  1. The groin injury is certainly true and hurt him during the middle of the season but after he came back, he pitched to a 4.79 ERA in 35.2 innings. His FIP was over 4.10 as well.
  2. Joe Ryan has a career 102 ERA+ with a 95 ERA+ in 2023. He's 27 years old. He's a #4 starter on a good team until he puts it together for more than a couple of months. Bailey Ober is even older at 28. He's older than Pablo Lopez. Yes, his ERA+ is markedly above average but he's also pitched fewer than 300 innings in his career over three seasons. Availability is a skill and while I think he's maybe a decent #3 if you squint a little, he won't cement himself as an above-average pitcher until he pitches 150 innings in a season or even multiple 100+ inning seasons in a row.
  3. No worries at all about the snark, sometimes it's hard to read through the internet and try to guess intent.
  4. I run sites for three different teams. Watching the Twins isn't even close to the majority of baseball games I watch anymore. Last year I watched more Brewers games than Twins games.
  5. I think they're appropriately rated. They're two pitchers with upside and question marks. With Ryan, he needs to show that his pitch mix and stuff plays for an entire season. With Ober, he needs to show he can stay on the mound. I think I have slightly more confidence in Ober at this point but it's close. Also, no way in hell do I put them 30/31 if evaluating them in the actual baseball sense and not fantasy. I've have to spend the time to really break down the list but I'd be a little surprised if either of them were in the top 60 or so.
  6. How dare you disrespect Josh Staumont in this manner
  7. So it turns out that our master server is getting hammered by bots. If you're unfortunate enough to be allocated to that server, that's why you're seeing site slowness. We're working on it and hope to have it resolved by tomorrow.
  8. I'm getting reports on this on all three sites. I think one of our server instances is struggling, which explains why it's normal for most and dreadfully slow for others. We're looking into it.
  9. I get your reasoning and why, I'm just salivating at the thought of robbing the hapless Rockies.
  10. There is no organization I'd rather pluck a pitcher out of than the Rockies. They have no ****ing clue what they're doing, I'd happily take an A-ball guy the Twins like for a payoff in 2027.
  11. Ken Rosenthal reported today that the Seattle Mariners are still looking for an infielder to bolster their offense in 2024. After a quiet start to the offseason, notorious wheeler and dealer Jerry Dipoto has been active in the past week, making notable trades with both the Giants and Rays. Like the Twins, the Mariners are facing television uncertainty, recently taking control of their regional sports network, Root Sports. Jorge Polanco and his short-term, cost-controlled contract status should be appealing to Seattle. The 30-year-old Polanco is under contract for $10.5 million in 2024 and has a $12 million team option for 2025. View full rumor

  13. Thomas Harding of MLB.com reported today the Rockies are interested in acquiring a lefty-hitting outfielder, preferably one who can play all three outfield positions. Max Kepler hasn't played center field in a few years - and reportedly doesn't like playing the position - but is widely considered capable of being a spot starter up the middle. With only one year remaining on his contract, he's a relatively low-cost addition that could shore up the Rockies' lineup while also covering enormous ground in the spacious Coors Field grass. Additionally, the Twins also have Trevor Larnach waiting in the wings and now at 26 years old, he needs a chance to play on a consistent basis. Should the Rockies balk at Kepler's salary or prospect cost, the Twins could consider moving Larnach in his place. View full rumor

  15. I reuploaded those broken images, let me know if you see them now.
  16. They did vote all at once, the votes had to be in before New Year's Day, I believe (or somewhere close to that time). Writers are only deciding whether to make their votes public right now, all votes have been cast for a week.
  17. Huh, weird. Again, those are in place on the server, no idea why they're not rendering.
  18. Interesting, thanks. I'm looking in the admin panel and those images are definitely there, could be a local issue. If this is still happening to you in say three-ish days, pop back into this thread and let me know, I'll investigate further.
  19. As a long-time SoCal resident, I also feel this way about "Cali", a term I've never heard come out of the mouth of an actual Californian.
  20. Some of you may have noticed your avatars are broken. The weirdest thing happened... they just disappeared from the server. They're not in any of the backups, they're just gone. If this has happened to you, just upload a new avatar and it will work as expected.
  21. This hasn't been updated in awhile. 100 ballots now in for 28% of the total votes. Adrián Beltré 98.1% Joe Mauer 83.2% Todd Helton 83.2% Billy Wagner 80.4%
  22. I don't know if Larnach has much value at this point and Miranda has certainly cratered, at least temporarily. Personally, I'd keep both and trade both Kepler and Polanco. Maybe Larnach is never good again but it's something I'd like to find out before trading him for little to nothing. And I think Miranda is going to bounce back nicely with the bat, though he's still a defensive albatross.
  23. Welcome to 2024, everyone! Can the offseason start for reals now? The Twins have made no moves of note thus far in the "hot stove" season and it's still expected they will trade infielder Jorge Polanco. MLB Trade Rumors wrote an excellent breakdown of Polanco's best landing spots so check it out. The piece highlights the Blue Jays, Cubs, and Mariners as the best fit, as they're including Polanco as a potential third baseman in their evaluation. For example, the Cubs already have a dynamic duo up the middle in Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson but also have a gaping hole at third base. In the following tier - we'll call it "good fit" - the piece talks about the Brewers, Giants, and Marlins. The Brewers are of particular interest in this conversation, as they're floating the idea they will move Corbin Burnes this winter. View full rumor

  25. We happened to have a brief discussion about this and while there's a lot more to talk about, small changes will be coming to how we manage caretaker content. Don't know when it will happen, though. This time of year has many of us pointed in different directions as we prepare for the Winter Meltdown, plan Spring Training, launch new features, etc.
