    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.

    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.

    Extending the relief pitcher is only going to extend the inning for the offense in the extra AB. they get Quality of relief pitching goes down without situational substitutions. The quality of relief pitching goes down when you think of pitching them multiple innings. Think Perkins as a starter vs a reliever. In terms of a television game, ratings seem to fluctuate with w/l record. The concern for the team and networks is the number watching. There is a chance that for a long time baseball has been watched in intervals, not complete games. There wouldn't be the pressure to shorten a game if that is the viewing pattern

    The savvy is debatable. 3 years of an Ace, 4 years of a cost controlled almost Ace, a closer, a set up man, years of an above average starting CF and a rental of a 3b and you have Moncada, Jimenez, Kopech and question marks.

    SubQ shot. He can't claim it was an accident unless he found a doctor to precribe it for mood elevation. He has reasons to be of low mood. Ipamorelin allows faster recover from workouts, doesn't put on the fat while adding mass. In that respect it would have the potential to enhance performance

    Garcia is still available.

    Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Damn, if only.

    Given the last couple of years of Miley's career he might be looked at as depth for AA

    The issue is getting in. If you want to start a debate about removing people go ahead. If you want to argue standards for persons vary on situation I would agree. Just look at people's voting habits in politics.

    Times change, what happened off the field matters.

    That stat assumes stability in launch angle and speed off the bat, neither of which is mentioned as a stable trait in batters. The article states "Orioles third baseman Manny Machado produced a .335 wOBA in 2016. But based on the quality of his contact, his xwOBA was .357." Dis Machado regress because of poorer launch angles or exit velocity, better defense as his number of singles dropped or other factors? Predictive exercises can be entertaining, but might be of the same usefulness as the abduction/adductor machine

    UZR is not static for any ballplayer.

    When was Duke, Reed or Rodney ever traded for a high level prospect?
  21. old nurse
    Contracts this year are topping out at 3 years. Maybe there is not much movement because clubs are balking at giving away money at the back end of contracts. Analytics does have some usefulness to the clubs. It is not like there are got to have players out there. Very good players to help a team, but not anybody with a very long window left.
  22. old nurse
    Did I say anything about making trades? Adding words and meanings to someone's arguments. I am sure that every team would love to give up a top half rotation starter for Nick Gordon and a bevy of low ranked prospects
  23. old nurse
    So the Twins can get a top starter with multiple years of control left from a team that looks to contend for little of nothing.. Last week's holiday, or the holiday 4 months from now?

    When one reads the comments made by people on pitchers not named Darvish (who is neither 2 pitchers nor has pitched every fifth game for a whole season in a while) one could easily think that the team would be better off without someone else's reject.

    Santana, Berrios, Gibson Mejia, May, Hughes, Slegers, Jorge, Gonsalves, Romero, Little and Stewart or Ens make 12. The first 4 the team should have a pretty good idea of what they can do, good or bad. 2 are medical mysteries, Slegers is your AAAA emergency pitcher, The next 4 is the development squad that the OP would appear to be targeting as see what you have. Stewart or Ens makes it a Baker"s dozen. If you believe that Santana will age decline, Gibson will revert to bad Kyle and Mejia is a fringe starter, the poster has a point to wait and see if you are in contention. Given the postings about Santana and Gibson, the wait and see approach is as good as any. The position is more tenable considering the negativity towards any FA not named Darvish
