The league average BABIP is largely irrelevant for hitters, they all establish their own individual average.

The is the best thing that has ever come from Jeff Gray.

Regression kicks Cook right in the nuts.

Options are irrelevant, there's no reason to put a player on the 40 if they aren't immediately getting placed on the active roster.

You want to know why Dick? 25 plate appearances, that's why lefties have "done so much better" than righties have.

Incoming picker of nits.... It would be handy if the start time was included in either the thread title or with the lineups. Carry on.

He currently has the 3rd highest OPS in the league.... ....among players named Cabrera.

I don't suppose you remember where that discussion about 2-strike pitching is on BYTO? I'm curious about all the numbers I pulled up, but not curious enough to pull them all up again. I seem to recall them being relatively poor in those situations, but not as bad we thought they'd be.

The "proven" closer line of thinking is a proven line of crap.

Probably closer to 97 out of 100.

He's not one of the good ol' boys.

WHAT? What is it about charging a bunt that's any more hazardous than a dozen other baseball activities Mauer engages in on a daily basis?

Maybe he was using 'lot' as in a collection of similar items? "This lot of Twins outfielders is awful."

There are few things in life that cheer me up faster than the Twins leading over the White Sox.

It's definitely not rocket surgery.

Yup. He would be able to get enough time in now to tell you whether or not it's worth investing the entire offseason and spring on it. You're half right.

He's not going to come back to pitch for a loser, that's pretty much where the discussion starts and ends.

That's a grossly inaccurate representation. I'd love to see you defend it though, should make for quality theatre.

Michael Young got a ton of votes, he wasn't any better than Lew was.

They would have had an additional 5 million to play with if not for the horrendous decision to bring back Capps so unnecessarily early in the offseason. The more I think about it the more it ends up pissing me off due to it being almost completely indefensible.

Still one of the best Twins all time.

Service time is service time, it doesn't matter where you come from. He won't have the necessary service time at the end of the year to choose free agency on his own.

Submarine-type pitcher. 2 drinks.

You may be overreacting just hair. Park the PC revolution crap, there wasn't anything malicious in that post.
