    Optimism? This had to be one of the best non-gets for the Twins in quite some time.

    Making the postseason.

    This team has no heart

    Chachi commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Seems like forever ago at this point - but earlier this year the Twins passed the eye test as a team that looked like they were having fun and had a measure of the 'it' factor. Chicken or Egg debate is fair - they were winning and had a spark that was compelling to watch. So disappointing in how far and how low their vibe sunk over the course of the season.

    Perhaps the market for Carlos was waiting to see what he would produce without the advanced pitch recognition strategies they deployed in Houston. This season’s performance is the result and could be the more stable indicator of what he will be moving forward. Under that scenario, Correa would know it too and may take a second year of the Twins contract unless someone really wants to overpay for what he really is production-wise.

    How does Miranda end up with A top and bottom WPA?

    Last night's Kernels game was the very first minor league game I have attended in person. It was a terrific experience and also lucky to have witnessed Lee's first professional HR. That said, the level of baseball was a bit disappointing, specifically in the first few innings. The number of botches, errors and passed balls (Lee's two errors including a butchered routine pop-fly stand out) were less than impressive. For those that have seen vastly more affiliated baseball at the High-A level - was yesterday's game an outlier from a quality baseball perspective? (we were left speculating how the players might have spent their day off on Monday). Just curious to hear from anyone with more experience watching and if what we saw is to be expected more often than not?

    CC is exactly the type of performer the Twins (or any division contender) should be trying to trade FOR in the middle of a playoff race to improve the team and chances in the post-season. We have him now and it didn't cost us a single prospect. We're a step ahead! Let's use those assets to get the pitching we need to further improve our chances during the season we are currently navigating and enjoying.

    My hope is that Bundy’s tenure is tied to his innings completed tonight: 1 inning = gone in one week. 2 innings = two weeks…

    Agree that it is difficult to ignore that the contact incentives that did seem well aligned for both the team and player’s best interests have created, at the very least, a reason to consider what unintended consequences managing to those playing time thresholds invites.

    This time last year - the season was over and depressing any way you looked at it. Abysmal performance and little confidence in any discernable direction contributed to what was a hopeless low of lows. (IMHO) Fast-Forward to 2022: Beyond the inherent excitement that comes with simply being if first place as summer starts, this edition of the Twins is a wildly interesting (and entertaining) intersection of prime-level superstars, new acquisitions, core players and exciting prospects all contributing to what feels like a team with a compelling trajectory. If all those storylines aren't enough - it now appears that the White Sox are ready to join the race and a dogfight for the division crown...sign me up! Last - FWIW, hot rookies typically enjoy a shelf-life of surprising production before the league adjusts. Perhaps 'hiding' Lewis in AAA for a bit longer extends the tail end of any honeymoon period to a point in the season where his extra juice will be even more important. We'll find out soon enough (yet another reason this season is among the most engaging I can remember).

    This changes everything, the magic number algorithm is going to need some adjustments ASAP.

    Correa has some big shoes to fill!

    When does this prediction start to win awards?? Kepler’s on fire! Please do more of these!!!
  14. Chachi
    We don't talk about Sano.
  15. Chachi
    Pre-emptive trade deadline deal? Will be interesting to see how the value in return compares to comparable moves in late July.
  16. Chachi
    What if we just gave up the next Willie Banks??
  17. Chachi
    I get that there is a bit of flotsam on the 40 man roster - but +3 and -1 over the weekend means two spots needed? Does a pause on the rule 5 draft work in the Twins favor in this case?
  18. Chachi
    Converting future value to immediate value makes sense and if the move(s) don’t end up creating a contender - we can readjust at the trade deadline back to prospective value. Taking a shot!
  19. Chachi
    That was you!?!!! Nice catch!

    Remember being at the game In Sept 2006 when Liriano attempted to return to the rotation that year, before the playoffs. Our seats were just above the third base dugout and we could hear a ton of the A’s chatter during the game. Liriano had just dispatched Frank Thomas, and made him look silly doing it, and when he walked past the on-deck batter he told him “good luck to anyone trying to hit that #%+*%#+% today”. HE WAS BACK!..and we knew what that meant!! The feel at the Dome that day was something you can’t forget; Peak Liriano back for the playoffs - no one could stop us!!! Alas, a few innings later, he was pulled from the game and….the dream was over. Regardless, 2006 was the most remarkable and most interesting Twins season I’ve ever seen and Liriano was a massive boost to the plot all summer - thank you Francisco!

    In my mind, he took Cave’s spot on the roster and that makes the Twins better with this signing.
  24. Chachi
    Doesn't seem like putting limited discretionary money toward a relative strength is the most impactful way to invest. With that being said - if we somehow turn his signing into another trade deadline acquisition like Ryan you might squint and see a win-win situation.

    No animals were hurt during the making of this bullpen analysis.
