    The chart states that the Twins drafted 2 superior players and 3 successful player and 6 busts. Each term was defined and results for each team. Inspection of those numbers on the list would allow you to make your own judgments

    Average draft position, not rank of drafting accumen.
  3. old nurse
    The pick of Jay has neither flopped or been a success.

    The guy on sangraphs stated to average 1.5 WAR per year makes a pick successful The bust rate was over 60% for top 10 picks.

    Twins were in the middle for drafting in the first round http://www.fangraphs.com/community/success-rate-of-mlb-first-round-draft-picks-by-slot/

    In the last 10 drafts with picks 4-8 there were 27 pitchers taken. I guess NOBODY got your memo.

    If Jay's ceiling as a reliever is elite then it is still not a wasted pick. Is a shutdown reliever a valued commodity?

    Sweet spot on the bat meets ball. Flat or uppercut doesn't matter if there is not the proper contact. When there becomes enough Statcast data the good professor Nathan will have the variables bat speed, swing plane, exit velocity and launch angles optimized.

    For the investment I would really doubt if Hughes is going to be in the bullpen. Either you can pitch following TOS, or you can't.

    As revenue goes down, limitations on what a team can do with their roster goes up. . Nowhere did I say ever. According to ESPN, they signed the 13 best free agent this winter. In 2014 they signed the 11th best, 2013 number 7. You may not like the players, but they were what was available.

    A career ERA under 4 is a backend starter? 2011-2015 dis not happen?
  12. old nurse
    When people complain that free agents won't sign here, they are not talking about the Josh Johnsons et al. . As far as signing with the Cubs, there are far different circumstances than the Twins for that organization that the players can recognize but many fans do not. 120 million more in revenue will do that.

    Alexi Rameriz, Brandon Morrow, Josh Johnson, Benoit, Orlando Hudson. Man they sure made San Diego better. Shields was the only big name free agent to sign in San Diego in the last 10 years. Scrap heap, over the hill, reclamation projects similar to what Ryan signed. So what is the point of claiming San Diego can sign free agents?

    They need to get to and/or catch the ball. Batting is fine. The differential between ERA and other metrics say that their fielding may be worse than their pitching
  15. old nurse
    Yup, those FA signings sure made the Padres better.

    In the 80's the average fastball was in the 88-89 mph range now it is around 92. More torque, no evolution to compensate, not intelligently designed enough to handle the stress over time.

    IWhat rank a player has when traded is of less than zero importance. What that player produces is. Kudos to Detroit for being smarter than the rankings people if Fulmer continues to produce.

    Who's trade rumor do you want to believe? DeLeon straight up? If that is the offer, Dozier will have value later. The couldn't agree on a 3 or 4th piece rumor? Dozier will lose value due to contract. The contracts given out this winter do not show age is a limiting factor in contracts or consideration of a player.

    88 pages of thread was ignor ance?
  20. old nurse
    Apple to orange alert. Which one is an 8 million a year signing as a free agent player?
  21. old nurse
    The proponents of pitch framing say yes while ignoring past studies showing that it is not a consistent skill. It is not called evenly, with effects for score and inning.
  22. old nurse
    Isn't it command that kept Meyer in the minors?
  23. old nurse
    I do not know. I did not comment on it so why are you asking me?
  24. old nurse
    I would guess the new bosses did not like the outfield play. There goes Davis. I would guess they do not like undisciplined hitting. There goes Bruno and watch the trades for who else goes.
  25. old nurse
    The return on any traded 3b was a pittance compared to value. The free aagent contracts signed were of minimal value. Plouffe certainly was tradeable. The consensus would be it is a bad idea trading for nothing when a player is at his likely peak
