Twins GFP's Achievements

  1. Truth #6: Despite everything and everyone, the Twins are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. If they decided to do ANYTHING to bolster the bullpen, they would be fighting for the division.
  2. I have been ok with most of the changes baseball has implemented over the years, but this decision is a train wreck. Taking a popularity contest and putting something so important as WS HFA as a result is truly sad.
  3. Considering he isn't on the 40-man, it is highly doubtful he will get an opportunity without a couple of injuries. Odds are more likely he will become a free agent after this year and go somewhere he will have a better opportunity
  4. And each team is going to use some combination of those numbers (and privately more) putting more weight on what they believe is more necessary or accurate. SDI is nice for the general fan to get an idea of how MLB players are viewed defensively. It would be nice if some ambitious programmer/web builder were to amalgamate the MiLB information into one spot to give the fans something to go off of. That person is not me... Thanks for the legwork!
  5. It would be interesting to know why there isn't a (public) SDI for MiLB. The metrics seem to be available. Even if it is a sample size issue, I would imagine there is enough interest in 2A and 3A to make it doable.
  6. The initial quote I was responding to insinuated they sit Larnach for Roden so they could trade Larnach. I could have read it wrong, but that is how I took it.
  7. Could be fun, especially with his proclivity for story telling... I just don't want to listen to his attempts at calling Twins games on the radio.
  8. So bench Larnach and his 122 OPS+? If they are going to trade Larnach, then trade him. You can't bench him. He has earned his playing time so far this year.
  9. I am not looking to list specific players they should target, nor am I asking you to do it as well. Neither of us is in a position to do that. You are basically saying that because we are in June, moves can't be made There are cheap, reliable RP to be had regardless of your opinions. I am not mocking ownership, I am calling them out. My starting point on this is that Pohlad is not putting his wallet where his mouth is. If he truly believes this is a competitive team, he should be doing more than scouring the daily DFA list. By not making even the smallest of moves, he is showing his true colors.
  10. Well, for starters, there are currently 7 teams with a winning % under .450 and at least 5 games out of the wild card. Amongst those teams are 30 RP that are making $5m or less. I would probably start there. Complain about the horrible bullpen, then mock any discussion to improve this bullpen...
  11. After being initially somewhat optimistic about having a new Pohlad at the realm, I am ready to call anything he says Bull***t. I don't care about the weakened state of the American League or the AL Central. You have to take everything year-by-year. This team is currently 4.5 games out of 1st placed and 1.5 games out of the Wild Card. The Twins have blown the most leads of any team in baseball. They are currently in the race and have an obvious hole that can easily be filled. Forget the trade deadline. For them to not go out RIGHT NOW and acquire two low-end, reliable RP (probably spending less than $10M total) to help this team get into the playoffs says everything you need to know about how this Pohlad truly feels about this team. Talk is cheap. Lack of movement says everything.
  12. I am more than willing to accept I was wrong in my assessment... I am happy to see that he is now willing to play 1B. Let's hope that AAA bat finds it's way back for the big club.
  13. I knew that one was coming, but I was thinking of this one: https://youtu.be/bn08vlj7mYU?t=1408
