    They as likely upped whatever they were offering Gibson just to get to the arbitration number, just as Gibson's agent lowered the asking price for arbitration. If Gibson was a free agent he might not see that kind of money.

    One year of exactly 6 My bad, Mejia has been pitching for how long?

    Not ever has he averaged 6 innings a game. That is not a number 3. Swinging strike number is average. WHIP is way above average. They see it and don't swing at it and get a walk or the eventually see one and get a hit. As he will turn 25 there would be a lot of development in a short period of time,

    Twins were a revenue receiving team and thus would give up their third highest pick. Worst case scenario is a late second rounder, probably a third rounder depending on competitive balance picks. For every good player selected then, there will be far more busts or middle of rotation pitchers.

    The value the players thought they had was just not there. Player flaws abound in an analytic age Welcome to the new free agency

    Not even Robbie Grossman expects to be good in the first 10 AB and there are articles containing OMG about 8 AB on a player.

    I suppose no team in the eighties had rain outs with their seasons.

    Charlie Morton is not an ACE. If he did not pitch well in game 7 the Astros might have lost the series despite having Verlander and Keuchel. If Springer did not have the series he did, the Astos might have lost. Winning throughout the playoffs is having enough people step forward and perform.

    Vargas has had plenty of time to learn how to field. If he couldn't make it here when the team was going bad it would be unlikely he is going to do so elsewhere. Position flexibilty is the new oeder. Grossman will also get the same if he does not field better.

    Deolis had a good year as the low leverage guy. They moved on from him. Moved on from Featherstone. Third time is the charm? How about what is making the same mistake over and over again?

    12 rp on the 40 man. looks like 8 were active in mlb in 2017 and the Angels had a pretty good pen last year. There has been some mentioning that the Angels would go with a 6 man rotation. That would mean a shorter bullpen. The back end of the bullpen would need to be a player with options to shuttle when the bullpen wears out

    In the last 15 years the only drafted player the Twins ever let go with little or no major league experience to have much of a career was Evan Meek. The best of luck to these guys, but somehow the odds seem pretty long. Bard could r be the next Bud Norris More of a chance he could be back in Rochester

    What you hope to lose are the 37 games pitched by pitchers with an ERA over 5.4. Lynn has been Pushing Mejia back to spot starter/ injury fill in pitcher would go a long way in cleaning up that mess.

    Steamer has him performing worse than any other prediction model. Use the worse value, it justifies your opinion.

    When not just judge the pitcher on the last game of the season if you are only going to look at one season of work. Better yet, just only consider the last pitch they threw. . When their bodies of work say something else you can ignore it. Makes your case better if you do. Projections have Lynn and Odorizzi to be 1.5 fwar pitchers. So which one is the replacement level pitcher? A projected 11 WAR staff would get you in the middle of the pack.

    If every phenom in every organization pitches to their ceiling , all the old vets on other teams do not decline, Twins pitchers get injured an/or decline, then yes this is a bottom 10 rotation. .

    Just pointing out some of the metrics that would hint at this not being a horrible signing. In front of the iron gloved defense of Detroit I would think that could have an effect on a pitcher's psyche. Small sample size, but Verlander pitched much better in Houston than he did in Detroit.

    Mejia insurance, Gibson insurance, Slegers insurance, last years AA rotation insurance. Anybody but Berrios insurance

    Analytics are those things people use to say a player is better than the numbers. See the Chris Archer threads. Easy analytics to see. that say Sanchez is better than his numbers. SIERRA says he is league average. BABIP says he is one unlucky pitcher, xfip- thinks he is a league average pitcher. That is 2 ERA predictors and a long held belief. The ERA predictors point to a pitcher that would be better than Gibson or Mejia.

    The end result is you have Jordan Zimmerman rather than Sherrzer. If the player does not take the opt out it means they have busted. Hence a team is worse off with a player with an opt out. You have 2 years of a great player or a bust. A situation like Cueto could also arise. One good year and then a very questionable one

    I can't see where it would be much of a positive if he did not opt out for under performing the contract.

    Opening day is March 29. 3-4 months would mean their season was over in June or July, not October.
  23. old nurse
    Out of zone pitches are not the same as bad ball pitches. The context that gives any of this meaning is the woba of o zone contact.

    His floor is what he is. Under 5 IP, an ERA closer to 5 than 4. A hitable fastball and not the best off speed pitches means the Twins really do need 2 starters. It is also why there has been so little ink. His prospect peak has been reached as a starter.

    While it all sounds good the owners still have the power. They are not going to dive away controlled years.. There is nothing the players have to negotiate to give up to get it.
