Ah, in that case, Graterol definitely has the advantage due to service time, doubly so now that Maeda is out for 9-12 months.

I was referencing Gunnar saying Graterol would have the nicer career, not who "won" the trade. Though I think, in the end, both will be satisfied with the trade. But as of right now, the Twins probably received more from the trade, as it's hard to see them winning the division in 2020 without Maeda.

Doesn't Dobnak replace Maeda? Or did someone else replace him?

Graterol needs to start pitching A LOT better very quickly if he’s going to top Maeda’s career 13 fWAR. It’s really quite difficult to accumulate value as a reliever. For example, even someone like Craig Kimbrel has only 19 career fWAR.

So far, Ryan is as advertised. And what a glorious mane.

Interesting. So there’s a chance he may pitch next season.

My most-anticipated Twins game since Opening Day!

Nash Walker's podcast Locked On Twins is a really good daily take on the Twins. You should check it out.

It's kind of amazing how Minnesotans extend their "yeah, you betcha" attitude to elite athletes.

Fair enough! Though my personal point was significantly more nuanced and deserves recognition as such.

White and gold are fine, it's the use of a stroke of gold that makes it a bad design decision. It's just messy, confusing to the eye, and generally bad.

Not sure, but I have serious opinions about the gold in Twins uniforms. It's awful from a purely design standpoint. Not even opinion, literally how humans translate color. It's terrible and embarrassing from a billion dollar organization.

Were they white or cream? I always thought they were cream. But also, great unis, possibly the best the Twins have worn.

By the way, everyone. There have been four runs scored in this game so far. The game is going to clock in at four hours, or close to it. One run per hour is thrilling baseball. CHANGE THE ****ING RULES AND MAKE PITCHERS THROW IN 15 SECONDS MLB

The red unis with the TC over the left chest are my favorite uniforms. The TC logo is just so ****ing good.

Glen, that didn't take a perfect throw, that was a bad choice to run.

The Twins have had a load of walk-off wins. The number of wins Brock has seen? Zero. And this is pretty amazing, given how I watch about half of their games.

See? I can't even call what bull**** will happen if I watch after the eighth inning but I can guarantee bull**** will happen.

I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS AND IT BOTHERS ME

By the way, I just want to let everyone know that I'm watching this game, which means nothing good will happen. It's been a thing all season.

Though that's kinda how sports work because there isn't a sliding scale of points as there is in racing. Personally, I love the fact that baseball just makes you ****ing grind out 162 and the winner gets an advantage. On the other hand, I also love that grinding out racing schedules and never winning can lead to a championship. So I guess I just like grinding.

But the opinion and communication of the point is still yours, which is why I just PMed you about laying your thoughts out more comprehensively. Do any of us work in isolation? No. But you choose to distill your information efficiently and effectively. And that's a real skill, one you should explore.

Agreed across the board, thanks for the analysis I couldn't be bothered to do.

I don't know if that's as possible today as it was during most of Butera's career. Drew was an excellent framer when there were few excellent framers, which led him to a successful career. That isn't really the case anymore, though I suspect someone like Rortvedt could see the same kind of boon if MLB automates umpiring, which will re-prioritize someone like Rortvedt with a strong arm.
