    Why both? Santana, Berrios, Gibson, Mejia, developing over the season will be all the AA arms. Besides in terms of payroll, there are other places that need money. The tired old refrain of Pohlad is a billionaire needs to meet the reality that he did not get that way from spending it
  2. The Wise One
    Any player the Twins sign to be a starter is going to have a few warts and still cost a lot of money. Lynn has not averaged 6IP/start for a while. If you are going for second tier, Cobb would be better
  3. The Wise One
    FIP and x fip as measures of pitching. They use a standard of league average BABIP as if it should normalize to an average over a season. By that kind of logic they should have kept running Nik Turley, Haley, and Wilk out there. As they have ungodly high babip that number should normalize lower. They were the most unlucky pitchers since Andrew Albers, Pat Dean or Worley.. Small sample sizes, the numbers would normalize lower, right? Falvey and Levine were likely right in the lack of mortgaging the future on a 3/4 time starter. The had plenty of pieces with upside available
  4. The Wise One
    People can use trades and signings to judge what Falvey and Levine do. In a year where is seems like Polanco, Rosario, Buxton, Berrios and now lately Gibson, seem to be elevating their games there is either a happy coincidence, or management has brought new ideas. Non prospect pitchers become solid relievers. 3 players getting it would be what you would expect. 8 if you include Adrianza should be an indicator there is something going on somewhere
  5. The Wise One
    Did you miss the ineffectiveness of the multiple number of young arms tested? Maybe Berrios should pitch every other day,

    If I click on your story twice does that count?

    I clicked on your story so you could eat

    There seems to be a side to the electronic only people (blog, podcast) that can't stand the mention of their limitations. There is also a columnist with thin skin and a history of of stretching the truth for negativity. When people read into things what fits their agenda, all lose. It is the bane of any message board.

    Did not say it was better content, different content built up over time.
  10. The Wise One
    You missed my point. Nor did I ever say anything about the only way to talk to people is face to face. That is one of the problems is that people take what you say and make it into something else.

    Yes it is silly to say that not having access gives you an ax to grind. So isn't it silly to call it tedious and like interviewing office workers. Roger Kahn wrote a book called the Boys of Summer. Way back when when I was in grade school I read it. (they gave you a free book after you bought so many, it was the most expensive one) Much later when I understood the world better I realized what a great book it was. Access provided such insight. Souhan crossed a line. He should be slapped for that. The bits that I have seen by Gleeman are not any better, but nobody here is going to call him. Call it what it is, a petty, public catfight.

    Is interviewing players really like walking around an office building interviewing people at their desks? How do you know this? Hanging out in a locker room is tedium? Your profile does not mention that you have ever covered a team to know what it is like to cover a team. These types of comments really validate Souhan's point about the people from afar commenting and trolling.

    from the urban dictionary click bait An eyecatching link on a website which encourages people to read on. It is often paid for by the advertiser ("Paid" click bait) or generates income based on the number of clicks. You are posting clickbait. Half of an idea to get people to click on a story.
  14. The Wise One
    ERA of 4.25 at Cedar Rapids. A couple of those game were pre-fossilized coprolite rather than diamonds in the rough
  15. The Wise One
    I don't do clickbait.
  16. The Wise One
    I notice an absence of pitchers.

    As baseball has reconfigures their criteria of revenue providing, revenue deficient and revenue balanced teams by city size and cable service numbers the team status is going to change. Without that list there is no real way to know what a mid sized market team will have to give up when they sign a free agent.
  18. The Wise One
    would you be so kind as the rules have changed to post where the Twins will fall under the revised revenue sharing plan There are teams that pay, teams that get money and teams that do not..
  19. The Wise One
    Cy Young awards and All Star appearances are popularity contests, not a definitive skill analysis. Getting to the world series or playoffs is a team thing. Rising above the competition is not. Santana has such a small sample size of games. Lacking in that sample is a signature game.
  20. The Wise One
    Gonsalves needs to solve AAA before being called up
  21. The Wise One
    You are a little off base on the bullpen. Rodgers has been adequate in the set up role. Hildenberger has earned the trust to be the other setup man to go along with Rodgers. Good enough that trading Kintzler was not going to cripple the team. It looks like Molitor is trying to get Busenitz i skilled enough for that role. Watch to see how Curtis is used. Big lead, first man out of the pen when losing they might have some confidence in his ability.
  22. The Wise One
    The Buddy Bosher bashers are now minor leaguers
  23. The Wise One
    Like Gimmenez?
  24. The Wise One
    What does Busenitz throw and what does Bruce just kill lately? The answer is a fastball. That is why you take Busenitz out then. Molitor on playing matchups. He might do so only for the next batter up. A lefty to lefty, righty/righty. Name one lefthander that has a large number of games and a significantly smaller number of innings pitched. I came up with Aaron Thompson in 2015. The likely culprit for the difference was shelling. See the 5 era. Sorry Spyguy, your premises are wrong on how Molitor manages,
  25. The Wise One
    If Molitor was trying to get Boshers demoted it worked. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/index.jsp?c_id=min#month=8&year=2017&team_id=142
