    Backing out on signing any player to a contract lasting well past their age 35 season is the common sense thing to do

    There were articles on how he could not hit the high inside pitches. There were articles on how he fixed his swing over the winter and the spring training results were proof of that. Needful to say that the early season performance of Wallner indicated there was still a problem. Being successful in the minor leagues is not indicative of the fixed the problem. It could just as likely mean the less than stellar pitching at AAA can’t hit the spots as well and Wallner will be good enough to hit mistakes and average to mediocre pitching

    Nowhere has anyone pointed out that he fixed the hole in his swing.

    Could help. Might help. Hedging so as to not be wrong. Why not just include the roster f the Saints,. Any could help. Maybe just bring Jenkins up. He could help

    The problem is too many people are placing an emphasis on winning. They wouldn’t have to worry the least bit about stats and injuries if they din’t care about winning. Medical bills are also outrageously expensive, but why should the average fan care about a player’s health?

    Being the Pirates are in the position of fighting for a spot in the playoffs it would seem ludicrous to think that they would be trading future assets or useful expiring contracts unless it was an overpay

    The current GM has traded expiring contracts at the deadline. The only trade of a player with years of team control was Marsh fr what looks to be a very good catcher. What expiring contracts they traded seem to be useful but not helpful players except for Iglaseas.

    A list of reasons why there would not be a trade with Miami unless it was for lottery tickets

    There is still hope for thr Angels, they will not be sellers

    The percent chance of a Twin making the All Star team by voting is slim. The only hope would be the fans of the other AL East teams wanting to spite Rutchman. From there it would depend on what they think the All Star team needs and whatever they have to pick from the dreg teams. I am not sure what the other teams have that would have to be placed on an All Star team. What do the White Sox have Crocket or Sheets? Oakland Rooker or the reliever? The Angels Anderson or Trout. The Royals Perez on reputation? Those decisions would impact wh they would select from the Twins.

    Your definitions to meet your agenda

    I think beyond the headline the author did not need to write anther word.

    You can sell a left hand bat and buy a RH bat. You can sell an expiring contract and buy one .it all depends on the prospects offered, and if anyone likes the prospects you don’t

    They got a good half season out of Romo for a 1b who couldn’t hit major league pitching they got an injured Dyson for 3 lottery tickets that have done almost nothing at the major league level they got Fulmer for a pitcher that is undergoing TJ. He did have a good September call up pitching against 4 teams that were amongst the worst in baseball. Projected a ceiling f back of rotation starter They got Oekert for a utility player that can’t hit Pagan was good enough to get a 24 million dollar contract that leaves 1 bad trade

    Pretty much every team was close to 40% last year. 20 f the teams were over

    What has Miami done in the past? Except for when Ng made trades the team takes as many prospects as they can . That would about 4. Most would be off the AA roster, none would be in the top 10 of a prospect list. Think something like Rosario, Shoebel, Mathew’s and a low level prospect.
  17. old nurse
    So if Jhoan Duran was on another team and was made available in the middle of his first big league season you wouldn’t have traded for him .
  18. old nurse
    Farmer has an CBA of .200. It is not like that is much of a difference than .163

    Oakland has been notoriously cheap. Trading 1st year players does not save money unless you expect them to break. The return. People here do not remember that Oakland makes head scratching deals. It would not cost someone with service time. More likely it would cost a couple arms and a couple legs. 2 pitchers and 2 hitters. Most likely a player from each level below AAA. That is why you should deal with Oakland the player does not have a long history of mediocrity at the major league level as Lopez did. That is a bad comp. The question should be is he a pitcher that other teams will figure out once there is enough data? Dunno.. will his arm blow out? Only if he is a Twin

    2019 was Kepler’s outlier year. His batting suffered for years trying to recreate it. He is now doing what a lot of people thought he should be doing batting wise. Once again Morrison was right, you want the world and you want it now

    Since your post Rosario has an OPS of .475.
  22. old nurse
    Perhaps consider that the people who don’t care about that kind of stuff are the ones that cause other people to appreciate the great personalities
  23. old nurse
    I would hazard a guess that the management still does not have confidence in Sands’ ability.. That is the only explanation I can think of why they are sticking with Johnson and Oekert
  24. old nurse
    Did I say they were worn out and shot? Please tell me where I said that. What is BS is making up a position that another person took. Please do not respond if to anything I say if that is the **** you are going to pull

    Load management is the OP claim why these players are not playing every day, not mine. Your claim is that the successful teams don’t do load management. The lack of continued post season success by the three teams who, according to you, do not do load management was not refuted by you. Now if getting a division championship is your goal, you position would seem valid. Successful teams win division championships
