The 3 Yankees poached 2 years ago have been real difference makers. One was returned, hence not poached. One has seen 24 games in two years. One did pitch better, but did not hold onto his SP role and ended up spending time in the minors in 25 Shane Smith did pitch very well. There are mistakes made every once in a while .like once a decade

His salary that he signed for was less than 1/2 noney

A very small possibility that the minority owners have some knowledge that is useful?

Bill Pohlad’s box office from low budget films is 0.7 billion. He has made money. The office market went belly up but their 14 assisted living facilities rake in cash. The approval of money spent is on Jim Pohlad. there are a half dozen CFO, Senior vice president, vice presidents in charge of revenue, They couldn’t see covid coming. They should have seen the demise of the RSNs as cash cows. It is funny with all of the cheap Pohlad themes on this site there is one criticizing for spending money.

Same bat time. Same bat channel

The central division is always going to be able to be had if everything goes well for a team. If a trade is to be made that would either be a sign that Falvey and Zoll think that 2 of Abel, Bradley, Festa and Mathews are ready to step up and be competent full time starters and Ober will return to form. A trade could also signal that they have no confidence in the hitters developing. When they said last year that they liked their roster, I took it as a sign they liked their position players they had. The year that some had could dissuade them, but I think the kind of have a lot of confidence in their process. That process is debatable. That air of confidence leads me to think their opinion is these players will step. Forward. Then again, I have also thought that if this season under a third allegedly knowledgeable hitting coach the offense goes flat again it is strike three and they are all out.

Baseball claimed that 19.4 billion minutes of baseball was viewed by streaming worldwide. The average length of a game was just under 160 minutes . If every game was watched beginning to end, that would be 121,250,000 game views. views. There were 2477 games plus playoffs. Might be off a rainout or two. That is less than 50k viewers per game worldwide. That is not good ratings

The vetting process is probably the concern.. 2 groups of people, not 2 individuals. Between the history of some of the past owners and current owners there shouldn’t be a question of why the long process.

Arby didn’t mention Reardon. I will give him credit for not thinking that the Twins are going to trade for a top 5 closer
-
Yup, and only Aguilera was a closer when they transitioned them

Full roster. Maybe they expect a 1b to be non tendered. They still have plenty of non tender bats they could move on from. Clemens would be 6th on their list in regards to Julian, of course the new hitting coach is going to make Julian back to what he was as a rookie. Same for Outman. Those gaudy numbers Keirsey, McKusker, Roden, Gasper and Clemens put up in the minors are also going to shine through. Well, if it is strike three for hitting coaches does that mean everybody is out?
-
They have a full 40 man, no real closer, 12 starting pitchers. Is the bullpen going to be would be starters every fourth day? That would be a new wrinkle to baseball

Berrios is a number 3, like Ober

The 2 cents ain’t even worth a plugged nickel

Which fans? The ones who say the Illiches are cheap? The ones who say the Illiches are cheap while wearing a knockoff t-shirt bought at the gas stain for $10? The ones who say this group ain’t as good as when they had Miggy and Verlander.? The ones who say the prospects aren’t any good? You know the answer to your question

The players that are minor league contracts with an invite happen now and December. The lower level free agents likely sign late hoping for a better contract unless it is a team they want to play for. Joe made the right size comment in Feb, i doubt that it was an impulse decision. They likely know by November what the budget will be

It is a way to put. Pressure on the owners, so the insider might have leaked something with Buxton’s. Knowledge of it.

They likely are not in a contention widow unless the add itching. The lack of pitching behind Skubal doomed them. Their batters had career years even after fading down. The stretch

Not is not true according to the rumored asking price

In the early days of TD there was a kerfuffle over BABIP and pitchers. The pitcher I think was Maddux. That long ago. The comments on regression. I found a Tom Tango piece that said that for pitchers BABIP normalizes at about 1000 innings. That would be somewhere around 4000 batters. So for the batter it should normalize in 4000 PA. By then the aging curve has set in

Falvey has not traded a front line starting pitcher. You can’t hold him accountable for what came before him

My bad for not adequately defining star. My mind set it to elite, you to very good

League average BA .231, League average BABIP .279. Keaschall’s difference falls in line with league average. Above average ball to bat skills allows for more hits. Above average speed allows for more hits. So if a .340 some BABIP is is luck, Joe Mauer having that for the 14 seasons he played makes him a modern day luckiest player ever.

If BABIP at .340 is abnormally high then baseball isn’t supposed to have .300 hitters. Any good hitter then does not strike out .040 point difference between BA and BABIP I think was about where sustainability is achieved. Can’t remember the exact why of how that worked. It was Danny Santana’s miracle year. Keaschall does have a lot of infield hits as speed helps. He also had a lot of short outfield hits. The defense can’t play up, they can’t play deep

Yup, bottom half of baseball with those numbers. Try again
