    Larnach is having trouble getting the barrel on the ball. He seems to be taking good at-bats but doesn't connect with pitches he should be able to drive.
  3. DJL44
    Absolutely

    I watched Woods-Richardson pitching thanks to the televised Saints game. He missed over the middle of the plate too often and was bailed out by AAA hitters. His stuff was decent but he had trouble hitting spots. His delivery is very over-the-top and I wonder if he has trouble repeating it. With his velocity he has to be able to hit spots to be effective.

    Isn't healthy and mediocre exactly what you want from a backup?
  7. DJL44
    I do think one consequence of picking up Polanco's option could be losing Nick Gordon from the roster. I don't see room for all of Polanco, Farmer, Castro and Gordon as utility players.

    Correa has been very good in August -.830 OPS
  9. DJL44
    You're right. I looked at the photos and thought it was Brock Stewart
  10. DJL44
    So you'd rather have the more expensive player because he's more likely to be injured and miss games? That's some convoluted reasoning.
  11. DJL44
    Buxton makes $15M next season. Polanco would make $10.5M
  12. DJL44
    Those games are called losses.

    Similar signings last offseason Jean Segura 2 years $17M (underperforming) Brandon Drury 2 years $17M (meets expectations) Aledmys Diaz 2 years $14.5M (underperforming) Matt Carpenter 2 years $12M (underperforming) Jace Peterson 2 years $9.5M (meets expectations) Adam Frazier 1 year $8M (meets expectations) Wil Myers 1 year $7.5M (underperforming) Jeimer Candelario 1 year $5M (OVERperforming) Evan Longoria 1 year $4M (meet expectations) Elvis Andrus 1 year $3M (underperforming) Donovan Solano 1 year $2M (OVERperforming) Josh Harrison 1 year $2M (underperforming) Willi Castro 1 year $1.8M (OVERperforming)

    Adding on. I looked at his game logs and he didn't pitch for 5 days in a row in August. Fatigue should not be the issue.
  15. DJL44
    Castro has been far more valuable than Polanco this season. Baseball Reference has Castro as the #1 Twins position player. I agree that Polanco could effectively replace Solano but is that worth $10.5M?
  16. DJL44
    A guy who has thrown almost 47 innings this season is overworked? No. How low do you want his workload to be?
  17. DJL44
    They are paranoid about having depth.
  18. DJL44
    My guess for infielders on the 40 man roster this offseason: Correa, Lewis, Kirilloff, Julien, Willi Castro, Farmer, Gordon, Miranda, Martin, Severino. Does Polanco add $10.5M worth of value as the 11th infielder when his banged up body will give you 80-100 games maximum?
  19. DJL44
    Yes, because the young guys they were counting on the fill bullpen spots have pretty much all failed.
  20. DJL44
    I think Polanco has been the player pushing to play a utility role. It's a smart move for him, that's how he'll get his next contract.
  21. DJL44
    Farmer is the better defender and he's actually available to play most days. He's also a good short side of a 2B platoon with Julien.
  22. DJL44
    He's not worth $10.5M, there are always similar options available in free agency for less. The Twins are only paying Solano $2M, for example. I wouldn't mind if the Twins bring Polanco back but they should definitely decline his option.
  23. DJL44
    The "Twins guy" has a .642 OPS in AAA. Lee is AHEAD of almost every other player in the draft. You can't act like the Twins are moving him too slowly.
  24. DJL44
    A non-contender should be willing to shed some salary to pick up a guy who might be good next season. I don't know why Brent Suter is still on the Rockies roster, for example.
  25. DJL44
    I would trade any of Henriquez, Sands, Balazovic, Moran, Ortega, Winder for an average veteran reliever. There are only so many roster spots a team can afford to dedicate to "they might be a good reliever someday".
