    Not sure the author knows what "replacement level" means... Sorry, definitely sure!

    Hmm, I called him Rocchead and my post got deleted... Guess that he's now unemployed makes it funny!

    So, you missed the just concluded season??? Ober didn't even make the modest contribution you were looking for... well, maybe way back of the rotation. Joe Mays production, with the adulation usually reserved for a Radke or Viola!

    When the first name on your "core" list has a career percentage of games played of <53% you are kinda FUBARed... "Flawed" isn't the "F" in FUBAR...

    True-ish. But any team routinely putting the cast iron Canadian in the field isn't ever going to be good defensively. Not to mention the Incredible Bulk in RF, everyone (sans Bader) in LF, and of course every "anyone can play 1B" option after France's trade. Bottom of the barrel D from half your position players will result in bottom of the barrel defense. Buxton or not.

    He wasn't a "scapegoat". He wasn't competent. Very simply, he has "led" (to use the term very loosely) MLB's most disappointing team for two consecutive seasons. The only surprising thing to me is that he got to do it the second time. Good riddance to bad rubbish. At least a bit of it anyway!

    I think youtube has old games. Might be the last chance I have to see a competent Twins team.... Go utube!!!!

    Second time in his career to qualify for a batting title...

    Who was the 2nd cutest Little Rascal? Darla was the cutest, but who was next? My point is, no one cares. The "2nd best" in a horrible subset isn't an accomplishment, but a mathematical certainty when the subset includes 2 entities.

    But, but ,but... Just look at Rocco's pet Canadian and his play at 1B. Looks even worse than he does at 2B - which was historically terrible. Compare him to France who was almost universally derided when signed because he graded out as the "worst" 1B last season. Even Mr. McGoo could see that he was laps ahead of any of the "anyone can play 1B" candidates...
  11. Bodie
    No, he's a MiLB FA. Book it!
  12. Bodie
    Wow! Got all the way to #2 before the " good news" becomes actual bad news...
  13. Bodie
    Rocco is sure as sh!t "rank"...

    Saw something in this game that has been missing for the last 2-3 seasons... And that is the ability to get going after a bad start. We've been treated to a team that you could tell in about 2-3 innings if there was any reason to watch a particular game. No life shown early meant that there was about a 1% chance of the Twins getting going! I surely don't care to see the starter shelled (again...), but at least this bunch of "leftovers" kept the gas pedal down, and made a game of it! Not a good (quality) game, but at least it was entertaining. Which beats the snot out of the pre-trade deadline Twins! (i.e. bad quality baseball played with zero heart, effort or professionalism)

    I can't find it... and I have tried! The first of 2 metrics measured were % of runners attempting to advance on balls in play. Wallner clocked in at 42% of runners attempting to advance "an extra base" (admittedly subjective). No one had a 43%, though several were at 42. Everyone else was lower. The success percentage had him 2 percentage points from the bottom, though only 13% from the top ( a surprising small range, imo). The actual percentages escape me at the moment.

    Baseball savant

    Hey, old man! Your opinion is fact. There are 4 worse CFs the Twins have played this year. Want to talk about bad OFs? How about Wallner and his 151st best OF arm? Bet you didn't know you could be 151st on any MLB OF list... (which, by the way ranks him 7 places behind Larnach!)
  18. Bodie
    Well, this Iowegian thinks "failure" looks a lot like a Minnesota "C"!
  19. Bodie
    Sad, but true. Even sadder is the seeming rush to "fix" this team with one-tool potential types...
  20. Bodie
    Since he didn't (again) stay healthy, he didn't answer the one question attached to him...
  21. Bodie
    Well, at least we have that vaunted "pitching pipeline" going...
  22. Bodie
    However you describe Buxton is your own deal. To say he "runs like a maniac" makes me think you've never seen him play though. Smooooooooth long strides that eat up the distance as easily as a loping deer is hardly maniacal! Miguel Sano ran like a maniac. 100% effort on the running and 0% chance of doing anything productive when he got "there".

    All week, and twice on weekends!

    He's a gamer. Versatile. Heck, he might even be "clutch". What he ain't is an everyday player. Let alone at a premium offensive position. I get that there needs to be "content" or there isn't much of a reason for the site, but come on!
  25. Bodie
    Some people seem to think that bat speed is a stat just like hits or runs... I've got some boob on here telling me repeatedly, absolutely convinced, that Matt Wallner is an elite hitter. Not based on his .22something batting average, or 18!!! homer's and 35 RBIs. But because of his swing speed. Good hitters hit, not just swing hard. Would you want a 3 time batting champ (consecutively) with a "bad" swing speed or Mr. 35 RBIs and his "elite" bat speed? Not even a question worth asking...
