    But the capabilities of players are not completely a foregone conclusion. Carlos Correa had contributed 34 BWAR to Houston in 750 games played, 10.4 WAR in his 450 games in Minnesota. The acquisitions of. Ryan and Lopez is the other direction. How can you grade when nothing really is certain. If what they bought performs better than expected, it should be a good grade. If you are grading because they did not invest in the team, you have to show they could get a return on that investment. You can’t show that is a possible outcome for the Twins.

    The Hamburger at Meisters is far better than a hamburger at a fast food restaurant. Same ingredients.

    Carlos Mendoza and Minnie Mendoza batted .182 each for their major league career. Mario Mendoza batted .220 for his career and was the inspiration for the term Mendoza Line. So are people ignoring history or has hitting gotten so poor for average that they do not want to rightfully embarrass players?

    This is like giving a restaurant review off the list of ingredients to be used.

    When the Dodgers, Yankees RedSox and Jays can increase their payrolls by 100 million and the Mets and Phillies by 200 million, that skews the average upwards in a trend a lower revenue team can’t match. You can use terms like investment, but then you should explain where the 100 million in revenue will come from for a return on investment.

    Feed the negatives a bone to chew on. Cody is becoming a master at it. So many things have to go right that the odds wouldn’t change for making the playoffs. Winning in the playoffs is now much harder

    Anecdotal events for basing judgements are limited by the tendency to forget what doesn’t fit the thesis. The good old days days always are better because you forget. The bad

    It is a caretaker article. They used to. Say at the bottom to read more become a caretaker. Kind of pointless to have only part of a caretaker article when the staff here routinely complain of cheap Twins

    Yup, said that at one point, still doesn’t change that they have analytics to give them a picture of what the player is about.
  11. old nurse
    The information about what a professional player does on the professional level is all available on Stacast. Do you think they need 5 scouts to go through the information daily when there is a analytics department that can spit the names out of the files for any type of player there is? There is still the amateur scouting departments.

    They cut the guy scouting department down by 4 scouts. With all of the analytics data available through statcast there should be no loss of information. How is that cutting the scouting department to the bone?
  13. old nurse
    Not with most of this crowd

    A. League average ERA is a 4’5 starter or worse by the people here. A pitcher that pitched 100 innings or more is someone that teams on average only have 3 of, yet the people here see no value in that. Pitching that is reliable is a hard commodity to come by in baseball

    Somebody claimed that promotions will significantly increase attendance. Note that there is still no bat night.

    The trade is risk reward. For the Twins it was could they fix a talented player. So far, no reward. Would they lose Outman on a DFA claim? Not likely unless a team is ravaged by injuries. For the Dodgers it was the bet on health. The Twins did not want to afford a player that they have to pay to be continually on the injured list. The Dodgers doon’t mind. If Stewart is healthy for a month, they win.

    The Twins have used pitch counts for starters for the last few years. Lopes and Ryan were at 100, SWR, Festa and Mathews at 80. There is no reason you can’t have a couple of pitchers relieving on an every fourth day schedule The 1 in four chance of Lopez or Ryan pitching in the 7th falling on the fourth day of a long reliever would not happen that often

    Did you forget my first comment? Got to remember next time how short people’s memories are.

    Are there 5 players in the last 5 years with Castellanos’ track record that fit your statement of Twins’ way
  20. old nurse
    It is there to attract attention and get people talking about the Twins. Plausible reason, though remotely possible, there is a deal being discussed for Lewis
  21. old nurse
    Why would you want another bat first player who hasn’t hit in the last 4 years
  22. old nurse
    Yup, saw that. Twins gave them 500,000.

    There is a union and a contract coming up. The union has always sold the younger players out. If Joe should be critical of anything it should be the union

    According to Sportrac the Twins still had 1,067,100 left. I would guess the amount of pool money was around the usual 50k when players are traded for cash. The Dodgers don’’t need the cash, they need ways to spend it

    If the subscriber numbers were decent they wouldn’t have made a deal with ESPN. The numbers were so low it was reported that MLB gave the teams $10m that had streaming.
