    I think for the season you can throw the stats out. Once the sell off started it becomes spring training for next year. The pitchers seem to be left in to pitch counts. Outfielders are playing to determine if they are viable for next year

    You provide what reasoning that sets Miranda apart from any other player other than not having failure at the major league level. Nobody has proven they have an upside as the 4th outfielder better than Cave.. The shortstops at AAA have an upside? Throwing away the remainder of this season has an upside? That is logical?
  3. old nurse
    Immediate gratification is what many want. It is an ugly look. Miranda's OPS at AAA is not really any different than Rooker's, Celestino's or Cave's at AAA this year. I have not heard one bit of reasoning why one should expect anything out of Miranda when others with the same OPS this year have failed miserably on the MLB level this year

    There are about 16 games left with teams with something to play for and the rest are the no way playoff teams. The games with the now way playoff teams should be a toss up. against the winning teams they should be losing more than they are winning The wining streak of series was encouraging until the Yankees. The old comic hero's line of "It's clobberin' time" always seems to hold true when the Yankees play the Twins. Maybe the group players with their first time playing in Yankee stadium had an effect. You know, the stadium is hallowed. Maybe the clubhouse attendant in Yankee stadium switched a clothing item and something something was squeezed too much. So much for the excuses of why I might be wrong with my guess of 20-21 because 15-26 is too low

    Miranda could always just catch the light rail to Target Field

    If Bauer’s contract is voided they have 190 million coming off the books

    48 million in contracts, 6 arb eligible players. 1.25 million buyout. The corner outfielders and backups are not even arb eligible, nor is the second catcher , nor Arraez. The same holds true for the back of the bullpen. The Twins can afford a high level starter, SS and bullpen addition. It is not either or

    It may be considered a starting point but right now 13 teams are below the floor. In 2019 it was 6. The teams at the top of spending and the bottom of spending will not go for the proposal.
  9. old nurse
    The cold reminder on these list is that Arraez and Taylor have been as valuable as Buxton and Sano without spending time anywhere near their level on past lists.

    K% is almost the same as his OPS. OPS under .500 for the last month. Time for batting practice in St. Paul
  11. old nurse
    Major league average is 23%. The closer to average Sano can get the more productive he will be. The point he would be considered very productive is subjective. When he is moved closer to the 3 spot in the lineup would be the indicator for very

    The best young shortstops are not available. Tattis, Bichette and Adames are the young shortstops. The listed free agents are getting to the point they will be past their prime with a long term deal. Look how quick so many middle infielders have dropped performance after 30. They may all be looking for that big payday but I don’t think anyone will go much more than 3 or 4 years
  13. old nurse
    A fallacy is that Maddox never struck anyone out. In an era where the average K% was down around 16% Maddison was around 19-20% in his prime. Other than Johnson none of the al time strikeout leaders has eye popping K%. They had innings. Jax is at small sample size and early career. Give him a chance to learn what not to do. What is now and in the minors may have nothing in common with the finished product

    Thinking Moran is major league ready and potentially very useful bullpen arm he should be rated higher. Look at this year’s bullpen to see the value in relievers
  15. old nurse
    2/15 for Schoop. In baseball not a lot of money but very few here would gladly take it
  16. old nurse
    Yet for all of the consternation about Arraez playing someplace, it is all how you want to look at it. Take a look at those players with 100 total AB for this year, 3b Arraez sits as the 17th best. OPS this year of the 61 players . 19th for the 71 players for LF, and 21 for the 68 at 2B. Below average number, above the median for players playing. 128 place out of the 399 players with 100 AB Arraez is the utility player. Compare him to the other who do what he does

    On April 3 and 4 the Twins were on course to be in first place. They are on course to finish the season. They could be the worst team, they could be the 13-14 worst team. The baseball seasons for prospective draftees I has another full season to go. These maybe the 5 best, maybe not

    My quote was from the teachings led by a man of God, an educator, nurse and one heck of a person in addition to all of that. Who am I call the most honest person I know misquoting someone.
  19. old nurse
    If the negotiations with Buxton were such they did not think they could sign him he might have been traded, The Berrios trade depends on how the prospects pan out. If Berrios is adamant about testing free agency the team can try their luck then. It could end up a real steal. The rest of the trades are something for nothing, and the prospects are free
  20. old nurse
    Maybe it is thrifty of the Twins not to have to fly a player back and forth to the minor league team. The author and editors made the game story about potential trades, I can make a joke of things, too
  21. old nurse
    If my faulty memory is correct, Bill Smith is no longer with the Twins. I think he has been gone for a decade. Falvey and or Levine did not make the Santana trade, nor the trade for Delmon, nor for Matt Capps. Any mention of players from San Diego is pure speculation
  22. old nurse
    Collective bargaining by baseball started slightly more than 50 years ago. Free agency a few years after that. The Yankees were sold 50 years ago for 10 million, now they are worth short of 6 billion. Not the 100 times more, but I think George (RIP) and Hal came out far better than the players.

    The end result of the playoffs in 2019 was the pitching of the good pitchers sucked. The Bomba squad was mostly silent. That isn't on the front office when players play good to great in the regular season and fall flat in the playoffs.
  25. old nurse
    Funny, I do believe the Yankees won more championships during the 40’s than they do now.
