    This. Second base is the position I am least worried about, in terms of depth.

    It’s Spring! Mitts are popping’, everyone is in the best shape of their life! World Series or Bust!

    I voted yes because I have a bad memory and then read the comments and regretted my vote

    Ninja’d while I was looking for a gif of the Constanza-Seinfeld bit of Jerry giving George Super Bowl tickets and George responds with “You GAVE ME A BILL Jerry!”
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yes

    when your username is "I wish the Twins Were Good", it's really hard to take your posts as remotely objective. - FWIW I agree w/ Dan Hayes entirely. Pitchers work on specific pitches in spring training, he could have thrown the same exact pitch 20 times in a row.

    Diamond Sports is a subsidiary of Sinclair and owns Bally Sports. Diamond Baseball is owned by Silver Lake Technology and already owns 13 other minor league baseball teams. they appear unrelated.

    That would be expensive if you were wild… look at all that candy
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, but only if it’s a massive bargain like that. Relievers shine really bright and burn out fast. The Twins already have him locked up through age 29 season where velocity and K rate start to (on average) drop precipitously.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    In retrospect, a 28 or 29 year old obliterating baseballs in the equivalent of AA with a very high K rate probably doesn’t translate to obliterating baseballs in MLB. If he was 22 or 23, I can’t imagine the posting fee and salary… Park was fairly cheap at 24 million total.

    The way I read it was “he had some knee discomfort during the season, slipped on the ice during mega-storm Uri, then showed up to camp when it was diagnosed”. his first tear didn’t have a smoking gun. im with you on the concern after the second tear. It should be a slow and concerted effort to return to baseball activities to make sure it heals well.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    He slipped on the ice in Texas even more context…

    Do you know for a fact the Miguel Sano tried out for the Dominican team and was cut? Do you know for a fact that Miguel Sano thinks he doesn’t have to work for his place in life or professional baseball? site published sources. While I care a lot about fans opinions, stating them as facts doesn’t fly.

    Go Huskies!
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    There are opposing team’s fans here all the time
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    I hope to never fall off the Human Being Bandwagon.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    criteria copied from the article: Always drunk fan Always negative fan The fan who never stops yelling Bandwagon fan The know-it-all fan The condescending fan The fan who never sits down Obsessed with fantasy fan The fan who pretends to like sports but doesn’t The fan stuck living in the glory years Are we sure that Twins fans should be ranked as sparkly as they are…. I think we all do these very frequently :)
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    I love your optimism. I don’t share it on Gallo, but hope you are right. I think we’ll be cursing his futile whiffs and .199 batting average, 15 home runs…. But as I said, I hope you are right.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Predictions for an entire team formulated from one inning each by two different pitchers from a very early spring training game? Confirmation of what?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, best of luck to Martin that it is a mild sprain and he rests/recovers his way back to the diamond quickly!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    There are so many bullets left in the magazine for all/any of us. Especially with athletes, their prime only lasts so long. Every pitch could be the last for any pitcher. Every swing of the bat could be the last for any hitter. No guarantees in life
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Indeed, injury bug has already set in. Hopefully just getting that out of the way
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    I appreciate your thoughtful response. I believe the HOF discussion should be reflected against peers/era. Chuck Knoblauch v. Tony Oliva isn’t an apples to apples comp. That being said, your question has merit if Knobby might be under rated a bit. good discussion topic. I always enjoy the stat debates. It’s fun to learn about the context of the calculations
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    @Flyover Steve are you trying to poke holes in WAR as a stat to judge players? If so, why? What’s wrong with the stat? Which WAR? Is it being used incorrectly, or are you applying value to it, not commonly used? as I know it, WAR isn’t a criteria to win a batting title, batting average is. WAR might be used by the BWAA voters, but it’s in context of full career or season-long achievements (depending on which accolade we’re talking about) us rubes throw WAR around a lot. It’s one of the most comprehensive and accessible stats. Accessibility is key, because we don’t have the resources that websites, publications and MLB FOs have to crunch the numbers and educate other rubes why our stat is better than the ones they have access to.
