    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

    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

    A 90 mph fastball was considered fas back then. Things change
  8. 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

    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
  12. 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?
  14. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. old nurse
    In the opening paragraphs the OP seems to think that Miranda is not playing much and the loyal fans do not dispute it. It could have meant that he only plays a few games a week at third base, but I am not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. The Twins have seen Miranda play for 6 years. They have an idea of what his ceiling is as a fielder.
  22. old nurse
    Miranda has played in 19 out of 23 games, starting 16 of them. Miranda has not sat an inordinate amount of games.
  23. old nurse
    In the multiple seasons of managing Baldelli has had only one player play nearly every game prt year. 7 day a week player is not the Twins way. SSS but Miranda is -2 DRS at 3B. He has had like 1000 innings at 3B. It would be reasonable to think that the player and the organization knows his capabilities at the position.
  24. old nurse
    Even as high up in the draft as they are, with these mock drafts one can find out who will not be selected
  25. old nurse
    In the 10 rounds after the Twins picked Gordon you have AAron Nola, Trea Turner, Brian Anderson, Rhys Hoskins and Dylan Cease as the only players that amounted to much. Almost every team had a non productive draft. Before Gordon, Schwarber and Rodin have not had stellar careers
