    If you are questioning the veracity of what somebody else says like the post I responded to, the perhaps the poster should include where he found the quote because after all he was just another person on the Internet

    Aren’t you someone on a message board. Why should anyone then believe your statement?

    The Twins gave him a qualifying offer. If Gray wanted to be here, he would have been.

    The architects of the team have not gone anywhere. Several have been promoted. To think Baldelli is going anywhere is ignoring these same architects gave him the extension. The only reason they would fire him is if he criticized the acquisitions. He has not done that. For Baldwin to go anywhere Jim Pohlad would have to fire the whole organization., including Joe. That is not happening until maybe after the next CBA is done.

    What did they see in Outman? More of a chance for success than any other player offered? Why did they trade Brock Stewart? The insurance premiums were higher than his salary.

    Many articles and comments do not age well.

    6 months ago they were touting. Ober as a Cy Young candidate on these pages.

    Other is listed as .80 million. Sportrac has the Twins retaining 10 million, The other could be the salaries of anyone on the 40 man roster who are in the minors who have played in the majors as their salaries are higher and count in luxury tax computations. Or it could just be anticipating a rookie making the team

    I see league average stats used to say if a payer is good or not. They are worthless for assessing a player’s skill. Look at the sheer number of poor performance by minor league call ups, backup catchers, half of the regular catchers and the player on a contract that the team plays because they feel that they have to and you can see a very large population of players. Sort stats by position for batting until you get that 30 that have played the most. The median player will be far better than league average

    Well, ask yourself, does any of these jobs look like they. Are producing anything.

    The Johnson boys should have been replaced long ago. It is on Falvey that they still have a job. Noah Miller is not knocking on the door to MILB, more like a barely audible tap. Every mediocre batter is hoping he will become the full time SS for the Dodgers. League averages for everything would drop

    The author used a theoretical number. The x-stats are also the theoretical numbers. Using babip as a predictor is theory. Nobody ever has a reason why the player is meeting the theoretical threshold. .

    Yup, the Phillies sure are a losing organization. They have been selling Painter as the next great pitcher. yup, 3 years minimum, Skenes still should be in the minors, as should Dylan Crews, Wyatt Langford, and quite a few others from the 2023 draft

    When. The Twins had options of developing relievers and position players in what amounts to fall instructional league they picked up every bad reliever they could. Erasmo and Urena were not bad enough so hey we’re DFA. Of course it is. A tank

    Well, he has the second lowest BABIP for players with 300 PA. Maybe he is an unlucky dude. People here say an extreme BABIP is a measure of luck. Savant has all sorts of nice numbers on his page https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/kody-clemens-665019?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb I don’t know why the twister in chief did not include those numbers. I looked at Savant because when I looked up his BABIP, I had to see if the .236 was the worst. , Wallner’s was only slightly better and I had to see if Clemens was as slow as Wallner. He is not.

    The 2023 team spent money. They were in first place in the division all year except for a couple of days. Their record at the end was exactly the same as the 1987 Twins. There was an increase of about 2000 fas per game, still about 18000 empty seats. The fans sent a clear message to the Pohlads

    That people do not understand that pitching harder is more stressful on the body does not surprise me That people don’t understand that human bodies are all a little different and hence some people’s tendons are not as strong as others are doesn’t surprise me. The tendons are what they are and there is not a whole lot you can do about it. It is what it is. There is no system problem That pitchers had to get faster with pitch’s to counteract hitters getting better should be a basic concept. Pitching slower would not be the solution Merril Kelly is the outlier for right handed pitchers with a mid 90s FB.
  19. old nurse
    Yup. Steroids help recovery Blyleven was in the low 90s, a lot less stress than in the high 90s.

    The promotion of players won’t do a thing for attendance. I was there more fans out to watch Ryan pitch? How about when Keaschall came back.? I early June when the Twins were playing great after starting slowly were there any more fans? Yes playing a pile of AAA and fringe major league players will not and should not draw fans. Hometown players, big contract players, and all stars were not drawing them in, either

    Rocco is managing to get higher draft picks. Hopefully the new minority owners know how to draft in the first round. Rocco is also going a fine job of putting bad relievers in a position to fail. They just are not quite good enough. Topa is another example of not buying into an outlier season.

    Lewis has not played a full season of games since 2019. He is suddenly going to be healthy and speedy again? He is core and doesn’t play a full season. That would be a stretch to call him core. Be careful when you stretch Royce. You might hear a pop. Larnach is below average in hitting for a starter, and does not play defense well. He has a career bwar of 3.5. A career fwar of 2.9. Why would anyone think he is going to get a 5 million contract? What comparable player has received that? As far as trade value, maybe a little something in spring training if another team’s outfielder gets injured and the prospects are too far away from ready. Ryan and Lopez are in the same boat. 2 years of team control. Falvey wanted a lot for Ryan at the deadline. Nothing has changed. There may be more players lost at the end of the year due to DFA and minor trades than trades off this list

    The value of the franchises are tied to their ability to make money. The big market teams are not going to lose the value of their franchise without some compensation. The 8 teams making over 100 million are not going to give that many millions out of benevolence.

    So why would a swing change help a player who has shot legs for speed? A swing change would be trying to make yourself into the next Dave Kingman. I don’t think that would be prudent mid season. Lewis has the wrong agent or the Twins are more than happy to take a wait and see attitude with a player that has spent significant time on the DL for 5 years in a row, Now were ne a pitcher….. As far as greedy goes, fans complain the Pohlads are cheep and Lewis is greedy. That is just awesome.

    There was a guy playing for Texas named Joey Gallo if Wallner turned into that guy I don’t think people would mind. Then there was the Joey Gallo who bounced around to different teams. I think teams thought they were getting their guy who played for Texas named Joey.
