    Better to have left a little too early than too late.

    League average pitching is a 4th starter? Good luck building a team in a hurry through acquisition by trades and free agency. Of the 396 pitchers listed by fangraphs as starters, Jon Gray ranks as 57th best when he is not having a good year. You call that a fourth starter.

    Your claim of realism is not over the top. That stuff you put out only goes down. What anyone sys is opinion. Players with minimal stat lines or developing pitchers is opinion. You can be skeptical. The only way it is realism is that the the majority of minor league players fail

    The fatal flaw in the argument is Cobb’s durability. Not one single statistic means anything without being on the field

    No one can claim mediocrity for the post seasons.

    UZR 150 doesn’t seem like a number that is stable as a season to season statistic. I would not put much faith in Kirilloff’s numbers at 1B.

    Interesting. Baddoo started hot, but the second half of the season he had a .715 OPS. It was still a good number for Detroit but had a Twins prospect done that would there be the love that Baddoo gets

    Enlow and Vallimont were the current FO's choices on players. They need to be in on a discussion of who to keep. Even though Enlow might not pitch this season he might be worth the roster spot to some forlorn team. Vallimont was projectable as a middle rotation kind of guy before covid. There are enough rounds and enough bad teams to give him a look.

    Getting the respect of players is more about approach and the ability to explain in a manner that they would be receptive to. Some crochety old dude could fare worse with a communication gap and manners. Amazing that Williams could hit without analytics? It was a different era, different style of play. Get over the bygone time. There was a time when 90 mph on a fastball was considered fast. The world changes. Who were the hitting coaches under the so called plan managers. The Twins hired a new hitting coach, not manager. Apple meet orange.

    Kimbrel has an option at 16 million if the Sox so choose. The White Sox made a move and over payed. The Cubs seem very good at getting people to overpay.

    I do hope people read the comments section where they shred your analytic methods

    As relievers still bring it at 38, I would guess that the limit is because they wasted so much time starting
  13. old nurse
    I would. Hope someday you will understand the emotion behind thinking you are important to an organization then discovering you are not. The time he had in Cleveland was the rebound

    Greenie will play where it interests him to play. If hew wants to play here for a year,, great.. In actual results for the league pitching an ERA of 4.16 and 171 innings is a respectable mid rotation pitcher.
  15. old nurse
    In the cold cruel world of data you are correct. There is still the question in the individual completion of baseball does he bring that something that makes a team much better

    If you go out one more year you realize what a fluke 2015 was for Forsythe. The TD habit of only looking at the statistic that would “prove a point is still alive.
  17. old nurse
    Forsythe playing nearly as well as Dozier is like saying JA Happ pitched nearly as well as Riich Hill.
  18. old nurse
    They are similar in that people were expecting a haul after Doziers’s 2016
  19. old nurse
    They were looking at trading him the year before. The Dodgers went with the guy the Twins traded for the year before. .
  20. old nurse
    Healthy is a big if and you forgot the hole at short
  21. old nurse
    The Twins defense will certainly scare any pitchers on a 1 year deal trying to build ack value.
  22. old nurse
    Like the haul they were offered for 2 years of Brian Dozier, at a time when he was productive?
  23. old nurse
    The Mariners have prospect for the position, the Marlins still are not close. A 4 war position player is a good thing, but not a haul.
  24. old nurse
    Polanco’ s value to another team is how much better is he than what they have. A team is not going to give up a haul to marginally improve. The Giants might be the only contending team short a 2B. Why would a rebuilding team trade multiples of the building assets for a player? It is hard to deal when there isn’t a market
  25. old nurse
    Rookie is on the team One of more than 40 players. It is rather unfortunate that he is so old that there should be a hole with his name on it. Dug for the inevitable that is so close. Older still is Garlick who is trying to get himself established. Good thing baseball did not jettison Nelson Cruz or Brian Dozier because they were not a star. Where would the Dodgers be without Muncy and Taylor? In terms of age Rooker still can meet your definition of 22-23 as it shifts to recently 23. Rooker even matches your definition of stars If Atlanta had their injured players instead of who they have, they would have a different team with perhaps different outcomes and the Phillies would be playing or the Brewets
