    If we signed Darvish, then would you be ok with this trade?
  2. amjgt
    Most of the time, I think that's just an easy crutch by a writer. But, I have to think that some percentage of the time it is true. Maybe one of Levine's main tasks was coordination with Japanese media. Maybe, in the same way that the MN Twins FO splits other MLB teams and player agents roughly evenly between Falvey, Levine, and Antony, Texas did the same thing and Levine has Darvish's agent.

    Also, how incredibly fascinating would Tim Wakefield's spin rate pitchFX data be? I assume I could look at it for hours. "Oh, Shiiiiiiiiiit!!!!!! He got one in single digits!!!!!!"

    I'd be interested to know what the bell curve off MLB average spin rate looks like. Those two numbers don't really mean anything to 99.9% of people that follow baseball

    Yeah... I wonder if the FO earmarked $60M that we saved (over 4 years) by trading for Archer instead of signing Darvish, what they could do. It could be used for literally whatever they deemed necessary to build back the farm system assets that were used to get Archer. Basically they'd be buying comp picks, and Intl FA money, and have a full willingness to take on contracts with 1-2 year left, from teams like Miami who are begging to shed payroll. How much does a Comp A pick "cost" How much does $2M in Intl FA pool "cost" If we literally had $60M to play with could we end up with 5 comp A/B picks? How big of a Draft pool salary cap could one team amass? Nobody has tested those waters. Why not be the first?

    I can't remember the last player/team the national media thought the Yankees DIDN'T line up well with

    This is the kind of unsubstantiated opinion that makes me roll my eyes (no offense). At age 24, in 2013, Chris Archer was the 44th rated minor league prospect, after a 2012 3.8 ERA at AAA, with around 9.5K/9 Nobody would've said that 2013 Chris Archer's ceiling was actual Chris Archer's performance Pitching is fickle. I think talking about pitchers' ceilings is silly. There are too many examples every year of "WTF" to convince me that modern analytics have a great handle on pitchers. At the end of the day, results matter. Certain previous results can indicate likelihood of future success, but ceilings of successful minor league pitchers still seem more art than science. Having said all that, I have NO PROBLEM trading either of those minor leaguers for Cole or Archer

    And yet, someone who signed a minor league deal last offseason, has just been declared the best FA reliever of this class
  9. amjgt
    I mean, if you go strictly on what they paid him, he should be around Enlow. Realistically, in an open market, as is the case with Intl free agents, you'll have to overpay a bit. So he's probably 4-5 spots worse than Enlow

    I like the idea of an increasing value on WAR 1st WAR - 3m 2nd WAR - 5m 3rd WAR - 7m 4th WAR - 9m 5th WAR - 10m So... a 2 WAR player would be worth 8m annually and a 4 WAR player would be worth 24m annually Maybe my escalation numbers are a little low, but you get the idea
  11. amjgt
    I'd guess mid to high teens
  12. amjgt
    I would say Lewis on 3rd, Polanco on 2nd, and Gordon at Short

    Did I miss when Rooker hit like Babe Ruth? It's such an incredibly small sample, for a college graduate, in leagues he should dominate.... and he still struck out 26% of the time. I mean, I like him as a prospect, but I feel like there's serious Rooker overhyping going on here (and yes... I know the "rooker is my whole top 5" post was a joke)
  14. amjgt
    Just for the sake of argument, let's say Darvish and Ohtani sign here on the same day... That passes Parise/Suter, right? I would argue, other than actual championships, it's the biggest moment in MN Sports history.
  15. amjgt
    I could have sworn there was a limit to the amount of FA money you could trade for (or trade away)
  16. amjgt
    Dozier: was that outside? Ump: (sheepish shoulder shrug) yeah, like a foot
  17. amjgt
    Chapman officially more two hand catches than Rosario this season. Wanted to make sure he secured that toss back from Sanchez
  18. amjgt
    Make that 8mph
  19. amjgt
    Chapman... only 4mph hotter than Hildy
  20. amjgt
    Then... Dylan Gee for the close?
  21. amjgt
    Pffft... Gimenez isn't burned yet
  22. amjgt
    That was a mercifully quick bottom of 8, for those of us that have mentally committed to watching until the bitter end
  23. amjgt
    Did Molitor just fire Granite?
  24. amjgt
    Missing the base? Can't make this up
