    Also not like it's some young top prospect and they need to protect his arm. We're talking about a first ballot HOF'er at the end of his career. You let him make the decision-so he's not coming out.

    Graterol has only thrown 67 innings his entire MLB career (including the innings with the Twins). Maeda threw that many in 2020 alone. Graterol wasn't very good last year either.

    That curveball was especially unfair. Paints a 100 mph 2 seamer that starts a foot outside down and away, then throws a splinker down and in, 97, then a FB up and in at 100, you're out.

    Wow. That stuff is electric.
  5. dex8425
    Sonny Gray does it too.
  6. dex8425
    Those are the two guys most likely to NOT beat Ray.
  7. dex8425
    No. Marlins ORG.
  8. dex8425
    Suarez did NOT see that last pitch at all though.
  9. dex8425
    Would be huge to get 2 more innings from him.

    If we have Graterol, do the Twins make the playoffs in 2020? We certainly don't win the division then. Maeda was the second best pitcher in the AL in 2020 and that was only because Bieber was incredible. Pressly hurts, because although Celestino and Alcala are both MLB pieces, I think we gave up 1.5 seasons of control of Pressly. Jury is still out on that one.

    I hear what you're saying, but if Paddack had pitched well last year then he would've cost the Twins Lewis, Balazovic, and Rogers. He would then be Frankie Montas, basically. EDIT: and I would not hope the Twins would trade Rogers, Balazovic and Lewis for Montas.

    I will miss Garver and Earth Wind and Fire:(

    2006- 10.1 2008-9.8 2009- 11.3 2010-10.6

    If this list included pitchers, Johan and Mauer combined for 13.4 WAR in 2006.

    I'm going to be optimistic and think that Buxton's sense of security after signing the extension somehow keeps him healthy. Twins MVP Byron Buxton Twins Top Pitcher Sonny Grey Twins Most Improved Max Kepler Twins Top Rookie Joe Ryan Gold Glove Winners Correa, Buxton Silver Slugger Winners None Twins Record 85-77 (2nd place)

    The FO has stated they're not done making moves. I believe that.
  17. dex8425
    Paddack has already had TJ.
  18. dex8425
    How many innings did Ray throw in ST games? Any idea how deep he could go in the game if he is rolling?
  19. 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.
  20. dex8425
    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).
  21. 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).
  22. 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!!
  24. 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'
  25. dex8425
    Yep. Back mid-season would be best-case scenario. Should be able to throw innings in August, Sept and Oct.
