Which Player Do You Love to Hate?

Cliff Lee was higher on my list than Pierzynski at that time frame. -

Is Luis Arraez Really Just Ben Revere?
Thrylos replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Really? Luis Arraez has a career (93 games) .334/ .399/ .439 line with an 123 OPS+ Ben Revere never had 93 games with anything close. His career line is .284/.319/.343 with 83 OPS+ And 7 HRs in a total of 857 games. Arraez has 4 in those 93. They both made the majors at 22. Arraez hit that, Revere hit .179/ .233 /.179 Not.even.close. -

Do the Twins Have Enough Rotation Depth?
Thrylos replied to Thiéres Rabelo's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
They have a lot of depth for sure. Like they can put bodies there if someone is hurt or unavailable. Not sure whether their top 2 starters can win games 1,2,5,6 in a post-season against other contenders' starters. Here are the Twins' starters career MLB ERAs against opponents with a winning record: Dobnak 2.77 (sample size = 5) Pineda 4.10 Odorizzi 4.14 Chacin 4.21 Hill 4.31 Smeltzer 4.40 (sample size = 6) Maeda 4.41 Berrios 5.17 Bailey 5.27 Thorpe 8.44 (sample size = 4) Not.A.Pretty.Picture. Berrios melts down against good teams. Your 3 best bets have 4.10 ERA in those circumstances. There are the ERAs against teams with records better than .500 of some of the pitchers they Twins will be facing in the post-season Kershaw 2.41 Cole 2.90 Stripling 3.23 Buehler 3.24 Scherzer 3.33 Strasburg 3.50 Greinke 3.65 Verlander 3.72 Corbin 3.80 Paxton 3.87 Other than injuries or miracles, the Twins' rotation does not look competitive in the post-season. That's why they need to get one or two pitchers in the deadline who can compete with other teams' 1s and 2s...- 24 replies

Buxton is cleared to resume baseball activities. He is hitting in the cages and practicing. Has not played yet. Maybe sometime next week or this week likely starting at the minor league fields

Some hopefully in the teams where the Twins' next number 1 and number 2 pitchers are coming from this deadline.

Not for Lewis Thorpe (ETA 2020) and Jorge Alcala (ETA 2021). They both arrived in the majors in 2019

21st Century Fox was bought by Disney that sold the Fox sports networks to Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Sinclair has been in the red last quarter and they are trying to increase prices to reverse that. YouTube aka google aka alphabet made a profit of $35 billion last year. They can afford it, esp. if they lose customers.

Only 3 Twins' players: 9. Alex Kirilloff OF 31. Royce Lewis, SS/OF 69. Jordan Balazovic, RHP Graterol is not included either.

The Case Against Extending Jose Berrios
Thrylos replied to Patrick Wozniak's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Here are answers for the above: A. 4-seem FB top velo 2016 98.06 2017 98.17 2018 97.96 2019 96.44 Yes the top speed has dropped considerably. B. % usage 2016 FA 50.6 SI 13.3 CH 14.8 CU 21.3 2017 FA 35.7 SI 25.8 CH 8.6 CU 29.9 2018 FA 34.6 SI 23.1 CH 9.1 CU 30.4 2019 FA 32.2 SI 23.4 CH 15.9 CU 28.8 2016 data aside due to sample size, he started throwing his change more. And according to results, that's just an average pitch, while his FB is above average to plus. Another issue is that his curve dropped to below average from above aveage last season. In other words, he has been facing major leagues with average to below average stuff close to half of the time last season. If the Twins can trade him for an ace at the deadline, they should do so. That will make them more competitive in the postseason. Just 2 seasons left of team control and he has shown that he overvalues himself (based on the facts that he refused extensions and went to arbitration over 10% - and lost.) And the most important numbers that make me think that the Twins are better if they trade him are these career splits: Against teams with a losing record: 31-11, 3.46 ERA, 1.175 WHIP Against teams with a winning record: 12-23, 5.17 ERA, 1.374 WHIP He just cannot win against good opponents like the Twins will be facing in the post-season, esp. if he gets match up with their aces. (For reference, here are Odorizi's career numbers: <.500 30-19, 3.55 ERA, 1.189 WHIP >.500 32-35, 4.14 ERA, 1.274 WHIP) An nobody is thinking of Odorizzi as an ace. -

Severino shut down with forearm soreness
Thrylos replied to Patrick Wozniak's topic in Other Baseball
This might open the door for Deivi Garcia who might actually be better than Severino... -
This is the equivalent of SKOR North wanting to remove Zulgad from ownership of his car, because he has too many parking tickets. It ain't North Korea. The Astros are Jim Crane's property.

Calling a Player Injury Prone Is Inaccurate
Thrylos replied to Lucas Seehafer PT's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
That sounds almost like Vince Coleman (without stealing 100+ bases, in 3 seasons and 65+ in 6). How "massive asset" was he? And he was much more of a weapon on base. The best he ever did in the MVP race was 11th, btw. Not.That.Massive.
