  1. Correa 3:25 Correa is having a great year and even better past few weeks. He gets lost in the shuffle of amazing AL SS but what are your thoughts on his HOF path? AvatarJay Jaffe 3:26 Hoping to write about him soon. I still think he's in good shape HOFwise, especially if this hot streak heralds a return to his previous level of performance
  2. Lee's been healthy for less than a month.....I love his promise, but I don't wee any need to move him up right now.
  3. I kind of agree on Kepler.....but I can never decide how I feel about him. Thanks to you also.
  4. The big picture is that neither of them will hit like that going forward, or they'd be top 10 players in baseball...... It isn't one year for Farmer and Margot, and if you worry at all about next year, it should 100% be Martin and Julien up here, so they are good this year and in the future (or they aren't, and we know to go get someone). IMO, of course.
  5. I mean, I don't get how we can say Kepler and Polanco didn't pan out....they've had multiple good years in the majors. Buxton? Injuries mostly explain that for me. Sano? Perplexing to me. I thought he'd have a longer career for sure. Mostly though, I just post stuff here from other sites....though I don't go to as many or post as many anymore....
  6. They can only play against the guys they play against. I'm happy they succeeded against what it likely lesser competition.....
  7. Did you look at the rates for all the other teams? Because you can't judge this in a vacuum.....Julien has already accumulated a TON of war for a pick as late as him..... I share your skepticism overall, but when you look at most teams and what they produce, it's remarkable there are even enough players in the majors.....I have no idea what Arraez being traded has to do with if he's good (and, you ignored the value from Lopez last year, I see). Lastly, I post stuff here, I don't necessarily agree with it, but not everyone goes to sites and sees stuff so I'm just sharing it.
  8. Holy hell that's a terrible trade for MN. A rental for that package? Yikes.
  9. "a few moments".....on a per game basis he was the 2nd best LFer in the game during his time up in MN. I don't get why we suddenly think Julien and Wallner, both of whom have hit at every level, aren't part of the future.
  10. How is this on Rocco? Who should be at second given this roster? Who should have played center when Byron didn't? This is the FO....
  11. Has anyone ever forced their way on? I feel like they only get called up if there is terrible play at the MLB level, or an injury or trade. I'm ready to move on from Farmer and Margot, but the Twins didn't seem to be.
  12. Stuff about Cole Sands https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-three-relievers-with-four-fastballs/
  13. Not many of us liked the pick.... Too bad it didn't work.
  14. Now they need left handed bats? We've given up on Julien and Wallner? I just didn't get this thought at all you'd trade for a LH corner OF. Not even a little.
  15. It looks at all the teams and how they do at developing players, so you can see how other teams do also.....It ranks the TWins very highly....we just don't pay enough attn to other teams to really do comparisons on our own, IME.
  16. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-dog-ate-my-prospect/
  17. Fangraphs says they were considering keaschell for the top 100, and haven't done Minnesota's list yet. I'm guessing he's there now.... Dude can really hit.
  18. It's even harder to hold, because you can only hold 40 guys at some point.....
  19. None of this is regression to the mean.....it's insanely above their mean. But, it is good news for these games for sure. Very good news. I hope no one expects this to continue (I'd expect them to do what they did last year, give or take).
