    Good news, we seem to have a new Canterino named Charlee Soto.
  2. bean5302
    I don't consider him a prospect anymore. Not sure what there is to be intrigued about when he strikes out 45% of the time in Ft Myers.

    Your co-worker thinks.. scouting reports... Well wow, guess guys like Mookie Betts and Jose Ramirez are actually bad at baseball because their scouting reports. Next time I'm at a game where they're playing, I'll just hold the scouting reports up of guys and yell "scoreboard!" So in a desperate Hail Mary! now I'm dismissing my favorite player on the Twins from the era? No, Neto's numbers (career wRC+ 107) are not similar to Kody Clemens (career wRC+ 89). Like, dude. Welcome to the ignore list. Thanks for wasting my time.

    Please stop digging. What you're posting is absolutely ludicrous at this point. How can you even write this stuff seriously?

    Well, just so long as we're not using statistics, physical skill set or experience as ways to evaluate players and we instead rely upon things like how they look to determine they're hopeless. Also, as a tip, you can generally check social media to see how his wife is looking that day to determine Royce's confidence level and how he'll play that day.

    and you base that on he made an error that one time or something? Not that I'm a fan of Lewis at 2B in particular.

    The Twins' moves make an impact on the bullpen's likelihood of sustaining it's performance. They'd certainly outperformed themselves thus far. Minnesota is ranked 17th in WPA, but much lower in actual and expected metrics. The chances the pre-deadline bullpen would be able to keep preserving games at such a high rate was long. Feels really similar to 2010 when the Twins acquired Matt Capps. Jon Rauch had been getting it done, but making things awfully interesting in the process.

    Matt Wallner, next SS for the Minnesota Twins because... positional versatility!!!! Talk to me about positional versatility when fielders are actually good at the positions we play them.
  9. bean5302
    Here is Zach Neto for the experts who've never watched him play, but know he's a bad fielder. Depending on your metric, either Neto is an exceptional shortstop, a below average shortstop or a bad shortstop. Brooks Lee adjusted for Neto's innings based on seasons 1-3 DRS = -3, -18, -22 OAA = -7, -2, -16 FRV = -7, -2, -13 I haven't watched Neto which is why I defer to the the metrics. Metrics I've actually took time to learn about unlike most people who absolutely steadfastly support a particular metric they don't understand. OAA/FRV didn't exist in Gagne's era. Neither did DRS, but DRS is a lot closer to the TZ factor used to evaluate Gagne.

    The WNBA makes more headlines than they have fans.
  11. bean5302
    Emmanuel Rodriguez was activated 7/28. The fact he's still on a rehab assignment in the low minors weeks later is worth questioning. Seeing such an extended time in the low minors for a guy who's been in AAA for 3 years feels pretty extraordinary. There's nothing for Emma to do down there or learn. I guess maybe they'll put him on the Saints today since Emma is already in Iowa?
  12. bean5302
    MLB continuing to work hard to alienate the fan base. Apple TV, Amazon, Netflix, Twins TV, MLB.TV, Youtube. All you need is like 7 different subscriptions to watch baseball.
  13. bean5302
    @Dave Lemke care you expand on your disagreement?
  14. bean5302
    The Gausman thing eats me up. Gausman over Kramer makes so much sense.
  15. bean5302
    I think the Twins had tunnel vision. I like adding Taylor Ward, but I'd rather have moved Josh Bell and at least one outfielder if the Twins acquired Ward.
  16. bean5302
    Zach Neto's last 3 years are better than any Twins shortstop since Roy Smalley by fWAR. If you go by bWAR, Zach Neto over his past 3 seasons would arguably be the greatest Twins shortstop over 3 years in franchise history. Glad everybody is convinced Culepper and Houston are guaranteed MVPs and all, but...
  17. bean5302
    Under the current CBA, Zach Neto can be forecasted at 3.5 WAR for 3 more years. So about $90MM of future value. His salary is probably going to be something like $6MM, $10MM, $15MM or $31MM over the next three years. $90MM - $31MM = $59MM. Walker Jenkins might not be enough on his own. Of course, teams don't trade away their #1ish prospects in the top 30 for players who aren't game changers, so Jenkins was a reasonable ask by value, but not a reasonable pay for Neto. The Twins were probably trying to package a deal around more lower graded prospects, but balked when there wasn't a bargain to be had.
  18. bean5302
    It's honestly Pohlad's fault. He agreed to sign these players knowing full well they weren't MVP-ready yet. Like, when he's running fielding drills, does Tom even correct the mistakes?
  19. bean5302
    Agreed. That giant head on top of a bi-pedal body is just a recipe for balance issues.
  20. bean5302
    Looked just like the Twins vs. Astros playoff games in 2023.
  21. bean5302
    I really don't like this format. If TD wants to manufacture the debate, it should be in a better format with bite sized pieces in a single article going back and forth like a real debate. I know I've participated in a similar format this in the past, but it just doesn't resonate with me.
  22. bean5302
    Joe Ryan probably drops in at $25MM assuming 8MM per year. Given arbitration is light on the pay, I think $20MM is probably ball-parkish. He's consistently been a 3 WAR pitcher, and it certainly looks like he'll be right at that this year. The problem is he's not worth any big trade value if he's making $20MM and he's got $25MM of value production, is he? $25MM value, $20MM salary. $5MM trade value. You're talking like a #10-15 org prospect.
  23. bean5302
    Lewis is still making adjustments, and the line drives are showing up, but his pop up rate is still too high. Still, he's hitting the ball extremely well over his past 20 games, and he was already hitting well the 20 games before that. I'm not sure what his ceiling is anymore. Also not concerned with a 24% K rate. Median average for MLB qualified hitters is 21%.
  24. bean5302
    He's a shortstop every day unless Houston gets a call. Then the question is 3B or 2B.
  25. bean5302
    He has been just recently. That's the thing with SSSS data. A little change here or there has a big shift. I just don't see how Roden fits well on the roster right now given how heavy the Twins are on left handed bats and the Twins firmly committed to the platoon game.
