  1. Agreed. Bad teams should play high variable players. I am guessing Japan or Rochester for Vargas. For your sanity, y'all might want to take a deep breath on Rooker. I like him, but he's not a sure thing imo.
  2. The Twins worked with him for at least two years on using his 4 seam more and why he should use his 4 seam more (spin rate & spin AXIS). Great. Welcome back. It's kind of hard to tell that from the article, thanks for the inside knowledge. Hope all is well with you and yours.
  3. Spotify checks all the boxes the Oracle of Omaha would tell us to check.... So probably.
  4. If he is great again, I predict three years at fifteen a year.
  5. This article is fascinating and depressing... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-data-transformed-the-angels-rule-5-pick/
  6. The app is very good. The writing is good. But, the Twins' writer is basically just another beat writer. The stories are good, bit I can't imagine getting anything other than pro, company line, articles from him. I like his style, but it won't be all that objective.
  7. They aren't cutting commercials.
  8. I was mostly talking about Odorizzi.... But I bet Gomez is better than Dickerson this year. Heck, whomever they have in their system might be better. Most of the guys they got rid of are ok players. Same with Souza,I bet Span is as good or better. I don't know if they have two guys in the minors better than both of the guys they lost. But they didn't get rid of any really good players, got prospects, and until Honeywell was hurt, were projected to win more games than the Twins.
  9. No surprise at all. Good luck to him, I hope he goes the jackpot!
  10. you are completely ignoring that some of those players had guys behind them that might be better....
  11. the Rays aren't rebuilding. They were projected for more wins than the Twins by most systems. They dealt some old guys, and guys they had replacements for, and those replacements are likely better. Now, losing the top pitching prospect in the game hurts that....
  12. Didn't they offer more money than Texas last year, but get spurned? That's my recollection, though I could be wrong.
  13. You think Bryant of the cubs was held down because he wasn't ready, not for control purposes? This happens every year, at the beginning of the year. I doubt Berrios was miraculously ready last year.... After a couple stats.
  14. Why do they need post season experience? Isn't having good players more important? It is in my book.
  15. I would be disappointed. One has a future as a good or decent backup. One is past his prime.
  16. Players need rest. Grossman is not a good fielder. He's an ok hitter. I guess it depends on if you want defense or not on the days you rest a starter.
  17. The league is getting younger. It seems teams agree.
  18. I think the approach change is real, I just think expecting thirty home runs as a baseline is optimistic. Good signing, at a good price....
  19. Because batting average is only one measure? Because he's getting older? Because he won't be inexpensive?
  20. Should? I'll take the under. Not a bad signing, but expecting 30 plus bombs?
  21. Preferred Gomez, as he can play an actual position. Gonna be hard to play Sano at DH at all now. Hopefully he won't ever need rest. I don't know what to expect of LoMo, hope he's very good
  22. I don't know why we would count Garver as a AAA player, or Granite. I already acknowledged I missed Wade. But the others? Are we just going to assume everyone is going to work out now?
  23. He hasn't been good at defense in a long time. No idea why that was stressed....
  24. What ? Literally have no idea what the class has to do with the failed strategy of drafting relief pitchers over a few years. Help me out. I am not the first to post this in this thread either.
