    The number of second year dies curbs the enthusiasm. As there gets to be more data from better pitching the geeks find the holes.

    No comments yet? I am shocked!

    What fun would it be if they did not do things to draw outrage

    There was something this spring on Zebby why he wouldn’t be a good reliever. I don’t think. Anything has changed in that regard. Royce is all about the Benjamins. He will not be signing any extensions. There is e carat He needs to continue his claim of not having slumps. If he has a cold of September as he did April there might be a remote chance for one I would not be surprised if he was traded in the off season if the offer was right. Luke needs to shag fly balls in batting practice with Sizemore teaching him how to play the outfield Larnach, too

    A chance at advancing in the playoffs or a couple of players that are a role player which is more important? The deadline trade for Ryan was a complete anomaly. Nobody but. The Falvey team saw that one. Likely they had the same feeling about Rojas, but he is not even close to what Ryan was when he got here. They had an offer on Larnach . The owner nixed it. Either it was too good of prospect or the owner did not want to increase the payroll by a million for a platoon player. I would bet on the latter.

    If you look at trade histories, they are also good at not getting much in return. A team has to look at what chances for success they lose for the year with the trade.
  7. old nurse
    A trade takes 2 teams If the offers are not to the Twins liking, they can’t make the trade, if the other team doesn’t want to give up the prospects you like, they don’t make the trade Trading for players that become replacement level players does not improve your team.

    The fangraphs list was published 2 days before the deadline. You are the one making a deal of a late list. So if you want to argue obscurities, fine. 13-14 teams were buyers at the deadline. Preparation for that deadline would have been long before that deadline the fangraphs list is a moot point
  9. old nurse
    So you think they need to just trust what fangraphs says

    At last year’s deadline Tolle was not a top 100 prospect At the start of the year he was rated as their 17th best prospect. Hindsight
  11. old nurse
    One can say they should have traded Ryan last year for what was allegedly offered It is all based on hindsight Arias was well regarded, but not hitting all that well in A+, Tolle would have been maybe a game or two in AA experience. The Twins probably had not scouted that low in the minors.

    Gardy went to the playoffs when he had just a little bit of talent and lost a lot when he didn’t. Win percentage effects the talent on the team the last 4 years of nothing teams was because the FO whiffed on draft pick after draft pick after 2002

    They are all approximations of contribution

    The AAA season started at the end of March. Activated when he was he would have 89 days
  15. old nurse
    Isn’t that called WAR
  16. old nurse
    Why would they have to go through his agent when they talked to him. Buxton has said numerous times he doesn’t want to be traded Are you calling him a liar?
  17. old nurse
    There might be a useful stat for relief pitchers. That would be WPA or WPA/LI. It might be the only time they might be useful enough to overcome their flaws. But it would only be for late inning relief pitchers on good teams. The poor guy who closes or sets up on a bad team would never get a counting stat.

    Toronto and the Twins have been frequent trade partners. If the Twins had anything Toronto wanted that they were willing to give up a deal would have been made. Bateman can play CF, has been a good contact hitter. The Jays have called him up. The Twins didn’t have someone one similar that they would give up.
  19. old nurse
    The Twins were unlikely to include Jenkins, Quick, either of their top SS or catcher prospects in proposed trades. The rest of the controllable players and prospects would be up for grabs. 4 of them were not going to equal Neto

    Position players was the discussion. Bell is at league average as a batter. That would neither be awful or good. That same description could be used for Caratini since he is hitting near average for a catcher. Gray is a minor signing brought back up because of injuries. He really would not.have been brought back up without the failed development of a young shortstop. So if you wish to say awful vets when talking about position players, please feel free to define awful. Kreidler did not have even a year’s worth of service time. If you are complaining they used awful veteran pitchers, look at the success rate of the minor league pitchers. When called up.

    Always myopic people who can’t see the bigger picture
  22. old nurse
    Where is he rated as a top 50 prospect?
  23. old nurse
    Lombard was called up. The Twins situation and the Yankee bear little resemblance t each other. Max Clark for Detroit. There have been call up of minor league players on 40 man rosters, but not ones added others than the 2 mentioned.. that is the distinction Ed you missed
  24. old nurse
    The notion that the 5th ranked prospect in the system is underrated is an odd one. Given that these rankings are not an up to the minute thing the question probably should be how much higher will he go.
  25. old nurse
    Would you be happy with a .727 OPS in a hitter friendly league.?
