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.
-
Yet a very accurate assessment.
-
The article specifically mentioned Koufax as a reason to put Santana in the HOF. That there are other pitchers of less stature in the HOF is irrelevant to comparing Santana to Koufax

Helman must be able to play a decent enough CF for the Cardinals to see him as possibly an improvement over what their backups last year were. They hit about like what Vasquez did. As a likely cheap purchase, Helman is a potential filler for what the Cardinals do not have. Not too bad, TD only crashed twice while typing this
-
Koufax had 2 World Series MVPs and a post season ERA under 1.00. Santana is nowhere close to that. As much as fans want to see Santana make it in, using Koufax as a barometer would be the reason not to let him in.

For Eeles to get a shot 3 out of the four would have to happen. Correa or Lewis would have to be injured, Julian be a failure,, Miranda underperform, Lee underperforms. Then there would have to e no trades for another MI and Ford showing why he was available for a minor league contract. Plus he would still have to e the demon with the bat and feet. Dude has a lot stacked against him.

Miami has one or two players that are no longer arb or pre arb eligible. There is really no sense in them taking on more than minimum contracts. Their payroll is at 44 million. They are not going to spend up enough to get to revenue sharing status. Spending 60-70 million to get 60-70 million does not make sense.If they are going to take a contract on, the value of the prospects would have to exceed the value of the contract. They, probably have, like most other teams have, a couple of AAA depth pieces to go with the 8 starters listed on their 40 man roster It would appear this is a develop young player season and hope to get the first pick in the draft sort of year.

You know the hitting coaches are the best in the business. By the end of spring training Borrgeshulte and sierra will have him hitting like Ruben Sierra.

I would have liked Grichuk. When he declined the 6 million option i figured he wa pricing himself out of markets. It is not like hee was going to get a 3/30 at his age. I hope his agent pays him the money he lost out on

The good old days when league average was a robust .260. Maybe some steroids to get it up to 270 again would be in order.

It does cause the iPad to crash and frequently to reboot. It seems like it does moreso whammy you stop and rethink about what you are posting and loses what you were working on

The author really gave many of the reasons why not to sign the player,

From fangraphs ARM (outfield arm runs): Outfielder’s get credit (plus or minus) depending on what the runners do on a hit or a fly ball out. A runner can stay put, advance, or get thrown out. A fielder will get credit not only if he throws out more than his share of runners, but also if he keeps more than his share of runners from advancing extra bases. Wallner for his career is 1.0
-
I did not say to trade him for Festa. Look at what Boston was trying to get and the people suggestions for trades. Festa at this point is a back of the rotation starter. Will he get better? Maybe. Maybe not. It doesn’t hurt Breslow to try for better.

They are trying to set a new record for how many different way they can say the same thing. They still have a few more bloggers to go.
