    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

    Puk is not even arb eligible. He is not going anywhere unless it is a ridiculous deal

    Nope, https://www.yardbarker.com/general_sports/articles/news_contract_details_released_for_lsu_pitching_coach_wes_johnson/s1_16586_37628508

    If there is belief it will help then take them. After the last couple years it is like whatever. Basically there is just enough studies done to give the manufacturer something to pitch their product

    Why did Johnson leave? The bullpen was affecting his mental health?
  7. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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

    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

    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.
  15. old nurse
    Miranda has played in 19 out of 23 games, starting 16 of them. Miranda has not sat an inordinate amount of games.
  16. 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.

    Even as high up in the draft as they are, with these mock drafts one can find out who will not be selected
  18. 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
  19. old nurse
    When motivated through the years both have come up with outstanding stories and some good storytelling
  20. old nurse
    Arraez leads in batting average right now. That does not make him a batting champion. The allure of a batting leader is different than a champion
  21. old nurse
    The team is not scoring as much as they should. Statistically by OPS. If there is such a thing as regression to the mean it would indicate the Twins will score more runs in the future WPA by team the Twins are at 2.04 right now. . That is not an indication of failure or mediocrity. For those who say that the Twins hit too many solo home runs I would say prove it
  22. old nurse
    When you look at trades Miranda might yield a very good reliever with a high upside and another pitching prospect thrown in. The only way Miranda brings back a high level starter is he is the second piece with the first piece being a high upside starting pitching prospect. Another month of data on Archer, Gray and Ryan is still needed to see if such a trade is prudent. My guess would be don’t hold your breath for a trade. If Smeltzer continues his strong work and Winder comes back strong it would be more likely Archer would get traded before Miranda. Miranda turns 24 at the end of the month. Thanks for the joke that he is an older prospect.

    Historically it seems like the Twins have a famine offense every October. Then again it seems most teams have a famine when they lose. When does something measure what it claims to? Is it possible given all of the variables you can’t for sure know because the same conditions will not last long enough to normalize. Losing 5-1 is no different than 5-0. The number of shutouts is not significant
  24. old nurse
    Welcome to the internet. No need for facts. I am also amazed that being in last place while at 4-8 is forgotten in the opening paragraph.
  25. old nurse
    As the deadline approaches what is available becomes clearer. Bullpen rentals looks like the most need and usually only cost lottery tickets. Hopefully those lottery tickets are not the equivalent of Ynoa Considering the previous trades, the Twins have very few Ryan era prospects left to trade. Ynoa, Giza, Gill, Davis, Wade and Graterol were all Ryan era players. Enlow Leach and Balazovic are about it
