    When you call out something as a junk stat, you shouldn’t be posting what somebody does in 60% of their games and ignore the other 40%

    There is a good reason many opening day players were forgotten. From comments through the years, Margot and Cave are not forgotten. I think some people have PTSD from then

    The hype for prospects is created by the media. The rankings are just an opinion. So if the hype is wrong, it is not on the player

    Thome was 39 when he was with the Twins and had declined the year before. Basically the last left handed power hitter the Twins have had since Target Field opened up was Morneau, He was never the same power hitter after he took the knee. He had 18 in exactly a half season of playing. They really haven’t developed HR hitters.

    The first day of spring is in June so bt then it is a very tral possibility Topa outdoor be DFA in the spring. As the headline states. Like the other relievers on Rosterman’s list of ex Twins in spring training, occasionally effective relievers come and go.

    DeScalfini was the reason for the trade by so many here. You know the fans here are never wrong.

    Also, maybe only one of those who gave up a run will. Be in St Paul

    Peralta and Ryan each have elevated there game in a non linear fashion.. Peralta finished last year at a higher level than Ryan. The Mets are looking at only this year. There is no guarantee for 2027, Money has not been a limiting factor for the Mets

    Yup, people whine and complain, pretty quick every body turns into whiners and complainers. Wow, what fun people to hang around

    With far more teams retrenching payroll than adding it is not reasonable to think there were good offers for Twins players. The player the Athletic reported Boston offered at the deadline was the prospect Garcia. There is no wat to think that anyone was offering much of value for any of the players

    The people here click on stories regardless of title.

    The get rid of Larnach by trade because he is so bad makes the assumption that someone else would want him, and the tea would get something of value. The Outman is so bad comments by the bloggers here are followed by the team can’t just cut him because they would risk losing him for nothing. Sooner or later the team will lose him for nothing anyways. Well, maybe they could get a broken down reliever who breaks yet again.

    Given that the pitching staff has basically question marks after Ryan and SWR, the number of starters needed may well reach 9. Morris would be around number 7 with Festa and Rojas. He needs to stay as a starter

    Levine was let go in October 2024. I wouldn’t say he is inexperienced at his job, but I also wouldn’t say he has been second in command for 2 years . lowe was making 10 million last year. Nobody traded for him at the deadline. Washington released him rather than keep playing him. Despite an OPS plus of 121 Boston non tendered him rather than risk picking up such a great player with a probable raise from 10 million. The likelihood that in the middle of December Lowe signing the same contact as Bell did was probably nil. Everybody misread the market but Bell’s agent. Lowe’s time in Washington was the likely red flag. It is not horrible roster construction to not have signed Lowe

    What you suggest in jest is not tearing it down to the studs it is

    The status of the bullpen and people’s reactions lately brought up a memory of a band and their one hit.

    What would make me nervous is the Lance Lynn effect. Good results from pitching, outperforming some of the geek numbers. Wants a big contract, nobody thus far wants to give him one, Once it is late in the preseason he may not have recovered from the I am worth more than my contract syndrome

    What is the point of grading something you don’t know how it is going to turn out? All subjectivity

    The restaurant can’t buy Wagyu when the customers won’t pay for it. The ample evidence is the crowds that did not come out to see Correa, nor Gray and Lopez. Instead you get to see what the chef makes with what they have You can’t give it a grade until you see what they can make of it. .
  22. old nurse
    When. They bought Correa, they thought they were buying Wagyu, they got ground chuck. When they bought Bader last year he was coming off. 2 seasons of being expired ground beef. He played like wagyu. Sorry that your bias clouds you.
  23. old nurse
    But the capabilities of players are not completely a foregone conclusion. Carlos Correa had contributed 34 BWAR to Houston in 750 games played, 10.4 WAR in his 450 games in Minnesota. The acquisitions of. Ryan and Lopez is the other direction. How can you grade when nothing really is certain. If what they bought performs better than expected, it should be a good grade. If you are grading because they did not invest in the team, you have to show they could get a return on that investment. You can’t show that is a possible outcome for the Twins.

    The Hamburger at Meisters is far better than a hamburger at a fast food restaurant. Same ingredients.
