    Jansen had only 4 BS. Contributing cause, but not really considering his peripheral numbers were not horrid. Chargois also had 4 in 39 IP. Each had 1 bad number 1.63 and 1.11 HR/9 Hader had 5 and thus not the reason the Brewers had less blown saves. Saves, blown saves, wins loses are more a reflection of team. Hader and Jeffers each had 5 blown saves. Each also had sub 3 fip. The teams with the least blown saves also had the starters with the most losses. It is very hard to lose a lead you do not have.

    28 BS That is concerning. It is hard to say if it is a bad as you think. The Orioles and White Sox each had only 18 BS. They also as a team lost over 100 games. The Brewers 25 and the Dodgers 26 were near what the Twins had. They were in the playoffs.

    There is still a kind of decent outfielder, ss, lhp and a reliever out there, As the Realmuto trade is still being finalized, trades are still being made.

    The off season is not done. It may be done in terms of free agents, it may not be. It all depends on asking prices Many players still want more than clubs want to pay them, otherwise they would be signed. Player and agents ought to be aware of the Twins financial flexibility. When there are stil deals that could be made the off season is not over.. What is written about the front office needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Look at how many moves were done last year after this date.

    Writers use logic, fans do not. Fans are here and now, Keen observation is looking at the bigger picture.

    For about 5 minutes. When Harper produces less than 5 WAR the complaining will start. When prospects blossom, that were traded for Realmuto who is now long gone, there will be complaining. It is not like the good old days where the team could have traded all of the first round picks between Buxton and Kirilloff plus a couple throw ins and Loria would think he robbed you

    In descending order of size of contract the top 20 for 2017 are: Hosmer, 1.4 bwar, Darvish- out, J D Martinez 6.4, Cain 6.9 Arrietta 3.1 Santana 1.7, Cobb 1.1, Davis 1.1 43 saves, 6 blown ones, Jay Bruce negative bwar, Chatwood 0.0 Cozart 0.1, Mike Minor 3.8, McGee -0.8, Shaw -1.1, Morrow 1.4 , in 35 appearances, Hunter 1.5 in 65 relief appearances Frazier 1.5, Nicasio -1.1, Reed 0.1, Neshek 0.8 in 30 appearances. Lance Lynn was the only player outside of that group to land a contract of more than 10 m/y Last year there were way more misses than hits. In case anyone disagrees, another useless stat from last year. There were 721191 pitches thrown last year. The swinging strike rate was 10.7%. there were 41018 hits. There was way more misses than hits last year

    The 2018 San Fransisco Giant win total with a 203 million dollar payroll.

    Who cares if you are the most expensive team to win 73 games?

    Career ERA first time through order 4.13. Career second time 4.17. If you were going by the small sample size of lust his last year's statistics ast year then his 2.45 ERA as a reliever would say that he could be a very effective pitcher.

    boston Sandy Leon was a purchase, Moreland and Nunez were bargain free agents . JD Martinez and Hanly Ramirez were not a bargain free agent. They traded for Kinsler and Pearce, not giving up much. , The rest of their lineup was their own drafted, or international players. Their starting pitching pretty much traded for except for Price. In 2017 Logan Forsythe OPS .786 for the playoffs. Can't blame him.
  13. old nurse
    if their foresight was the core of the team was marginally better with a year more of experience the adding a pitcher with a career fip of 3.5, a solid workhorse reliever and a player that hit 38hr the year before does show effort.. To think that the 85 win team from 17 could become a ws contender shows neither foresight nor hindsight, merely wishful thinking

    Any realistic scenario that you could come up with that the Twins would be 'going for it" and staying under a 150 million payroll would have still produced a finish outside of the playoffs.

    oops sorry

    Free agents are paid what they are worth is your statement. How was Logan Morrison worth 5.5 million plus the option?

    If Betts thought he could get more then he should have went to arbitration. He set his value by agreeing to the contract Except for one year Harper has been in the 4 range for WAR except for the one year. People remember the one year and forget the rest. Before Heyward signed the contract he had been a 5 WAR player. Heyward at the same age was a consistently better overall player. The point on Heyward that you missed completely is that he got the money then tanked. Sandoval got the money and tanked. They both were still in their under 30 years old prime age.

    Rodney blew six saves and was shipped out to blow more. Ryan Pressly blew 4 and was shipped out and blew 2 more. Duke blew 3 and was shipped out. Busenitz blew 2 and was demoted. The people responsible for half the blown saves are gone.
  19. old nurse
    Betts 20 million, Castellanos almost 10 million. Whatever Odorizzi is getting paid. The tired refrain of players being grossly underpaid before free agency is falling apart. The AAV of contracts seems to be doing OK for the players. It is the length that is not there. Why are teams reluctant on Harper and Machado despite their age? Jason Heyward would be exhibit A. To some extent Sandoval and Hosmer who were also young would give one pause to say youth alone isn't a surefire thing.

    Every major league team got this amount of money

    Cron hit 30 hr last year. LoMo II or reached his potential? Gordon Below average fielder an hitter or slow developing. Cron has been a replacement level 1b/dh with one good season. For 2019 that has value. On the other side of the debate is all about potential and a failure at AAA. You could probably get a plyer that has put up Gordon like numbers for Cron, just not the pedigree

    At the trade deadline they can get long term assets for cruz
  23. old nurse
    You said 100 loss teams.
  24. old nurse
    Orioles, Rangers, and Royals are the race for the bottom. Lat year 8 teams had better records. The climb over the Indians is just as steep as the climb over any other team to get to the wild card.

    fwar likes a lot of Twins players than bwar. One player that fwar does not like is Grossman.
