    There are 2 40 man spots open. One would hope that there would be a better use than this list.

    Why a would a player not sign with a big market team is because living in a big market is not their idea of living. There have been numerous players whose performance went down in New York.

    Patience at the plate I think would be difficult when one has had success with swing. If the swing is not an ideal swing it will probably take a lack of success to get him to change.

    Renaldo Ghirardelli, signed off the San Marino National team. The report is that he has a sweet swing

    Prospect lists are like long range weather forecasts

    It is also laughable to call Sonny Gray expensive at 13 million for his production

    Severino could be a cheaper Gallo in terms of hitting. People here just raved about his hitting this year. Severino thought would not be Gallo’s glove. No Severino will not be a cheaper Gallo

    Debut versus regular player. There is a difference. To have 11 players over 3 years is not an unreasonable hope. They might not all make it for some reason, like an inability to hit a major league off speed pitch.. There may be some who lose time to injury.

    There always are going to be 1 year filler players. At least this year there were no washed up over the hill infielder playing in the outfield. As far as fans with expectations, the club may acknowledge them but also remember all the fan rhetoric over Mauer’s last years, Buxton’s injuries,. The fans are fickle.

    Wish that were true that every first round draft choice was good enough to play in the majors. . https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?draft_round=1&year_ID=2014&draft_type=junreg&query_type=year_round That is the firstt round from 10 years ago. Only /4 of them have accumulated 5 bwar 65% did not make it to even 1 bwar accumulated.

    Kepler, 1 year rental. I suppose that has some value except it requires a team thinking they can contend and needs an outfielder. A couple players only cost money and not a prospect. Trade possibilities go down 2 numbers not mentioned on Polanco 105 and 80. The team would also need a backup plan for half the season. They are tradable, but it would require a decent prospect to get a slightly better than decent prospect.

    A bean counter doesn’t understand sales pitches?

    I remember the threads about that they have to sign Buxton.
  14. old nurse
    He only has to back up one other outfielder?

    It would seem like most teams would have an analytics department. You point him out to be a number 3 starter while saying he will get top of the second tier of pitching money. So s it other teams will forego the analytics and hope that he can repeat, or would the guessing numbers be wrong. My un analytic take, otherwise known as gut feeling, is there is a great chance he will take the qualifying offer then retire. He was horrible in New York. He has mentioned about working where he wants to be. A situation like New York is not what he wants to repeat. Signing a large contract somewhere raises expectations and I don’t think Gray does well in that situation The part of sports where brain and personality affects performance unfortunately does not have metrics.

    Josh Bell returned them a 20 year old prospect that was once highly ranked.. The signing was not all that bad.

    50K is all a team pays when they return a player. I lost track of all of the players the Twins picked up where it was a fixer upper \Sabato is a fixer upper. Decrease the strikeout rate should mean an increase in contact which in turn would lead to an increase in OPS.
  18. old nurse
    50 K bet to see if you can fix a problem with strikeouts well enough by the end of spring training to keep him. Reward is what? 30-40 HR potential. One team will take that bet for 50 k.

    Castro is not a great CF They will need a backup plan One of Farmer, Miranda or Castro will not be back they are probably done with Moran after all the failures. Sands also Varland has options, they will use him as SP 6 in Saint Paul so they will need another starter.

    So channel 45 would spend the money operating the television station, pre emptying their paid for programming to broadcast twins games for no revenue, I do not see a universe where that happens. 2 minutes between innings makes for just over 5100 in game commercials. The going rate for advertising for a show that draws 200000 viewers isn’t that great

    17 games 90+ innings, 17 week season. Math would not say Canterino was overworked in college

    The assumption is they are not planning on much because Bally is uncertain of going on, anything they start up is going to have expense. There are no other RSNs in this area

    Numbers divided by 30 shrink quickly. You also didn’t include league offices takes a cut of that.

    It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out how much the payroll could go down. Statistica placed the 2022 revenue at 267 million. Payroll was 135 million about 50% of revenue Forbes has placed revenue per fan at $50 per fan. Easy for them to compute when sales tax records are public. The attendance was up by almost 200,00 plus 4 playoff games. That should push revenue up $10 million. But there is revenue sharing on the gate. Drops it in half. The contract was for 50 million. Half goes into the mlb pool of which the Twins get 1/30 back no contract means a loss of 26 million. Net change 21 million down,, Payroll goes down 11 million because the Pohlads rounded up. No Joey Gallo replacement

    Even though it does not work maybe if your headline was in 24 point type and the byline said The Joker
