    The reverse also sometimes works.

    I don't have much disagreement with any of these points. I just didn't think it necessary to overstate the case.

    That ignores the 2023 and 2026 seasons. You picked Jeffers' worst two seasons out of the most recent four, and Caratini's best two. 2026 isn't complete yet, but that's no reason to throw it out as meaningless. And even then, best versus worst, Jeffers has a tiny, tiny edge in OPS. To me, that makes them not especially close as comparable as batters. Across 2023-26 it's .790 to .723.

    I failed to add, a couple more games and his OPS should be up above 1.000. What are we waiting for?

    I detect just a teensy bit of skepticism concerning the competence of the Twins' minor league coaching staff. 😁

    I have no idea what they charge for something like this. Do you mind my asking?

    insurance runs plz

    Feeling better now?

    At some point they'll need to acquire a shortstop and a center fielder for Ft Myers next season, just in case these pitching aces fail to strike out the side every time. / edit - I didn't refresh my draft update page - I see they've started this process. 😁

    Talent aside, I would not be able to carry the day-in day-out workload they do.

    The spreadsheets would have told the team to discard Gray long ago. He's still with the team because someone's playing a hunch or something. 😁

    @Church of Kreidler, you've got some proselytizin' to do.

    A well-timed extra base knock? What ranks above "blessed"?

    You can have fun rooting for Drew Burress, drafted #8 by the Athletics. I've seen it mentioned that his listed height of 5'9" might be, uh, "generous."
  17. ashbury
    You must have been beside yourself with passion for the Angels' 2021 draft. 😁
  18. ashbury
    Welp, now you've convinced me. He's gonna be trade bait for a couple years of a good, established starter.

    Humor is such a difficult concept for me.

    The FO is doing a competent job, given the constraints placed by ownership's vision during last off-season. That's as far as I'm willing to go in singing their praises.

    I like WAR - for sure in concept, and mostly in execution. But there is no way that anybody's formula for WAR is meaningful down to the first decimal point. They publish it to that precision because it provides a little bit of illumination. But anybody who did well in high school Chemistry class learned that "significant digits" are very important when measuring something even as precise as reagents can be - when human achievement is involved, even more so. Either version of these WAR computations tells us "[Martin/Keaschall] is contributing something, and is not an all-star candidate," and that is enough.

    Tom Go-Big-Or-Go-Home Pohlad is gonna change things, I'm sure of it.

    Glancing only at the first round, the 2022 draft is shaping up as one of the weaker crops recently. Both the 2023 and 2024 drafts have a greater number of players already contributing at least 0.5 WAR cumulative career-wise than 2022. 2021 and especially 2020 are already far stronger too - maybe the 1 and 2 additional years accounts for that, but I don't think so. A deeper analysis would require more effort than I care to spend, but it might be appropriate to grade on the curve when looking at what the Twins accomplished so far with that draft.

    Boston's problems stem from their offense - second fewest runs scored in the AL. Their team ERA is pretty good, and their bullpen in particular is second in the AL. Scraps yes, but their scraps might be better than what's on the Twins' table.

    This gentleman sees what you did there.
