    Same guy, no?
  2. PseudoSABR
    Who? That deal won't get you any better than say Pineda, who is our 4th starter.
  3. PseudoSABR
    Just a bit creepy!
  4. PseudoSABR
    I don't see it as double counting so much as giving them credit for both results (the farm system) and the process (scouting).
  5. PseudoSABR
    Did they front load the contract? If not, pfft.
  6. PseudoSABR
    I like the structure of both these deals. Not exactly front loaded, but they don't balloon at the end either. The Twins did end up paying each about 3 million more this year than would have otherwise.
  7. PseudoSABR
    The first three seasons are up on Prime now. I don't know when the fourth season is due out.
  8. PseudoSABR
    Looks like they "front-loaded" Kepler's deal a bit, by giving him twice as much this year.

    I think Polanco's cost certainty will add to his value as a trade asset should the Twins decide to go in another direction in the near future.
  11. PseudoSABR
    Universal DH? No. (Baseball has an incredible distinction in that the disparate leagues play by different rules). 20-second clock? Yes. (Sorry neurotic weirdos that needs to lick the bottom of their cleat before throwing to home). Roster size? Why the heck not? (More is better. This would mean ASTUDILLO). Anti-tanking? Um, how? (Baseball is one of the few sports that the fanbase can sustain engagement by interest in what's coming next. I know, as I've huffed fumes on Sano/Buxton for the better part of decade).
  12. PseudoSABR
    Just a tease.
  13. PseudoSABR
    I thought we'd see more movement on Clemens/Bonds. I don't think they're getting in.
  14. PseudoSABR
    Didn't the Twins sign Parker to a similar deal, where if they cut bait sooner they take less of a haircut?
  15. PseudoSABR
    You really covet Duffey and Granite do you? If he stinks, I doubt he makes the 25 man roster.
  16. PseudoSABR
    Has the structure of the deal been announced? I imagine the Twins can get out it, ala Annibal Sanchez's contract last year, if things aren't working, but the longer they keep him the more they are on the hook for.
  17. PseudoSABR
    Me too. Again, Parker does not preclude them from signing such a pitcher. No need to rag on this signing, when your issue is actually elsewhere.
  18. PseudoSABR
    We'll be paying him half of what he stood to make in arbitration. As has been demonstrated elsewhere on this board, spending big on RPers has not worked out for the team spending. We tend to disvalue quantity over quality, and often rightly so, but RPer FA market might be one place where it's better to sign a few guys, than go all in on one guy.
  19. PseudoSABR
    You should care about value, too. Parker is a better player than you're willing to acknowledge; the bullpen is better with him. Given his low cost, he should not come at the exclusion of that "great player" you seek.
  20. PseudoSABR
    Much more favorable team deal than first reported. If he doesn't work out at some point, we can cut him at lower cost.
  21. PseudoSABR
    Seeing Griffey Jr. in a Whitesox uniform made me shudder. Glad he only hit three of 630 homers for them.
  22. PseudoSABR
    You need to watch it on a device (pc, tablet, phone) in order to interact, my amazon fire wasn't enough. So I haven't "experienced" the show, though if it was easier, I would have.
  23. PseudoSABR
    No. Identifying which prospects to discard as quickly as possible cannot be the organizational goal. Should we discard Buxton and Sano already and move on to the next guys? The organization needs to trust its ability to identify talent and develop that talent, and that development should be individually tailored to each player's needs and assets.
  24. PseudoSABR
    I don't find the hypothetical all that problematic--I think Nick was off-the-cuffing it, and you shouldn't hold him to one poor hypothetical. But the point of his hypothetical is that Cron has more value to the Twins than he does to nearly every other club to the point where he wouldn't trade him for another organization's Gordon. I.e. Cron's current value to the Twins eclipses Gordon's trade value. But I'll let it be as well.
  25. PseudoSABR
    I meant the obtuse comment playfully (hence, my friend). I've read Nick's post, and it isn't inconsistent with what I've been saying. And yet, you can't seem to accept him at his word that the metric is something more than just trade value or just current value to the Twins. If I'm characterizing the metric incorrectly, Nick would have corrected me rather than liking my posts.
