    Granite's 2017 at AAA was a fluke and the .611 MLB ops was the real Granite. If that is the case you should want a better backup than Granite. If he is a developing player with a few things to work on, then he needs to be in AAA playing every day. The guy on his tail is Wade. There are no other prospects at AAA. Nor AA

    You are using sire in the archaic use. To many archaic uses of words would not be what they think of. You are looking for the unheralded stud player.

    They might want Granite to be playing every day to start the season.

    Bob Hemelin could have had a great career, but did not. Could be is far far different than is. Swing and miss 9.8%, is nice an ops for the other team was .822 was .750 overall. He is better than Slegers but you never know, Slegers could develop into a number 3

    Mlb will do away with the award like the nba did

    The pitching gurus have not yet brought stability to Pressly. There are likely 1.6 million reasons he will be given every chance in the first half of the season. From there it would depend on how the others have developed. I don't think Hildenberger and Busenitz have had the best of springs. I think Curtiss has been pitching at the end of the games so I don't think he is in the initial choices either.

    Yup Arrietta had a bad season for him. That may have cost him a lot of money. He still got a great contract based on the prior years. Swing and miss numbers are nice. Contact was the problem. An .850 ops against is not very good considering he had a slightly below average hr/9. League average ops was around .750 Some pitchers with command develop late. The issue is quality of pitches besides a slider.

    Matt Kemp says hello. If WAR is based on contracts given there is a huge fault with the over 200 million that players got paid for little of nothing in 2017.

    Strange comp. Mejia is no Kershaw. Kershaw spent only one full year in the minors and pitched on average more than 6 inning per game since he was 22. So Mejia can be Kershaw. Love the optimism

    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. .
