    They should be able to afford both next year, IMO, but probably not in 2021.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    No, I don't typically look at xFIP as I don't quite believe that every pitcher should be expected to have an equalized HR rate, so I have no idea how Kuechel compares to the pitchers we already have in that metric. I can check myself though, when I get a spare minute or two, cooking now.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    What are the xFIP's of our current rotation (including Pineda)?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    Well sure, I'd take that too, in the bank. I don't expect it to continue forward though.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    Disappointing series. The silver lining, IMO, is the way the offense continued to battle yesterday and today. I've been forced to watch Twins teams in the past that lay down and die in games like these. I'm not declaring any moral victories, but I still was happy to see them keep fighting.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    He only needs to be on the 40 man roster by August 31st. And even players added later can get a league waiver if they're replacing an injured player, so long as they were in the organization by August 31st.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    It's possible that be rounds into form as the season rolls on, since he got a late start, but Kuechel has a 4.75 FIP in the national league so far. He's essentially been Martin Perez.

    Substantially lower offensive production? Kepler signed his extension before his offensive breakout this year. His previous 3 seasons OPS+ were 97,95, and 96. If you toss out last season, when something clearly wasn't right with Buxton all year, he'll have a better 3 season OPS+ than Kepler had. Even if you INCLUDE last year, Buxton has a chance to get his career OPS+ within 5% of what Kepler's was going into his extension talks.

    Row the boat! I said I'd buy in if PJ beat Wisconsin, and I'm a man of my word.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    Since there is no dead money beyond this year, I think they actually save 200 or 300 grand against the cap if they cut him.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Ok, but even if he moves up to AAA after the draft, that still doesn't fit the timeline of "at least two years away". I mean, it very well could take two years, because injuries and setbacks can occur, but he also could be ready by this time next year.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    I don't see why he'd make the team in that case.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I really hope the FO isn't even looking at ERA for minor leaguers, let alone in 11 inning sample sizes. Duran earned his promotion, and I suspect he'll do well at AA as well.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Removing him and sliding up everyone (including 21) sounds like a solid standard to set to me.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    I'm looking forward to Cutting giving McDermott the heave ho.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    Why is Duran at least two years away? He's in AA right now. He should start next year at AAA.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Please refrain from reminding us of the 96 Twins. Thanks.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    It actually wasn't the all star break when it changed to league first, it was after the trade deadline. That went away with the elimination of the waiver trade deadline. The only time it comes into play now, is as a tie breaker if two teams from opposite leagues (with identical records) both submit a claim.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Waivers no longer go by league first.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    3.81 career ERA as a reliever.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    I understand they aren't true stories. But I want my art to reflect the realities of life. As Carole said though, some people go to the movies to escape from the reality of life, which makes total sense now.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    That makes total sense. Thanks.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    Sorry, I didn't intend to imply that you meant any of those things. I was just trying to understand why it's uncomfortable to watch. I often hear people say that, and I'm always curious, specifically why. Just not your cup of tea, or something deeper that the violence triggers, etc. I don't mean to suggest that whatever your/ their reasons are (maybe they don't even know, they just know it makes them uncomfortable, and can't finger why that is) not valid. I've just never had that experience, so I'm always genuinely curious when I hear people say that about Tarantino's movies.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    Real life is violent as hell. Shouldn't art reflect that? Especially the subjects that Tarantino tackles. Armed jewel robbery, organized crime hitmen, trained assassins, nazi hunters, slave traders, frontier bounty hunters... how do you tell those stories, realistically, without violence?
  25. Mr. Brooks
    8 innings pitched is far too small of a sample to have any meaning.
