    Economics. If they do not sign they have no leverage next year. Slot values. 1. Twins: $7,770,700 2. Reds: $7,193,200 3. Padres: $6,668,100 4. Rays: $6,153,600 5. Braves: $5,707,300 6. A's: $5,303,000 The money drops quickly. There is no need for the top three clubs to sign someone for full slot value. Appel signed for 1.5 million underslot . Swanson went 2 million underslot. Moniak was almost 3 million under. Aiken did not sign and lost a lot of money http://m.mlb.com/news/article/183906680/2016-draft-signing-and-bonus-tracker/ http://m.mlb.com/news/article/130246508/2015-draft-signing-and-bonus-tracker/ http://m.mlb.com/news/article/79082538/2014-draft-signingbonus-tracker/ Top picks generally do not get full slot value

    Belisle has 2 bad outings in blowout losses. Molitor continues to you him in leverage situations. I don't think he is going anywhere unless it is a trade. Haley would likely be the next candidate to go if they think a AAA arm is ready. Busenitz might be the next one up. Hildenberger might be viewed as the second coming of Slama. That is his deception works well in the minors but his offering will get killed in the majors

    Of all of the Ryan trades the only minor league he ever traded that amounted to anything was Scott Downs. Ryan brought in quite a few short term players at no cost. A couple players with major league service time were gone for little return.

    Is Dougie Baseball performing a miracle with the Miracle? Some of the chatter here was the team was going to be bad,

    Matt Bush or Justin Verlander? Justin Upton or Ryan Zimmerman Hochevar or Kershaw? Moustkas or Price Beckham or anybody Mark Appel or Kris Bryant. Harper or Machado is win/win Curse of being number 1 Despite the last few years a Mauer over a Pryor.

    Low minor leagues when not on the 40 man

    Wainwright was a starter throughout his minor league career. The head scratcher is Wainwright was the same age and experience as Anthony Reyes yet Reyes was the starter and Adam was the reliever.

    As long as this forum has existed it has been filled with complaints. It is not anything new.

    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.

    The pick of Jay has neither flopped or been a success.
  13. old nurse
    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/
  15. old nurse
    In the last 10 drafts with picks 4-8 there were 27 pitchers taken. I guess NOBODY got your memo.
  16. old nurse
    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?
  21. 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?
  23. old nurse
    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
  24. old nurse
    Yup, those FA signings sure made the Padres better.
  25. old nurse
    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.
