    It seems kind of silly to argue over how much Dozier will get in the offseason when we have no idea if he’ll end the season as a .750 or .850 OPS player.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    This doesn’t make sense. When one of your best offensive players slumps, your offense will struggle. When that player does well, your offense will improve. You’re blaming Dozier for the bad but giving him no credit for the good. Which is particularly weird because you keep bringing up Polanco, who has not been very good in a SSS and much worse than Dozier over the same stretch of time (much MUCH worse).
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    Yep. Good pick up but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree with your point, but... Mike Moustakas' career fWAR (12.4) is roughly comparable to Dozier's 2016-17 fWAR (11.2). Again, come on.

    I was mightily unimpressed with the Kiriloff draft pick but everything I've read in recent months is "beast mode". It appears he may be legit.

    A pitcher cannot pitch himself into a save.

    Seriously. We're talking about Dozier signing a $5m per year contract for three seasons. Let's bring this back to the original statement and consider the absurdity of it. If we want to talk whether he'll get $8m per for two seasons, I guess that's a conversation we can have but it's likely still wrong. Even in a depressed market, Dozier is a $10-12m player easily because seriously, he's a five win player. GMs are not stupid. One will find a way to fit a player like Brian Dozier into their lineup for $8m a year. At least one will also do it for $10m a year. Even if Dozier ends this season with a .750 OPS, I'd toss him $12m on a make good season because why the **** not? People simultaneously accuse GMs of being idiots and brilliant. Taking on Dozier for $12m in a season (literally 80%+ of the three season total originally posted) is a no-brainer because you're paying less than 10% of your payroll for a potential 4-6 win player. That's a risk you take every day.

    Well, the team is doing what they need to do on this home stand. Win the first two against the Rays, then just play for a split. That puts the team in a really positive position going into the ASG. I'm not overly excited about this team's chances but I want to see them be competitive.

    His floor is Addison Reed money if the season ended today. Dozier was worth 11 wins in 2016-17. Besides, Addison Reed money is considerably more money than Thrylos was talking ($8m per versus $5m per). Dozier's probably going to get a lot less than he wants but teams would have to be crazy to pass on a 3 year, $30m deal if he ends the season with another 4-ish wins (which is entirely possible given his recent stretch of play).
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Dozier is not going to get less than Addison Reed money. Come on.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    I meant it for the win. The team looks hapless against some of the worst teams in baseball, then goes out and beats Boston, Cleveland, and last night, one of the best pitchers in the league. It's just maddening when taken as a whole.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Nick Gordon has a .600 OPS in Rochester with an isoD of around .020. Um, no. Not yet.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I know it’s a cliche to say a bad team is aggravating but damn, this team is so aggravating.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    It's way too early to count on anything in either direction, though the obvious take is that the Twins are close to out of it. But Cleveland isn't exactly a powerhouse this season, anyway. I'm perfectly content to see the front office sit on their hands for two more weeks and then reevaluate. Maybe you try to move Lynn early and replace him with Romero, that's fine. But there's nothing to be done right now, anyway. If Dozier is truly on fire, his value only climbs over the next couple of weeks. I'm interested in retaining Escobar so I'm in no rush to move him, particularly if he's drifting back to a .750-.800 OPS, which is probably closer to a real evaluation of his skill level and makes it easier to keep him in the offseason. The bullpen pieces won't bring enough back to make me care. None of them are good enough to be a July 15th trade anyway. They're a last-minute trade at best and you still probably get nothing worth mentioning for any of them. I want to see what the Twins have in them over the next couple of weeks. Maybe we are pleasantly surprised by the results but I'm not holding my breath here.

    Yeah, the left field aspect of the ball has two elements worth noting: - The runner gets a VERY good look at the ball and fielder - The fielder has to make a 50 ft throw, not a 150 ft throw Again, that play was all on Morrison and there’s a good chance it cost the Twins a shot at the win. Kennedy couldn’t pitch and a four run deficit can be overcome in 6-7 innings (can’t remember if it was the second or third when it happened).
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    That wasn’t 20/20 hindsight, as I called it as it happened, saying “NO!” as he rounded second. 1. Alex Gordon has an arm on him. 2. Logan Morrison is very slow. 3. Never make the first out at third base. 4. The team was down by four runs. 5. Logan Morrison is very, very slow.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Exactly.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    I notice you conveniently left out the 24 games in June where he posted an OPS of .497.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    He's destroying AAA pitching to the tune of a .709 OPS. That's below league average. From a 27 year old DH.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I have no real interest in watching Morrison swing a bat again but Vargas has been several shades of bad in Rochester. How do you think he'll do in the majors?
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Coulda turned that into a triple, Jake.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    That was all Morrison. The runner, especially a veteran, is not looking to the coaches for direction on a double to left field. That's on him.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    This just reeks of the Twins letting a really bad pitcher off the hook all night.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    Gee, it could have been first and second, no outs. "Never make the first or last out at third base." Little League stuff, fellas.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Jesus ****ing Christ. I hate this team so much. No outs, you jackass.
