    Not sure if Hope should be included in a trade, but every other trade of proven major leaguers for prosoects has relied on hope.

    Tri-tater? 4-bagger 3-peat? Triple homer?

    I have often wondered about the obsession with velocity in today's game. There is ample suggestion that the increase in velocity and focus on max effort is responsible for the increase in TJ and other arm issues across MLB. The Twins have shown skill in increasing the velocity of many, many pitchers that they have developed. Is it possible for them to use Ryan as a model and 'develop' them to have more deception and movement or is Ryan a unicorn? If they were able to do so would this provide a means to keep them on the mound (the hypothesis here is that arm health would be positively impacted by doing so)? Could overall pitcher health/longevity be enhanced by a shift from velocity to deception/movement??

    I will mildly disagree. I think is is a great feature and am fine with it being a weekly offering!

    A trade of any of these pitchers should be based on whether or not it is a good baseball trade and not on salary considerations. With the team for sale, there is a good chance we have new owners a year from now. If new owners want a low payroll trading these guys in a year can accomplish that. If they want to invest in payroll, the expected payroll crunch goes away and we retain some very good young pitching.

    ‘Dick Fitts, which is what President Eisenhower probably told reporters who inquired into how Richard Nixon worked in the context of his cabinet’ Brilliant, Matt!

    Would you rather finish sixth and play Houston or fifth and play Yankees/Orioles? Winning division is the goal, but if wildcard then maybe being behind KC is a better place to be…

    A sad thing about the rule change regarding Sept call-ups is the impact the rule has on rewarding long-time organizational minor leaguers with a taste of the majors. Think Tommy Watkins. Whether it’s Helman or Kersey that helps the team more, in the old days both could have been rewarded with a Sept call-up.

    Matt, brilliantly written; but for you that is the norm
  31. Tiantwindup
    I don’t disagree at all with the choice for pitcher of the day, but it’s not every day that a pitching line like Zebby’s falls short of the prize! 60 day for C Lewis? That can’t be good…

    Paulshawn Pasqualotto (I take it back; now that is a baseball name) A pretty poor day on the farm (the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?)…would not be much fun to read about but saved by Matt’s usual fine writing.

    Well written, Seth. It reminds of the childhood admonition ‘It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game’. Unfortunately today it seems that approach is viewed as a quaint aphorism, but to me it is a truism that Mr. Ryan took to heart.
  34. Tiantwindup
    Despite fan impatience I think the delay in the free-agent signings and thus the delay in the trade market benefits the Twins. With the uncertainty in tv deal/payroll, an opening up of the trade market now could handcuff the Twins: do they make trades that cut, maintain or increase payroll? If the market opens up after there is better visibility on revenue then they can approach the trade market with better certainty.

    a little less cool…a little more happy well said!!
