    It's the middle of winter. No one is expected to use their brain in February.

    Great post, welcome to Twins Daily!

    I'm pretty much over Max Kepler and the acquisition of Joey Gallo isn't my favorite but going all in on "the best defensive outfield alignment in MLB" isn't the absolute worst idea ever. I just wish it wasn't built around two infuriating-to-watch lefty bats.

    He's had constant issues, can't remember the details. I think he only crossed 100 IP in one season... maybe 2021? And that was split between the minors and MLB.
  5. Brock Beauchamp
    It is. I'm really skeptical of Ober being able to pitch one full season, much less multiple full seasons. He simply hasn't done it.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    I have no idea but given his size and delivery, I suspect a move to the bullpen won't be all that beneficial for him. So I'm fine trying run him out there every fifth/sixth day for awhile longer to see what happens.

    Well, I see all of you wasted NO TIME AT ALL learning how to hammer that "disagree" reaction.

    This article is satire, just so you know.

    Gleeman has stated they have punted on the question but that could just be them assuming somebody is going to get hurt before it becomes a real option.

    In 2021, the Brewers were wildly successful with a six man rotation and would have done it again in 2022 if not for injuries. In 2022, the Astros were wildly successful with a six man rotation. Honestly, I think the bigger indictment of the front office is that they're not strongly considering a six man rotation.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Ober has an option remaining, though, and it's unlikely all six guys make it to Opening Day healthy. Personally, if that magically happens, I'd open the season with a six man rotation.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    I hate the idea of moving Ober to the pen and suspect the front office feels the same way. I'm pretty okay with Winder going to the pen.

    Phil Miller reported that Twins President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey said the bullpen is not a priority right now. The Twins did a good job of addressing the bullpen at the last trade deadline and shuffling some pieces led to the Twins being middle of the pack overall. But given the acquisition of Carlos Correa, Joey Gallo, and Pablo Lopez, this feels like a re-hash of previous offseasons, the last two of which has gone very poorly for the Twins in regards to fielding a good bullpen in the first half of the season. Given the availability of marginal but solid relievers and the low cost of acquiring one as insurance against Jorge Lopez, Griffin Jax, Emilio Pagan, and others, I don't see why this decision is being made once again.

    Sarcasm aside about Joey Gallo, he's a good upside play but on a roster that still doesn't need his offensive profile. Trade Kepler and the Gallo deal gets a lot better.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Point: Give Joey Gallo a Chance Counterpoint: no

    I think wRC+ does a slightly better job balancing offense but as you said, the difference between wRC+ and OPS+ is often so small it doesn’t matter. I also like FG’s defensive metrics and options better than BR. I rarely use BR for anything if I’m looking into defense.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    For WAR and wRC+, I like Fangraphs. If I'm in a hurry and just want a general view of a player or I want easy access to splits, I use B-Ref. If I'm really digging into a player and want to know how each piece of their toolkit grades out, Baseball Savant.

    Heh. I actually learned this last night while reading a novel. Always fun to realize you've been doing something wrong for about 35 years.

    My feeling is what's happening is that people are (rightfully) upset about losing perhaps the most fun player to watch in baseball and trying to justify that feeling with his batting champion status. I'm super-bummed Arraez will no longer be a Twin. He made baseball, a spectator sport, more enjoyable to spectate. But I'm comfortable couching that feeling in the fact that this trade seems pretty fair and balanced and is probably a good baseball decision. Others seem to want to find a way to justify their emotional attachment to Arraez using a rather arbitrary metric of "batting champion", which I don't think is really necessary. It's okay to just say "I liked watching Luis Arraez play baseball" and that is a perfectly fine reason to not like the trade.

    Dee Strange Gordon had a .776 OPS when he won the batting title in 2015. Jose Altuve had an OPS around .830 one of the years he won. I get your point and it's valid but batting champions having an OPS in the .800-.850 range isn't terribly uncommon. And Arraez's .795 isn't all that different than .830, especially adjusting for run environment. Arraez's 130 OPS+ is identical to Altuve's the first year he won with an .830 OPS. Arraez is a good BABIP guy with decent isoD and very little slugging. It certainly minimizes his value, especially at first base, but those guys winning the batting title isn't a unicorn event. It says more about the value of "batting champ" than Luis Arraez, really. If Arraez finished the season with an 0-for-8 and Judge passes him, no one throws a fit over losing the "runner-up batting champion".

    I suspect Lewis immediately goes to the 60-day. Why not? Unless I'm horribly mistaken, 60-day IL returns at the start of Spring Training. There's no way Lewis is ready for a Major League roster by the end of April.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    They took over following the 2016 season. Their first pick was Lewis in 2017.
