    Man, I still can't believe that Duensing was such a vital piece of our trade for ________________.

    The poster boys for Analytics is the Tampa Bay Rays. You know, one of the most successful $/win teams of the last two decades. It's far from being the Twins.

    My criticism is that wOBA correctly treats all hits differently, it doesn't do the same for outs. A ball in play IS more valuable then a strikeout, even if the result is the same. You can't move players up or generate a possibility of an error on a strikeout (or rather the odds are much lower) then a ball in play.

    Truly the crown has been vacant since Brian Dozier left the league.

    All his HR's in the minor's last year were from the Left side of the plate, but he had a higher slugging from the right. It's very small sample size though (98 PA's as a LHB, 24 as a RHB). Edited as I completely got this backwards.

    IDK, the Yanks are built for Power, and the ball doesn't travel as well in the cold. Probably the best time of year to play them. Stro's are too, good to see the Twins get that series out of the way early. I think they stand a better chance in April then they do in August against both. But we'll see how healthy the Twins are coming through ST...

    Was the mistake trading Urshela, or choosing Gallo over Bell? Obviously Bell went for higher, but he would have been a much cleaner fit for the roster IMO. Twins don't have any 1B prospects knocking down the door, so they could have offered a similar contract that he got from the Guardians (if the budget allowed it)

    And Joe Ryan's public statements suggest he was fine with being pulled and yet you argue he should have stayed in??? There is a difference with no complaining publicly and supporting the decision. Ryan and Kershaw were both probably pissed, if if they understood.

    There have been 317 No Hitters in MLB History. There have been 23 Perfect Games. Perfect Games happen so rarely that it's worth the risk, no matter the situation.

    I find it humorous that people are pissed off that Rocco for pulling Ryan last night and wanting a better manager (like Roberts) when: Baldelli pulled a rookie pitcher trying to throw a no-no at a pitch count of 106. Roberts pulled a veteran trying to throw a PERFECT GAME at a pitch count of 80!!! I would prefer both had been left in as I think the game is getting away from the history part of the game, but seriously. How does this compute?

    To be fair, they were gifted Swanson. It's not their fault the D-Backs made a terrible trade.
  31. RedBull34
    While I agree this is/was a bad short-term trade, this is the type of trade teams like the Rays make all the time. Trading good players with limited control, for other players with more. Is there any indication the Twins would have extended Rogers? If not, while it sucks for this year, it's the type of trade you make to extend your competitive window (even if it slightly closes it on the current year)

    Arraez's defensive numbers in LF are about the same and his bat is definitely better. I'd be in no hustle to sign Upton.
  33. RedBull34
    Other then that he doesn't play catcher, he's basically a much better hitting Astudillo. Bat plays, but the D is sketchy. If he was taller, I'd really like to see him at 1B a lot more. I don't know how you sit him against RHP, he's too damn good against them.
  34. RedBull34
    I'd imagine this is a pretty cheap deal. He didn't pitch particularly well last year and is 37. Basically a replacement for Robles?
