    It would be nice to see the Twins counter this by announcing a Berrios, Garver or maybe Rogers extension. Those are core players that should be around long term.

    Maybe the coronavirus can "cure" the a@*-backwardsness of viewing MLB games via TV/Livestream ... I hope it isn't necessary, but it's possible that there will be a spell of fanless games in at least some markets. Maybe that will force the league/teams to really revamp how they deliver their product via various media channels.

    And now Mercado .... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/03/indians-oscar-mercado-mri-wrist-injury.html

    The lineup is for sure legit. I'm a fan of Ohtani, but he's been the Buxton of the Angels. Tease me with elite talent and then hit the IL. Ohtani has ten career starts and will be on the IL (as a pitcher) to start the season. Seattle is the only whipping boy in that division, so it will be a tough road for sure. Maybe the White Sox will get back to the post-season sooner than we think/hope.

    Angels are interesting, but if we think the Twins have pitching problems ...... Canning outlook doesn't help that position at all. They basically need Dylan Bundy to turn into an All-Star to save the staff. I'd probably take Oakland for that other WC.

    It will be 60th season weekend, so they might have to be 60 cents.

    (Pushes a briefcase full of cash under the table to Cashman to keep said Strength and Conditioning coaches in place)

    Yeah, according to gameday there are more defensive substitutions than pitches in the later innings ...

    Gonzalez showing that "he don't need no stinkin' trashcan!"
  11. MMMordabito
    Interesting .... Pitchers with similar velocity and decent Bauer Unit numbers appear to be Tyson Ross, Jon Lester and Sean Manaea. The key may be to stay healthy. Ross has been an injury nightmare. Manaea is in danger of trending that way too. All three of those pitchers would be welcome to a rotation if they were 100% healthy and without the history. Lester is obviously getting up there in age, but he's had a great career.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/john-oleruds-daughter-jordan-dies-at-19-after-battling-rare-disease/ar-BB10AX8I My heart goes out to John Olerud and his family. I'm sure this will be dark time, but I'm hopeful they'll have the support they need. It sounds like his family has spent a good deal of time and money supporting others with similar conditions to his daughter. I hope that will lift them up. Very selfless.

    Great article ... It's fine if some get dunked on. There were way too many cast-off opinions of Rosario this off-season. Selling low would have been dumb just to make room for a prospect or the shadow of Kevin Pillar. Healthy Eddie should be out there every day, but there is no reason to ask or allow him to play injured with Gonzalez and Cave available. I know the Twins won't be able to sign everyone, but Eddie shouldn't be immediately dismissed for not helping some achieve full SABR-gasm.

    I would be all for a longer summer baseball break. That's what the All-Star break is for me. 3-4 days to turn off baseball and know that I'm not missing anything. The celebrity of the players doesn't intrigue me, so watching them play Top Golf is total non-draw.

    "To who this may concern! I’ve left camp for a week or 2 for personal matters. I’m healthy and excited for this year. I’ll be back shortly. Love you all #MNTwins" I hope all is well with the lefty and his family.

    Where did you get those numbers? Fangraphs shows a -5 DRS for CF. Statcast shows a -2 OAA for CF. He only got to 2 OAA overall because of RF play.
  17. MMMordabito
    Tommy John recommended for Severino Good Luck, Luis. Get back into form just in time for your Yankee tenure to expire. Well played on the extension.
  18. MMMordabito
    I'm actually happy Pillar signed with Boston and not the Twins. His defensive value has been declining for four years straight. If you could guarantee 2016 or even 2017 Pillar, I'm all ears. Unfortunately, I don't think a bounceback year in range, etc. usually works that way with age.
  19. MMMordabito
    Eight more off-seasons and he'll pass Joe Mauer on the Twins all-time list for spring training reports in the best shape ever.

    This was an interesting read and very well presented. I would just have a hard time moving starting pitching depth given the uncertainty of what that depth is supporting. Also, watching New York and Cleveland already dealing with pitching injuries gives me further pause. I guess Stashak for Almora would be fine, if that gets it done. Is a Rosario, Almora, Kepler alignment a measurable upgrade to Rosario, Kepler, Cave? Other than the right-handed bat, I'm not sure. Would Rooker be a better lefty-mashing 26th man with options? Celestino is already on the 40. Do you let him be the defensive insurance policy while knowing he may be drinking from a fire hose at the plate? I like the ideas of exploring value at a cost-effective time and looking to cover holes that may open as this season unfolds.

    In the garage watching the game and throwing snowballs at the commercials ... Berrios looked good.
  22. MMMordabito
    If you remove the player from the thought, I find it incredibly easy to feel good about bad things happening to the Yankees.
  23. MMMordabito
    I hate reality TV, so I would be against anything involving it. The last thing baseball needs is producer schmucks trying to create senseless drama.
  24. MMMordabito
    That's what I call a backdrop!
  25. MMMordabito
    Now add Carrasco to the pile. Keep that bug in Goodyear/Cleveland and away from Fort Myers/Minneapolis.
