    They both put a premium on speed and defense, and that not Arraez.
  22. arby58
    There’s a huge difference between hitting singles in baseball and catching touchdowns in football. If all Arraez does is score runs you would have a good analogy - sadly, he does not.
  23. arby58
    I’m a no on this. Arraez does one thing really well: he gets on base. He does the next thing - actually score runs - not nearly as well. He was tied for 102nd last year in runs scored with 67, and that is not an outlier for him. He rarely is anywhere near the top in MLBB runs scored. Arraez is mostly a singles hitter who does not run well, and in his age 30 season next year, that isn’t going to change. Kody Clemens is a better fielder, baserunner, and power hitter than Arraez. He scored more runs (72) and had a similar WAR - and he makes a lot less than $16 million. Play him there and figure out other team needs with the saved $16 million.

    Paddock was younger and a starting pitcher. Don’t see them doing that with a relief pitcher.

    You’re definitely a glass half-full guy. Nothing wrong with that, I just see them each as more than half empty. To the Twins credit (IMHO) they don’t just hang onto Banda because they traded for him.
  29. arby58
    If they would have put him in the pen already last year who would have made his starts? The Twins were seriously thin in starting pitching, and they were already rolling the dice on Prielipp staying in the rotation. If Abel had been available I might have agreed with you.

    Rod Carew was ROY at age 21 and never looked back. He should have been prodigy number 1.
  31. arby58
    You can’t look at overall team records for starting pitchers who only pitch every 5 games. The Twins were 1-9 when SWR started, and he wasn’t a hard luck loser. He was just a loser.
  32. arby58
    You can’t really answer in a vacuum- who else might they have to protect? That’s the first discussion to have.
  33. arby58
    In that case, consider me entirely unqualified as well.
  34. arby58
    I think there’s some recency bias with Gomez. He converted 21 straight saves, then had two blown saves to end the year. That’s still a very high percentage, and if they had come anywhere else but at the end, he would have been an easy number 2 and in the conversation for number 1.
  35. arby58
    No brainer. I would have put Gomez at #2.
