  1. The lefty "starter" today could be out of the game by the time the lower half of the batting order comes up. Look for Gonzalez to perhaps pinch hit if another lefty is brought in to pitch later in the game.
  2. Jeffers belonged on the same stud-tier as Ryan and Buxton even before the season started. The bar is just set differently for catchers. But as for your basic point, I've had the same concerns too, for a long while now. I could quibble in a few cases, such as Ober panning out as "just average" after being a 12th round draft pick, as a development "hit." But a low-revenue team like the Twins needs to make the flat-out misses on high draft picks really low, and they don't.
  3. Relievers from a hat - "Pitchers You Don't Want To See In A Clutch Situation" - resulting in an aggregate ERA of 5.00.
  4. I'd expect his fastball to have good movement, considering his throws from RF often are not usefully on-target.
  5. History could repeat. Hurricane Hazle that one year kept it up on offense for 155 PA. When Kreidler starts to approach that sample size, I'll start taking notice. And even so, Hazle's OPS in his other seasons was .462, .583, .482 and .681. #baseball
  6. This "new" philosophy is remarkably similar to the time-tested internet Search Engine Optimization strategy of Get More Clicks.
  7. Don't exaggerate. At this writing the overall OPS in the PCL is only .789.
  8. If Jeremy Zoll has kids I'd be more concerned about them seeing me slip the needle to their dad.
  9. This article is a nice demonstration of how irreplaceable Tristan Gray really is.
  10. No to taking a catcher at #3 overall. Top tier catchers are a rich team's corner of the world.
  11. For long enough to then go on the losing streak that breaks our hearts? Sure. Why not?
  12. If the Dodgers aren't overworking him ask Rocco whether he can fill in for you.
  13. Not to get all serious or anything, but for things like regular batting titles I believe they still have a rule that covers situations like that if it played out that way at the end of the season.
  14. And future Hall of Famer and current Atlanta Braves farmhand Blaine Enlow was the main beneficiary (again as I recall).
  15. ... after zero games in the majors while briefly on their 40-man. DFAs should revert to the previous team.
