    Kisting, a late round draft pick provided an arm from Tampa Bay to be the future closer for the Twins

    A site that promotes negativity wonders why people are negative. I don’t know if I should give credit to Cody for starting a semantics argument over the term young.
  3. old nurse
    So not the first straw man article here, definately not the last I have realized why they need so much straw on this site.
  4. old nurse
    Less money than 1 or 2 starters were getting

    Emory Long was a catcher, I figured he had a built in excuse.

    A player has 2 serviceable years out of 10 in the league and this is what the writer wants to bring in? Shouldn’t a writer have a little bit better idea or is it all now just clickbait?

    Heim is probably a sub par bat but a durable starting catcher. He is likely to find a 6 million contract given the state of catching. Texas must have thought they are falling out of their contention window and trying to save some profit The revenue sharing from the loss of RSNs by other teams must be a significant number

    Pretty much it is a 100-110 pitch count for the teams. .

    In Twins history you are correct, in baseball history it was Al Pardo. If the name sounds familiar then you are remembering Don Pardo

    The widow is suing the brother in laws. It could take a long time

    Yup, the Twins need more OF prospects because these are so much better than the 7 they have. Can’t argue with looking at a 1B. It would have been nice if Cody could have raved about Jordan’s defense. I suppose having 2 gold glove 1B shows the Twins know how to coach up defense
  12. old nurse
    Yup, but that means your roster is not set like some people here seem to be thinking . First rule of holes for you is to not be one

    Don't know if he is better. At somewhere around 30 he is stopgap. We would a love a catcher that is cost controlled, can hit and be an excellent catcher. They are harder to find than a true ace pitcher. That is the conundrum. A catcher that can do the defensive stuff and be close to a league average hitter is probably a good get. Whether this is the guy or not remains to be seen.

    The age of the pitcher the batter faces in the minor leagues is irrelevant, especially at the AAA level. The level of baseball played is based on talent. That would be even more true for AAA as over a third. Of the pitchers used at the mlb level had a FIP over 5. This FO has shown little concern for injury history. They have for the last few year had a backup plan for Buxton. Some years not as successful as others

    The small sample size of AAA experience of Jenkins and Walker is part of the reason to retain Larnach. The injury history of Rodriguez is another part of the reason. Poden and Martin (Thank you autocorrect for Rowan and Martin). Have not had sustained success at MLB levels. That is why they have to retain Larnach. The infielder options have a worse prognoses for success than Larnach. We shall see if the numbers put forth by MLTR that people use as for real contracts are accurate. The signings have been for less than what MLTR says, the non tender list is quite long.

    Fangraphs lists 107 players who played catcher last year. 29 had a better than league average OPS. So there is generally not much power there, In terms of batting average only 38 have hit worse that the career batting average of Mario Mendoza.
  17. old nurse
    Did you read the article? Did you ever get better at doing anything skill wise? Not trying to be insulting, it is more wonderment where the thinking behind your statement comes from when there is reasonable information
  18. old nurse
    The players added by the rule 5 draft cab be traded. So it is not true they have to remain on the roster
  19. old nurse
    A player can learn something and improve? Will wonder never cease. With all of the comments on the other thread and some of the reactions here I now understand why the writers have moved away from discussing technical baseball
  20. old nurse
    Farmer was coming off a career year and signed for a “small” raise. Small being relative to a baseball contract, not the real world
  21. old nurse
    There are 34 other players that can be traded Just as I could not find the you can’t DFA any of the 6 until spring I cannot find where there is a rule prohibiting roster moves. So go ask Chief. He might even be so kind as to say where he found the current rules
  22. old nurse
    There are 34 other players eligible for DFA
  23. old nurse
    They can DFA anyone off the roster. That would make them eligible to be claimed for nothing. It really defeats the purpose of putting them on your 40 man to begin with
  24. old nurse
    Pretty much most of the other outfielders have a higher ceiling than Larnach. Larnach has established a floor level. It is above what the others have done. The chance of a minimal raise being accepted is still there until the deadline.
  25. old nurse
    Only the other potential outfielder/DH types have to outhit Larnach. I don’t think the backup catcher or shortstop has to worry too much about outhitting him.
