    agreed 100% but this strategy will take 10-15 years to develop to maturity. This organization must get more out of the players already in their system and acquire/trade-for/rule 5 draft other players in the intermediate.

    well yeah. 7th inning reliever isn't exactly high impact. Now that I think of it. Knowing Moli loves to pick one reliever and trot him out there 2 of 3 games until his arm falls off; maybe Belisle will be that guy and Moli won't pick a guy like Chagois, Light or May. Then Belisle would have a long lasting high impact as a protector of young arms.
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    true enough, but I really doubt Boshers has a long high leverage career in front of him. Tonkin doesn't exactly do a lot for me either. Marginal improvements are still improvements

    1. Santana2. Santiago 3. Gibson 4. Berrios 5. May Hughes Pressly Haley Chargois Kintzler Perkins* Belisle In no particular order

    in the metrodome days I volunteered in a food/beer stand to earn money for my various philanthropic groups. Beer stands were closed after the 7th inning, we the cleaned and closed and could watch the 9th from the top of the stairs. Food took longer to clean and were open later. No luck. I have a few friends who became TF ushers in retirement. Apparently that is like the most fun job in the world.

    To paraphrase Gleeman; it's impossible to screw up a 1 year deal. If he can stay healthy, he should stabilize the bullpen.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    i don't think Mauer and Morneau's results were causal. Concussions certainly were causal and they were independent events:
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    indeed, an agent needs to drum up business for their client

    if someone pays you to provide a service, you generally provide the service. In Daves case he gave the milk for free, it was ownership of TD that benefitted. It's sports, not overthrowing a democracy. Why is click bait inferred to as bad? We are all willing participants and I for one am happy to have been able to discuss far more ludicrous things in a baseball offseason than signing Justin Morneau.
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Seems like Santana is most likely to do it, but he was good last year so if the every other year thing holds up... I would predict Gibson second most likely. I would not want Duffey, Berrios or May to surpass 180-185. No need to injure the future of the franchise. I would be shocked if Hughes was a starter for an extended period in 2017

    click bait is critical for every publication that draws its revenue from online advertising.... Ahem..... .... So.... Nothing clickable here.... Cough...Dozier Trade Thread....Cough Dave I kid! I loved the speculation, please don't take offense
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    Per LEN3 "Here's another example. There have been whispers about the Twins bringing back Justin Morneau. Morneau and the Twins did have a conversation, but the sides realized that there's no room for him on the roster." http://m.startribune.com/joe-blanton-boone-logan-are-pitchers-on-twins-radar/412183583/?section=sports Oh thank God
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    this is exactly why new blood was needed. Track man or pitch fx or whatever the tool is: it doesn't really matter if you dont manage its use. Of course when you've been doing your same job for 18 years it's really hard to break the cycle
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    i think 1 year and 8-10 mil are both pretty optimistic. 2 years 18-22 mil for the small side of the platoon? Hmmm.... nope
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    has there been sweeping Twins affiliate pitching coach changes that I missed?
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    minor league deal would be worth the look. But I still hope if there were a DH signed it would be a guy who could fake it in RF once in a while.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    agreed on the need for Bullpen help, but why not move Pelfrey to the pen?
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    So much fun! Thanks for the great event.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    can he pitch?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    It would be nice if said DH on the cheap could be a righty who could fake it in RF once in a while against a tough lefty.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think we're making a bit too much of the weight and not enough of the effort and focus. Really great to see one manifestation of effort show up in his physique. Let's see if his performance at the bag and at the dish follow suit.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    yep, really hard to frame balls that skip the plate and roll to the backstop
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    above average connotes "good", it's semantics.... In my mind mean or mode works better with cleaner larger sample data. So mean pitcher era is a better middle point than mean team and median team is better than mean team. 30 data points doesn't smooth the data very well. It's mostly preference and certainly nothing to quibble over. Mostly I just like when posters use specific terms for the metric so we can all be clear of intent and not derail a subject (Like this post is doing right now)

    i learned more about the Twins from the TD plug than from Doogie
