    We have seen Jhoan Duran perform a LOT better than this.

    I would keep Farmer in the minors for the maximum 20 days of his rehab or until someone else needs to go on the injured list. Lee is playing good defense and his bat will develop faster in the majors than against bad AAA pitching.

    No club can field an all-veteran team for $120M. You'd better get used to rooting for new players.
  4. DJL44
    I don't think it's likely they will be able to get a cheap #2 starter for a good utility infielder with one year of control remaining.
  5. DJL44
    Like the article stated an arbitration award of $6M is likely. $12M is Jeff McNeil / Nico Hoerner money so I guess that's possible for his free agent seasons. That would make a 3 year / $30M contract fair but still tradeable if one of the minor leaguers improves and they want to deal him later.

    If Castro is "stealing" playing time from Julien and Keaschall then Buxton is stealing playing time from Keirsey, Correa is stealing playing time from Diego Castillo and Joe Ryan is stealing playing time from Randy Dobnak.

    I buy this. I don't think the best players are necessarily getting that much better. It's the worst pitchers and hitters that are better than what we saw previously. The standard deviation in talent is smaller today than it was then. Considering the amount of talent available, we are long overdue for expansion. Defense is another story. With fewer balls in play, grass fields and less foul territory we are seeing players selected more for offense than for defense. Mark Belanger doesn't get playing time in 2024.

    I hope that the players are taking the off day to keep up on their conditioning and strength training. That was something overlooked during the 1980s.
  9. DJL44
    With 20/20 hindsight they should have traded BOTH Polanco and Julien and given the job to Willi Castro.

    There was a week-long break for the All-Star Game not even a month ago. I understand the need for recovery but total innings pitched is a bad way to measure fatigue.

    The 25 Best Undrafted MLB Free Agents Of All Time (baseballamerica.com) I don't have a Baseball America subscription but this is a good place to start.
  12. DJL44
    People always throw out Nolan Ryan but seem to forget about the hundreds of other careers ended early. One guy survived that kind of workload. What does that tell you?
  13. DJL44
    Many pitchers do worse pitching from the stretch than they do from the windup. In that case it isn't mental, it's mechanical.
  14. DJL44
    Player 2024 OPS+ career OPS+ Lewis 182 160 Witt 165 125 I'm not convinced Witt is better than Royce Lewis at hitting.

    Every morning the sun rises and Twins Daily posts another article about Randy Dobnak.
  16. DJL44
    Topa has a knee injury (25% tear of the left patellar tendon) which could explain both the reduced fastball velocity and the different action on the breaking ball. If he backs off at all to favor his plant leg then his arm action is going to be mechanically different.
  17. DJL44
    Witt is better at fielding, throwing, running and staying healthy but I'm not convinced he is better at hitting.
  18. DJL44
    Ronny Henriquez is still young and improving. He might end up working out.
  19. DJL44
    Royce Lewis just hit his 30th home run in his 103rd game played. That's a 47 HR pace in a 162 game season.
  20. DJL44
    Are we just assuming that Paddack is done for the season?
  21. DJL44
    I will point out that $700k is minimum wage in MLB.
  22. DJL44
    Gladden and Atteberry said to expect him to go on a minor league rehab assignment this week.
  23. DJL44
    Dobnak has all 3 options according to Fangraphs. They need the 40 man spot to bring Topa back.
  24. DJL44
    I would be trying to beat the Cubs. Worry about today's game. Setting the rotation is for the playoffs.
  25. DJL44
    The Twins are hoping someone grabs him when he is passed through waivers.
