    There was something during the season about the Twins wanting him to change his swing but he wouldn't do it. The line was something like if it doesn’t work it would cost him money.

    Coulumbe was with the Twins before he was sold to Baltimore. When he signed here again it was a major league contract for 3 million. Cano was the major league ready arm so Baltimore had someone to replace Lopez. As a player who was traded I am not sure why he was brought up. Ib a discussion of free agents. Megill was also brought up. He was a trade to Milwaukee, not a free agent signing

    With the same launch angle and exit velocity a 360 foot shot at Target Field can be a foul ball, aHR, a double of the wall, a dramatic out, or an easy out. Timing, not luck.

    Yup, you can find relievers. Maybe the front office is not so stupid for trading relievers last year

    Some felt that is what wrecked Celestino

    If it doesn’t help Culpepper develop too bad for him
  7. old nurse
    Rationality would be saying that he signed someone with a minor league deal that spent most of his season last year ad backup on the worst team in baseball. To expect that he is anything more than a no cost flier for organizational depth is irrational

    Just like minor league free agents, DFA means a club did not think you were good enough to protect. A player like Stewart was available due to injuries. He continued on that trajectory. Can someone on their third or more organization be changed into something greater than what they have been?

    What a memorable list that was yup, Culpepper is such a great prospect he is a top 20 prospect in all of baseball. He son’y need no stinking time in AAA

    Keaschall and Buxton have speed. That will get a batter more hits and an extra base upon occasion. Roden is also a bit speedier than average. The luck is in their legs

    By .xslg those 5 hits should have been HR

    Yup, there is always a better piece of scrap on the scrap heap in somebodies eyes. It is still the scrap heap. When you come up with a name, make sure they have regularly played shortstop

    He has had more years of forgetting how to hit than hitting pretty good
  14. old nurse
    Yup, going up and hitting the guy decisively when they are not where you threw the ball will make them be in the right spot next time.

    Julian had 182 AB in 64 games. He had 40 hits for a .220 BA. Since walks and HBP are not going to change by the x stats xba will suffice for this. His xba was .247. He should have had 5 more hits, or 1 more hit every 12 games.

    https://www.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/weighted-on-base-average X stats are expected outcomes based on what usually happens by statcast data

    An incremental improvement over Kreidler

    They signed Kepler, Sano, Buxton, and Polanco to extensions It is not unreasonable to think that they would have talked to Berrios. It would also explain why they would trade him with a year and a half of control as it would be peak value.
  19. old nurse
    You can’t say he would have signed here. You are making a supposition.
  20. old nurse
    If what happened in Toronto has no bearing, you are complaining about trading a pitcher who would a free agent 3 years ago. You can’t say he would have signed here by your parameters. So you point out his ERA in Toronto is exactly the same as here, which is within hundredths of the same ERA as SWR. Berrios good years are better, his bad years are worse. So if over a career the outcome averages out to be the same you have no argument.
  21. old nurse
    Is what you want in return for a pitcher is the about 40th pick in the draft? In his years in Toronto, his ERA has been 4.09. So really, your not changing much
  22. old nurse
    So a league average ERA pitcher is nothing. If that is the way you want to see it, it is what it is.
  23. old nurse
    If the .374 OBP is sustainable then he should be the leadoff hitter.
  24. old nurse
    How quickly people forget that Cave’s first 2 years were when there was a juiced ball. Not that he hit a lot of HR, but it was a dramatic drop off with the change.
  25. old nurse
    You made a statement about Falvey based on bias It wouldn’t matter what Falvey said, you will find a way to criticize.
