    Duran threw 30 the previous day. They can't use him for multiple innings every game.
  2. DJL44
    Blewett vs Tonkin is rearranging deck chairs while the Titanic sinks.
  3. DJL44
    Sam Deduno had great stuff.
  4. DJL44
    I don't see any upside sending Eeles to the AFL to beat up on A-ball pitching again. Fall instructs, yes.
  5. DJL44
    Henriquez has pitched a lot better than Varland this season.
  6. DJL44
    If they're moving players it isn't quite as drastic. They move outfielders around the outfield, corner infielders between 1B and 3B and up the middle infielders between 2B, SS and 3B. Those positions require a lot of the same fundamentals. It is hard to be good at both SS and CF (for example) because there is only so much time in the day to practice each position and you're competing against players who only play SS or only play CF.

    Buxton's cortisone shot and Correa's plasma rich platelet injection fit that description.

    I think we already have selected for elite hand-eye-coordination and reaction time among hitters. Visual-motor response time isn't going to get any faster.
  9. DJL44
    They already have that guy - Willi Castro. Jurickson Profar also fits the profile.
  10. DJL44
    When computing WARP lost to injuries they should subtract Buxton from the Twins estimate. He's played MORE games than expected this season.
  11. DJL44
    Boston is out of the race but they could still be a spoiler
  12. DJL44
    Jovani Moran should be back again.
  13. DJL44
    Players don't do that anymore because the worst players are better now than they were 40 years ago. That means the dropoff in performance is nearly zero when comparing an injured starter to a healthy AAA backup. If you're comparing to 30 years ago, those players were able to recover faster and stay on the field more because most of them were taking PEDs.
  14. DJL44
    Eeles will get a shot if he keeps up this level of performance. It may take a while since 2B and LF are the only positions he can play and he's competing with Austin Martin for playing time at those spots.
  15. DJL44
    Agreed. Great job by Matthews shutting down one of the best teams in baseball.
  16. DJL44
    Santander. That guy is Anthony Santander.
  17. DJL44
    Apparently you didn't notice that meant he was getting worse every season. Santana is starting from an OPS of .760 this season. Drop 50 points off that and he's not worth starting. Drop 100 points off that and he should probably be cut from the roster. The Twins have received Santana's best season in 5 years. Do you think they can do that twice in a row? It's a lot more likely he gives them a season like he had in 2021.
  18. DJL44
    Are you talking about the same Alex Kirilloff who can't get healthy enough to play baseball? He's behind Severino on the depth chart.
  19. DJL44
    So you think he should be the closer? He hasn't earned that.
  20. DJL44
    He's also going to be 39. Odds are more likely than not that Carlos Santana won't be as good next season. It's likely that Santana will be less dynamic, clutch and worse at fielding.
  21. DJL44
    Lewis and Miranda are both corner infielders. Julien has the physical tools to play 1B and is stretched anywhere else. Kirilloff might even get another chance. I expect the 2025 infield to be Correa, Lewis, Miranda, Julien, Castro and Lee. It is more likely they add to the outfield than to the infield.
  22. DJL44
    I could easily see the Twins missing the playoffs and using that as an excuse to tear down and rebuild, especially if they get new leadership in the front office.
  23. DJL44
    I am not aware of any product surveys.
  24. DJL44
    I think Paddack would get taken on waivers. 1 year, $7.5M isn't that much for most teams.
  25. DJL44
    Maybe, but missing an entire season with injury can't help his arbitration case. I can't see him getting above $2M which is almost nothing for a major leaguer.
