    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.

    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.

    You can’t really answer in a vacuum- who else might they have to protect? That’s the first discussion to have.

    In that case, consider me entirely unqualified as well.

    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.
  27. arby58
    No brainer. I would have put Gomez at #2.

    I’m good with this in theory, but the 1B free agent group isn’t all that promising.
  29. arby58
    The Clemens walk off was incredible. The Twins were two outs and down to their last strike on each of the batters that got on base as well as Clemens. I can’t recall a more improbable Twins comeback with two outs in the ninth inning trailing by three runs.
  30. arby58
    His was a promising year, and the Twins were correct in keeping him in the starting rotation. That said, Taj Bradley was the best story of 2026. His 2026 is what Connor might aspire to achieve in 2027.
  31. arby58
    Hard for me to figure out what Bradley needed to do more of to earn an A. He was durable, a strike out machine, and routinely hit 100 mph as a starter. Led the team in wins, ERA, Ks, games started, innings pitched. It’s an odd grading system that ranks Anderson’s small sample performance as better than Bradley’s.

    There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

    Not true. Literally thousands of US data centers that support cloud computing and sites like Facebook, Instagram, X, Google, navigation systems, email systems, etc. AI is the bright shiny object but data centers are not new - and your world would be dramatically different without them.
  34. arby58
    You’re able to visit this site and access its videos and make comments because of data centers. They aren’t just powering AI. They power the cloud as well.

    I’d bet more pitchers successfully return from TJS than TOS.
