    Simply put the report says something they have done.. It may reflect all they are going to do, it may not. It all depends on how you choose to see it. They brought in a lot of players last year. Given their ages Cruz and Lowrie may well be 1 year signings with options

    The Twins asking for medicals and $ for 3-4 players looks like bullpen and MI fishing. They could be looking at players in need of a rebound year to increase their value. Any of the non tendered players also might fit this description.

    To reach a record payroll the FO signed a team record number of free agents Of that group the bargain basement Duke had the best season. Complaining about total payroll spending is missing the issue. The Twins could have a record payroll and be worse than 2018 if the money is not well spent.

    no he had1 great season, pedro florimon away from Coors field
  6. old nurse
    It means that he was overused 3 seasons.

    Reed has pitched a lot of games per year. Most pitchers break under that load. The hard part is knowing when.

    It is hard to have an intelligent conversation with that sort of hyperbole like the TSA bit. I do not know what security has prevented or stopped. I don't see much publicity on that. You do hear about incidents with loss of life. Knowing only a little is not terribly useful for making broad judgements.

    Simple is like yes/no Simplistic Security inside a stadium will not make it safer.

    Goldshmidt would be nice. One year of him is worth a prospect better than a comp pick. Two or three high risk high reward prospects will be the likely return if he is dealt to a non contender. As far as Carlos Santana as plan B goes Tyler Austin has a chance to provide what Santana has done the last 2 years. I do not think they would deal for Santana. Austin was brought in for a purpose other than to save a couple million dollars.

    Relievers are different than position players on the aging curve.

    Yoor response showed that you make a simple question a hard one.
  13. old nurse
    It was a simple yes/no question. Nothing more until you made it so.

    So they should wait until there is an event to have security?

    http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2018/nov/15/sources-wes-johnson-leave-arkansas-twins/ “If you get into biomechanics, you find out really fast that a pitcher cannot repeat his delivery," Johnson told WholeHogSports in 2017. "You’ve got over 600 muscles in the body. To think that the roughly 240 that we use in pitching are going to fire at the same time - you’ve got a better chance at winning the lottery. TrackMan gives me a chance to show guys a consistent release height and some things we can repeat." Johnson has spent the past two seasons with the Razorbacks and has been credited with the development of several high-round draft picks and prospects, including Blaine Knight, Trevor Stephan, Kacey Murphy, Isaiah Campbell and Matt Cronin.

    Given the FO's apparent aversion to age there is little chance of them signing these players or trading for Santana

    Lo Mo II. Short term fill in, not likely to be effective, not likely to have upside, only decline. Any of them should not have more than a one year contract. The time to have had any of these players was in Molitor's first year of managing.

    Adaptability to technology not age is the key. Does grips, arm slots and mechanics even matter at the mlb level? The technical equipment analysis should be able to spot the deviation in mechanics. We shall see what they do in the minors. It could work, it could blow up in their face. Time will tell. How instantaneous must the results be for the fans

    LeMahuie has a career ops of .673 away from Coors Field. He had one monster year then pedestrian numbers. I do not see him as a dumpster dive, nor is he going to be a top free agent, either.

    To pass off Machado's defense with the Orioles as bad analytic is to ignore the previous three years where the shortsop play for the Orioles was above average in terms of DRS and UZR. Perhaps the better exuce for the numbers for Machado was that he was not terribly motivated to play in losing causes with a historically bad team despite it being a contract year.

    Bref lists Belisle as being on the 40 man. Most would and should assume gone as Belisle was signed to a one year contract without options.

    Who gets protected is dependent upon who gets designated. Hildenberger, May, Reed, Rogers are not going anywhere. Busenitz, Curtis, De Jong, Drake, Duffreyl, MaGill, Moya, Vasquez versus Reed, Anderson or Jay. Likewise they have Gonsalves, Jorge, Romero, Slegers, Stuart and Thorpe. A few are obvious still keepers, but how many do they protect ? Would nay team really want to keep them? Arraez and Rortvedt are interesting calls. Arraez is a throwback type 2b On base but one at a time. Some team will think they can teach Rortvedt to hit well enough to be backup if his defense is good. He is barely 21. It would seem unwise to leave him available given catching talent in the league. Does a tanking team take him for future value.

    Player performance is on the player. A manager can try but as in the rest of the world job performance falls on the person performing the job. If the player can not tell that they are doing poorly any hope is lost. A manager can tell the player what they do not know. If the player is under performing, they probably has the knowledge. Player injuries are not on the manager. Molitor may well have better players than he had the year before. Is Molitor to blame for Santana"s injury, Dozier's later claimed injury, Mauer having age catch up to him,
  24. old nurse
    Dozier in 2018 was better than Dozier in2017? the plaatoon of CF was better n 2018 than 2017 Sano was better in 2018 than 2017 A half season of Polanco is better than a full one? Mauer played better in 2018 than 2017? If they got better players you forgot how poorly the others played to take advantage of it. Kyle Gibson was better in 2018, Berrios was better in 2018. Lance Lynn or Big Sexy Odorizzi or Santana? overall pitching was a little less than .5 runs, batting was also down by a little more in actual runs, down 7 by wrc*

    What would it take for Realmuto? The fire sale was last year. It would take an A prospect from sickel's list and a B prospect as well as another prospect or two. They would likely throw Castro in. Why would you want Castro. When the Cubs became good, he wasn't. He did not do all that great for the Yankees. He did great for a bad Miami team. DO you think the Twins will be bad so he will be good? Arizona nor San Fransisco might not be deconstructing, It would take similar Realmuto to get either of them. Myers is injured as often as he is healthy, why bother with that? Panik had one good year, why bother.
