    The supposition that the Dodgers are controlling the funds of an escrow account are made without the least bit of proof.

    San Diego is still in debt ratio limbo. It would have took valuable prospect capital to get them to take Vasquez as well as a lot more capital to match a salary for the player coming back.

    All very nice except for one small detail. MLB handles the escrow accounts. The CBA would state where any of the profits off an escrow account goes. Teams are also required to escrow the year’s payroll .

    Those 6 runs were by home runs. Your complaint was Arraez not scoring when on base Castro is no better than Arraez at scoring when on base

    The average for a batter who did not hit a HR but got on base was 32%. The average for Arraez 37%. He was above average in that regards. You could point to the stat that the percent chance of scoring from 1b with no outs is 38%. That would make Arraez as the leadoff hitter below average. The flaw is that out of his 4-5 AB, he leads off an inning for sure only once a game. Their 9th alters were the catchers who had sub .300 OBP. The likelihood would e high that there was at least one out when Arraez came to bat. The likelihood of scoring goes down to below 20%. As I said earlier Castro last year had similar OBP to Arraez and similar numbers to Arraez in runs scored. If Arraez is a player not worth having for his batting and below average defense then why would they e keeping Castro to answer the question why does it seam like Arraez is LOB more often than others would be because he is on base more

    Should the Twins e getting rid of Castro? Similar numbers to Arraez last year.

    When you tout the difference in runs scored you have to be pretty blind not to consider runs scored. Castro and Arraez had the about the same OPB and AB as Castro. Compare and contrast those two and see that there is not that much of a difference in runs scored

    As a leadoff hitter he had the weakest hitters in front of him in the later innings Did he have the same opportunities as someone in the 3-4 spot did?

    When a team trades prospects it is generally the ones that the trading team thinks wont make a difference if they make the major leagues. Look at how little the White Sox got out of the trades of Eaton, Sale and Quintana. 2 great years out of Giolito, and 2 great and one K out of Cease with the return of 2 maye prospects. Miami traded for a lot of players with their stars through the years. Alcantara is about all they have to show for it

    Arraez was top of the order so he would have less opportunity to drive in runs whereas Buxton was in the heart of the order. If Arraez did not score as many runs that in part was on the players behind him. Keep in ind that 18 of those runs Buxton scored was by him driving in himself versus 4 for Arraez

    Considering is home away splits one could see why he was a 3-4 war player and only a 1.1 while in San Diego.
  13. old nurse
    You missed that they added Ahmed Rosario as a veteran having 1.5 war before and after the trade. Also as a winter deal, they traded for a first base a man who later played for the Twins. They gave up Yandy Diaz as a prospect

    Adding a pitcher capable of being a top of the rotation pitcher makes sense if you think the troubled seasons of your core position players are behind them and Miranda,, Lee, Wallner, and Larnach are going to develop further. That is a lot to expect. On the other hand it is far easier to win a game when the SP gives up 2 runs rather than 3 or 4. If the club is indeed going to be sold this spring adding players that are a proven quality is not going to harm the sale in the least bit
  15. old nurse
    Giménez had already been in the majors when acquired. I think he beat the 1.5 war season by a little bit as did Classe, another off season acquisition with MLB experience. Yes they were long term assets, but they were already in the majors

    I am sorry, the person I responded to was talking about MLB. I didn’t feel the need to have to write minute detail for people. My bad
  17. old nurse
    651 players got a PA last year, only 129 qualified for the batting title. 20%. It was worse than you thought player across baseball spent over 44000 days on the dl.

    Yet another tired payroll complaint. I would hazard a guess that there are accounting things other than depreciation the clubs can use. Depreciation over a 15 year period of a billion or two sale does save a lot of tax money elsewhere. Calvin Griffith was probably the last owner to be living off income from baseball.

    The Twins window is this year and next 2027 is a labor contract year. I wouldn’t bet on smooth sailing for that one.
  20. old nurse
    Yup, bat speeds slow down with age. The findings presented say on average. What makes Buxton average? His bat speed already says he is not an average player so why should he e following a standard aging curve

    Thanks for pointing out that I should have stuck with AAA purgatory where Williams and Sevarino reside. After this year probably Holland and Morales will reside there
  22. old nurse
    It would be a 1 year rental for Cease at 13 million. So Paddack and Vasquez for Cease does not give the Padres any financial relief. Now add Arraez and give them one of the would be 2b along with the other two and a prospect and a couple of a to low a players it would make for a deal
  23. old nurse
    The advice for the players? Gotta feel cool now, got to take care
  24. old nurse
    I should have stayed with AAA purgatory but i went with the term used by many posters here for clarity. I promise to be more ambiguous next time
  25. old nurse
    Sometimes it appears they have a surplus of AAAA players they do not get a shot or much of a shot in the majors
