    I like the Paddack line but with any line above that you have Ober in the 4 hole so it accomplished the same thing. I might be at the Ryan+ line myself. Lopez gets game one as the longterm mast head of the rotation but a 1 year rental might need to be his equal. Additional years of control with upside bumps a guy down the scale accordingly for each year of control.

    If you have SWR over Ober in the postseason pecking order this may not be the discussion for you. Almost nothing would indicate the front office is thinking this way. They are closer to Ryan vs Ober if anything.

    Was going to say this. Everyone that has to go 15 deep is in trouble. If the Brewers have to stay 15 deep, they will be in trouble too. Bullpen is obviously working to be the best in baseball by September. Best bullpen in July doesn't mean much.

    I miss Atteberry. 🤢🤮 But it had to be said. He's improved quite a bit. Running out of things to say I guess. This new guy telling stories like he's breaking news to Twins fans. Sir, we are aware Pablo are smrt. Thanks.

    If the long term outcome is a fresh Jeffers for the postseason, he can play more for me. Makes for some rough game threads but many, many innings have to be covered by a sub par sub in a long season.

    It does seem to be a key for him.

    He just makes it look easy. https://www.mlb.com/twins/video/brooks-lee-s-strong-throw?partnerId=web_video-playback-page_video-share

    He's the #1 regular season catcher.

    It's more of a what TD and the Twitterati say vs what the team actually thinks. (Catchy band name, that) The team cares about different things than the talking heads. Namely, one of the best pitching staffs in the league in his time here. The pitcher group went from 20th in WAR to 4th in his first year. He's heavily involved in game planning with the staff. It's not a coincidence. Would they like him to not be 33 or 10m a year? Maybe, but he's an exceptionally valuable player before he even touches a bat. He probably doesn't touch the field in the postseason again and I'm fine with that too. Really enjoying the hot stretch with the bat lately. He'll certainly fall back to reality but if he's just a tough at bat in the 9 hole he's irreplaceable, especially at cost. Camargo isn't it and an equivalent option doesn't exist in the trade market.

    I still think it makes sense that the limited investment has to be related to the trade deadline. It makes a ton of sense to see how all the question marks turn out in the first half and target it. I'm not so sure they feel like they desperately need another starter, they probably do want a bullpen that can be shut down for 5 innings though. Personally, I want a lockdown lefty in the pen. A starter would be nice and likely be very expensive in prospect capital but not untenable. A top 50ish prospect got Scherzer and 35m last year. No telling what other organizations have an owner with a change of plans. Two months of salary isn't the end of the world and would fit with the money we assume they have from the limited TV deal. Stop being ridiculous.

    He's practicing something to overemphasize a feeling that shows different results in real use. My golf instruction has had some similar stuff, I do a drill hitting half driver hooks on the range but in action it becomes a low (for me) fade. I assume he wants to stay on top of the high fastball, lest he hit all pop ups. Derosa on MLB network did a feature about Miranda and his hand positions the other day. It's all about the high fastball, the pitch in vouge to counter the fly ball era. Any trend comes to a logical oversaturation and diminishing returns. High fly balls are outs almost as often as ground balls but only because of more ground to cover. The money has always been in a line drive. Add in the shift restrictions and it evens out a bit. I've never thought the Popkins way was similar to what Donaldson describes, despite TD lore. Correa is doing what good hitters do, work the at bat and hit what you're given. Sometimes it's a pitch to turn on, sometimes you go the other way.

    As an office worker would read Dilbert.
  14. Jocko87
    That's a decent hitter for the 9 hole.
  15. Jocko87
    What do we call it when Marny calls it?

    Only behind cash considerations in career WAR.
  18. Jocko87
    As expected.
  19. Jocko87
    How many letters is that?
  20. Jocko87
    Because Julien likely comes up? Lee would be entrenched at short if Correa misses time.
  21. Jocko87
    Dammit! Look away for two minutes!
  22. Jocko87
    What's the record for most letters in a starting pitcher match up?

    I think the target would have to be a high voltage lefty. The law firm of Thielbar, Okert and Funderburk does not appear to be producing a single high leverage option or even hitting an inside straight to get there. As left handed as Cleveland, Baltimore and the Astros are, one lock down lefty is needed. There are plenty of in house options for a stud right hander.
  25. Jocko87
    The return isn't the reward, the roster spot is. Cash considerations are undefeated. I could see a low upside rookie ball type too. It just doesn't matter what they get.
