    I don't really do predictions, especially when so many variables are in play. I expect this team to lose around 90. Maybe less if they only trade expiring contracts, almost certainly more if they trade expiring contracts and non-expiring contracts like Berríos, Buxton, and/or Donaldson.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Depending what kind of offers I'm fielding for Berríos, I may not even look ahead to 2022... though I'd probably make an attempt to be moderately competitive next year no matter who I trade. It's going to be really hard to be competitive without Berríos but I'm not sure I'd be able to resist two top 100 prospects for 1.5 years of the guy, only one year of which might be even a little bit useful to this team.

    Where are you looking? I see a 0.1 fWAR and a 0.8 rWAR. (but yes, he has been disappointing)
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    Now I really want a catcher in round ten just to complete this series of posts.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    If that's true, we should be excited to see whats-his-face join the Twins sometime around the 2037-38 seasons.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    It has been fascinating to me how quickly Pittsburgh elevated to "pitching gurus" and plunged to "hot mess" over the course of 3-4 years, tops.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I was looking into that just a little while ago. Those 70s Twins teams really had "mediocrity" nailed down. They rarely finished outside the 3/4 slots in their 6-7 team divisions.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Not that it really changes your overall point, as the Twins were mostly mediocre/bad in the 70s too, but the powder blues originated in the early 70s.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, he'd have to OPS .400 for a month before I'd even *consider* sending him back to St Paul.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Well... that's.... optimistic. I'd lop off about ten wins off that season total. I think they'll play relatively close to .500 but they're going to lose too many good players this month to make any kind of push.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Yikes. BP's predictive modeling only becomes more broken as the season progresses.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Have there been any reports on who the Twins might be targeting at 61?
  13. Brock Beauchamp

    I've rarely felt strongly about specific draft picks in any sport, even less so about baseball. Too much that we as fans just don't know about these kids to have a real opinion about them.

  14. Brock Beauchamp
    The last thing I EVER want is for my favorite team's draft coordinators to draft as if their job is immediately on the line. Woof, that would lead to some truly terrible outcomes given how the MLB draft works and the timeline it operates on.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Failures of past front offices should have little to no bearing on the actions of the current front office.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I understand the desire to see Gordon play more but we aren't within a country mile of "ridiculous", in my opinion. The trade deadline is in less than three weeks and the Twins are pretty obviously showcasing pretty much their entire roster for possible trade candidates. In the here and now, that is the right decision. Nick Gordon should not be playing over the likes of Arraez, Kirilloff, Larnach, et al for obvious reasons. They're all better players and building blocks to the next good Twins team. Gordon also shouldn't be playing over the likes of Sano, Cruz, Simmons, Donaldson, et al because if the Twins can trade those guys in the next three weeks, they will eagerly do so. Teams don't maximize trade value of a player by not playing them in the lead-up to the deadline. Be patient. There is a full two months of baseball after the deadline. If Gordon isn't receiving significant playing time in those two months, I'll likely be standing right next to you in the "ridiculous" camp of arguments.

    I’m updating the original post with all the latest draft articles as they’re posted, btw.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Exactly. There are two full months to fill a lineup with question marks after the deadline. Right now, it’s about showcasing trade pieces.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Getting eight out without giving up four runs is a tall order for this bullpen.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    30 MLB teams can use a catcher that hits like Garver but right now it’s unclear when he will resume catching.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    There’s the Robbie Grossman we know and love.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    The balk rule is perhaps the dumbest rule in a sport chock full of dumbass rules. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    See, I think Garver can bring a haul by himself if the front office times it right, which probably means this off-season or next July.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    If someone is willing to pay big for Garver right now, trading him is fine. I’m just skeptical anyone will pay a premium right now after the up and down of the past 1.5 seasons.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I don’t necessarily want to see Garver traded, I just don’t want to see Rortvedt play.
