Me too, if I finish really strongly.

Maybe or maybe not, but I think it's fair to say that a fielder takes the baserunner situation into account when faced with a non-routine fielding chance.

Twins Waiting, Watching (And Wanting)

Not hoping so, of course, but what's your prognostication in case Pinto needs to be DLed? -
Lewis Thorpe removed from game with elbow pain

Silver lining for the player, though not for the team who will have to make 40-man decisions on a fixed timetable. -
I've never seen Billy Hamilton reach second base on two bounces. Revere misses his cutoff man all the time - but the under, not the over. As for the main topic, defensive stats' problem is they are too sparse, period. Waiting for 3 years' data is not a practical solution. Whereas a season contains only a few dozen interesting plays to consider for the average outfielder, his batting numbers can be contemplated usefully because of the rich variety - it's not simply 700 or so PA, it's that each PA has several pitches, each of which required skill (or lack) to decide on, leading to literally thousands of decisions per season on which the stats get based. Defense is thus approximately 1% as rich in information to work with. And yet defense is important to the team's success. An unsolved dilemma, at present.

And one particular tool, hit, is a lot more decisive than the other four. You shake the baseball tree and about 9 gloves fall out before you see a bat.

A more homogenized Low-A without any of the highly drafted prospects, maybe.

MLB Pipeline Top 30 Twins prospects list
ashbury replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
To have Darnell on their list and not Murphy suggests to me that established floor matters a lot to them. -
Some people, even more so than others. I don't even write mine. Platoon wrote: Luckily I do not have NPD. How do I know this? It should be obvious to everyone that I am smart enough to know if I had something that difficult to spell, I, above all others would recognize my disorder. If in fact, I had it, I would be the first to know, as I am a firm believer in self diagnosis! If I hint that I disagree with you, we'll find out very quickly just how careful and correct your self-diagnosis is!

TK sounds like TK, though. Which for me has become an important part of spring training.

Some player statistics that might prove interesting

I would have said short, but I looked it up and it was indeed Gaetti who started it. -

This is a solid proposal. TD has long needed a way to definitively label those members displaying Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

He made that throw to home. -
Kennys has had a good spring at bat. What do you see wrong with him?

My wife and I are taking a side trip to Miami tomorrow and Saturday. I had a hunch you were the guy with the big camera. Stringer and I were with his brother who's in a motorized chair, so you may have noticed us as well. At game's end I meant to go see if I was right, but you had slipped away before I noticed. I think Stringer and brother will be there, and I'll try again Sunday if you're around.
