    I'll ask once again, who's saying the Twins are a bad team cause of their payroll?
  2. DPJ
    K-rates down, velocity is down...NO THANKS!!!
  3. DPJ
    I can't find Carlos Silva's GB/FB rate in the minors, but I'm willing to bet my child that it was over 2 maybe even 2.5 groundballs for every flyballs. Which is doable when you don't get swings and misses. But when you're not inducuing groundballs and you're not missing bats (at AA no less) You have no chance to succeed.

    How in the hell does Edwin Jackson go on a 1/11 deal with the Nats to now an estimated 3/30 in a pitching market that was just as weak as last season?
  5. DPJ
    How in the hell is saying the Twins suck based off the payroll?

    Just looking at his k-rate is foolish, but it is a telling stat. When the ball is constantly being put in play against you odds are the ball is gonna find holes or go over the fence. His groundball rate is ok, but not elite that will cover up the lack of K's. I got nothing personal against BJ, I wish him the best. But I just see no chance in hell that he's gonna survive in the majors with the numbers and stuff he's shown in the minors.

    I'm pretty sure WAR takes ballparks, league hitting as a whole and other various factors into it's equation.

    Only 94 at-bats so I'd say it's a bit early to make any trade talk, NTM the Rockies could move him to 2B once Tulo is back.
  9. DPJ
    Well maybe we should look at differently. Mauer, Span, Morneau, Revere, Ploufee, Garza, Perkins, Ramos, Santana (they did rebuild him once he got to MN) Cuddyer, Kubel & Baker (plus I'm sure I'm missing some guys) Now name me another teams that's produced that much MLB talent in the last decade? I agree that the last 5 years have sucked as far as player development, but you make it seem like every teams is pumping out All-Stars from every draft.

    I'm not saying he's overmatched, but the lack of contact is a major concern. He's doing very well for a 19 year old in full season ball, but I don't see how promoting him to Fort Myers fixes any of his issues. You keep mentioning his 15% walk rate which is fantastic, but his strike outs are a concern. First off Machado is a middle infielder (maybe 3B if he gets too big) so I don't see how mentioning his OPS in comparison to Sano's means anything. Whatever the O's wanna do with Machado is their business, hell the Mets have 19 year olds in AA. Doesn't mean it's the right gameplan. Over the last 10 years the Twins have produced Span, Morneau, Mauer, Revere, Ramos, Ploufee and a few intresting position players in the minors. Maybe that's not the sexiest list of players, but maybe the slow promotions has worked a bit. I agree with you that the Twins haven't developed players as well as they should over the last 5 years, but I don't see how pushing kids who clearly still are rough around the edges fixes that.

    Would if really be an injustice to Mauer, hell the team has fielded playoff caliber teams with or around Joe on them in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010. Hell he's missed the postseason in 3 outta the 8 seasons he's been in the majors...pretty good run even if they **** the bed everytime in October. If they Twins want to gear up for a run and not just a AL Central run that involves winnings actually postseason games I think it's gonna take a few years to aquire all the pieces needed for that.
  12. DPJ
    So whydidnt on a crappy Twins forum says he's swinging at balls outside the zone even though multiply reports from people say he's just been feed a steady diet of breaking balls and is still learned to stay back on them. Breaking news you can still strike out on pitches in the zone. You keep him at Beloit cause for all his prodigious, he's not Harper, Trout or Machado. He's not as good as those guys and the numbers say so. If he still killing low-A I would say promote him, but he's having issues with contact their. NTM what's the point of promoting him and getting him to the majors to start his arb clock for a bad team?
  13. DPJ
    Which I can live with, but a kid striking out this often against short season competition isn't a good sign.
  14. DPJ
    So you're saying since no one will pitch to him he's hacking away at stuff outta the zone. Even though I 100% disagree with that, if that's the case I pray the Twins would bench him and tell him to stay within the zone. As far as the Twins being more aggressive, HE'S 19!!!! He'll be in the FSL league when most kids his age are sophomores in college.
  15. DPJ
    The Twins had a known .700 OPS SS with good MI defense and they gave him away for nothing. Actually quite a few people predicted he's be very very bad, it's not like the history of Japs coming to states is littered with star players.
  16. DPJ
    Cause no player from Japan, even the few that succeed like Matsui or Ichiro produce drasticly worse numbers once they come to the states. The stadiums in Japan are smaller, worse pitching, worse fielders, balls running on turf. Matsui's career OPS in Japan was .980, in the states it's .822. Ichiro's OPS dropped over .100 points when he came to the states. You got some kind of inside knowledge on this?
  17. DPJ
    An .800 OPS in Japan is like a .650 OPS in the states.

    What makes me feel worse for this organziation is Nishi BABIP the Twins outta 15 million. Anyone looking at his career numbers could tell his 2010 was a fluke. I get the Twins will never been strong in advanced stats, but how the hell can anyone not involved in baseball not see it? The same front office can couldn't see a .400 BABIP is bad is suppose to turn this whole thing around?
  19. DPJ
    I remember hearing Smith had never actually seen Nishi play, he was just told by the team scouts that he was great and sign him. I love to know those scouts and if they still have jobs?
  20. DPJ
    The O's are winning with smoke and mirrors right now, hell their pythagorean W/L record is 51-60. As for Machado, I don't really have a problem with it. Let the kid get his feet wet and get a taste of the majors. The O's aren't going anywhere so who really cares. I doubt a rough 30 games is gonna destory the kid.
  21. DPJ
    I loved to know what the actually plan is for 2013?
  22. DPJ
    Picture of the week featuring Nishi and we can't get racist...I don't know who you are anymore RP.
  23. DPJ
    If the Twins haven't realized in 2012 that strike outs are good, I doubt a ****ty fielding Asian man is gonna change that.
  24. DPJ
    And maybe I'm onto something since they suck.
  25. DPJ
    Tell Dave to go nuts, hell I'm pretty sure the whole JJ/Nishi debates lead to the most fun I've ever had on BYTO.
