  1. Who is passing judgement? Byron Buxton struggled in his first major league games. So did many, many other successful players. Rookies who come up and perform immediately are the exception.
  2. It should not surprise anyone. A rookie struggling in their first major league games is the most likely scenario.
  3. Unfortunately “pretty good” leaves them out of the playoffs. They need excellent starting pitching if they want to win 15 of the next 21 games.
  4. Since a 5.40 ERA is average, here are some pitchers having a decent season in the minors. Merit Jones 3.90 Riley Quick 4.21 Eric Orze 2.25 Julian Merryweather 3.91 Cole Peschl 3.94 Ty Langenberg 4.12 Justin Mitrovich 3.23
  5. We are going to get 16 playoff teams in a 32 team league. Expanded playoffs make money. We might see a 150 game schedule to squeeze in that first playoff round.
  6. Kansas City moves south. MLB will want the possibility of 2 division winners in NY, LA, Texas and Chicago.
  7. If the expansion teams are San Antonio, Charlotte or Nashville we would see either Arizona or Colorado in the American League West
  8. It is important to adjust for the inflated run scoring environment in the minor leagues when evaluating hitters and pitchers. MiLB teams are scoring one run per game more than MLB teams (5.4 runs per team vs 4.5 runs per team in MLB). That’s 20% more offense.
  9. We will get eight 4-team divisions instead.
  10. 2027 is quite unlikely. The Twins would need to be contending and in desperate need of a catcher. 2028 could happen.
  11. It is getting crowded in the outfield in AAA.
  12. MLB catchers are selected for pop time. If you can’t control the running game, you move positions before you make MLB.
  13. He’s probably more useful than Gabriel Gonzalez. Is Austin Martin going to come back in September?
  14. The winners will most certainly be the locations that have the best public stadium funding, from a short list of cities selected by television partners. Austin / San Antonio, Portland, Nashville, Charlotte, Montreal and Salt Lake City will all get asked to bid. Texas and North Carolina are likely to create the best public funding package. Portland and Oakland look like great cities for AAA teams.
  15. They need him back and healthy to showcase him for offseason trades
