    Al Jackson and Mike Harkey may have been the only previous pitching coaches Harkey was the pitching coach, Don Baylor the hitting coach.

    One would hope that GMs have learned not to give large contracts to LOGYs. Sipp has been on the bad side of mediocre and Bastardo was so much worse that the Pirates gave him a paid vacation. Where is the link to the rest of the story?

    First name that popped into my head. Colin Walsh for the Brewers in 2016 spent half the year there. Jabari Blash for the Padres. It happens that clubs will stash a position player. A team like the Padres. The teams near the bottom most likely to stash a player have a 1b covered , but that doesn't mean much sometimes.

    Stuart Turner says hello.

    They show their loyalty and support by not coming back to the park

    Revere for May at this point is still an even trade. The risk adverse Ryan gambled and lost on Meyer. Span had a couple good years with the Nationals, If he wasn't traded the Twins still would not have been much different of a team. People want the GM to take a gamble, but only if it works.

    KC won a championship with a 2 year rental, but in the longer term it bit them.

    No, I don't. celebrate doing something well at work It is called a job. You are paid to good work

    The bat flip is no more spontaneous than the setting the bat down, doing duck duck goose or any other celebration.

    Awesome correlation? Are the Twinsdaily posters then Vladimir and Estragon? Rambling and bickering about nothing,

    Your write up shows the problem with stat line scouting.
  12. old nurse
    Interesting how there are times when winning your division is not winning anything and making the wild card game over another team is actually winning something.
  13. old nurse
    If they were so fine in an evolving game why are they available?

    Adding a quality FA and Gibson arbitration would likely get Slegers off the 40 man, Stewart could also be a casualty. Enns is borderline, being left handed is the good, low strikeouts to the bad. Rodriguez doesn't get much love over at minor league ball but his numbers look respectable enough to keep. Some of the stuff I have read says that he could be really good as a pitcher.

    Baseball by analytics de-emphasizes a human element is involved in the game.

    People should not be saying that the Pohlads are adverse to losing money for the reason you state. They really should be saying that the Pohlads are adverse to a negative cash flow. That is really what most people are saying when they say Pohlads do not want to lose money.

    From SHipley Guys that are able to extend and release up front tend to have the ability to throw the ball over the plate, where they want throw it," he said. "But there's a lot of other data that goes into the process."

    John Farrell and Dusty Baker would agree this year. Davey Johnson Terry Collins, maybe even Ron Washington would think you are right

    The original poster said by playing time. Baseball Reference uses at bats, So when a player walks or sacrifices, it did not count.You do not have to hold a bat at the plate to get playing time. You can hold a bat and only show up in 3 innings. Edwin Diaz is a 22 year old for Seattle By weighted AB, he did not play. All he did is pitch in 66 games, 66 innings and got the last out when the game was still in question in 24 of them By AB he never played. ESPN has the Twins older, but they say the Twins used 35 players, not the 52 listed on BREF. Again, go ask they guy who posted it for the source. It is probably as flawed as the baseball reference age calculator that is being quoted
  20. old nurse
    The other guy was clearly stated as the person saying the ages were weighted, go ask that person. I have no clue where he would dig something like that up. Maybe he has time, energy and know how to sort the files.

    The Twins pitching staff is old because the used Gimminez as a pitcher With Belisle, Breslow, Colon, Perkins, hopefully not Gimmenz pitching and the handful of older prospect tried out likely not coming back to the major league roster it would shave a couple of years off the average. The other guy posted average age weighted by games played. That would make a difference. The chart you cited includes pitchers who batted, also making the Twins position players seem older because all of the old pitchers are included in the average age.

    It is a good thing to have a lot of prospects when you have 3 90 loss seasons in a row. Note that Gihara at 19 was once rated as a C* prospect that blossomed, for those lamenting all the C, C+ prospects the Twins have
  23. old nurse
    A BA of around .300 and the hope that power develops. Look at Rosario. Unless this year is the outlier, power develops a little later in some Morneau was 22 before he started crushing Last year was really his first year of playing a full season. Parts of his game are good for the level he was at, parts not. Welcome to the mid level prospect.
  24. old nurse
    Felix Jorge is number 7. Gibson is only retained if their preliminary sniffing around for trades is not encouraging. Likely a FA with upside that nobody here will be excited about so Gonsalves or Mejia are in the minors. That would be my best guess.
  25. old nurse
    The new direction that the minor league development under Falvey won't let Stewart reach his potential? Come on, where are the Twins colored glasses.? A new year with new plans and coaching he could get there. Optimism. Goofy emoji here.
