    If this article was written towards the end of July, Mathews would be on the blame side of the ledger. How quickly people forget.

    It solves the problem of what to write about

    The whole season seems to be weeks of bad, weeks of good, always on the cusp of the playoff. When they get to the edge of being in the playoffs, they spin down Garry Gaetti’s line holds true.

    The cost of TJ runs in the 70-120 k range the cost of arthroscopic shoulder surgery was found to be in the 40k range. The cost of the physical rehab was not listed specifically for ball players but runs about $150/hr. When I had a shoulder injury it was about 10 sessions, progressing to do it on your own. The rehab in the minor leagues would be accommodations similar to what they have for road games and meal money. Now that portion is not insignificant, but it is likely of the 1.9 million average per player, 1.7 is salary.

    Really, you went that route?

    From the National Institute of Health Abstract Background: The economic loss following ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) in Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to quantify the financial impact of UCLR on MLB teams. We hypothesize that MLB teams incur significant losses annually as a result of salaries paid to injured players following reconstruction. Methods: Public records were accessed to identify MLB pitchers from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2014, who had undergone UCLR. Contract terms and time away from competition were used to approximate economic loss. Successful return was considered when a pitcher returned to play in at least 1 Minor League Baseball (MiLB) or MLB game. Results: One hundred ninety-four MLB pitchers underwent UCLR from 2004 to 2014, missing on average 180.2 days of the MLB regular season. Cost of recovery (COR) amounted to $395 million, averaging $1.9 million per player. Starting pitchers accounted for the largest total COR at $239.6 million, whereas closers had the largest economic loss per player ($3.9 million/player). Only 77% of pitchers returned to MLB play. Conclusion: UCLR has a substantial economic impact on MLB teams.

    Content creation versus actually saying something. What is Ross doing differently at the plate and how did he get to that point
  9. old nurse
    DFA to make room for Ross

    Yup that is a win. The comments were about them maintaining their winning ways was by trading for hauls of prospects as stars neared free agency

    Jeffers is a free agent He has not been a full time catcher in his career. He is not likely to get a break open the vault contract. It is quite possible he will be resigned to a contract.

    On a site that has complained about his injuries non stop for years and demands he should be traded the unpopular modifier is a pretty absurd comment . Considering Rodriguez’s injury history, as well as Buxton’s the article does need to go into who are the backups to the backups. Buxton is untradeable because of his contract and past statements. Rodrigues would be a sell low candidate. They will be part of the team unless Rodriguez turns into Outman. The backups are equally important in any discussion

    Hot streak, cold streak That has been the MO of the half dozen hovering around .500 teams in the AL All of the teams have briefly played well enough to lead the AL West or hold the last wild card spot for a brief while. Will the Twins get another hot streak or collapse. In this season who knows.

    Your point ignores development at the major league level. When he went out and got injured in July he was at a WRC+ of 148, that is top 10 in baseball. Sorry that isn’t good enough for you to consider him a talented player
  15. old nurse
    It means you need to have a backup plan. Last year it was Bader. This year it was Outman . The conundrum is that a healthy Buxton is one of the best players in baseball. Protons, neutrons and electrons The dead horse of trade Buxton has been beaten down to that
  16. old nurse
    The last ten years he has averaged 85 games a season expecting a different result seems foolish

    Wow, the Mets front office seems like a prevalent off topic. From MLB.com MENTAL HEALTH & MENTAL PERFORMANCE Jimmy VanOstrand: Director, Mental Performance Adam Severino: Mental Performance Coordinator Dr. Tess Palmateer: Team Sport Psychologist Terrance Tatum: Affiliate Mental Performance Coach Abel Encarnacion: Affiliate Mental Performance Coach Salome Velez: D.R. Academy Mental Performance Coach Laura Diamond: Mental Health Counselor Pablo Gonzalez: Mental Health Counselor That is one staff for every 3 players. New York must be mentally stressful

    Yet the obvious does not prevent the horse that long ago was beaten to a powder from being beaten some more. The only two teams that that don’t seem to mind injury prone players are the Yankees and the Dodgers. Very rarely do the prospects they give up ammounts to much, but the will give you a haul.

    Velocity drop has been a sign of UCL damage. What the Twins offered? Enough so that Detroit gave him the contract they did when it looked like there was limited interest
  20. old nurse
    After glancing through the thread I would guess people took your statement as a challenge.
  21. old nurse
    Well, we do agree on something.
  22. old nurse
    If it would have been SWE and Zebby injured rather than Abel and Lopez the season would look much different.
  23. old nurse
    The front office staff directory lists 5 staff involved in sports psychology. Wether or not they are full time or consultants as needed is something I do not know
  24. old nurse
    How about including the negative WAR of the replacements?

    How the Twins finish may rest on how many above average pitchers they face. They seem to hit well against the poorer pitching hence the mediocre record
