    Good pitching gets you into the playoffs. After that anything can happen. Very few aces every have the same kind of track record in the playoffs.

    Farmer was acquired for a fringe prospect minor league reliever and is now upgraded to worth a major league worthy prospect. Nah.

    If the crack training team has worked to strengthen the shoulder properly there should not be a reason for Winder to not be a starter.
  4. old nurse
    If it is statcast data it should be true.

    The effectiveness for Moran lies not in the walks being further reduced as much as it is will he be able to continue a low babip and continue to be difficult to hit HR off him. 0 hr in. 49 innings will not be sustainable. Will more exposure bring the knowledge to hit what he throws? If it is nope, he is back end material.

    A positionless player is one that has no defensive value at any position they try to play them at. DRS would suggest Sano but I am not going to look to see who else fits that description and Sano is still waiting for a team to sign with

    Baseball has always had pitchers that get better with age. Mechanics are not an age related thing. Learning new things need not be an age related thing. The limiting thing has been wear and tear on the body. How your genetic gifts handle the stress over time is an individual thing.

    Each starter throws every 5th day. Wether Ryan is number 1 or number 5 he will get a chance for 32 starts Go check how many staters made more than 31 starts last year. It does not matter

    Hold your breath to long and there wouldn’t be a tomorrow

    Romero signed a minor league contract with the Angels

    Not for Martin and Lee was the first part of the statement. Sorry i did not make that clearer. I suppose capitals might have worked. Maybe listing the rest of the players would have been better
  12. old nurse
    Not yet for Martin nor Lee but two very similar words com to mind. Busted or Bust

    When there was 600 AB last year by players who should have stayed in Saint Paul it is reasonable to find ways to let them stay there this year until ready Nick Gordon’s future? Was last year an aberration or is he starting to be a good hitter? I suppose the detailed analysis of that may come from someone. It is better to be prepared for regression than not. Does the FO like him as a player? He was a Ryan prospect when they came, of course not
  14. old nurse
    The proper analysis for wether or not the shift ban will help Buxton is not a spray chart of hits but of outs. Do those outs fall witching where the shortstop could be positioned? Answer that and you will know wether or not a shift cost him
  15. old nurse
    Oops the smart people here should pick up on the mistake

    A reliever that lost far more games for his teams last year than Pagan was Trevor Rogers. Sad, but true. I find it interesting that it seems like Pagan gets for the season gone awry. Jax was near the same level of blown saves and loses Season went downhill when Archer and Buddy were no longer effective. It was unfortunate tWinder went down in July and Ober in June.

    The team has gone through about 35 pitchers every year. Players will get their shot at a cup of coffee. For Dobnak the chance will come if the pitches come back. If the hand remains too stiff he is on to his next career.
  18. old nurse
    Maybe this is the year that they are not using starter 8-13 due to ineffectiveness or attitude. No Lynn, Shoemaker,Happ Buddy or Archer types on the roster.
  19. old nurse
    Lot of strains. No wonder there is a new trainer
  20. old nurse
    I think the 10 run rule should be in place, though i thing the 10 run rule should be the losing team has to buy a beverage for every fan still in attendance at the game
  21. old nurse
    Minor league deal, fine.

    Trying to assess a bullpen is a tricky thing. You really can’t look at win/losses/blown saves. The bullpens of bad teams do not get that chance as often. The game is over before they get a chance. Most other numbers will get skewed by a bad outing or two. It makes it hard to fully assess. Does this current bullpen have potential? Yup. Then again, so didn’t Duffey up until last year.
  23. old nurse
    I think Al Hrabowki retired a few years ago
  24. old nurse
    The master plan probably includes getting Pagán to pitch as effectively as possible
  25. old nurse
    The corners is what has to be decided. Kepler, Larnach and Kirilloff for corner outfield/1b. Gallo would be a given.
