    Infield defense is not great but Twins pitchers are worst in the AL in home runs allowed and line drive % Also, rotation thread.

    Not trying to squash anyone's arguments here, because I think fielding percentage is important, but using it to evaluate defense is probably something like using batting average to evaluate offense, in my opinion. It gives you a general idea. A player got a lot of hits and hits are good. It won't tell you if a player got off to a cold start, like how Mauer was hitting below .300 in June 2006 and then a month later was at .392 or how Dozier got off to such a cold start this season. Average won't tell you how much speed or power a guy has. It won't tell you a player's injury history. It won't tell you how old he is. Also, to summon Moneyball, it won't even tell you his OBP necessarily. Fielding percentage gets a chair at the table for sure, but that's about it. Not the head chair by any stretch. IMO.

    We get it. You hate Polanco and Sano. What's your solution?
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Perhaps tongue in cheek, perhaps not, but I give you credit for offering an alternative plan!
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Right. Fangraphs is free and on the open web so I used that. I think it still has a pretty good reputation.

    I also am willing to keep the Polanco-SS experiment going into next year. No team has the luxury of waiting around for 3 full seasons of data to be collected before making a decision. Until Statcast is made for public use, Fangraphs is the best we got. I disagree that a Polanco-Sano left side would have poor range. Polanco has shown range on a few plays and Sano's range grades out really well. Assuming Plouffe is not around, I think a left side with those two would play right around average or slightly below over a long stretch, with its good moments and not so good moments. I think Dozier can continue at second just fine and we are good at first base. It's a myth that only Twins players make errors, though you'd never think that from reading the game threads. Infield, like the outfield, seems ok to me. It will be interesting to see who is calling the shots, and what they make of this.

    Nice article. There also looks like a slight wrist tuck to compensate for the finger.

    Cynicism! Yah in general, I think I need to lay low for a few days and let myself get through this. Consider it a mild case of pneumonia or something.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agree. And I will add he has a real chance of beating out Byung Ho Park for the first base job at Rochester next season.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe Duffey is the worst pitcher ever, but I just can't blame any of the pitchers anymore for anything. None of them. Maybe Centeno calls better games within the pitch to contact framework we still live by. I don't know.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Twins pitchers Attacking the Strike Zone since 1995 How can an opposing team's hitters possibly prepare against such a pitching approach?
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Got done. (of course it's now coming undone again but whatever)
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    41 in the books!
