    People have visions of modular pitching staffs yet is hasn't been done. Relievers haven't pitched 100 innings since iron Mike Marshall for a reason. Duran isn't the pitcher to do that

    From the article I can know the speed of his pitches, beyond that knowledge of him becomes like Sargent Schultz. When there is a clearer picture painted an opinion can be formed. Speed alone is meaningless. Jim Hoey and Max Scherzer threw at about the same speed on the fastball. Slightly different career outcomes.

    Injuries lead to out of sight, out of mind. It is no big deal that they fall in rankings.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sano is like Plouffe. Plouffe should have been traded after the 2014 season , The value after a good season was never going to be higher. Ryan's logic was that they would have to find a replacement. Two seasons later he was released, Twins might have gotten a thank you for the opportunity. The Twins might have gotten a decent pitching prospect. It was Terry Ryan so likely a tall sinkerball pitcher. Sano had the great season. A trade could have patched a hole while creating another. The team again could have had a great prospect for the former great prospect putting everything together. On the other hand analytics might have said no to a trade for any of those two.

    I hope that whatever hitting institute he works with has a way of teaching him how to recognize and hit an off speed pitch

    Increased torque in the delivery increases the speed of a fastball. That same torque also increases the stress on joints. Some arms can take it, some cannot. There will be those that say it is the increased sliders leading to the injuries. It may be due to the increased speed. Look up the PT who writes here

    There are some things that don't seem well thought out to me. There is a call for multi inning relief pitchers. When there are has been only a couple of instances of 100 inning relievers in the last 20 years, very few 80 and 90 inning pitchers and a lot of Tommy John surgery it would appear that the arms of today really is not going to hold up to the demands of max effort pitching on little rest. You have little rest with more innings. Some people need routine, some do not. Some people thrive with order, some with chaos. The trick is to have like minded people where they work best.

    Hmmm. Justin Mason’s 2022 Shortstop Ranks: 1/21/22 | RotoGraphs Fantasy Baseball (fangraphs.com) Yes Lewis has a low ranking here, This is the ranking as compared to the major league shortstops. Polanco has a high ranking.
  9. Prince William
    And the ratings could be so wrong that Lewis could be that one of two players by the end of the season that make the difference between division glory and division gory

    2019 was unexpected. That is the joy of human performance events. Which player is going to show up? Are some players maturing or now past over ripe going to rotten? The position players have not changed all that much. 2 players could be the difference. It could be no difference. If I knew the answer I wouldn't have a question.
  11. Prince William
    You used Olney as a source that the team is not one or two players away. Two players could make all the difference in the world for next year's Twins. A healthy Beuhler and Urias would make all the difference in the world for the Twins. Olney is a fop, yet you use him for stating the Twins do not have any top 10 position players. . You can't have it both ways

    To make it palatable for a rebuilding team to take a salary dump is to entice them with decent prospect. Money for the franchises that are in the luxury tax realm is easier to come by than prospects, so the idea of trading prospects to dump salary is not going to happen unless it is a boatload of high risk, high ceiling, warted out prospects.

    The track record of prospect lists has improved, but it is not a foolproof science. What is the proof of Buster Onley's self proclaimed greatness other than a paycheck for scribbles or babbles? It is no better than the proclaimed greatness of a prospect list
  14. Prince William
    It is more likely that it was poor proofreading rather than grammar with an auto correct to blame

    He did not throw a slider is a possible cause. He has a bad 2020 and was outrighted. At the end of the season he was not added back to the 40 man. As near as I can piece together, Zack had paid his dues and could opt for free agency at the end of the year and did just that. https://www.mlb.com/player/zack-littell-641793

    7/200 and hope he he can be productive in his end of contract years. The baseball reference gives him a similarity score through age 29 as he is similar to Larry Walker. That would be good. They say he is more closer to Richard Hidalgo. That would be a disaster for Bryant to go down that path
  18. Prince William
    I don't think there were any pitchers who did not pitch in 2020 throwing much over 100 innings, so 2020 affected everyone
  19. Prince William
    There hasn't been much for trades to judge what the price may be. Fan proposals are what they are. Too bad Smeltzer did not pitch just a little bit better 2 years ago. He could have been that major league peace err piece
  20. Prince William
    They will go hard for the one or two year contracts that no one wants to sign until there is no other option. One week before spring training is the time when the FO plan will become clearer. The other avenue is trades. When the price of long term contracts went up the asking price for traded pitching must have gone way up.

    Which pitcher for the Guardians has been ranked? That is why you can't believe rankings.
  22. Prince William
    32% K rate is lousy luck
  23. Prince William
    Miranda is a different from Wallner in terms of progress and and position. 6-5 and 250 is also a little different than 6-2 210. On the other hand both grapefruit and apples are both fruits. They are high in pectin which will produce something in the end. Wallner may or may not progress this year. Edouard Jullian could be the stud from the Rapids Who knows at that stage?
  24. Prince William
    the Twins can finding 2-3 Adam Wainrights would be playoff heaven. they might could beat the Yankees
  25. Prince William
    It is not a troll move. A person can think that players having career years will regress and/or have age decline by age 33-34. You would then prefer to have a lottery ticket that performed well once for one year than a large contract that goes belly up.
