Jay Jackson, Staurmont and Blewit combined had over 60 innings of pitching last year that were in aggregate rated as low leverage. Sands started the year as a low leverage pitcher. Blowouts happen. With the offensive juggernaut that a healthy Twins team can be with the aged veterans once again finding past glories and the young players hitting their ceilings, there should be plenty of blowouts this year. If you don’t believe that those hitting conditions exist, well there will still be plenty of blowouts

There is now a rule in college baseball one child call the Rice Rule. Pitchers are limited to 110 pitches. Rest days sew mandated by the number of pitches thrown.
-
Inaccurate compared to any outcome that season that they are made for.
-
Zips projection are inaccurate for individual players. Do the prospects have a higher ceiling than Paddack? Paddack’s best was a FIP of 3.75. I don’t know if for this year you could say with any authority yes or no.

A new owner would be able to spend that money because the depreciate the purchase price of the team over 15 years. That depreciation goes off the high income taxes they would pay from their day job . The owners are not in it to lose money

The outcome was Ishbia bought more of a stake in the White Sox. Interest in another team could have been a punch to make other investors sell their shares now rather than later

Keaschall and Bader are both listed at 6’ tall Wallner is 6’4” Posture makes a difference Keaschall and Wallner are standing at attention, Bader and others are not

Only 23 starting pitchers made 32 or more starts last year. You seem to think that pitching more will solve that In the last 4 years in the major and minor leagues almost 1200 UCL surgeries were done, pitching. 20% never make it back to what they were/ Yet pitching more will solve this. NIH data shows that 15% of the pitchers develop shoulder issues every year. Pitching more will solve that. Whatever. Last year between 450 and 500 pitchers spent time on the dl with over 30000 man days lost. Keep looking for the unicorn that is only warming up at 100 pitches

Funderburk is like every other player with option. Break does not happen until you run out of options
-
Paddack has o be healthy. That has not happened recently. So the team will take what it can get 2 years ago he was their best option for mid rotation starter so he got extended. This is a time where the plan not working was a good thing. Maybe the Rookies from last year and the aaa pitchers will offer enough that Paddack becomes tradeable because the injury bug hit another team. Time will tell

It shouldn’t be a shock that a part owner of another team in a larger market that has rumors of sales dropped out

They spend the money they make off the Suns and still have a profit at the end of the year. They make more money off the Suns than Pohlads make off the Twins.
-
Have pitchers get injured and face criticism. Take things cautiously, get criticism.
-
When the Ishibas took over the Suns they were on the cusp of being a championship team. Now they are struggling to make the playoffs with a team of accumulating broken down players with bad contracts. I is not necessarily a bad thing they are looking to increase their stake in he White Sox

You apparently do not get that part of safety in preventing injuries
-
Four times from when I started the above note this page has reloaded. They stated in an article that traffic was down. They blamed it on the Twins. If this was a site that I was going to casually versus being a day one of their existence person, I would not come back. If the rest of the diamond centric sites do this I would not be surprised to see them struggle
-
Once the Yankees worked with him his FIP became in the low 3 range and continues with the Twins, he can pitch multiple innings. Career numbers are kind of useless. Thiebar gas a career WAR of 4.4 I guess they should have kept him.

Minnesota Twins' Royce Lewis Gets Back to His Roots
old nurse replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Doing the same thing again and expecting a different result -
Considering Paddack with his back, others with their back and oblique issues if the players have figured out they have to do core exercises to try to decrease injuries
-
They go by pitch count for the game. High pitch counts have been shown to be worse for pitchers. The upper limit seems to be 100
-
Well, if the bloggers at TD continually repeat the same thing, doesn’t that make the statement a true one?

Interesting, Zobrist and Damon were auxiliary pieces when their bats were essential to all 4 teams and Zobrist wa series MVP for the Cubs. If they were auxiliary pieces then so was Correa for the Astros. It has been Altuve’s team

Cleveland has only 5 players of the 23 prearb players as being from a trade. 1 each from trading Clevinger, Civale and Naylor. The pitchers were from deadline deals. When the Twins haven’t been in the playoff hunt, what did the Twins have that would have been similar to those 2? Clevinger was coming off from 2 seasons of more than 4 Bwar
