  1. We have heard from various sources lately about how Levine and Falvey value intangibles / leadership. I would assume if the rumors are true that this is what that's about, not capturing some marginal value at DH or flipping him at the deadline.
  2. I will probably get blasted for this but if Napoli lands elsewhere then I'd love to see them give Jose Bautista a call. Tim Dierkes thinks he'll land a 3 year 50m deal with an opt-out, or even a straight 1 year deal. He's definitely a spark plug on the field at least and absolutely crushes at Target Field. Would cost a draft pick...
  3. OK...
  4. It would be great if we didn't have to contract clubhouse leadership from old slow vets but that seems to be the reality with this team.
  5. Huh?
  6. Some good economic news this week. 2.9% 3rd quarter GDP growth was revised up to 3.2%. October non-farm hiring was greater than expected. Consumer confidence hit a 9 year high in November. And OPEC agreed to a production cap which is going to be a boon for US shale.
  7. A player's defense obviously varies game to game. The question is, how much variation can an entire team have over a ~200 inning sample?
  8. 1-2 runs he says.
  9. Wonder if the Braves will try moving him back to C.
  10. Anyone else finish this show?
  11. Good start to the offseason!
  12. DSP introduces new GM and VP hires to Jack Goin and the analytics dept.
  13. I would assume Molitor had ultimate say in deciding who pitched where.
  14. Minnesota scouts, personnel, etc welcome outside hire Derek Falvey to One Twins Way:
  15. Checking in on Anthony Swarzak:
  16. Glen Perkins tells beat reporter "I will pitch beyond my current contract."
  17. Following Plouffe's release, Miguel Sano begins Plan B offseason workout regimen.
  18. Answer: I just go where they tell me. Third, second, center, catcher, pitcher. I just want to help the team win.
  19. There are good points on both sides IMO. There are also good counters to each. How's this for a hot take: trade Trevor May. If he is questionable as a starter (and I think he is) and can't stay healthy in the pen, then how much good is that guy really?
  20. Wood and Evans had breakouts last year in AA and continued this fall/winter. Is there any way the new FO could convince Molitor to release DanSan and go with a AA lotto ticket all season instead? Probably easier to just draft a reliever.
  21. Spin rate notes were interesting. Maybe we have a LH version of Dan Haren or Jared Weaver with Gonsalves?
  22. Puerto Rico?
  23. It would be kinda cool to have two Johan Santana's on the same team.
  24. Good defender, took good at-bats, and seemed like a rock solid teammate. Too bad about the oblique stuff last season.
  25. http://www.fangraphs.com/library/defense/uzr/ See "How to Use UZR," the part about sample sizes.
