    Improving Pen?

    old nurse commented on Brandon's blog entry in Blog Brandon

    When people mention get rid of this player or that player just keep in mind that Matt Shoemaker is still pitching in professional baseball despite his time with the Twins. Remember that AAAA players do serve as a disaster plan

    Thielbar, Farrell, and a very outside chance Law could be useful contributors next year. They would all be minimal contracts. Any minor league player is something more than just next year. Long term assets can be defined by anybody's prospect lists You appear to be unaware how many different people like a lot of the prospects the Twin's have

    The rationale behind the comment there is no bad one year contract is that you are not stuck with a mistake for several years. The rationale then for it being false would be that the players should have been signed for longer. The Twins received reasonable prospects for their one year players that they could trade, cheaply cut bait on the untraceable one. This year’s Twins are the proof of there are no bad one year contracts.

    The current Mariners have won nothing. They are better than what they were, not as good as they once were

    Sabato and Severino both made the jump this year and both saw their statistics go up at Cedar Rapids. Trackman data from the games are probably more important than the outcome in the game for the hitters, so the bigger parks, hence is neither a help or a hinderance.

    Montas and Laureano have been suspended for PED Manaea and Bassit would be one year rentals. It would not cost current position players except those who have less than one year of experience. They are not going to take a Kepler contract. Diekman has a 4 million team option for next year, which is what he is being paid this year. The other relievers are arb 1, no huge jump there.

    20 years ago the average speed of a major league starter was 88.7 now it is closing in on 92. The game has changed . Get over your fascination with innings pitched meaning something. It seems like 200 IP means a trip to the IL. That is counter productive. Innings pitched by a reliever also shows limits. It is not once was.

    Liberty and freedom some say. Then there is the subset that has the qualifier of but only if you think like me
  9. old nurse
    It is not really close but over the last 3 seasons who has more WAR, the number 1 or 2 Sano and Buxton, or the lesser prospects of Polanco and Arraez? The health of a club is not who is number one but how deep does the list go for quality major league players.

    Maglie did not regularly pitch in the majors until he was nearing his mid 30s. I hope Ryan has better luck than that
  12. old nurse
    So what if he has a lot of hair.

    In regards to many of the starter or relievers in the Twins system who are not also injured, Is it that you do not accept the notion that you do not ask people to do what they are not capable of or is it that you have some other issue. If it is the latter, just PM me

    The talent level of the pitchers in the Twins’ system is nowhere near the talent level of Griffey as a position player

    In a month you can lose the pennant one month out of a year you can get away with most. Missing a month is not playing most of the season. Darn nit picky people on the internet

    Would you teach calculus to third graders?

    With the number of pitchers not pitching 5 innings the first pitcher out of the bullpen can get the win. Lately Thielbar has plenty of chances to get wins

    My parents never said there was a Santa Claus. Once again, Wrong. A lot of people were pontificating of an extension. I did not accuse them of not thinking. However, claiming that Berrios wouldn't sign would only take reading the right articles over the last few years. I am sorry that I accused you of reading other sources
  19. old nurse
    Fake statistics. Gotta love it. Never mind that Buxton is quoted saying he wants to stay with the Twins. Berrios had stated in the past that he wanted to test free agency and get as much money as he can. It really did not take much thinking to come up with he would be traded.

    Your three points of Burton’s thinking is like Vodka Daves imminent trade pots
  21. old nurse
    That is how it is supposed to work. The person forgot to mention that you are also supposed to pick the correct person in the rule V draft we were year
  22. old nurse
    You defend a FO. Now that was a good laugh
  23. old nurse
    There appears to be a plan until Albee’s does the opposite and Mr gasoline actual did what he was paid tp do
  24. old nurse
    Wow, a better record when you give up 5 or fewer runs. In a season filled with injuries people should be amazed that they has that many under 5 run games and the corresponding record in said games.

    Johan Santana was a stashed 21 year old rule V prospect who had not pitched above A ball. There are zero similarities in his path and Duran’s. Other than parent organization name.
