    Using Baseball Reference statistics, being 0.3 years older than the average age of the players you are playing against is a problem? 2 years of low level JC baseball, one year of which he pitched only 9 innings. One mediocre year at D1 level. With that development level of his pitching, it was a reach to start him at Elizabethton and not the complex league. They probably should have called him up when they sent Moran down but the FO seems to like Ortega and Moran. When Ortega’s injury became enough, they got a 40 man spot for him

    Maeda had 12 great starts in a 1/3 season. That was his outlier year. The Dodgers had him as a swing starter/reliever. He is what he is. A back of rotation starter that can occasionally pitch a great game.

    Unless Carmago can hit at the major league level at a level to overcome his catching this is yet another losing trade by the Twins

    How many bloggers they have will be the number of articles.

    They are trying to make a fine grind of the horse that was the trade deadline

    Barlow is having a poor season that has continued to be poor in San Diego Robertson netted to teenagers who rank 12 and 20 in the Mets prospect rankings while they are in rookie level Sewald netted 2 near MLB ready prospects and a throw in. They were in the 10-15 range in rankings Hicks netted 2 prospects that were like 9 and 12., both were pitchers. The better offer for Robertson would have been like Soto and DeAndrade For Sewald it is probably Wallner, another prospect and Farmer or Castro 2 pitchers for Hicks the Twins probably do not have that to give up

    0 fer. That is what the Twins did. Lopez didn’t bounce back, Alcala still injured, Moran didn’t develop, Winder didn’t develop. The backup plans DeLeon and Stewart injured. The back up backup plan of Headrick and Ortega was meh. Balazovic may yet develop, they never gave him leverage situations. His pitching was purely for development. It wasn’t a failure yet it wasn’t a success either. 0 fer 9 on nine pitchers. That would be an immaculate inning of failure

    How is trading for relief pitchers that have higher than average ERAs and blown saves galore improving the bullpen? They got Fulmer, who was having a good year last year, for not much. There was no Fulmer like pitcher traded this year.. So the choice was top reliever for top prospects, or a reliever not having a good year., or do nothing. The last choice was the option you railed against. So the second question is do you move top prospects for rentals?

    Fair enough assessment of the bullpen. Considering what was traded, do you dive up Rays and another top prospect for Sewell. Hicks went for decent prospects, Graveman went for decent prospects. It is all fine and Danny to want bullpen arms but the rest that were traded don’t seem to be all that different from what the Twins have.

    If anything should be learned from the Twins all these years is that good command and control will beat weaker teams. The better teams can find a way. The Twins have a history of command pitchers getting them to the playoffs
  11. old nurse
    Solid work at the A+ level will still get players released as it requires more than that for a reliever

    WillieCastro irreplaceable? Lewis, Lee, Larnach, Wallner, Julian,Prato and Miranda. If they retain Polanco and/or Kepler I think Castro is replaced. That doesn’t include the possibility of Gordon

    By touting where Taylor stands in cf rankings of ISO, in the context of the game of baseball this article shows the meaninglessness of the ISO stat on it’s own. Are the Twins better off with the “power” hitting Taylor rather than the player he was in KC,? Undoubtedly. Will the Twins be better off with a different CF? By WAR he is the 25th best CF with 300 PA.

    It is clickbait

    Outliers prove the issue is not as simple as just offer them the most money. I guess is just human nature to just think it is about the money
  16. old nurse
    If Kirilloff is 5 because of health, Lewis then must have been number 11.He missed all of 2021, most of 22 and 23.

    Gunnar fromBaltimore and the guy in Texas will be 1-2 in some order, with the guy from Japan in Boston 3 Julian if he does not falter would be 4 unless he goes on some amazing run. 6 weeks, anything can happen.
  18. old nurse
    A lot can still happen in 6 weeks. Gray will get top 5 votes but a lot of bad would have to happen for other to fall in the voting

    What Tampa Bay did with Deleon Young should be prosecuted. Not just because the got Garza and Bartlett. They turned Garza into Archer and useful players. They turned Archer into Meadows, Glasgow and Baez. They turned Meadows into Isaac Parades. 4 winning trades from Delmon Young.

    Solano has not hit the injured lest. Either the blogger is thinking of someone else , as 5 position players on the IL, or is being sloppy with the facts.
  21. old nurse
    Input is far different than making the call

    The only way Rocco goes is if the front office goes.
  23. old nurse
    Not true on offer the most money. Dervish is the local example that comes to mind, Wheeler wanted to stay on the west coast. A player or two have expressed a desire to be in Texas
  24. old nurse
    There are people who will head lots of Mead if that is the rotation. Might have to be home fermented

    As lopsided as the trades turned out last year for controllable assets, there are pages wondering why there was very little trades this year. The rental trade was not lopsided. It did not provide much of a difference, either. Analytics must have gotten in the way of a trade for the sake of a trade or a trade that fizzles.
