    I fully agree with this statement on Bundy. He was a solid pitcher for the price paid. He led the team in starts and I think innings pitched. Unless Berrios beat him. He wasn’t great but was also on a 1 year deal. if your talking about free agent contracts under Falvine leadership then what about the Addison Reed contract.

    I am sorry you can’t seem to read. I’m not going to keep this up.
  3. Brandon
    Right. I didn’t say May 1, I said his last 36 or so AB. I checked a few days ago from his lowest point of the season he went on an 11 for 36 run with 6 doubles. That was a few days ago and I don’t know how many AB he has since.

    Farmer started the season in a horrible slump. He went on a 11 for 36 run. I don’t know if he has more AB since I last checked. He also hit 5 or 6 doubles in those 36 AB. He is picking up his numbers and it’s going to take time. Farmer is having a Tale of Two Seasons kind of year. I doubt the Twins drop him at this point. If he goes back into another slump maybe. We will see
  5. Brandon
    Good stuff
  6. Brandon
    What if he is that good? He’s been pitching that good. Maybe he is a sub 3.00 ERA pitcher. You never know. Stinking thinking can be self defeating.
  7. Brandon
    Sounds like a good idea to me.
  8. Brandon
    Since starting the season 3 for 47, Farmer is 11 for 36 since his season opening slump and has 6 doubles too in that time (a .306 BA and .472 Slg%). I hope he can get his average over .200 soon as I am sure that will be a relief for him to see.

    At this point I can see Martin being the next Marwin Gonzales. In that he will play all over the place as the 10th player and get near full time status and be a speed guy who doesn't hit much but gets on base just enough to use his speed and score some runs similar to Nick Punto. There is value to the team in this. Especially during his low-cost years. If his defense improves and or he can get his bat to the 95 to 105 OPS+ range he will be plenty valuable as a backup getting 400 or so ABs a season. I am not sure I rank him 4th either at this time. but at the rate Martin is going he will graduate from this list on the next update. I think Woods-Richardson should rank higher as he is actually reaching his potential as a number 3 starter and is younger than Martin. If Woods-Richardson keeps his ERA under 4.00 then Varland may need to switch to the pen to get a shot at staying up here long term. I am glad we are finally seeing a return at the big-league level on the Berrios trade. Since I still hate seeing one of my all-time favorite pitchers being dealt I hope both these guys outperform what I have written about them above.
  10. Brandon
    I was going to say this.
  11. Brandon
    I think it’s because Preilipp’s injury was factored into the initial ranking where the others injuries are just now being considered due to recency of the injuries.
  12. Brandon
    So how does this work. we have Pablo for 3 more years after this one. Ober has 3 more seasons too after this one. Same with Ryan....3 more seasons Paddack has through next season. He may be arbitration eligible one more season. if Woods-Richardson keeps his spot in the rotation. He has 6 more season after this one before he is eligible for free agency I think. so Festa and Varland need injuries or to pitch in the pen to get opportunities.
  13. Brandon
    Santana is on pace for 28 HRs and 85 RBIs. With good defense at 1B. Not bad for 5.625 million. on the pitching side it seems like the pitchers are all pitching like aces except one appearance where they give up too many runs in an outing where Rocco refuses to remove a pitcher until too much damage is done.
  14. Brandon
    If you go to Angels Stadium you will see Torii Hunter, Bert Blyleven, Dean Chance, Rod Carew as all time great Angels.
  15. Brandon
    I don't think the other teams have the kind of depth the Twins do to protect from having injured players. I think a key injury or two will torpedo the competition over the long haul.
  16. Brandon
    Jax is a good development, Brock, Thielbar was a good find. I think they helped in that development as well. Cole Sands is making huge strides this year and Simeon Woods-Richardson too. Lopez made huge strides after joining the Twins last year. There is development going on. some at the major league level and some at the minor league level.
  17. Brandon
    If you take out their worst starts, Paddack has a 2.53 ERA to Obers 2.55 ERA. both have been ace level outside of 1 bad start pushing their ERA into the low 4s.
  18. Brandon
    Its May 12th and Carlos Correa is on pace for 0 GIDP after getting 30 last year and leading the league.
  19. Brandon
    We are still paying Margot 4 million so I suspect we are giving him a longer leash to see if he can get back on track. He is not a great hitter to begin with. I just hope a change is made by July if he doesn’t get on track quickly.
  20. Brandon
    If he can play a little 2B we can replace farmer with him this season and Santana next season.

    Tp help lower the click bate articles maybe not have so many being done on a daily basis. maybe some days just have the game rehash available and that way in a day or two 4 articles can come out that are better written. and then 2 or three more days with game rehash or an article here or there and then a good 3-4 article day....... basically, we don't need 3-4 articles a day if it's just click bate due to limited topics. and it doesn't have to be a consistent and same number of articles every day either. the negative tone from articles too. occasionally is fine. regularly is not. Why don't we hear from John Bonnes. Seth and other owners very often anymore. I thought we would still get some articles from them. Nick Nelson still writes good articles. I like the idea of adding baseball related emoji's to the mix like the dead horse, but also a homerun, or great catch, or a crowd wave..... or even making a library of memes we can easily reference into comments. Making it obvious when an article is for caretakers on the site so you don't read a partial article and be left wondering....

    If Ballys stops making their payments to the Twins since Comcast took them off air, and the Twins need to pare payroll as a result, then the correct answer is whoever they can trade including Vazquez and Kepler added to the list too. based on performance it’s Margot. Jackson hasn’t pitched bad enough to be let go. Everyone else has a value with the team. Farmer has hit 5 for his last 12 AB. if he hits like normal the rest of the season (,250 Average) and ends up with 250 AB. his average will remain low all year and end up just over .200 but he will still be a useful player moving forward. I am more disappointed that he wasn't considered good enough to play SS as I thought that was the main reason to keep him last winter.

    It seems that the Twins 8 man bullpen is 11 or 12 relievers deep. I like that! Whats the hierarchy of the next in line to come up relievers like Bowman, Staumont, Winder, Wittigen? And I’m sure I’m forgetting someone…..
  24. Brandon
    Nick you make some good points like Margot not being trusted in CF and Farmer not being trusted at SS but have you ever seen the Angels play? They are a team that goes and signs the big name and doesn’t have money left in the budget for depth. Comparing the two teams the Twins made the right call. The bench is performing at the far and wrong end of their bell curve of possible outcomes. I sure hope that evens out some. Last week it seems to against less good competition. On the good news side of things, Correa should be back any day as is Duran and Topa. Farmer will get a little more time to make a splash to keep his roster spot until LEwis comes back. Miranda is hitting like he wants to stay here. Santana should also be on notice with Miranda playing well. But I think things are evening out and it’s a matter of time before Cleveland’s offense slows and our picks it up a notch. We are back to 4th in the league in HRs.
