    32% K rate is lousy luck

    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?

    the Twins can finding 2-3 Adam Wainrights would be playoff heaven. they might could beat the Yankees
  4. 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.
  5. Prince William
    I am well aware of how much or little Miranda has played at the various positions.
  6. Prince William
    There is strategy on every play. It doesn't matter. The players line up where management tells them to, shift or no shift
  7. Prince William
    Because it makes incredible sense to get rid of the team's best hitter or have a minor league player learn a new position at the major league level
  8. Prince William
    It is entirely possible to be critical of something that someone does and praise something else that they have done.

    The longer I am around people I get the impression that all or none is the common way to look at things. Nuance is long gone. The success of the FO with Odo and Pineda is long forgotten when there is a Happ and Shoemaker. That this FO found a diamond in the rough with Ober, possibly nabbed a very good pitcher for Cruz is meaningless because EVERYBODY else is signing players.
  10. Prince William
    Every play that a player is in position to make is of equal value. There can be no argument about that
  11. Prince William
    Ok, you could replace Miranda for Arraez, not all three
  12. Prince William
    They tell outfielder to play in or out a bit. They have infielders play in for a bunt. It is no different then asking them to shift. Find a the proof that shows a good infielder turns into a bad one by shifting, not speculation. Shifting did not turn Polonco into a good statistical shortstop

    The sequence is inconsequential but the timing is not. Say with the number 8 pick in the draft you get Francisco Lindor lookalike/playalike clone. Lindor was a number eight pick, so lightning can strike twice. Would it matter if you signed Scherzer to a 3 year deal and traded for Adam Wainright when the player is ready on the same schedule as Lindor was, in the major league in 5 seasons?
  14. Prince William
    The people that make a living off prognostications did not think that San Francisco had a semblance of talented players. Compared to a beer league team they would be considered talented, but not as a major league baseball team.

    Would Ben Simmons lose a right handed game of horse to Jim Abbott?
  16. Prince William
    Falvey is responsible for how The Guardians spend their money? Falvey makes the trades for the Guardians? Falvey needed a shortstop and couldn't work his connections to get Lindor? Holy guessing game. Falvey did not trade Buxton at peak value, much like Cleveland did with Lindor?
  17. Prince William
    Players to any level of play is suspect until they prove it over and over again. Kepler looked all world in 2019. It is suspect if he will ever do it again. Buxton is suspect to being able to play a full season.

    As near as I can tell when a player plays defense there job is to catch balls. When you do not make the play regardless of where you start, the SDI will go down. When you make all the plays it goes up. Hmm, a metric that compares what you do on every play.
  19. Prince William
    I would presume you choose to ignore the part of both statements that state it is not a precise measurement, anything within one is close enough for them. You really should reread the definition of FIP if you think it is a predictive state
  20. Prince William
    Arraez is an utility player, Sano is 1B, Donaldson 3B. That is hardly duplicate.
  21. Prince William
    Sorry I asked you a question. Yes one has little to do with the other You could have simply said no you have not
  22. Prince William
    Baseball reference states We present the WAR values with decimal places because this relates the WAR value back to the runs contributed (as one win is about ten runs), but you should not take any full-season difference between two players of less than one to two wins to be definitive (especially when the defensive metrics are included). Fangraphs states WAR is not meant to be a perfectly precise indicator of a player’s contribution, but rather an estimate of their value to date. Given the imperfections of some of the available data and the assumptions made to calculate other components, WAR works best as an approximation. If used as designed it doesn't matter which version you use. About all you can say for what the Twins signed is that some were solid starters, some were better than nothing. It really doesn't say anything about the FO's ability to judge talent. The careers of Ober or any other talent the FO signs or drafts is what will determine their ability
  23. Prince William
    By those measures it was better to trade Berrios than to sign him. Have you done any poking around on oft injured center fielders?
  24. Prince William
    Fangraph stats and Baseball reference stats would lead a fan to believe Simmons was bad at defense. SABR likes him. Which statistical organization is correct? The correct answer is whichever one you need to back your opinion.
  25. Prince William
    Corner outfielders are the only duplicate assets the Twins have. They might get a league average pitcher. While a durable league average pitcher is a valuable asset I really don't think many here would think that way
