    There are a plethora of options for 2b, don't count Dozier as gone. In the hypotheical world Sano comes back and Escobar plays second. It doesn't do Gordon much goos to come up and hit less than his weight.

    A bad start skews the statistics. Since April 30 his K% is 25.2% His numbers may not be as good as the Astro's relievers but they are similar to them in the same stage of development.

    Call it what you will, the statistics sites list it as postseason. The game happens after the season ends. What is undeniable is that for the argument that Dozier does not have post season to be a valuable argument is that someone else available does have post season success.. That is not the case with the OP selections of 2b available players. Kinsler has done well,4 years ago when he was a better player than the last couple of years. With the number of 2b available the price may well be cheaper than a fill in reliever. The Reds, Marlins or Angels may well take a warm body. Manny Machado has a post season OPS of .588. I do not think very many people would hold that against him.

    Dozier has no postreason experience? That was such a forgetable game last year. What would the postseason statistics of Castro and Lowrie say about them versus the SSS of Dozier's wc game last year? Hint Casro and Starlins OPS are about .500 after each has played in 22 games. It makes a case that these two choked whereas Dozier shined.

    Houston's revenue last year was estimated at 347 million by stastica, It was good for 6th place. Winning was worth 150 million more than they made in 2014. It was also 90 more million than the Twins made last year The revenue per fan for the Twins was 45 per fan Getting back to selling out would get them close, but the Astro still could afford one more superstar player than the Twins. Any of the teams it still goes back to having a deep core from within. Even the Cubs did not start adding the talent by free agency until it looked like they had a strong core.

    What do the Twins have that resembles Rizzo, Russel, Casro, Soler at that time, Hendricks and Arrietta with prospect as good as Bryant and Schwarber?
  7. old nurse
    He might not have had anu clue as to what the player's flaws were
  8. old nurse
    The opinions expressed are not like material in insight nor do they inspire further discussion, nor are they so bad that you can resisted nor does any comment seem like much more of the usual rehash

    A prospect that is low level but has a tool or two is not a non prospect. That was the minimal level for a prospect. I stated at the outset. No tools, not much of a chance to make it
  10. old nurse
    Those few players on the cusp are September call ups. No need to clear a roster spot for that

    Dougir houser was not a b student.

    So, do you put a fourth grader getting b grades in a college prep class? Sure they will fail, but what a learning experience. If a player is ready to be called up in July or August they will likely get the call. If not, for experience, a September call up works. If Cave fails Wade will get a chance with or without a trade. Rooker is likely a September call up. I doubt he would get the cal before then. He hasn't even faced AAA pitching. AA was an adjustment at first.
  13. old nurse
    What players have ever benefited from the late season call up and who is the equivalent player now in Rochester
  14. old nurse
    If the return is a non prospect there is not much point in trading the player. A prospect that is low level but has a tool or two is not a non prospect. Balazovic and Moya may be in the same range as prospect ratings go but their ceilings are far different

    No More Rebuilds!

    old nurse commented on carly148's blog entry in carly148

    Where is it that anyone associated with the Twins stated they brought back for leadership for the young pitchers? What young pitchers in the bullpen 27 is not young. Belisle the second half of the year pitched to a fip of 3. That is better than most of his bullpen this year. There is nothing wrong with hoping you could get that again. There is also nothing wrong with moving on when you can't get him to do whatever it was he did last year.

    When you have a team that has 3 batters hitting above league average and maybe 2 position players playing better than replacement level, complaints about lineup construction seem petty It is not like there is much down in Rochester to help. Wade is looking like on paper he is figuring out AAA. When Cave falter I would guess he will get his shot. Molitor and bullpen usage. Molitor uses his bullpen like he has no concern for yesterday or tomorrow. He is trying to win that day. The problem is which pitchers he trusts. Rodney, Reed,. Others fall out of favor when they falter. Hildenberger, Rogers Presslyand Duke fit the profile. Is it the coaching or the pitcher's ability? Questionable bullpen, questionable usage goes hand in hand. It is the easy shot to take.

    Total zone says that Kelly's team were poor fielders. They did not make errors, they did not make plays, either.
  18. old nurse
    Jeff Banister, John Farrell, Mike Matheny, Don Mattingly, Bo Porter, Dave Roberts , Scott Servais Ron Washington say hello. Most of them picked it up just fine with no previous managerial experience.
  19. old nurse
    The cru that the team played better fundametal baseball under a former manager and not now is one of the great I have no statistics to prove it arguments that show up when teams lose that have won in the past.

    Don't think so Kody is from Az. http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1997-08-06/sports/9708050755_1_funderburk-love-orlando-twins

    Choices, consequences. The entertainment industry is loaded with people working for little of nothing, hoping to make it big.
  22. old nurse
    At some point with draft order money does become an issue, Spending more to entice a player or finding someone you can spend less on but still like. I don't think as you get to the later rounds of the draft the difference between a round or two for the players makes that much difference. It becomes what do you see in the player that you can make into a good player.
  23. old nurse
    Websites have him listed as a senior at Clemson. The chooice would be Twins or indie ball
  24. old nurse
    If the players are lucky their season was still going on in high school and college playoffs. The money at the top has an effect on what they can do with the rest of the money.
  25. old nurse
    A strategy that might be effective is to take the best ths player that fell. If they do not sign the pick and money carries over to the next year. Same for the second round pick. That gives the team far more room to play with in 2019. If a college player falls that the team loves that changes things. The rukes of the draft are such that a team has to consider the following year in their planning.
