    They wouldn’t be shifting for Carew. He wasn’t a pull hitter
  2. old nurse
    In over 10500 plate appearance Rod Carew attempted to bunt 126 times. He was one of the all time greats at bunting. He rarely tried. Bunting or the lack of it is not an issue

    When you judge by being paid by track record prior to signing the free agent contract it would be infrequent that the Twins overpaid for a free agent. Without looking too hard Odorizzi would be it. That was a bit of a gamble the Twins made to snag a draft pick. Over the previous 3 seasons Colme was the 35th best reliever by fwar Happ was worth more than the contract.

    Cheery picked which pitchers he used and I complete contraxrs.

    Chweey picking statistics. Price has a couple years ofmediocrity left as does Darvish. You miss the busts like Sanchez The history of free agents is you get a few good years and more bad years. Greenie and Scherzer are the exceptions

    Expecting anyone to come in and be a number 1 as a first year player is fairly unrealistic. The past has also shown that expecting a less than league average pitcher to be something like an ace is also unrealistic

    In the .260s in June, .299 now. That is an interesting way for a rock to drop.

    Seattle found a bullpen out of the scrap heap, Sometimes a team gets lucky. Sometimes they don't. They still have not won anything

    When people mention get rid of this player or that player just keep in mind that Matt Shoemaker is still pitching in professional baseball despite his time with the Twins. Remember that AAAA players do serve as a disaster plan

    Thielbar, Farrell, and a very outside chance Law could be useful contributors next year. They would all be minimal contracts. Any minor league player is something more than just next year. Long term assets can be defined by anybody's prospect lists You appear to be unaware how many different people like a lot of the prospects the Twin's have

    The rationale behind the comment there is no bad one year contract is that you are not stuck with a mistake for several years. The rationale then for it being false would be that the players should have been signed for longer. The Twins received reasonable prospects for their one year players that they could trade, cheaply cut bait on the untraceable one. This year’s Twins are the proof of there are no bad one year contracts.

    The current Mariners have won nothing. They are better than what they were, not as good as they once were

    20 years ago the average speed of a major league starter was 88.7 now it is closing in on 92. The game has changed . Get over your fascination with innings pitched meaning something. It seems like 200 IP means a trip to the IL. That is counter productive. Innings pitched by a reliever also shows limits. It is not once was.

    Liberty and freedom some say. Then there is the subset that has the qualifier of but only if you think like me
  15. old nurse
    It is not really close but over the last 3 seasons who has more WAR, the number 1 or 2 Sano and Buxton, or the lesser prospects of Polanco and Arraez? The health of a club is not who is number one but how deep does the list go for quality major league players.

    Were you also stopped back in the day for driving while hippie?

    Maglie did not regularly pitch in the majors until he was nearing his mid 30s. I hope Ryan has better luck than that
  18. old nurse
    So what if he has a lot of hair.

    In regards to many of the starter or relievers in the Twins system who are not also injured, Is it that you do not accept the notion that you do not ask people to do what they are not capable of or is it that you have some other issue. If it is the latter, just PM me
  20. old nurse
    The talent level of the pitchers in the Twins’ system is nowhere near the talent level of Griffey as a position player
  21. old nurse
    In a month you can lose the pennant one month out of a year you can get away with most. Missing a month is not playing most of the season. Darn nit picky people on the internet

    My parents never said there was a Santa Claus. Once again, Wrong. A lot of people were pontificating of an extension. I did not accuse them of not thinking. However, claiming that Berrios wouldn't sign would only take reading the right articles over the last few years. I am sorry that I accused you of reading other sources
  24. old nurse
    Fake statistics. Gotta love it. Never mind that Buxton is quoted saying he wants to stay with the Twins. Berrios had stated in the past that he wanted to test free agency and get as much money as he can. It really did not take much thinking to come up with he would be traded.

    Your three points of Burton’s thinking is like Vodka Daves imminent trade pots
