    Without Seager and Garcia Texas might not have been in the WS. It is more than just pitching. Sonny Gray had a bad game against Houston. It takes more than 2 pitcher. When the Mets had the 4 aces, the did not win. It will always be a team game in the bigger picture. If Paddack, Ober and Ryan are not capable of being pitchers that rise up for the playoffs, the 5th pitcher does not matter.

    Manoah had a bad year. The year before he was an all star and placed third in Cy Young. A team is not trading for last year’s pitcher but think he can return to the previous form. 4 more years of team control. They are not going to trade him unless it is a top 10 prospect and one almost that good, plus’s a couple of high ceiling lottery tickets. Pitching is not going to come cheaply unless it is cheap pitchers. Mow if he is having a mediocre season in 24 he might be obtainable for a Gonzales and a high upside prospect but Toronto will not have fixed the problem

    They did as they said they would in trading need for need. They need a starter and a reliever, they got them. Along the way they picked up prospects because they picked up a back of the rotation starter for a good position player. Both sides are correct . Should have they picked up a better starter? They either have confidence in Ober, Ryan and Paddack it doesn’t matter, or they have so little confidence it does not matter. A rated low minor prospect has a better chance for success than an equally rated high minor prospect . Neither player may end up a star, but the likelihood of them being of value is good.

    Essentially it all depends on where the final prospect ranking ends up. They are both young player being ranked while playing in the low minors. If their rankings don’t go up the most likely outcome is bust.

    From SB Nation fansite for Seattle Darren Bowen, RHP Age: 23 / B/T: R/R / Drafted: 2022 / Final level in 2023: A / MLB ETA: 2026 After being drafted in the 13th round out of UNC-Pembroke, Darren Bowen started his career a bit later than his fellow draftees after rehabbing an injury from college. Upon his debut, he took the league by storm and posted some eye-catching numbers out of the gate. With a mid 90’s fastball that gets ridiculous ride and a dynamite slider that makes batters look foolish, Bowen has some nasty stuff that tracks to play at the next level. He worked as a starter for Modesto, though much of the year was spent building up his innings and no start eclipsed six innings. He does walk a fair amount of batters, but it’s not an overwhelming problem that prohibits him from starting. Seattle seems to view him as a starter and he will be given the opportunity to do so, but an eventual move to the bullpen is not out of the question. Should this change be necessary, the stuff will absolutely play and he’d immediately be a potential leverage reliever. He’s an arm to watch for this upcoming season; he’s already attracting a lot of attention outside the system among pitching wonks for his pitch data. The one thing holding us back from ranking him more highly is needing to see if he can harness that command better in longer stretches. 22

    Enough salt to cover I90 to Seattle

    If they start the season with a four man rotation there is a spot for a couple of weeks. From there things have a way of disintegrating

    Players who have had success will get a chance until it is proven without a doubt they are cooked. You also have to look at what type of teams are signing these players. Washington was a very bad team. Gallo is not going to change that. He will be a cheap fill in until prospects develop. He did play wherever he was asked to play. He is probably a good attitude guy to have on a developing team. Sano may have been signed to fill a hole in the AAA team. He might kill AAA pitching and draw fans

    When the Twins brass said about trading need for need that would pretty much indicate the off season plan and these free agent would not affect each other. There are different levels of performance as well as position

    Hopefully your quote can be signed by Larnach

    Twins success rate for correcting plate discipline is? Maybe he can take lessons from Julian

    I thought Castro was the do it all backup. The year before it was Gordon (Cave, Rob R, Celestino, ……) for 2024 the teams needs a new flavor. I am afraid that anybody new and cheap will have the flavor of bitter lemon

    You do not need to take every comment as serious. Don’t talk down to people.

    Does a first baseman get to count the 1200 putouts to go with plate appearances Did the pitcher who finished with more batters faced have a higher ERA? Just a glance, the higher inning pitchers seemed to have a lower WHIP
  15. old nurse
    Gordon and Miranda injured,, Sanchez land Cave et go, Arraez and Urshela traded. Celestino did not make it back. Comparing the two years is kind of pointless when almost half of the AB from 22 were not a factor for 23

    The fist line he sings is the problem

    Boras clients. He wants them paid for what they could be. Any team wanting to sign them would have the same thought. The thought pattern for what they could be is just different.
  18. old nurse
    Lopez, Gray, and Odorizi were all traded later than today’s date. The roster is nowhere near set. Bowman is likely a pitche the Twins think they can tinker a little with and get a little more speed and an improved off speed pitch and make an all star out of

    Like Amazon Video, amazon baseball would be an addition charge, but it could make for more prime members, more shopping since you paid for it
  20. old nurse
    Amazon has 173 million prime members People would likely have to sign up for Amazon Prime first. They start shopping, Amazon makes money

    You quit commenting. Finished the popcorn. The bucket became useful the more you read?

    ● WPA is not highly predictive. Generally, it is not used for player analysis and projecting the future

    $20 a month for a 7 month season is $140 500k subscribers would be a gross of 70 million. How much ones it cost to produce a game? 55 people at 100K is 5.5 million
  24. old nurse
    They are Boras salients. The only way they would be signed at this point is if there was a gross overpayy. They may be the top free agents of this class but not as sure of thing as other years. It is going to be into spring training for them. It does not hurt baseball, it may not help the players

    Hudson is 30 minutes away with no traffic. Never, traffic at events. It only takes seconds to get in an out of downtown parking., in. An out of events
