    Torreyes wasn't injured. He was on the restricted list, which can't be used for injuries, not the IL.

    According to baseball reference, dick n bert are pronouncing it correctly, not you. They have it as "ah-RIZE".
  3. Mr. Brooks
    They are raw grades, independent of position. A guy who isn't good enough to play anywhere but first base is never going to have an 80 grade, even if he's the best defensive first baseman to ever play the game. It could just as well be called an "athletic" grade, rather than fielding. A guy with an 80 fielding grade is athletic enough to play anywhere, 60 can probably pass anywhere, but might need to eventually move off SS or CF, 40 can likely only play a corner position, etc.

    Schoop has a higher OPS this year with RISP than he does with the bases empty. His OPS with RISP (.761) isn't significantly lower than his overall OPS (.781).

    Marwin isn't eligible to return until Saturday.

    MLB pipeline has Raley at a 55 fielding tool, versus a 40 for Rooker. I think you are significantly underselling Raley's defense. I have to imagine that 55 is pretty close to what Kepler and/or Rosario would have graded when they were prospects.

    There is a difference between possible and likely. Anything is possible, but Arraez being top 57 all time in OBP is incredibly far from likely. If it is likely, he's (IMO) the best prospect of all time, a near lock hall of Famer, and shouldn't be traded for anyone in baseball.

    I'm not sure what #1 even means. "Appears"? The Twins will have eyes on him, and all the analytics. They'll know if he's pitching well or not. We might have to rely on appearance, but not them. As for #2, I just can't see them calling him up if he's not fixed. You can disagree, of course, but I disagree that this is even a possibility. And #3 seems quite far fetched. The FO isn't going to stand pat. They are going to acquire legitimate quality bullpen pieces before the deadline. They have the payroll flexibility, prospect capital, and a clear need.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    In the entire history of MLB, only 56 players have posted career OBP of .400 or higher. Even Joe Mauer failed to come close. And you think it's not only LIKELY that Arraez will do this, but that he'll have WELL OVER it? If that was indeed likely, he'd be the #1 overall prospect in baseball.

    Large sample size across all levels of competition: Sano- 3943 PA: .877 OPS Arraez- 2027 PA: .802 OPS
  11. Mr. Brooks
    He's pitching far better than an "average" reliever right now though. Did you read the article?
  12. Mr. Brooks
    I doubt they'd call him up if they haven't fixed his issues.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I don't think Rooker will play the outfield in a MLB game.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    I didn't say no expectations. I said not #2 starter expectations. They paid him $2 million last year to recover, and $8 million this year. On the open market, that's #4 money, at best.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Hey, it worked for Sara Lee.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    #2 pitchers get $100 million+ when they hit free agency, not $10 million. There is no way that #2 was ever a reasonable expectation of Pineda.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    He wasn't falling to 31, so slot $ for 31 is irrelevant. Teams boards are what is relevant, not media rankings, which are fun, but meaningless.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    The Mets are below .500, and are exactly as close to the 2nd worse team in the NL as they are to the second wild card. Of course, there's always a chance they go on a hot streak, but most likely they're clear sellers come trade deadline.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    He pitched today.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Sorry, missed that qualifier then. I'd guess you are correct then. Men tend to inflate their actual achievements.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I don't know how to break this to you, but man + woman isn't the only possible combination of partnership.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    UZR is scaled from 0 being league average.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    What would Jeffers have to do with how much Rortvedt is catching?
  24. Mr. Brooks
    That's not even close to enough for Smith.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    I don't think any of those guys you listed were ever considered untouchable, except Buxton and Sano. Buxton is on his way to an 8+ bWAR season at the MLB level. He has far more trade value right now than he ever had as a prospect. It's quite amazing to me that people haven't noticed the season he is having.
