I think it's too small of a sample size to make any statements on this game and season and trade. Pablo Lopez's expected numbers are really good (who cares about the real outcomes) and in no way will we regret that trade. Arraez having 5 hits for the 3rd time this month is only luck AND definitely isn't entertaining. We're not here for entertainment or real world wins, we're here for good expected stats. That's why I love the new Twinz Way (formerly Twins Way). - Falvine Defenders

I've very much enjoyed this site for years; however the shift from fair criticism to a more generally positive view on everything that this front office does (despite all results, and awful style of play) has gone too far. This was an awful trade that was a reflection on their philosophy. Arraez will be hitting for years to come, and (if Pablo continues to pitch like he has the last 365 days) we will be stuck into a Nolasco-esque contract. Much ink has been spilled about where he would play. His bat plays anywhere. "bUt hIs DefENSe" I see people say (influenced, no doubt, by those covering the team who may or may not be granted better access with more positive coverage) but just know that last year his total runs saved ranked #1 in the league at 1st. This year his total runs saved (#1) and range factor (#5) is more than satisfactory. This brand of baseball is hard to watch, and at the least it would be much easier to watch with someone in the lineup everyday who's getting on base at a .451 clip (particularly when the "best" by far of our regulars gets on base at a .359 clip).
