    Still a great post:
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    awesome. Thank you!

    All fair points, I think it's just so predictable. Instead of signing the best FA out there, or making an intriguing trade, or developing your own relievers, go out and sign an old journeyman for close to minimum. Predictable and typical. That said, I am beginning to like this signing a little more. There is nothing preventing a trade and we actually have a few young guys now who have shown MLB success and might develop into something (different from how we projected Burdi and Chargois). Rodney's work is a high wire act though. It might work, but it will be adventurous.

    I was not aware of that. ..... which probably means he's shooting the arrow to heaven.... so i guess never mind any personal criticisms of him I posted
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm with you. Close call, but I would prefer Cole to Darvish in this situation. Gordon is a tough guy to part with, but Granite and Jay are not hard to replace. Also, making a deal for both Cole and Darvish is not against the rules.

    I honestly feel like something big is going to happen.... (it almost has to)
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    that's the arbitrary number i picked too lol

    i have to back up the opinion of the other poster. Castro's 720 OPS seems ok but it's context neutral and also below average for catchers in 2017 (or at least below median for catchers with a high number of plate appearances) When at bats mattered, Castro was terrible. Especially as the season wore on. Maybe he will do better in 2018.
  9. Hosken Bombo Disco
    It's starting to feel like this is going to happen. Would be great if it did, or, one of the other big targets would be good too, but Darvish would be ideal.

    To get an idea of Rodney's market value, I looked at Kintzler's contract, and Kintzler signed for twice as much, twice as long, to carry a lighter load.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree. I've been excited about their coaching and executive hires and other things, but they need pitchers. Good ones. Josh Kalk is not permitted to actually go out and throw the pitches for these guys.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Really hard to follow the timeline in the original post
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    You'll find a lot more uncritical praise than unwarranted criticism here with this move!
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Call me a skeptic. Maybe Pineda can come out of the pen late in 2018. He throws hard but been mediocre as a starter.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Teh Google said Pineda just had TJS in 2017?
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I'm thinking the Shelby non-endorsement made the difference. Didn't see that coming and good on him for putting himself above party.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Ok, so can we agree Archer >>>> Gonsalves?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Nice to see you show Sano some respect, finally. However, you could argue that the above-average dependability of Longoria is preferable to the unpredictability and highs and lows of having Sano around, much as I'm in his corner and hope he gets straightened out.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Archer and Longoria for Gonsalves and Sano. Who says no? (Besides Tampa, of course)
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Gordon is near-MLB ready and plays a premium position. Very agonizing to part with a guy like that!
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Wow, rumor of a solid proposal. I would do that trade.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    My guess is the House is setting prices to take advantage of casual bettors placing token offseason bets. Probabilities should add up to about 100 + juice but in the Twins case I think 75:1 is a great price, especially if they add a good starter. I see the new Pitch to Contact guys in Detroit aren't getting much love
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    no pocket and no time to look, is my guess
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Vikings showed fight, but Carolina dominated as the game wore on. I'd be really wary meeting Carolina in the playoffs, even at home coming off the bye (which is no lock anymore).
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Speaking of the 5% percent Fangraphs probability, it's possible to go back and look at what the probability was on a daily basis, instead of just assuming it was a constant number for the whole period leading up to the deadline. Not sure how that number is calculated, nor much interested in it, but I will assume it was dependent on whether the Twins won or lost that day.
