  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. Many pitchers do worse pitching from the stretch than they do from the windup. In that case it isn't mental, it's mechanical.
  4. Player 2024 OPS+ career OPS+ Lewis 182 160 Witt 165 125 I'm not convinced Witt is better than Royce Lewis at hitting.
  5. Every morning the sun rises and Twins Daily posts another article about Randy Dobnak.
  6. 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.
  7. Witt is better at fielding, throwing, running and staying healthy but I'm not convinced he is better at hitting.
  8. Ronny Henriquez is still young and improving. He might end up working out.
  9. Royce Lewis just hit his 30th home run in his 103rd game played. That's a 47 HR pace in a 162 game season.
  10. Gladden and Atteberry said to expect him to go on a minor league rehab assignment this week.
  11. Dobnak has all 3 options according to Fangraphs. They need the 40 man spot to bring Topa back.
  12. I would be trying to beat the Cubs. Worry about today's game. Setting the rotation is for the playoffs.
  13. They can send Dobnak down any time they want a different pitcher. Varland on Friday is likely.
  14. His height helps him get on base but probably limits him defensively to LF/2B.
  15. I guarantee they won't see Crochet or Skubal in the playoffs. We should all be thrilled if they have to match up with Chris Sale.
  16. Varland has pitched in 8 games of relief, which is not nearly large enough sample size to draw any conclusions.
  17. All 3 are out of options. Thielbar and Okert are there to matchup with lefthanded batters and they're probably better than Varland at that. They didn't trade for Richards to cut him a week later. I suppose they could option Topa and put Varland in the bullpen.
  18. It's hard to figure out what you have with a young pitcher who is likely to improve further but he didn't give up a lot of HR in the minors (0.7 per 9 innings).
