    Tyler White is making a good impression by hitting against AAA pitchers
  2. old nurse
    There is no fairness in fandom.
  3. old nurse
    There is plenty of time for prospects to elevate, or top 4 to fail.

    Lopez is not a free agent after this year and the subject was the pending free agents. the numbers you suggest are on the low end of what was handed out last year. There would no reason for them to want to sign a contract now at those numbers unless in their short time the families decided they like Minnesota. You betcha that would work
  5. old nurse
    The extension would not be overly team friendly deals. They also should not be overpays. If the team can figure out that number there will be extensions. Around 4/70 for Mahle, 3/60 if Gray is having a good year

    When the catching coach wasn’t any good at throwing out runners how is Jeffers going to learn? Steinbach was a Ryan guy so he is not around anymore. When Turner was under his direction he was a fine defensive catcher
  7. old nurse
    I would think with statcast they could come up with if the stolen base is on the pitcher or catcher. If the runner has a reasonably good jump no infielder could handle the 985 mph throw the catcher would have to make

    Results: There were 6135 professional baseball players who completed the survey (66% response rate). The prevalence of UCL reconstruction in all MLB and MiLB players was 13% (637/4928), while the prevalence in DSL players was 2% (20/1207) (P < .001). The prevalence in all MLB and MiLB players (13%) and pitchers (20%) both increased significantly from 2012 (P < .001). MLB pitchers reported a higher prevalence of UCL reconstruction than did MiLB pitchers (26% vs 19%, respectively; P < .001). In 2018, the prevalence of UCL reconstruction has increased significantly in MiLB pitchers (19% vs 15%, respectively; P < .001) and pitchers aged 21 to 30 years (22% vs 17%, respectively; P < .001) compared with 2012. Additionally, United States–born pitchers were more likely to have undergone UCL reconstruction compared with Latin America–born pitchers (23% vs 13%, respectively; P < .001). Conclusion: The prevalence of UCL reconstruction has increased significantly in professional baseball players over the past 6 years from 10% to 13%. Ultimately, the prevalence of UCL reconstruction has increased most significantly since 2012 in MiLB pitchers, pitchers aged 21 to 30 years, and pitchers born in the United States. This is from NIH from 2018 Take from it what you will

    The Twins used 13 outfielders last year. Many proved to not be worthy of a roster spot. There shouldn’t be a problem adding a depth piece that is far better than Beckham, Cave,, Celestine, or Hamilton. Contreras did not fare well at the major league level, either. The front office has come to realize outs above average is important

    Balazovic is on the 40 man. A lot of the prospects on the 40 man get cut early in case of injury do the service clock doesn’t start ticking
  11. old nurse
    If they resign Wheeler that 38 is back on the books

    Greatest college president ever.

    A few years back I had a coworker on TD. Got in trouble for flame bait His brother got thrown off for sounding like him. Sometimes you have to tone it down
  14. old nurse
    DeGrom debuted at almost age 26. Now or never? I would really think that there was better baseball sense than that from the writers . Is TD becoming clickbait?

    Unicorns Bigfoot Nuclear fusion for power Effective long reliever that pitches multiple innings multiple times a week all do not exist. Short relief is max effort in short burst. With a few outliers you will find they pitch up to 70 to 80 innings but 60 innings year in and year out seems like a better limit Long relief would be someone that needs a starters repertoire or a reliever that can minimize pitches thrown. The latter case would likely be good enough to be in the back end of the bullpen. That leaves someone who could be starting but maybe should only be going through a lineup once. That is usually called your fifth starter.
  16. old nurse
    Mark Guthrie pitched 75 innings in 1992. That is not really much difference than a short reliever pitches. He made 58 appearance so it was not like he was a long reliever very often

    The article above here on Twins Daily you might have read mentioned Left field, right field, and first base as the areas of concern. 2-3 war is considered strong play as defined by fangraphs in their glossary. If you look at the blog again you will notice that 2 of the positions are reported to project 2-3 war. That would suggest by definition of war that there is adequate play out of those positions.
  18. old nurse
    Fangraphs describes a 2 WAR player as a solid player. If there is only one position that has a less than solid player then the Twins are not doing too bad.
  19. old nurse
    The injuries start
  20. old nurse
    If you are going to blow up the top of your minor league for one player there has to be an extension. If you think that anything less than 2 of the top 3 prospects plus a near major league ready starter is going to get the deal done, go do research into trades of similar players. If you think he is going to sign for Robbie Ray money, ask yourself is Burnes and Ray equall. Don’t be comparing contracts unless you are looking at similar pitchers.
  21. old nurse
    There is season after season of data that would suggest Buxton will get hurt regardless of management styles. They might as well play him until he breaks
  22. old nurse
    Likely 2 out of the three if you look at when Sale and Grienke were traded. It would still take another prospect. Just maybe what is missing in the proposals is a star outfielder like Kepler
  23. old nurse
    You forgot the deGrom contract. That is the contract that is closest to a player of Burnes talent. Also look at the contracts signed by top players historically to avoid arbitration and you will find some upper 20 million contracts for the last year.
  24. old nurse
    Gausman, Ray, Rodriguez signed for 5 as free agents, Rodon for 6, deGrom for 5, Walker, Tallion and Wacha for 4.
  25. old nurse
    Scherzer and Verlander set the bar higher for short term pitching. 60 million for 2 years would quickly get turned down
