daily?" Well, it looks like Twins Daily because, mostly at the request of me personally as a former Wisconsin resident, I wanted to buy a Brewers forum and build it out as we've done with Twins Daily. Since living in Milwaukee for a year just before returning to the Twin Cities in 2010, I've followed the Brewers pretty closely and am quite a fan of the current front office and team. https://brewerfanatic.com/ So that's a thing we're doing now. It has been pretty fun bringing a bunch of new features to a different fanbase and we're really excited to give Brewers fans an all-in-one-stop site to enjoy their fandom, just as we've all built here at Twins Daily. So if you're a Brewers fan, head on over, create an account, and join the discussion. The forums are well-established and one of the best Brewers resources on the internet, there's a lot to take in.

    Oh, I never listen to anything Boras says. He's a self-aggrandizing windbag. He's also incredibly successful and possibly the best agent in pro sports but whew, is he a weird quote and an unreliable narrator.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    This has no relevance to literally anything but what the hell, posting it just feels right.

    Robbie Grossman videos can still be found on YouTube.

    I'm assuming Kirilloff is the starting LF and have assumed that since the end of last season. I'd only reconsider if Larnach mashes while Kirilloff struggles. The gap would have to be large for me not to hand Alex the job on Opening Day. As for fourth outfielder, don't get me started. I would have non-tendered Cave months ago and then signed a RH bat that could play a legit CF. I don't like what the Twins have done here, not at all. Not only is Cave a bad CF option, he also can't hit, and he also bats left-handed. There's literally nothing to like about him on this roster.

    I chose Gordon but woof, he has looked absolutely terrible this spring.

    This season will be frustrating but baseball actually addressed its issues pretty well with the new CBA. The fact that MLB will be able to implement new rules in 2023 and only have a 45 day window (formerly a full 12 months) to implement rules changes is quite promising for the sport as a whole.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    And that's what we do at Twins Daily. If you have a reasonable request, we make it happen. And honestly, thank you for the constructive criticism. This is the type of feature that wouldn't have occurred to me in isolation but it's a reasonable request and one I was happy to implement as a site improvement.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I don’t like the zombie runner but I also don’t understand the outrage over it. I think using it in the tenth us a mistake but really have little issue using it for the eleventh or twelfth.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Remember, journalists need spring training, too. They can't just get up to game speed with a "BEST SHAPE OF HIS LIFE" article the day after pitchers and catchers report.

    @Strombomb I just implemented the change that if someone is a gold caretaker, the videos no longer auto-play. They appear static with a play button. No more sticky videos in the right hand corner of your screen.
