    Maybe the owners are not planning for much of a 27.

    Joe Ryan hasn’t had 3 seasons in a row of 200+ strikeouts and a sub 4 ERA Peralta is the better pitcher. Not even close. Perrault netted two prospects that have slid in ratings. Milwaukee got 2 prospects for Burness the year before. One ended up a middle reliever, one is a starting shortstop who couldn’t hit. The fan expectation of a haul for Ryan just wont be there. Falvey can’t trade for 2 unsuccessful prospects

    Kopech had such an injury filled year last year he is not going to get a multiyear contract. Dominguez may not be as favorably as the pundits think. In trades all he has ever brought back were scratch off tickets I would think his current asking price is way above what teams are offering

    The top of the roster has pretty much always been worked on late in winter and spring training. They weren’t going to make the blockbuster trade with Lopez or Ryan because there likely wasn’t a good enough return. I would speculate they would have wanted a Crochet kind of return, What they have to trade other than those two would not be anybody’s first choice. So there isn’t going to be much movement

    So the author has a projected lineup that is a possibility at this moment in tie and readers here are treating it as reality.

    They have not added Caratini o the 40 man roster yet. So, when he passes his physical, is it one of the backup catchers cut, Kreider or Outman. An infielder that doesn’t play shortstop?

    Yet every team does these sorts of things.
  8. old nurse
    As if it takes hours to make these decisions

    They have a whole scouting staff for the Caribbean area. They have a whole analytic department over analyzing things. From the staff directory there are 40 people analyzing everything.

    So much angst over the bottom of the 40 man roster

    If they expanded in 28, by the old rules the expansion teams could not draft minor league players who were signed in ‘25, ‘26, or 27 if they were older 19 when signed, if they were under 19 when signed, the no draft rule applies to those signed in 24.

    You are arguing about an infrequent occurrence. On average the second basemen turn a double play 51 times a year last year. Speed of the throw can matter, but how often it matters gives the meaning whether or not it is significant. You haven’t shown that it is a frequent enough occurrence to matter.
  13. old nurse
    Then there is what you ignore, an efficient pivot to throw is more important than the speed of the throw. The number of times a game it happens the second baseman has to make that throw. The number of times a game a batter with above average footspeed comes up to bat with a runner on and less than 2 outs and hits a ball to the SS or 3b.

    Consensus here is often the same thing repeated over and over with no one checking for facts

    Obviously they talked to him before the retirement announcement and obviously not.
  16. old nurse
    The dearth of catching jackson or Pereda become disaster pans. San Diego used to collect and trade catchers. I don’t know if it really netted them anything.
  17. old nurse
    You have 23 days. Moneywise it would seem that if they signed Bell somebody is interested in Larnach. They just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
  18. old nurse
    He is also joining the Twins development staff

    Red Sox, Cubs and Mets are over 200 million a year behind the Yankees and Dodgers. The vote threshold might not be impossible to reach. It may hurt the Yankees and Dodgers more than them

    Look at his pitch map. There are a lot of pitches in the heart of the plate. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/zebby-matthews-805673?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb At the bottom of the page you can see where the others go.
  21. old nurse
    A career 5.68 RA/9 for a reliever is not a good thing. Continues great numbers in AAA with continued bad numbers in mlb should mean you have no use for him
  22. old nurse
    If the hitter were more polished for their level, they wouldn’t be at that level.
  23. old nurse
    The Twins were put on notice that after many a questionable draft they might be figuring this drafting thing out
  24. old nurse
    Interesting you could remember a number
  25. old nurse
    You just need to buy a red hat with some printing on it.
