    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?

    Apple to orange alert. Which one is an 8 million a year signing as a free agent player?
  5. 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.

    Isn't it command that kept Meyer in the minors?

    I do not know. I did not comment on it so why are you asking me?

    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.

    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

    The leg weakness last year I thought stemmed from batting. How did he hit without using leg muscles before? The whole leg weakness thing sounds like there is something wrong and they have not figured it out yet

    Wow, great example of how people have no honesty when looking at an issue

    They have a program to filter and sort. Any program is only as good as the effort that went into it. The number just seems off. The total AB of the teams are very different. The filter could be including all of the AB of a person who played DH. The same time period though shows how underperforming the Twin's bats have been So it seemed unlikely that they were using all of the AB of the player or the Twins were really effective in their use of the DH given the players they had. There are people out there who have access to better tools might be inspired to look rather than take fangraphs word for it. Like this response, I really didn't want to spend any more time on it.

    Unscientifically, because I am not trusting their filter, fangraphs leader board by team has the Twins with 117+ wrc for DH from 2011-2016. Good for 6th place in the AL. They would then have as a team WRC batting of 92. How they have used the DH would be, if those numbers are accurate, decent enough. Better if they had kept Ortiz, but there is no saying that Ortiz would have had the same last 7 years either.

    A starting rotation oh Hendricks, Arietta, Montgomery, Cahill and whoever else is in their system might be in the playoffs, but not for long.

    I do not think anyone has ever said they are bad due to payroll. Payroll limits what you can add. The bad is not due to the one or two players you can not add. Payroll comes into play when you are good trying to achieve excellence .

    The Twins can afford a Lester type contract. Joe Mauer currently has the club big contract They can't do two of them while having 5 other player earning over 10 million each.
  17. old nurse
    Depends on who they replace Lackey and Hammel with and how Lester and Arietta age. Underwood bombed in AA, anyone else is a ways off. Zobriest is 35. Montero is 32, Fowler is a FA and the wrong side of 30. Years and years might be 2

    Sean Manaea says hello and thanks for the coaching in KC farm system. Down the road a couple more years will be a better judge of the draft.

    Larger sample size, Atlanta
  20. old nurse
    Look at Atlanta's playoff record with the staff they had. Johan Santana is 1-3 in the playoffs. You need 2 of the best starting pitchers, it is still a crapshoot if they are going to rise up.
  21. old nurse
    Morales was their best bat last year. What can his production be replaced with? 11 million, 1.5 buyout. Unless the number crunchers figure that somebody good will fall through the cracks, he probably stays.

    Pitching for a bad team does not help determine if a relief pitcher can hold a lead. For a career on poor teams Kintler has not blown leads at a rate any worse than the better relief pitchers do in terms of blown saves to holds and saves. It is not pretty, he is not lights out, but effective. Ryan O"Rourke has pitched in 54 games in the majors. He has neither a save, hol, or a win. Low leverage pitching . I don't think he or Boshers would get claimed. If they did, there would likely be some else similar available.

    Dueling SSS. The statistics would bear out that Ploufe nor Mauer play very well nicked up The new management needs to keep that kind of player on the dl as it only hurts the team. The selling of any player requires someone to want them. At their age, for Dozier or Santana to be moved it would be likely to a team that thinks one of them will make them a contender. In a weak FA market Santana does have value. If Santana can be viewed as he can be the third starter in a playoff rotation he will net more than a team looking for innings being eaten. A trade should net you a better long term player than an accepted QO next year.

    Can't take Faedo. There is a Lenny flashback

    It is hard to believe the Molasco statement given the Twins' history of sinkerball pitchers. If Nolasco had a decent sinker , by history the Twins would have exploited it. If there was a change in pitching style for Molasco, teams will catch up and he will return to baseline.
