    Well, different people value different things differently, as it were. We also don't know if consistency is more important or not. I'd like to know....but we don't have that data available as far as I know. But, I think your point is, "if he's not that good, he's not that valuable", and I agree with that equation (though I do think Dozier is good...).

    If Meyer comes back fast, and is great fast...then I have to wonder about the Twins' minor and major league coaching. If takes 2-3 years, or never happens, well, then whatevs.* *yes, I posted whatevs, sue me
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's only been true for over 2000 years now...
  4. Mike Sixel
    I cannot find any analysis of this on line...maybe I'll suggest it to some of the sites?
  5. Mike Sixel
    What's the first one get?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Maybe I'll look at this tonight..... So, there are other stats that take into account leverage and win probability of every at bat..... Could you measure the value of a streaky player by looking at WAR/WPA or something like that? dozier is 17th in fWAR, but 80th in WPA/LI......does that tell us something? *I know, some of you just puked...

    And, here is the follow up: mike sixel 2:39 follow up on Berrios: why concern over velocity? Isn't command and movement the issue so far? Eric A Longenhagen 2:39 Yes but he was able to get away with that more often when he was touching 97. I think it's more likely he does that again rather than suddenly learn how to create movement AND command everything.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Catch Radius is actually useful....the others? meh, not so much.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I was a bit surprised by that answer also... I asked a follow up, but not likely it is answered.
  10. Mike Sixel
    from the prospect chat today: Jack C. 2:14 Thoughts on Twins' Luiz Arraez? .344/.383/.450 in 95 games with the Kernels this year. Still only 19 years old. Someone to keep an eye on? Eric A Longenhagen 2:15 Definitely worth monitoring. Bat-first 2B type. Body offers little projection and the swing isn't geared for much power but he has bat speed, could be plus hit. Tunnel Snakes Rule 2:24 Is there real concern for Jose Berrios? Or is this just a case of still learning to pitch to MLB hitters? Eric A Longenhagen 2:24 I'd wait to see where the velo is next spring before panicking but I know I'm getting there.

    I don't get the disdain, it is a short cut answer in a chat, where they are trying to answer as many questions as possible. I'll take the odds the writer is "more plugged in" than anyone here besides Goin....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Weird, he never played in MN for months, now he's back already?
  13. Mike Sixel
    It's impossible to watch on the West Coast, since it is ALL tape delayed. I hate sports when you know the outcome. Plus, I hate this 11 pm end of prime time, why isn't it all like Central time? I know the coverage isn't aimed at me, but how about some coverage, and not hours of fluff with minutes of competition? And, yes, I am not big on nationalism.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He does? Dang, then I like the trade less than I did....still don't hate it like some do, but now I am even more "meh" than I was before.
  15. Mike Sixel
    don't forget to adjust for league wide numbers when comparing him to Kent.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Oh, you added TC......got it.... Which have you been to? Breweries, or bars?
  17. Mike Sixel
    that wasn't what you posted....you posted that Dozier is part of why they are losing. Stating they should trade him to improve the team overall is a very different statement...
  18. Mike Sixel
    Is this a real post? So, Mike Trout is part of the problem in LA? it is a team sport.
  19. Mike Sixel
    come on.......there are 50+ sites in Portland, but all in the same area. That's a legit question, imo. Or not, whatever...
  20. Mike Sixel
    What city?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I would consider any of the following: 1. Traded (with other assets if needed) for a very good to great MLB SP who is under 30 and at least 3 years of control left (good luck getting that) 2. Traded (with other assets if needed) for a great minor league SP in AA or AAA and a flyer A guy 3. Traded for a legit CF, who is under 30 with at least 3 years of control left (then trade Buxton for minor league pitching prospects) (I expect this to be met with much derision). 4. Kept on the roster.
  22. Mike Sixel
    And those are only the errors, his range is "suspect" I believe is how you say it in polite company. I'd almost rather have a not hit defender up here, than an OBP guy who can't field.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Can't. Tell. IF. Serious.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Of course, I did say he needed a short leash. I have two concerns with keeping him: 1. That will preclude them from adding a likely better arm, just like acquiring Murphy kept them from getting a real catcher. 2. Molitor appears to have a bias for veterans over rookies. I'd rather the best players play more.... I have 1 concern with cutting him: 1. They don't have better options right now.

    What, no one could do this while I was in Crater Lake National Park? Bill: Two interesting articles on Kepler last week in Fangraphs seeming to point different directions for him. Could Kepler’s pitch recognition ability account for any of his unexpected power, or does the batted ball/expected power profile, mean that despite advanced pitch recognition he is still not making the type of contact that would lead you to expect more than 15 or so homers in a season. Where do you see his power/average falling 10:09 Jeff Sullivan: Here’s the problem I have with the pitch-recognition idea: this year, 288 hitters have batted at least 200 times. Kepler ranks sixth-lowest in Z-Swing% – O-Swing% 10:11 Jeff Sullivan: Now that doesn’t prove anything. Joe Mauer is even lower! But it suggests some imprecise decision-making. And in terms of exit velocity on balls hit in the air, Kepler’s average ranks 266th out of 336. He’s right by Darwin Barney and Cesar Hernandez 10:12 Jeff Sullivan: I think Kepler is an interesting hitter, and the Twins are desperate for players with upside. I’m not convinced yet he’ll become more than a third outfielder. That’s a starter, of course, but not a star
