    Can't read this. Thinking about our catching situation makes me sick.
  3. h2oface
    Thanks for this analysis. It looks even worse than I had supposed. And you didn't even get to what the liabilities are when he is catching! Garver for Sanchez. Yuk.

    We? Just an example. Check all you want. It will just confirm it. (The link shows all the divisions for 2021. Plenty more right there for starters. Braves, Giants, Padres, Diamondbacks, Cubs, Cardinals, Mets, Red Sox, Angels, Mariners, Nationals, Rays..... about half the predictions not even close...... ) I find the best way to check predictions is to see how they compare to the actual result. I don't even need math, then. Example: 200 negative PED tests, and just one positive, and all credibility and a trip to the HOF is lost,...... I can't keep up with all the arguers "rules". My comment. My rules. I promise I won't tell you how to comment.

    PECOTA is just more clickbait. Let's see how their projections came out from last year to check credibility....... https://www.mlb.com/news/2021-pecota-projections-breakdown AL Central Actual Twins: 91-71 (61% odds to win division) 73-89 Indians: 86-76 (25%) 80-82 White Sox: 83-79 (13%) 93-69 Royals: 71-91 (1%) 74-88 Tigers: 67-95 (0%) 77-85

    Perhaps for you. I thought it suggests that people change their minds...... if given enough time. Sometimes in a day. Sometimes in a week. Sometimes in a month, and sometimes in a year. Berrios had 1 1/2 years to do it, and did it in quick order. His agent most likely did the messaging. I know quite a few married couples that said no at first, too. It is fact that Berrios did sign an extension, instead of testing the free agent market in a year and a half as he said he was going to do, in pretty quick order, so speculate all you want.

    I said what I said. Read it again if you are missing the point. I am not addressing the ease of a job, then or now.
  8. h2oface
    It seemed Colome was worth at least 15 loses, though.
  9. h2oface
    Didn't want a new fake Berrios. Wanted Jose, who, regardless of how his agent negotiated, was willing to sign a fair extension.

    Many could do the job. Getting the job is as much luck as it is skill, many times. The ones commenting..... many are lifelong Twins' fans. They really do care. Even when Falvey and Levine....... visitors here, blow up the team for hope of fame and glory. Yes, they are paid. But $ is the only thing making them love the Twins right now. Total Visitors. They will leave at one point, when they are done playing fantasy baseball with the Twins and they have failed so badly that they can't get another similar job, or even if they will have succeeded for a spell and leave for more money, and not care a bit about our team as they move on.

    Not too unusual, especially if Baldelli is managing for this FO. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2019/1/30/18202907/starting-catchers-disappearing-realmuto-posey-molina-grandal-red-sox-royals-marlins-diamondbacks
  12. h2oface
    What catchers? The only guy that is probably happy is Jeffers. But ST needs like 7 catchers. Are you ready to start seeing Sano and Sanchez start their quest for record strikeouts?
  13. h2oface
    Miranda: 30 homers and 32 doubles is a 55? I don't get it.
  14. h2oface
    Seriously. We got NOTHING for Garver! And now can't, no matter how you try to twist it..
  15. h2oface
    Fun? How about #5? Falvey has no clue, and he admits it. ""I expect to take advantage of it for sure," Falvey said. "Exactly how that plays out, short term, long term, medium term, I don't know. Obviously, it clears a lot off next year as well. ... We're going to have to roll with the punches a little bit and figure out what we can add over the next few weeks leading into Opening Day." 5 years and still trading for pitching........ because none are ready from the farm.........................
  16. h2oface
    "The addition of Sonny Gray is enough to convince even the most skeptical fan that the Twins are looking to compete in 2022." I, for one, do not expect a lot out of a fading Gray. He is a starting pitcher, though. A dreaded "innings eater" at this point. Hope the team hits when he is on the mound. And then there was the trade with the Yankees......... even less convinced.
  17. h2oface
    Everyone wants an excuse, for sure. Except Yadi.
  18. h2oface
    that was a quote...... not my link. it was glunn's. But they did get Gray, who is not a stud in my opinion, just a fading filler that costs too much. But he is something.
  19. h2oface
    It was only worth one stat, and Nick Nelson had recently posted it, and was quick to add. Bad assumption. It still isn't worth it to me for you. We already had Garver. Argue with someone else if that is your thing. I just had rv78's back in defense of your incompletish quote and disparaging crack pipe comment.
  20. h2oface
    Familiar with the reasoning. I don't buy it will make a difference. This change is just dumb and unnecessary.
  21. h2oface
    He said arguably.... "Nick Nelson @NickNelsonMN Top MLB catchers in wOBA since 2019 (min 500 PA): 1. Will Smith 2. Mitch Garver 3. Yasmani Grandal Garver isn't just a "good hitter," he's one of the biggest difference-making bats in the league."
  22. h2oface
    .... because..... who needs pitching, anyway.
  23. h2oface
    And Garver will be hittng 40 dingers for Texas.
  24. h2oface
    "His 96 OPS+ basically was league average, however, and he’s just 30-years-old. He’s not the defensive stalwart Donaldson is at the hot corner, but he’s hardly a butcher either." Just 30. Inference that Ushela is youngish, but many were considering Garver over the hill at just turned 31. Hmmmmm.
  25. h2oface
    Statements like this are just irresponsible. No ........ not even close to everyone. Speak for yourself, please. Not everyone.
