    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.
  4. 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/

    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?

    Nolasco. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Omar Minaya keeps getting jobs. Kevin Towers comes to mind as another job getter that makes bad trades.

    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.

    Santana was on the roster for most of last year and had 248 plate appearances. They were mostly CF. If Santana or anyone else gets that many AB as a CF it would mean that Buxton is either hurt or approaching bust status.. If Kepler, Buxton and Rosario are not playing in over 140 games the problem is not Santana and or Grossman. It is either injuries, lack of development or managerial decision. The latter two scenarios would probably lead to a wholesale change in the holdovers in the coaching staff.

    Elbow injury of some sort last fall. I can't find any more detail than that.

    The edict might have come from above Allen. It would have been implemented earlier if it was his way to do business

    Yonder was a 6 million bet coming off 6 years in the NL with an OPS+ over 100, Park, much more money spent, no MLB history to bet on. Park was the 23 on the roulette table and your weekly paycheck. . Alonso was more like betting on red. with the spare change in your pocket. Can't really say there was an outrageously stupid . Para was mere a stupid contract

    It would be likely the contract for Perkins has insurance. There is no need for the Twins to spend their money for a buyout. If he can't pitch, there is the insurance.

    http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/designate-for-assignment http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/outright-waivers Nothing says they are revocable waivers There is mention of revocable in trade waivers http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/trade-waivers-August-31-deadline

    Why would one use Vegas odds when Vegas is about extracting the most money they can from someone?
  18. old nurse
    Corey Brown, Alex Presley, Whit Merrifield, Matt Murton, John Andreoli, Tyler Ladendorf........ The list of players that are not going to be above average, older, and no longer have the mythical upside is long. These players make up a part of most every team's AAA roster.

    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.
  20. old nurse
    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.
  21. old nurse
    A career ERA under 4 is a backend starter? 2011-2015 dis not happen?
  22. 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.
  23. old nurse
    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?
  24. 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
  25. old nurse
    Yup, those FA signings sure made the Padres better.
