  1. Rather they really go crazy in two offseasons for Machado or Harper. Position players....!
  2. As one of Rosario's most vocal critics I never had any idea I'd be writing this. Then I did some homework: http://zonecoverage.com/2017/twins/2017-minnesota-twins-breakout-candidate-eddie-rosario/ As always, critiques and discussion are welcomed!
  3. There's more than statistics to consider. Not having a third pitch is clearly an issue.
  4. The same was true of the Royals before they got Cueto in 2015. I'm not saying the Twins are copying that whatsoever, but the idea that a great rotation means much has faded a bit.
  5. I've seen a lot of this on Twitter. He didn't exactly face the top Cards lineup, did he? I like him well enough and have no issue with it, just don't think today says much about him.
  6. To repeat: this isn't to say it's how I'd do it, but what I sense will happen.
  7. I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that Berrios is ready to go right now?
  8. Bengie Gonzales is nowhere close, IMO. Org guy type.
  9. Berardino said on my podcast today that they won't put a date on it, but were hesitant when he floated 5/1.
  10. I think I see them adding four guys: Gimenez, Vogelsong, Breslow, Park My guess would be: 60-day Perkins, 60-day May, designate two of O'Rourke/Tonkin/Santana. Probably Tonkin/Santana since they're OOO
  11. If so it'd be at the expense of Duffey, I suspect. I have no issue with that. I like Chargois a lot.
  12. Agree, but I don't think anyone is more "cut-able" than those two. (edit: this was about O'Rourke/Santana)
  13. For instance, a fifth starter wouldn't be "needed" in theory until Monday the 17th if they wanted to keep everyone on schedule. That'd be the 13th game of the season.
  14. Plus not all calendar years are scheduled the same, of course.
  15. Because they were slavish to the rotation. That's not required with scheduled off-days, though.
  16. Fifth starter is barely used early in the season so you want someone who can help you as a swingman but doesn't need to have too rigid of a routine. In other words a house of cards to be bowled over by Mejia and/or Berrios. Same goes for Hector -- though to a higher degree, I guess -- as he's FA eligible after season's end. And also somehow has the lowest career ERA of the five possible starters.
  17. It isn't clear to me how ready guys are for the Royals before they come up. Do they ease them in? I mean they have put together some really good pens, but not exactly conventionally. Hochevar and Davis were bad starters. Holland didn't move exceptionally quickly. Herrera moved exceptionally quickly through the system, though.
  18. Belisle and Kintzler are actually pretty good. Breslow is a roll of the dice.
  19. Chargois was the only one beating the door down, and he got his ass kicked the first time around. The vets are a house of cards, but you need guys like Burdi/Reed/Hildy to force their hand. Hildy should have been up, but got hurt.
  20. It's a weighted average. It does exactly what it's supposed to. The important players in the lineup were young last year, and got a ton of plate appearances.
  21. On the "just missed." You could easily put him on the roster instead of Duffey with Duff starting at Rochester. I love Chargois.
  22. There'll be plenty of room. You basically use up the old guys, cut or trade them and install the kids.
