    Well, if the byline was Randball Stu you would have understood

    Recent history would say they will not help. Ray had TJ surgery last May. Freeland has a back of rotation ERA, only a miracle will make it better than average. You can have an opinion that it can be improved to helpful but there isn’t anything to back that drastic of improvement. Sale has been injured most of the last 3 years. A 4.3 ERA in 20 starts is not going to be helpful it neither eats innings nor leads to victories. Long ago Sale was great. Injuries have taken their toll

    No because they no longer have a Mookie Betts to trade with him

    70 LHP started last year and these are the three options Sale. A pitcher that has been injured the last three years. Due 27 million dollars. Due for another 20 million if a couple of sportswriters with votes decide he is Cy Young worthy Robbie Ray. Had 2 great seasons, one in a contract year, the others a long time before that one. Due 23 million. May opt out of contract, otherwise 2 more years and 50 million Kyle Freeland. Last 3 years about a 4.75 ERA. Vesting option if Baldelli lists him pitch 170 innings. When healthy he has done that. Analytics are not going to shave an earned run off his ERA 70 LHP,, those are the options. Option of no LHP looks a lot better.

    Is it called the hot stove league because if the team actually did a fan suggested trade somebody would get badly burned?

    With the fine showing in the AFL will Sabayo be the new Duensing for this winter’s TD hot stove league

    Then there was game three with Houston.

    I don’t think given the entirety of his career, age 35, that offers for Maeda as anything more than a back of rotation starter will be there. 21 million is a good number for him, for a 2 year contract.

    You forgot pitcher number 4
  10. old nurse
    Prielip is the exact same pitcher now as he was a year ago. One year older. One ranking or the other then is horribly inaccurate. On the other hand from a high ceiling aspect, the draft did add 4 shiny new highly rateable prospects to like. That is, until you don’t. Salas should have been viewed as a high ceiling lottery ticket. His being ranked that high at the beginning of the year was yet again another rating mistake.

    A decade ago

    Damn autospell, don’t know why it keeps doing that on him. Graver played less than half seasons, with Texas and very little as catcher. When healthy, you bet. The Twins end up using the dl far to often to want to add more players that will go there
  13. old nurse
    There was a time when am opinion piece like this would have contained the percent success rate needed to improve the team’s chance of winning. That seems so long ago
  14. old nurse
    I don’t think there is an ex Twin out there that is a free agent that has anything left to offer. Travis May retired. The Twins were not going to pay that much for a reliever anyways
  15. old nurse
    Sano was last in shape about a decade ago.
  16. old nurse
    They all get fired at some point in time. Some quit because the situation changes, they are going to get fired,, bored with it, or won their World Series and quitting while they are ahead
  17. old nurse
    Epstein did fine after being fired from Boston as did Dombrowski. Being fired from Boston isn’t a career killer
  18. old nurse
    This will be the third time there is an opening in Boston in the last 10 years. Levine is not that old that this is a once in a lifetime chance
  19. old nurse
    21 games of more than 5 inning.s It seemed like Baldelli used a pitch count of 100 not IP
  20. old nurse
    184 innings, 32 games , math,
  21. old nurse
    Traded to New York, traded to Cincinnati, traded to Minnesota. I do not see where any of that was his choice

    Speculation about what people will do that you have no connection to is what a baseball fan site is
  23. old nurse
    Welcome to Lake Wobegon where everybody is above average. That Garrison Keillor line keeps popping up. Depth is only a moment in time. It will not be static What comprises the depth is not stable. Young depth has only three option years Minor league free agents it is luck if they hit their ceiling playing for you.. Your minor league free agent leave when they figure out the probably are not going to make the major league in your system. Major league free agents have the problem of regression. Either they have regressed and someone hopes it is temporary or they are going to regress. The depth that is relief pitching defies logic.

    Seattle is a pitchers park. Hernandez couldn’t hit there.
  25. old nurse
    Nobody has stopped and considered DRS and OAA are counting stats and are based on opportunity. Houston during Correa’s time there had one of the highest GB rates. The Twins have one of the lowest during his time here. That would explain some of the drop off
