  7. Ouch. I just counted and, at a glance, there are 14 pitchers in MLB who have pitched primarily in relief (under five starts total) and have seven or more wins. FOURTEEN Ouch.
  8. Wins as a stat are pretty useless but good pitchers still accumulate them more often than not. And the team lead being a total that wouldn't surprise you if a good middle reliever posted that number over a season is... yikes.
  9. Because it’s not a development thing, it’s a LHB thing. Pick your favorite lefty hitter and go look at his OPS splits. There’s an overwhelming chance that lefty has a .150-.200 OPS split between RHP and LHP.
  10. Why, though? Astudillo’s career OPS against LHP is .140 higher than Arraez’s OPS against LHP.
  11. Arraez, like most lefties, is not good against LHP. His OPS this season is like .620.
  12. Both were free agents years ago, though. The Twins wouldn't have either unless they signed them at free agent prices.
  13. Yadi may be smiling on the outside but on the inside…
  14. It should also be noted that trading Buxton makes the pitching staff quite a bit worse.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t received the call due to 40-man roster decisions the move requires but let’s just say that I, uh, strongly disagree with that reasoning.
  20. But do you want to say Gibaut?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
