    Hosts are community volunteers. The team isn't paying for their housing.
  2. Mr. Brooks
    My bad, missed that. But definitely no suggestion that he's being screwed.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    Yes, that's pretty much what a $30M contract guarantees. Obviously if he's injured, he'll be in the IL and not playing, but that's not really a "tough decision".
  4. Mr. Brooks
    No. I can't think of a single Twins prospect that is destroying the high minors to the point that it's hard to find a reason to keep them down. Only one I can even think of that's close is Rooker, and I don't think Rooker is a major league hitter until he can significantly reduce his K rate.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    You didn't read the article did you? Nowhere in the article is it claimed that Kepler is underpaid or getting screwed.

    From your link: "Food – Guests may bring food into the CenturyLink Sports Complex required for legitimate medical purposes only." EDIT: Sorry, missed your correction.

    Every couple of years something will trigger a long thread here about throwing at players for retribution for some unwritten rule. When that happens, we learn that there are alot of posters who approve of doing that. So I don't know that it's so hard to believe that it's those same posters who approve of throwing at Astros hitters.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Those other players already served their punishment. Not saying I agree with cutting Marwin, but it's certainly a completely different situation than those other guys.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    He's ranked where he is because of his tools. And that's the way it should be. If we just want to rank production, we don't need scouts or prospect lists, just sort milb by OPS. Results will matter as he gets closer to the show, but for now he has the tools to be ranked where he is.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    I haven't seen one single poster who is normally against head hunting, who has called for it against Astros hitters.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    But WAR doesn't only measure offensive production. If you are looking to compare offensive numbers to offensive numbers with no other context, then just look at those numbers only and don't look at WAR.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Avila can't hit at all? He had exactly a league average bat last year, and 2% better than league average for his career. And those league averages include 1B, DH and corner outfielder, so he's a well above average hitting catcher.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    I think MLB should come up with a list of some kind, where injured players can be removed from the roster and placed, so that they don't have to play injured.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Are you thinking of Giancarlo Stanton? Because Aaron Judge is a really good defensive corner outfielder.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Verlander is already being paid full market salary. You don't trade good prospects for guys you also have to pay full price, unless Houston is picking up a bunch of salary.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    YouTube TV doesn't come via Sinclair. Sinclair owns the Fox Sports channels.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    My mistake. That is indeed a great deal for Bonilla.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    I doubt there are any hard feelings. Most likely, they aren't airing it out in the press because there is nothing to air out.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Deferred money is a poor investment for the player, not the team. That $1.2 million he's getting this year has far less value then it did when he signed the contract, far less. Investing a huge chunk of money at 0.0 interest is laughably foolish. Or at least I'd think it is, I'm not an economics expert.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    Sano doesn't surprise me, as I've already seen those numbers regarding him. I've posted multiple times that the numbers don't bare out the misconception that when Sano strikes out it's because he flails at breaking pitches out of the zone. He's always had tremendous plate discipline, his K struggles have always come when he whiffs on pitches in the zone. Of course, once somebody's "eye test" tells them something, even something false, no amount of factual data is likely to change their minds.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    It must be pretty serious, considering he's a bubble player that had a shot at making the team with a strong camp. Hoping that all ends up well with whatever is going on.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    That's because it's a pretty far out there comparison. Using a toe wedge in a meaningless golf game against your buddies isn't even in the same universe as systematic organization wide cheating by professionals, in a billion dollar industry, that is wagered on by millions of people. And 40,000 people have paid money and taken hours out of their lives to attend a sporting event that is advertised as being fair.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    The Twins are famously deep in young pitching? When did this happen?
  24. Mr. Brooks
    If it had no impact, they wouldn't do it.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Well until we know what happened, we can't say if it's on Romero or not. In your post, you hint at an age discrepancy being a possible cause. Wouldn't lying about his age be on Romero?
