  1. baby bull 12:26 What will Miguel Sano's career low k% be (excluding 2014's 0%)? Eno Sarris 12:26 28% in peak year.
  2. Just totally disagree with this stance. I'd like the WBC to be even bigger, frankly.
  3. Hank 12:15 Which Twins player do you believe will have a better 2017: Miguel Sano or Byron Buxton? Eno Sarris 12:15 Sano. Although what's the judging factor. By wRC+, easily Sano, so easily. By WAR, dunno, Buxton will be a good defender. Husk 12:17 If I'm looking to target a few teams that will be the first to switch closers this year, am I right to target TEX and MIN? Eno Sarris 12:20 Minny for sure, but Dyson has a really high floor with that Britton-esque sinker. I think Rockies could be in flux, depending on Holland's velo when he comes back, Nationals obviously, Athletics, Marlins maybe, Brewers. Dbacks, Phils, Angels. Last two probably first on the list with Minny.
  4. He won't be working with the Twins' coaches, they won't have control over how he is used......no idea if it is good or bad, but for a team completely changing it's approach to pitching development, and for a guy that had serious control issues, I'd want him in camp, with my pitching coach.
  5. 1:03 Sam: Zips has Miguel Sano projected for .235/.324/.471 with 26 HR’s. I must be greatly overrating Sano, because I think this seems very low for him. Do you forsee a Sano breakout, or are the Zips about right in your eyes? 1:03 Travis Sawchik: I foresee 35 HRs, with health, and .820ish OPS
  6. ouch: :42 baby bull: Which AL Central 3B has best year, Jose Ramirez, Miguel Sano, Moustakas? 9:42 Paul Swydan: I hope it’s Sano, but I’ll say Ramirez.
  7. MB 2:39 Speaking of Sano - do you believe some of his struggles can be attributed to him being "too selective" at the plate ? Dan Szymborski 2:39 No, I don't think he's in the Hermida Zone.
  8. It kind of depends on what you do with the OL as a whole. Do they even have an OT other than Clemmings on the roster now? And what about OG? I think they sign one expensive FA, one medium FA, and then use the draft on the rest. Given the OTs in the draft, I'd probably try to deal up into round 1 with their 2nd and AP and Floyd in a package, and draft the start LT. If anyone would do that.....which I doubt. I try to sign Zeitler for the open OG spot, use their 3rd round pick and current players for C, Boone at LT or LG or RG, medium FA for RT, and who the heck knows what for LT. Kalil hasn't been healthy for a few years now, I'd almost rather go with a guy with less upside, but that in whom I was relatively sure would be healthy.
  9. An ERA of 4 is the 18th best SP in the AL last year (by ERA). I'd be thrilled if Gibson has that, since that is an outcome based stat. Thrilled.
  10. How does this effect the pitchers being in the Twins' rotation or not this year (to start the year)? Will they be following the new rules for control (or command) put in place for Twins' pitchers and bullpens? Will they have any Twins' coaching? If not, it is hard to see how they start the year in MN, frankly.
  11. I agree, unless they really surprise us and compete for a playoff spot, I'd like to see as many of the young players up and given a shot, as possible.
  12. If they have so many SP that are "meh", why not make some into RPs? I mean, if they really think they have 11 starters, there is no reason for May or Duffey to be anything other than a RP at this point (I don't agree they have 11 starters.....).
  13. He has A LOT of swing and miss, so I'm not sure how he has no real weakness, frankly. 7 of the top 10 players are pitchers, and he has them pass on all of them.
  14. Worst staff in baseball, and they plan to double down?
  15. Courtney Barnett is awesome.
  16. Gibson is first on the list. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/who-could-drop-their-arm-slot-for-more-success/
  17. I will be disappointed if Berrios is in the minors, and Gonsalves is in AA. Very.
  18. Nice line. It makes you think. I am going over.
  19. We're friends? Cool. Or was that someone else, and my ego is too big?
  20. Kiriloff isn't destined to be a DH, is he?
  21. Good stuff. My go to site.
  22. And a random veteran helps how, if that is the problem?
