  1. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/bailey-ober-641927?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb his average is 91
  2. https://www.twinkietown.com/2013/1/4/3833034/an-oral-history-of-nick-punto-sliding-headfirst-into-first-base GET MONEY!
  3. Paddack began his rehab 9/5. 21 days is Sept 26. Gordon began his rehab 9/14(?) so his 21 day rehab would end 10/5 but the regular season ends 10/1. Alcala began his rehab 9/9, so his 21 days are up 10/1 Looks like Stewart is scheduled to return 9/21 but isn’t having a traditional rehab assignment. https://www.mlb.com/twins/news/twins-injuries-and-roster-moves my guess is Stewart fills the 40th spot on the roster-Headrick optioned, Paddack takes Floro’s spot (DFA) on the 40/26, Alcala and Gordon don’t get activated for the post season my last guess is Buxton has another setback
  4. was he on the 40 man Aug 31?
  5. Who’s Valdez? Do you mean Vazquez?
  6. What are the realistic odds he becomes the 130wRC+ hitter this post season? Season to date he has not been one of the 13 best hitters on the team.
  7. “We're going to make it happen," - Paparesta in regards to Buxton playing CF for the Twins this season https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38394558/twins-planning-byron-buxton-playing-again-season i have mixed feelings about this
  8. By WPA Vazquez is a rally killer, almost as bad as Correa
  9. They’re tracking to 84 to 85 wins, correct, when half of their games are played against teams with a combined 236 and 345, 40.6% win or 66 wins 96 losses for a single team-season
  10. 538 was the prediction for 2022! Puckett’s Pond, quite the source
  11. Jack Goin is a poster here who worked in the Twins front office. I guarantee there are others past and present, who lurk and probably chuckle at our WAGs. The OP was a very wordy “I told you so”. It was Hawkeye’s opinion, that they were correct in proclaiming the decision to stand-pat was the correct one. that, IMO opens it up to countering the correctness of the OP. I also disagree with the decision to stand pat. It would have been cheaper and more comprehensive to address the deficiency of the bullpen and right handed bench outfielder in the offseason, but the FO chose not to. They then chose not to at the trade deadline, and are now and still feeling that pain. The deficiency of the Bullpen especially will be felt in the post season. If Sonny Gray loses his feel for the strike zone, like he did on Monday, Rocco can’t afford to ride-out 4 exhausting innings on sliders in the dirt and passed balls then go to Headrick and Floro to mop up and just give a game away. the bullpen is very shallow and depending on starters to become relievers is a hell of a gamble
  12. If the Twins DFA him, I believe he would get an MLB 1 year minimum make-good deal by Oakland, KC or CWS. His ‘22 was good enough for one of the cellar dwellers to take a flier on him.
  13. Leper, pariah, villain, sinner, saint, savior, how can one human be all of those things in one baseball season me, eating crow
  14. https://www.mlb.com/twins/video/gavin-williams-called-strike-to-ryan-jeffers-aniif6?t=stolen-bases He’s had a surprisingly good season. This probably says more about the Twins than it does about Castro, but it’s fun
