    Dodgers need him for when Taylor gets injures or Lux fails since they traded their outfielder for Kimbrel

    I think the team already has enough light hitting outfielders. Uptown for 28m a year would even be a bigger joke. His best days are gone

    Buxton is 2 years younger that Trout. In the next 2 years he can make up the difference in WAR between them one could say he is the greater player for CF. As far as best current player for CF, somebody will come along when Trout starts to fade. The what if will be what defines Buxton

    The Dodger and Yankee ifs are not about making the playoffs. Never has been for a long time. Their ifs are about winning WS. The teams still have their ifs
  5. old nurse
    Having very few ifs means nothing because there is always the big IF, if everything goes right. Just ask the Dodgers. Better yet, ask the Yankees

    I hope that the scriptwriters are kinder to the Twins than they were to Kenny Jay

    A wise old man never worked with humans. This is Fromm one who has It is not credit for trying, but it is not a demerit.

    Had they not been traded that could have been Gil and Ynoa

    If you count the other 560 PA in 2019, Lewis has a ways to go. Making a judgement on the AFL stats alone would be like making a judgment on his spring training at bats this year.
  10. old nurse
    Everything is temporary. If Lewis is in the majors before September this year I hope Lanarch and Celestino have talked to him about playing above your level. It would also mean bad things have happened. Next year is next year. Things have a way of sorting themselves out. Never forget Correa is a Boras client.

    A prospect list is someone’s opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. If a player is near the top of the list it generally means their ceiling as a player is higher. Towards the bottom it means they are in the low minors or have a chance to be a solid player. Bailey Ober was in the 20s on most people’s list. If last year was any indication of talent he could have a long career filling out a rotation

    Not only do they need a fifth starter, they need to have a plan for starters 6, 7 and 8 for injuries, ineffectiveness and inclement weather. Balazovic, Duran, Sands and or Stroman will need to progress quickly. If they do not trade for a starter and sign another aged starter the rotation could be Gray and rookies in a quick hurry.

    Pardon me for thinking that the topic was pitching
  14. old nurse
    The mechanics of how a softball is pitched is not similar to baseball

    Cueto has been injured during parts of the last few seasons. It is hard to eat innings on the IL

    Since it is 24 hours later is it fair to ask if anyone knows if the source is the same one as Vodka Dave’s for the Dozier trade?
  17. old nurse
    You likely know the meaning of truncated. Paying someone less for a shortened season is not truncating a contract. The Twins agreed to pay Donaldson 40.5 million over 2 seasons. When the season was truncated, the contract was reduced accordingly. However, the contract was not shortened.,

    Fangraphs uses a projection system based on what the player has done in the minors. When Gordon was in AAA in 2019 he stunk. That shattered his ranking methodology. Gordon was a versatile replacement level utility player last year. If he doesn’t advance past that his career will last as long his willingness to be cut and move on. We’re there 36 better prospects? If everyone progressed ad the model say the answer is yes. Thus far it would be safe to say at this moment Lanarch and Rooker haven’t met the projections. Blankenhorn got his cup of coffee and shown he is similar to Gordon in value. He was also similar in ranking. Will Gordon prove his fangraphs rating as wrong? Well, consider all the lofty top 100 rankings he had. He proved them wrong, he can certainly do it in the other direction

    Don’t have anything to do with the news of the world. Looking at the time of the post, you sure it isn’t the Schlitz Blitz not the catching?
  20. old nurse
    See Berrios.

    That Blackburn was a top 100 in Baseball prospectus and nowhere else should be an indication something is wrong with the metric. That Blackburn was number one when others had him so much lower should be a clue that something is wrong. You can call it a fact, but it is an opinion that is so far out of line with others it should be a red flag unless you a mocking prospect rankings. If you were mocking them, good job
  22. old nurse
    With the added tool pf hindsight people can be so much smarter
  23. old nurse
    The author lost all credibility calling Nick Blackburn a number 1 prospect in an organization that had some gimpy catcher at the same time. If you tru trail hard you could maybe even remember the not great power hitter;s blame.

    The owners are locked into a stadium that basically has one road in, one road out. Ratings gets them a good tv contract. The fans care, but likely can’t use most of a day to attend.

    Perhaps the truth myth is in the people who are complaining of the 3 outcomes. HR/9 is up only about 0.2 a game. About every other game there is one more HR per game. Babip has been hovering around .295 for a long long time. I would like to find the stat on weakly hit balls then versus the strikeout now. The math gurus in FO seem to think the outcome is better. Babip likely has stayed static because of shifts. There are a lot more strikeouts. The number keeps growing since expansion.. I don’t know what anyone would think a reasonable starting point for comparison is. Up about 21/2 since the turn of the century. It is not like there is all or nothing On Sano your logic only applies to called strikes for strike three. Prove that he gets called out too much. If he is striking out swinging, that is a different issue and if he was making contact more often he is no longer a .238 hitter
