    Come on, Mitch.

    A funny little Arraez stat: This is his 42nd MLB game. He hasn't struck out in 31 of those games.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    He did it once against the Yankees. That is the only game he struck out twice.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    So that Gallen kid can pitch.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    So now we're 23 hours from the deadline and after a quick scan of MLBTR, still absolutely nothing of note. Come on, this is boring...
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    If the team is confident enough in him to call him up for September, they'd be damned fools not to wedge him onto the roster on August 31st, just in case he pulls a K-Rod. But I'm skeptical they're really interested in calling up a 20 year old and having him pitch late into the season after he had shoulder issues.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Oh, I'm sure the Mets asked about him. But this entire situation feels like you're listening to every other sentence of a conversation. You can pick up bits and pieces and understand fragments of what is happening, but you're definitely missing key components. I'm still not even clear if the Mets demanded both Lewis and Kirilloff, much less anything about the Buxton talk.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    It is interesting they didn’t get him. If I recall correctly, they were in on him but he ended up in Miami, who everyone knew was going to be terrible. I wonder what happened.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Unsurprisingly, no big trades overnight. But we're now just 32 hours from the deadline and the only real trade of note is the weird Stroman deal. Quite the deadline.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree the Twins need more depth - quite a bit more - but there are at least ten other teams vying for maybe ten good arms this deadline. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the Twins to outbid those teams and land roughly one-third of all arms available at the deadline.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I also want the front office to be more aggressive in this regard but Graterol is rehabbing a shoulder issue. That’s probably not the guy you get aggressive with late in a season.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Expecting a team to go get three arms better than Romo in a single deadline is wildly unrealistic. Two arms better? Maybe, and that should probably be the goal. One arm better? Certainly realistic and probably the most likely outcome.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Could they use him? Maybe. Will he be ready for MLB hitters or will they want to trigger his 40-man roster activation? Unlikely.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    So it’s 8:30 eastern time. It’s likely that front offices are shut down or shutting down for the evening. When we wake up tomorrow, we’ll be about 35 hours from the deadline, have seen one (!!!!!!) significant trade in all of MLB, and that trade has half of all analysts scratching their heads in confusion. What a bizarre deadline and if things don’t start moving early tomorrow, I think it could turn into a buyer’s market as lesser talent has to be sold off quickly for fear of missing out entirely.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    He'd be claimed this year. In 2017, he was a chunky, mediocre first baseman in low A ball. In 2018, he was a really bad first baseman in high A ball (as in "under .600 OPS" bad). In 2019, he's a slimmed down pretty good defensive first baseman with an OPS of .900 split between A+/AA. That guy gets claimed, for sure.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    One minor concern I have about Swainzag and Sconnie is their post count. They're long term members of TD but neither has crossed 5,000 posts. Is this a concern or am I overthinking it? It's possible being a mod makes them more likely to post often but I can't say for sure.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Okay, some of these names have reminded me that I don't pay enough attention to user screen names so I'm going to recuse myself from voting and will act in a vetting role only. Okay, so the three leaders appear to be: Swainzag: I have vetted his recent posts and full support this choice. Sconnie: I've actually met him and he has posted here long enough that I don't really need to vet him (but will anyway, in case I've missed anything recently). Hosken Bombo Disco: I view him as a pretty good poster but can't say for certain without vetting his posts. I doubt there will be any significant issues but I'll do it anyway. So how many moderators do we want, anyway? I was originally thinking two but that was just a number I pulled out of my ass, to be frank about it. If you all think three is a better number, we can do that (and that's assuming they all accept, which they may not).
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I think it’s just an odd year, especially with the Mets being crazy and San Diego considering getting in on the fun, too.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    We’re 48 hours from the deadline and Stroman is the only big name to move. Can anyone remember a deadline coming together this slowly?
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    There are reasons not to love Stroman, lots of them. I’d still take him, though. But given how the front office seemed so lukewarm on him given their reported interest, there’s probably something they don’t like about him (also notice the Astros appeared to have no interest as well, not a great sign).
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins have been involved in more rumors than I’ve ever seen before and everyone good not named Stroman is still on board (which is weird in itself, really). I’d be shocked if we don’t see one more good relief arm come to the team. As for the postseason, the Twins are close to a lock. They’re five games up on the second WC and have literally the easiest schedule in baseball through the end of the season. But without another good arm, they could easily end up in that WC game, which would be a pretty big failure in itself.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, almost a zero chance on Buxton, I think. Rosario might happen. It depends on the return, which I think is a big hurdle to overcome. Corner OF don’t bring a lot back nowadays unless they’re elite. Rosario is simply good.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Sure, a margin of error exists... but it exists in both directions. It’s equally likely that Cron is a two WAR player that it is he’s a zero WAR player. Therefore, I go with the number listed next to his name, which puts him as maybe a slightly subpar starter. And I’m not even sure I buy into that but baseball offense is so batty this season that it’s hard to wrap my head around what is good, bad, or average. It doesn’t help that B-Ref has him valued so differently.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I’d alter the second list a bit depending whether the Mets want Lewis or Kirilloff but this looks pretty good to me.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Though, as someone else pointed out on the forum, swapping a reliever with the Giants for Schoop makes a hell of a lot of sense. They have Solano playing well right now but Schoop is a better player. If the Giants are going to make a push, that could be a good way to do it.
