    Scratch Urshela - he's way slower than I imagined. Kepler's my #9 hitter. Statcast Sprint Speed Leaderboard | baseballsavant.com (mlb.com)

    Buxton, Polanco, Correa is my top 3. I agree with your top 3 - and in that order. I don't like Jeffers batting 9th ahead of Buxton. Too Slow. I'd put Kepler, Miranda or Urshela there and whoever is catching at #8.

    Use pitchers while they're healthy and effective. Wait too long and they'll be injured and ineffective.

    2007 - Mauer and Santana

    I vote we just put a new head on the Calvin Griffith statue.
  6. DJL44
    There are many places in town he could be incognito even if he was wearing the #4 Correa jersey.

    Or, maybe next time use an idiom people are familiar with.

    Good analysis. You have to believe an awful lot in the framing metrics to think he's awful. RField has him below average, but not awful, most of his career though last season was by far his worst behind the plate. I personally don't think the framing metrics are comparing things on the correct scale. I'm not a believer in a single ball/strike decision getting a run value assigned to it.

    In December I was certain Miguel Sano should be moved to DH full time. After the roster moves I'm still certain of that.

    You can transfer players to the 60 day DL the first day of training camp.

    I keep wondering what it would cost to grab Dinelson Lamet out of the Padres bullpen.
  12. DJL44
    I'm thinking Bailey Ober would be a good fit as one of those young arms. I don't think he's ever going to be more than a #3/4 starter but he's cheap and proven. I'm ready to sell high on him. Arraez, Ober and two prospects in the #20-30 range.
  13. DJL44
    For Fangraphs pay more attention to the "FV" rating. There are usually a dozen players with a "40" future value.
  14. DJL44
    He's from Wisconsin.
  15. DJL44
    In a month he'll be everyone's favorite player and people will cry if he's traded.
  16. DJL44
    Raya definitely "failed up". Compare to Enlow - at least Enlow had some success on the field before the injury.
  17. DJL44
    The Twins payroll got smaller. That was the goal. They wanted to have roughly the same team, but cheaper. The trade with the Yankees had nothing to do with improving the roster.
  18. DJL44
    I already bet on Garver (I said he was a little better). I assume you're taking Sanchez?
  19. DJL44
    Garver is better per inning but when you take into account playing time the gap narrows. Sanchez has played 88 games more than Garver over the last 3 years.
  20. DJL44
    I don't think Urshela is going to be worse than Donaldson the next 2 years. He's either an adequate stopgap at SS (better than moving Polanco back) or he's an average 3B. Donaldson's days as a plus defender at 3B are over. If they acquire a shortstop then Luis Arraez is still not a starter in this infield and Jose Miranda is waiting for playing time. They're worse at C mainly because they now have no depth at all. Garver isn't that much better than Sanchez. They can find a catch-and-throw guy for depth at catcher.
  21. DJL44
    The "have nots" are making a lot of money while the "haves" compete for championships.
  22. DJL44
    I am wondering just how much the Padres would pay to get rid of Wil Myers. They're up against the luxury tax and need to move Myers or Hosmer (yuck) to finish off their roster.
  23. DJL44
    Sanchez and Urshela are now the two oldest position players on the roster. This team got a lot younger. Baldelli is going to be the oldest guy in the dugout now.
  24. DJL44
    Move this much salary and they'd better be signing Correa
  25. DJL44
    I don't understand this one at all. I had considered grabbing Urshela and Sanchez since I was pretty sure the Yankees didn't want them on the roster but figured the Yankees would be giving up prospects to the Twins to make it happen. The Twins have no reason to dump salary. Their payroll is low. This is like a Mariners trade where Jerry DiPoto is just moving players to feel like he's in charge.
