  1. Gladden and Gagne were part of 2 WS winning.teams, i think if they were a starter on both teams they got put in. Zoilo was league mvp and part of a WS team.
  2. There is no reason to put Kepler in the HOF other than that he is a German player.
  3. You are complaining someone isn’t using your definition of the word.
  4. Boushley went overseas. There goes their closer
  5. The Phillies stat line suggests they wanted more HR than line drives. I think he was trying to get stronger the quick way to continue to have a job
  6. Look at all the astounding names listed in this thread. Ooops most were traded for. Why did they trade relievers? Probably because in the long term they were getting more back than what they gave up, except with 2 exceptions. Jax wanted out on short notice was one, Stewart was an injury waiting to happen.
  7. That is what teams do, i don’t think there is enough muscle in the FO to do that if Felix Bautista became available.
  8. Yikes. His performance last year did not say PED use.
  9. No front office person has ever made that comment. When they traded for Outman, he was sent to the minor leagues in favor of Wallner, Buxton, Martin and Roden being the outfielders with Larnach also available . Outman did nothing to move up the ladder after Roden was injured.
  10. Lewis was at 1.6 million last year. 2.85 is ore than that
  11. WPA is a flawed stat. It does show clutch performances, but nothing more than that. It is a stat of opportunity
  12. There was something during the season about the Twins wanting him to change his swing but he wouldn't do it. The line was something like if it doesn’t work it would cost him money.
  13. Coulumbe was with the Twins before he was sold to Baltimore. When he signed here again it was a major league contract for 3 million. Cano was the major league ready arm so Baltimore had someone to replace Lopez. As a player who was traded I am not sure why he was brought up. Ib a discussion of free agents. Megill was also brought up. He was a trade to Milwaukee, not a free agent signing
  14. With the same launch angle and exit velocity a 360 foot shot at Target Field can be a foul ball, aHR, a double of the wall, a dramatic out, or an easy out. Timing, not luck.
  15. Yup, you can find relievers. Maybe the front office is not so stupid for trading relievers last year
  16. Some felt that is what wrecked Celestino
  17. If it doesn’t help Culpepper develop too bad for him
  18. Rationality would be saying that he signed someone with a minor league deal that spent most of his season last year ad backup on the worst team in baseball. To expect that he is anything more than a no cost flier for organizational depth is irrational
  19. Just like minor league free agents, DFA means a club did not think you were good enough to protect. A player like Stewart was available due to injuries. He continued on that trajectory. Can someone on their third or more organization be changed into something greater than what they have been?
  20. What a memorable list that was yup, Culpepper is such a great prospect he is a top 20 prospect in all of baseball. He son’y need no stinking time in AAA
  21. Keaschall and Buxton have speed. That will get a batter more hits and an extra base upon occasion. Roden is also a bit speedier than average. The luck is in their legs
  22. Yup, there is always a better piece of scrap on the scrap heap in somebodies eyes. It is still the scrap heap. When you come up with a name, make sure they have regularly played shortstop
