    Me too, but from what I've gathered by glancing at a few pitchers coming off of a second Tommy John, pitchers can be expected to lose one and a half to three miles per hour off their heaters. Paddack was at 93.0 mph in 2022 according to his Baseball Savant page, so what we can hope for later in 2023 is about 91.0mph. I saw a small increase in whiff rate on that page, but I don't know if that accounts for small sample size or platoon splits evening out. Depends on what kind of data you like to look at, how deep you want to go, and how deep your pockets are... Here is that sign-up again: Become a Twins Daily Caretaker Me personally, this feels more like Dobnak than Pineda (yay?), but I reserve the right to be wrong, and maybe Parker has other ideas in his article. By the way, the good news is that surgeons are getting better and better and pitchers are more likely to recover from this second surgery than in the past. (Walker Buehler is having his second Tommy John too). I'm confident Paddack will come back and like others have said, he's going to need to learn the art of pitching more than relying on raw ability. That could be a good thing.

    This Tweet gives helpful context, thanks @PseudoSABR I wonder if Hayes meant 502 PA in the furthest out years, and not 502 AB. I’m glad to see that that seventh year requires him to get to 575. There was a time when 502 PA (110-120 games) meant you were missing a lot of time, not playing most of the time. And the additional team option on top of that, whatever it is, is good to know. I’m thinking they structured the Correa deal to mean he will be here six years and not a day longer. Now hopefully Correa stays on the field most of that time.

    I think the question answers itself. They didn’t think Correa was worth 6/200.

    Hi John, The reaggravation happened in September. This reads like editorializing that contradicts reporting by Dan Hayes: Even though the Twins performed an exit exam on Correa in October, those are often limited to areas of concern that arose during a player’s regular-season visits to the trainer’s room. Aside from an incident in May when Correa thought he broke his finger, team sources indicated the shortstop never set foot in the trainer’s room, not even after he writhed in pain on the ground after a hard slide into second base in a Sept. 20 contest at Kansas City. After that game, Correa acknowledged he had a metal plate inserted in his right leg, the result of an injury that occurred when he was in the minor leagues in 2014. “He just hit my plate,” Correa said, referring to the hardware in his leg. “I had surgery and he hit it. Just kind of felt numb. Vibrating. So I was just waiting for it to calm down. It was a little scary, but when I moved I knew I was good.”

    Welcome, friend!! I agree with you about the pitching.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    If Correa does eventually sign with The Fellowship, I imagine manager Gandalf will let Correa wear the ring every time he reaches base. His stolen base numbers should go through the roof!

    I hope the C4 chatter becomes C-ya-later chatter ?
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Happy for the guy. Now let's see if they over-use him on back to back days...

    This passage is key. Thanks, Nick. I don’t have the time to catch up on the other threads, but I’ve glanced through, and seen the “Giants got cold feet” argument made. I don’t buy it. Boras doesn’t move on that fast and leave that money on the table if there’s nothing there. Your suggestion that it’s the ankle makes a lot of sense.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Will be interesting to see, but my guess is that the new Mets people don’t care what his medical records say.
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Is this supposed to be a rebuttal to the opinion that the Gallo signing makes no sense? Heh.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    No but we’ve seen guys practice and get better.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We have heard “don’t trade Kepler when his value is at a low point” plenty of times in the last 18 months. Now as of today, with the Gallo signing, we have two starting right fielders. So, yeah. Follow up: so on double checking, it looks like Gallo has played a lot of left, too. At bats taken away from younger players? Or “you can never have too many good players”? I agree with you @Sherry Cerny that dealings Urshela was a huge disappointment, for the reasons you stated.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So our shortstop will be a concept called Best Efforts. Can I just shorten it to ‘E’ in the scorebook when a ground ball is hit there?
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Dodged a bullet, though not for lack of trying. Lewis or Lee will be putting up fairly comparable numbers in a few years.

    “his UCL is only 60% torn. You promised us it was 75% torn! @!#%”
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    and rename the infield Dior Diamond!
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Easy peasy, right?
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Signing Correa to one-year options made sense last year. Correa is very good but I have performance questions about his time in Houston, and am worried he would be a candidate to really fall off at some point. We should give him the benefit of the doubt for his injuries, but there is a history there. Signing him to a lifetime deal makes me really uneasy. What happens to Lewis and Lee then? What am I missing?

    Don’t forget to select “Auto-renewal” on those podcasts, doc, cuz after about a week you’re gonna forget you ever subscribed, theyre gonna keep pushing you the product anyway, and you don’t want those nasty umpires sending you to collections after 6 months plus 90 days ?
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    There are some nice suggestions in this article, but at this point, even Tommy Herr would be the first to tell you that only God can help this Twins team!

    I wonder if the Reds would have considered trading Castillo last winter for a package of Petty, Steer, and the other prospects we sent off at the deadline. Or throw in Rogers, since they seemed set on trading him, or throw in a Varland/Ober/Wallner since those guys are the new heartthrobs. And then the extension Castillo signed with the Mariners was in the ballpark of the Berrios and Wheeler contracts. From my point of view, the Twins usually pass when there are chances to get guys better than Gray.

    Brian Allmendinger's Ford Fiesta was parked next to Jim Anchower's Ford Festiva. That was not a cigarette he was smoking out there, to be blunt with you.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pressly have worked back to back days, so I imagine he is shelved for the rest of the ALCS ?

    I am glad you see the value of catching lightning in a bottle for one magical season, especially in this market, would elevate them to the status of Gods forever. Wrongly, in my opinion, but whatever. It would be a fun ride. I think where the front office needs to place their faith is in their very first real success story, drafting Royce Lewis as their future shortstop. and best case scenario, a potential star. That was the original long term plan, so if I were advising them, I would say their best bet is to go back to that plan. But if this front office is anything, it’s unpredictable.
