    Mets have become one of those teams with an excellent pitching lab, largely thanks to the guy they hired away from Falvey, Jeremy Heffner.
  2. NYCTK
    Mets have 3 they've been using regularly for multiple innings. Butto and Kranick as well.
  3. NYCTK
    The Mets AAA actually.

    Someone must have accidentally banged the trash can. Carlos was looking for the wrong pitch.
  5. NYCTK
    Anyone with the choice should consider listening to the Mets booth. Provus just out there making up stuff as if Mark Reynolds $14 million dollar deal buying out his arb years was some huge contract?

    Fans get too invested in what the Twins Organization and other Twins fans say about their own prospects. Of that list, only Royce and Kiriloff were concensus top level prospects. Lee is kinda that next tier that we should still expect him to be a valuable player but not really an all star.
  7. NYCTK
    No one's paying any sort of premium for a bat only player with a 101 career OPS+. He reminds me of Delmon Young, and he went on to accumulate 0 WAR after the age 25.
  8. NYCTK
    Ditto. LFGM. Everyone should have an NL team. The Twins don't deserve anyone's attention.
  9. NYCTK
    Makes sense, you want the 4th OF to feel comfortable in all 3 positions.

    Oh, the naiveté. Clapping at the crumbs while the billionaires get cookies, all while they massively explode the deficit while simultaneously yelling at how large the national debt. All as a pretense for the world's richest man (and ironically, the world's biggest welfare queen) to fire veterans and take away benefits and services from those most in need.

    Actually hilarious how terrible of business people the Pohlad family turned out to be. Carl must be looking up at them, so pissed.

    The thing is Miranda is no longer a league minimum player next year. If he isn't non-tendered, he's instantly more expensive than Ty France was this season. So...yeah, it kind of is his last chance, at least with the Twins. I think that's being a bit hyperbolic, but it's not completely out of line.
  13. NYCTK
    Yeah. I'm convinced now. Unless some miraculous stability appears in DC, there's just far too much uncertainty in every facet of consideration. Pohlad's aren't selling. Another failure from the failsons. This means the Twins aren't actually competing this year. Nor next in all likelihood.

    Thankfully the GOP is working on more tax cuts for those struggling job creators 🙏 #savetheyachts

    Great points, but this I hadn't thought of. We could very well see the stock of the United States as a destination for exceptional international individuals crater like we're seeing with the nazi car company. The attempted deportation of a permanent resident protestor on flimsy "anti-american" accusations? The USA could very well look much like Russia within a few years, with all the protectionism and complete destruction of soft power, and the industries remaining would be left with a fraction of the value.

    What this means for the Twins is attendance will drop further. Interest in the club is at a 25 year low.
  17. NYCTK
    Eh. Don't feel too bad. He got a 7 million dollar check 5 years ago, which I hope he's saved properly. It's just a shame that player didn't develop any skills at all. I can understand why scouts thought the incredible athlete would improve some facets of his game, but they were sadly mistaken.
  18. NYCTK
    Dashawn Keirsey should get a call up before Martin for the OF. Many should get the call up before him in the IF. Austin Martin is effectively done. Post your favorite Austin Martin memory. Here's mine: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=7d62d974-e14d-4cd6-a2c1-45744caeed2c
  19. NYCTK
    No. He has plenty of experience. He's just bad. Maybe he can be only really bad instead of unbearably bad? But he's going to be bad, despite what Rocco says. I think the Twins are at the point where they're basically admitting he has no place with the team. Take the under on 250 PAs for him, and I'd take the under on 175. I said during the offseason that he'd fail to reach 1000 in his career, and I think that's being too kind to him now.
  20. NYCTK
    Still laughing at the ridiculous assertion that Austin Martin can just work harder and somehow become a better outfielder. That implies he hasn't worked hard the other thousand innings he's been out there. Matt Wallner should be expected to be far worse than average. Hope his defensive liability is small but he's nit going to be average. But this is the reason I was so happy to see the Twins hire Bader and the singular reason anyone fighting against it was just wrong.
  21. NYCTK
    Was curious, so I wanted to see what other's with his "profile" had for a BABIP. 300, 320, 330, et al I think it's totally reasonable to expect Matt Wallner to have a higher BABIP than average, but no one should expect a 390...or even a 350. Twins fans need to be comfortable with him hitting .230, with that same mammoth power and atrocious defense. If not, it's going to be a long season.
  22. NYCTK
    Matt Wallner is, indeed, a very, very bad OF. His OF jumps are amongst the worst, if not THE worst, in the entire league. Of 180 OF that played at least 10 balls, he covered the least ground, tied with a DH. In 2023 he was 178/181 OF beating out 2 players that teams rightfully have moved to DH, and a player that decided to hang em up. His arm doesn't make up for all of that, but it does help make it a bit more acceptable. Obviously his power is the reason he's in the majors. But with that K-rate there WILL be extremely bad stretches. There will be 2-3 week periods where he's hitting under .100. But there will also be week-long stretches where his bat alone wins games. He's going to be very frustrating, but should be somewhere in the 2.5-3.0 WAR range at the end of the year. I'm actually encouraged to see his K-rate at 25% in spring, a nice improvement from the 39% he showed last spring training which obviously foretold a very, very rough start to the season.
  23. NYCTK
    Truly. Odds are he flames out and doesn't do much of anything in the Majors, but you can say that about literally any of the prospects not named Jenkins. Twins not inviting a prospect in AAA at a position of extreme weakness just screams managerial incompetence. But what's new?
  24. NYCTK
    I've run into this criticism. I both understand that the catcher duty is fairly evenly split on the Twins, but also recognize that Jeffers is the "starter" and Vazquez is the "backup". Similarly, just because Bader is the 4th OF doesn't mean he'll never start in LF obviously, nor that he might even, at the end of the year, have the most games in the OF. Much like Margot did last season. That doesn't mean he isn't the 4th OF. All pedantry.
  25. NYCTK
    Finally, the Pohalds can ban people that criticize them. Knicks owner has done exactly that.
