    MadBum has a higher wRC+ in three of the last 4 years than Mauer (counting this year).....

    I know it is full of snark, but it is actually a great stat. What we choose to measure, and how we measure it, should be done to help us improve who/what we do. Saves incent bad behavior, imo.

    Reading this on 538, makes me want Duffey to be Gossage: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/goose-egg-new-save-stat-relief-pitchers/ So, multiple innings, but in a different way.

    How do you feel about the actual topic of the thread?
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's hard to see how they would make a change this fast. Wasn't there a rainout that messed up the schedule recently?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing he gets 3-4 more starts if they are like this. But, this was my fear....not good enough to win, not so bad that he has to be cut.

    Two Twins are noted here: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-417-and-418/ Wells and Palka.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Wells is mentioned here (as is Palka): http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-417-and-418/

    I expected that, which is also kind of frustrating, that he's down there, not in MN. Not that I know who he should replace right now, yet.

    I think my view is also tinged by the minors, with Gonsalves hurt and Stewart's start not being stellar. Gibson is the "young" guy I'm most down about (outside Buxton, obviously). I had my hopes up this year. I did pick Mejia as RoY of the year for the Twins, I still think he's a legit #5/4 type. That's nice, and you need those, but you aren't winning any playoff series that way.

    Great stuff! Good luck to both of them, it's great to have dreams.

    I doubt you could pay me to watch Sandler at this point.

    It's over 500 ABs...

    Good point on Polanco. I keep mentioning him in other threads, but didn't here. Ooops. I have less confidence in Rosario's process changes working for him. And, I see no future parts of the rotation or bullpen right now.
  15. Mike Sixel
    that's a fair stance. I don't agree with their conclusion that DanSan is a viable MLB player, but I guess if I squint I can see how what you say is true. I'd prefer Grossman play the OF when they rest a player (given the roster). I'd actually like a veteran out there, that can help with the mental aspects of playing the OF. I'd like Buxton to get thru June, but if he's hitting like this that long, I'd like him in AAA, I guess. And he doesn't come up until the process looks the same every pitch.
  16. Mike Sixel
    People want him to be great. He is the exact opposite. Even guys like KLAW, who preach patience are saying it is time to worry.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't care all that much about the record, I care about the next few years. While the start is nice, it is not based on Buxton, Rosario, young starters, or young relievers. Imo, this is not sustainable, nor indicative of good things to come for enough players. Sano can't carry the whole youth movement with just Kepler to help.
  18. Mike Sixel
    This. If you have young players, and your backup plan is Danny Santana playing forty percent of the time, the backup plan is bad. You can play the young players, and have a backup. Those are not contrary opinions.
  19. Mike Sixel
    JDL is in Tampa, alas. But, hey, they have Dozier...
  20. Mike Sixel
    Once again, four years in a row, our favorite team has no backup plan for terrible OF play. Once again, it bites them in the butt. Will this team ever learn?
  21. Mike Sixel
    WTF is he doing pinch running? Ugh
  22. Mike Sixel
    People really think they should hold onto Santana and Dozier? Because they can realistically contend?

    stone tablet of jokes....

    National bat appreciation day. I love bats. Such a cool mammal. it's also Haiku day, and my facebook feed is shockingly void of them. It's kind of a sad world, actually. We should all be doing Haiku today.

    Mauer at cleanup Walk from your power spot, bad Hope for Sano blast
