    The FO has stated they're not done making moves. I believe that.
  2. dex8425
    Paddack has already had TJ.
  3. dex8425
    How many innings did Ray throw in ST games? Any idea how deep he could go in the game if he is rolling?
  4. dex8425
    No way the Twins were going to go 7 years on Berrios. That's why he was traded. I do wish the Twins had signed Rodon for what SF gave him, or even Greinke on the Royals' salary.

    My point was not specific to Josh Winder necessarily, just that Manaea is a league average pitcher in terms of ERA. A league average pitcher is not super difficult to replace. Ryan was better than that last year (in a small sample size, of course).
  6. dex8425
    Manaea is a league average pitcher, with one year of control for a relatively high salary. That's why the haul was low. Manaea doesn't give the Twins anything in 2022 they couldn't get from Josh Winder, except more depth. That's why the Twins didn't trade for Manaea. Paddack's ceiling is way higher (I mean, look at what he did in 2019, he was the Padres opening day starter in 2020).
  7. dex8425
    Paddack had a really good FIP last year. He was the Padres opening day starter in 2020. He's 26 and was a top prospect. He's projected to throw 130 innings with an ERA in the low 4's in 2022. That's more innings than you're going to get from Rogers this year. Add in the cheap cost controlled 2023 and 2024 and that's why baseball trade values lists Paddack as much more valuable than Rogers. Rogers is a free agent after this year. Paddack will be in the rotation all year. Bundy and Archer will not.

    Sonny Gray is gonna win the 2022 Cy Young, lets go!!
  9. dex8425
    They must be thinking somebody like Jhoan Duran will be pitching high leverage innings in that spot by the end of April. Duran's stuff is every bit as good as Rogers'
  10. dex8425
    Yep. Back mid-season would be best-case scenario. Should be able to throw innings in August, Sept and Oct.
  11. dex8425
    Paddack is projected for 129 innings with a 4.4 ERA, so I'd say most people assume he will be good this year. And he's cheaply cost controlled until 2025. San Diego is certainly selling low on him trading him right now. He was a top prospect who was awesome his rookie year in 2019.
  12. dex8425
    And the bullpen was actually better in the second half last year, when Rogers was out, right?
  13. dex8425
    Ugh, Balazovic is hurt already?!
  14. dex8425
    Well we also gave up Garver so it was essentially Garver, Donaldson and Rortvedt for Urshela, Sanchez and salary relief to sign Correa. Seems like an upgrade to the Twins overall, given the amount of games Garver and Donaldson would realistically play this year with their injury history and age.
  15. dex8425
    I think he really had no idea and was just being a troll or a hater. Maybe he was thinking of someone else. Gray is legit. Would be a playoff starter on any team in MLB.
  16. dex8425
    Did you realize that Archer pitched in Tampa last year? He barely pitched because of injury. When he did pitch, he wasn't very good. I don't think he'll suddenly become 2015 Chris Archer again. But really all we need from him this year is 120+ innings with an ERA somewhere in the 4's and I don't think that's too much of an ask. His stuff looks good.
  17. dex8425
    Gray was very good last year and every year with the Reds, actually. He actually had more WAR than Berrios in 2021.
  18. dex8425
    As long as Buxton, Correa and Polanco are on the field, I'll take the over on the vegas 81 win prediction for this team. Yep, the rotation is suspect, but it can't possibly be as bad as last year, and we have arguably the best up-the middle in MLB. AK for a whole season and Sano in shape will help too.
  19. dex8425
    He started real slow last year too. Hope that doesn't happen again because with the current schedule we really need to make hay in May and be above .500 by June 1 so the FO doesn't sell at the deadline.
  20. dex8425
    Yeah he wouldn't move the needle much for me. Last two years Manaea was basically a league average pitcher-that's valuable, but is it really a lot more than we could get from Josh Winder? Or Drew Strotman? Or Cole Sands? Or Devin Smeltzer?
  21. dex8425
    Rooker was awesome in 2020, then broke his wrist when he got hit by a pitch. Last year he was terrible but also played hurt, supposedly.
  22. dex8425
    Was about to mention Colon. Also had R.A. Dickey, but he was here BEFORE he was good.
  23. dex8425
    I have been following it too. Love pretty good episodes especially. I forgot if they mentioned anything about 1986 Stieb though.
  24. dex8425
    My two takeaways: 1. Wow, Ryan only had 12 strikeouts? 2. What happened to Dave Stieb in 1986? Led the 1980's in pitcher WAR (by quite a bit) and 1986 is a huge anomale-7 great seasons before 1986 and 5 good seasons after 1986? If he isn't awful in 1986 he's probably in the HOF now. Injury?
  25. dex8425
    I was going to say Sano isn't THAT bad defensively but then I looked at his defensive metrics from last year. He is second to last in MLB in 2021 among first basemen with negative 6 outs above average. Max Muncy is at plus 7, so if you put Kiriloff at 1b every day, theoretically you're gaining about 10 runs over the course of the season. Kirilloff was at plus 2 but fewer opportunities obviously.
