4:40 Are the Twins the most truest of true outcome teams?

4:40 That was certainly their MO last season, but I would imagine they'll be less so without Gallo and MAT.
I'd also prefer Jeffers DH and not Margot. I guess since I want both of them playing, I'd rather have Vazquez catch and Margot on the bench.....so agreed.
Medium for me. Was getting there, then got COVID and didn't work out for weeks. Plus I'm officially feeling old with number sixty just a week away.
I like this team, not sure I love this team yet.
I hope I've been clear, I don't have any expectations he'll hit like that this year.....I'm guessing he's 8th-13th among LFers in fWAR this year....but I won't be utterly shocked if he goes down for a few weeks (or more) either.
He played less than half the games....if he played the same all year, why would I not double his counting stats? I mean, his D and baserunning matter too.....
In any event, I was wrong, he was 5th or 6th.
By wrc+ he was 2nd overall, among LFers, btw.....
All we can go on is what happened, and people are literally typing he wasn't all that good last. I clearly said he might not be going forward, all I said was that on a per game basis, he was great last year. Nothing more or less.
Wallner was the second best LFer in the game last year by war..... He didn't play half the games, and if you double his war he was literally the second best LFer in all of baseball.
This idea he wasn't all that good last year is clearly not true at all.
As for this year? Sure, he could absolutely struggle and go down, just like Hunter and others have. No doubt.
