They signed him because if he can hit he hits both handed pitching and no platoon split. I would expect a positive response out of Baldelli otherwise there would be no reason to sign him. Even if they cut him, there is not a great risk. The win is that France gets a chance.. once again I would like to thank Twins Daily for crashing once and reloading once in the time I took me to post the above lines

Only if they use him as a PH

Thinking Keaschall will have an impact this year is folly one. The Twins thought so much of Blewett that they have brought back Tonkin 3 times. The third most impactful player is a LH pitcher that is essentially a batting practice pitcher Either the list is in error, he team really couldn’t find much for depth pieces, or the talent level in baseball has gotten so thin that this is the best they could do.

In 10 PA as a pinch hire in Seattle he has had 2 walks and a HPP. I am not sure but that looks to be very very close to the Margot line of PH. Ofer

It is a useless term. Pitchers go every fifth day. They go in order. As a team game the counting stat that matters is wins for the team.

They had to limit the innings of both Mathew’s and Festa as they went over 20% more innings. Had they pitched them deeper into games they would have ran out of innings by the middle of September. Leaving them 2 SP short.
-
On average Ryan, Ober, and Lopez face around 24 batters a game. Pitch counts are around 90 on average. It is not an innings pitched issue, It is not a twice through the order issue. It is a relative health issue.

https://www.activeptandsports.com/baseball-pitch-counts/#:~:text=The study found that higher,game quadruples their injury risk.

Go look at the stats and do the math next time. Lopez and Ober had 18 quality starts, Ryan 13 Yup. SWR usually only went through the batting order twice with a lot of pitches. No one is calling him an ace
-
The last couple of years it has been pitch count. They get 100. If it doesn’t look like they will be able to complete the next inning with under 100 the pitcher gets pulled.

I think there are any winners in this kind of game.

That was a historically bad Cubs team. Somebody had to be named.

If he is pitching in mop up situations and gets a ton of strikeouts he will accumulate WAR. If Coulubr pitches in high leverage situations, gets ground outs but above average in run stopping he will have less WAR. Which was more valuable to the team?

The PT missed one thing that could have contributed to the slightly slower bat speeds. The ability to step, twist, drive and swing has a strength component and a flexibility component. The wear and tear of the season will affect the strength and the flexibility of the player. As they accumulate the data, this actually may be a trend for most players to slow down, or most of the injury prone players to slow down ever so slightly.

It means Miranda, Lee and Julian have more competition for a job. It is means either the front office is either not sure they are up for the job or have no confidence if and when one of them will be injured or perform below expectations. They had so other disaster plan, no France is it, even though he also could be a disaster

Group think. Repeat it enough times and it is accepted as fact.

If he was a long shot they would have done an Milb deal. The possibility of an MLB deal at this point for France was almost now dependent on spring training injuries had the Twins not signed him. Sportrac has him listed as a 1 mil contract. It is not like the Twins would be eating a lot of money if they DFA him later

The idea of a book on the hitter has been around a long time. Technology has made it easier to obtain having a plan on how to get the hitters out seems logical. Having flexibility in the plan seems logical. There always be an outlier situation. I remember a pitcher stating that they threw a pitch that had nothing on it. Thought the pitch was going to get killed. The batter swung and missed. Said the pitcher, well. I guess he wasn’t expecting that

Oft injured is oft injured. Who will have more innings in CF Buxton or Bader? Who will get the most innings at 3B Lewis or Lee? Will Paddack, Topa, or Stewart pitch in as many games as their age” Uniform number? Who will get this year;s suprize ailments?

In relation to his peers at. The same time, Koufax had the best K%, FIP, and Lowest WHIP. Santana cannot make that claim. The dismissiveness of the post season accomplishments is interesting considering that is goal, to win championships.
-
If the voters have moved away from considering post season accomplishments then why would what a vote from 5 years ago influence today’s voters? Puckett had 10 straight years of all star status. Very good to great all 12 years of his career Yes a cut short career but a significantly longer span of greatness . He also had a pretty famous game 6 HR Not a comp

I think the front office move that has hampered Baldelli is the inability to develop lefties who can hit righties. The other front office move would appear to be not developing fielding prowess in the minors. The ability to develop fielding seems to have left when Tom Kelly retired

In the 52 years since Koufax was inducted the BWAA has not voted in a starting pitcher that has had a shortened career. What else would they have to go on to say this person is so exceptional they have to vote him in. Yes Koufax’s first 6 years were not great. Even with that, Koufax retired with a career FIP of of 2.69 versus Santana’s 3.44. You cannot say Santana should be in because Koufax is in. The voters have favored longevity. Santana does not have that

The author should never write anything negative about the Twins defense if what he advocates are bat first players. Wallner was sent down last May because he was not hitting you can look it up.
