    Baseball trade values is for fantasy baseball trades to help those people determine a good trade. It really has nothing to do with baseball on the field. A mid rotation starting pitcher for a batter who is having a a below average season for a starting corner outfielder and a lottery ticket flies in the face of what you say a GM should do

    Dream on.

    Joe Maddon was considered one of the best managers i baseball, he did not last 3 seasons with the Angels. Tom Kelly was considered a great managers, had 3 consecutive 90 loss seasons

    If you go back and look over the primary second basemen over the last 30 years you will find a sad tale. Fangraphs list only 250 as qualified. Their defensive war was based on UZR, it was all they had. SO a career WRC+ over 110 and a career dwar of over 4 produced only 6 players: Utley Pedroia, Zobrist, Marte McNeal, Kent and Alomar. A couple mor bad hitting season, McNeil falls off this list. If you are looking at 100 to 110 WRC you can add 18 more names. Above average offense and above average defense is close to unicorn status. What is competent defense as a measure still has not been identifies

    Maybe the Twins need to become like the Bananas. People go to a vaudeville sow and a baseball game breaks out. Cheap seats, cheap beer, cheap food just brigs out cheap people. That would be fine if the same people were happy with a cheap product on the field.

    WPA ca be such a useless stat. 9 runs, each was equally important for the victory, not all count the same in WPA. Without the first runs, the last have no WPA

    Interesting that the misconception gets repeated so many times that people believe it to be true. You can look at any pitcher other than SWR and see that the notion of twice through the order is false. It is ot even true for SWR when he was pitching well. Early on that may have seemed to be true but there is o way to have enough bullpen arms for just twice through the order. If you pay attention the established pitchers went through 100 pitches, the younger were 90. If it appeared they would go over that limit if they pitched a compete inning, they did not get to start the inning.

    Did you miss noticing that Stewart has not thrown many innings the last 5-6 years? Decent when available is far different than decent. Dealing a player when they still have a little value is better than paying for their medical bills. So is the return for Stewart a decent one? The chances of Outman being a regular starter are greater than Rayne Doncons’ chance of being a regular starter. If you can find a reliever who has pitched about to the same level of effectiveness as Stewart and as few of innings that was traded for more than an Outman type player or prospects that never saw the major leagues, let the world know . Puk was traded. He pitched about as effectively as Stewart and has similar numbers but has been healthier. Puk brought back 2 prospects. Will they be major leagues players? By the time the answer is known, the Miami fans will have forgotten about Puk. Do players get better in a different system? The team from West Sacramento has a history of players turning their career around. Harrison Bader certainly did better here than in his years in New York. The change of scenery lottery tickets might be a better play than low level prospects.

    Schoop, Hudson, nor Castillo were long term answers anywhere after they left the Twins

    Outman’s K% in his rookie year was 31 percent. Rooker’s first full season in Oakland he was at 32%. He is now down to 21%

    They are probably friends with Ron Washington and their kids are or were in the Angels system

    The defense and base running should be instilled in the players by the time they reach the major leagues. Most have been playing the game for 10 years by the time they reach the majors. Hitting is what brings the money so that is what they work on. For an almost bat only player hitting below what the average starter does, it is estimated that Larnach would get 4 million in arbitration. That is a great gig if you can get it.

    Maybe fewer and fewer people care to come to rehash the same negativity over and over again.

    Risk/rewards. If they can get Outman back to what he was his rookie year it is a win. In terms of the outcome of the season, it did not matter if they had Stewart or not at the point they made the trade.
  15. old nurse
    Risk/reward. If the team can figure out how to. Get Outman back to what he was his rookie year it is a high reward trade. Now the likelihood is small, but more likely than the 48th best prospect in the Dodger organization. In terms of this season, it did not matter if they had Stewart or not. They were not going to make the playoffs.

    Perhaps one of the critics could explain how a 33 year old pitcher with years of injuries was going to bring a huge return. The 39 innings he threw were the most he has pitched in this decade. Those 39 innings were also good enough to get him a good raise in arbitration. Despite having more than enough money the Dodgers may let him go. A fringe player like outman is what you get. If the change of scenery theory held true the Twins would have had a decent outfielder.

    Control only in terms of a couple years of service. Arbitration is not cost control. One year of success by a player after years of failure is not establishment

    3 hours later I can kind of remember Ashbury saying something about articles adding well

    The problem is that after 20, 25, 75 games the others have potential and upside that are talked about. Consistent results, not so much.
  20. old nurse
    Yes, that they have to discus relevancy based on nothing but opinions would aptly describe irrelevant

    Tanking is when you trade away your best bullpen pitchers and one of your best hitters in the outfield when you don’t have replacements. Crappy team is what you are left with.

    Attendance in 2023 would say that even with a higher payroll ad a competitive team, the fans did not come out, so indeed the fas are getting what they paid for
  24. old nurse
    So he saved runs but not outs. Once again the validity of making proclamations off from 1 stat is shown

    Another game against AAA pitching to pad the stats
