    That would be why Johnson got big bucks

    They did not seem to want to pay Rogers so for them to want to keep Duran for another 4-5 years he would have to show more than Rogers.

    Neither Kepler nor Polanco will be with the team long enough for them to be considered core players going forwards. They will hit the big 30 and the analytics say decline, they will be gone like Rosario. Lewis with an injury history may be hard to consider core. Great when he plays, but there is when he doesn’t play. Same for Buxton. A super utility player is really the only core player the team has until the others show they can sustain a level of play

    Balazovic is the only one that has played in the futures game who did not make it to the majors. He just needs some more time

    The difficulty in bringing pitchers from outside the organization can be found by perusing the rosters of teams that are likely out of the playoffs, The prearb relievers are going to cost an arm and a bat. Some of the rental type relievers who are having good years have already been cycled trough here. There is a reason why some of these teams are that bad. Lots of reasons. Bullpens are one of them. Does a reliever with an ERA of between 3.5 and 4 really move the needle that far. They also have blown many games along the way

    Everything has a cost. The question becomes would you rather have a Winder or one of these pitchers. It is not necessarily Winder but the next capable prospect or two.

    Bednar would be likely to cost as much a Kimbrel did before he became a White Sox. Effross wouldn’t be too far behind on that price tag. Mantiply a bit further back. I would doubt the FO would spend that kind of capital unless there were prospects that the other team loved that the FO wasn’t that enamored with. If either were with Oakland or Miami it would be interesting to be a fly on the wall. Detroit will trade Fulmer to anyone. They are not going anywhere this year, he is a free agent afterwards. Divisional rivalries do not matter. This FO might be reluctant to give Detroit a good prospect. Seeing someone for a few years on a rental wouldn’t be fun. Then again, it is Detroit. I am sure when Fulmer is traded the people here will be more than correct with the “we could have matched that garbage” That leaves Bass

    HR/9 is down .39 from 2019, K/9 is slightly down. I don’t think the analytics department would miss that trend. The first few drafts under Sean Johnson as directed by Falvey and or Levine they went for bat over glove. It did not work. If this deadened ball continues, they need to have defense. I think they realized that. They moved Polanco. They have a couple of weak fielding hitters now. Arraez and Miranda are not going anywhere Perhaps the old school draft up the middle and move them out if you have to was the correct way to do the draft.

    Unluckily there is not a Joe Mauser or Buster Posey in this draft, We’ll, edit and laugh https://throughthefencebaseball.com/2022-mlb-mock-draft-5-0-brooks-lee-druw-jones/

    The problem is the Twins have no other pitcher in the minors as talented as he is, Not even close. Thor berg was DFA the other day so he will go away
  11. old nurse
    There is almost no such thing as an innings eating pitcher anymore. Manaea and Wheeler might be the leaders in IP per game. I can’t find many who even average 6. Not Castillo or Montas
  12. old nurse
    A 90 mph fastball was considered fas back then. Things change
  13. old nurse
    Winder 6 starts, Sands 3. It is not if they will be needed as starters but when. So what the proposal is would be called rob Peter to pay Paul. Good for the moment but maybe not the short term
  14. old nurse
    What do do with Sano becomes evident with his time in rehab. I would imagine it is a little hard to hit for power on one leg. Many here do not seem to grasp the concept that you need to be at 100% as baseball isn’t what it used to be The star burned brightly a decade ago. Now it is but a child’s toy thrown in the box marked Goodwill. The new toys are shinier

    Duffey is fixed? The use of Pagan despite the results says not

    Considering the recent content here I would say the generality of the new girl is prettier to be true. My takeaway from the article is that a player probably needs a healthy wrist yo hit effectively
  17. old nurse
    Nope, https://www.yardbarker.com/general_sports/articles/news_contract_details_released_for_lsu_pitching_coach_wes_johnson/s1_16586_37628508

    Why did Johnson leave? The bullpen was affecting his mental health?
  19. old nurse
    A guy from the area, worked in that area his entire life until coming north takes a job back home. What is not to understand. From my experiences in the South, if I had taken a job down there to advance my career I would certainly have no trouble leaving for home country. Plenty people I know have done similar

    Smalley plaid in the 70s and 80s. Different time
  21. old nurse
    Yup, and right there on the bottom is says 2000 innings at third base. Is that to short of time to learn a position or have some sort of clue if he will be any good at it. I do not know what your point was, as it had nothing to do with what I asked
  22. old nurse
    A couple thousand innings is not enough to judge someone’s ability? Miranda did not start playing 3B in the system this year
  23. old nurse
    Smalley made the plays because he knew positioning for the situation. That is how he got the extra outs. There is what the statistics do not measure. That is the limitation of these statistics.
  24. old nurse
    Roy Smalley was never the greatest athletic shortstop but always seemed to be in the right position to make plays. IIRC he attributed that to be a student of the game. Perhaps the computer takes the knowing individuals out of the equation
  25. old nurse
    Your logic here is why I am continually amazed by comments sections. A person who says that statistics can be manipulated has their statement manipulated to mean what they want
