  1. Dobnak has been better, by far, than a guy no one has signed to a MLB deal.
  2. Not one young starter is in the rotation. This is an odd stance, imo.
  3. Got it. I think it's about depth, not trust. I think I'd start all three in Minnesota next year, but that would crush the depth. I would move Maeda to the bullpen and pay him, and put Ober in Minnesota now, but it's not up to me.
  4. Well, two are likely gone after this year..... So there will be space next year.
  5. 25 HR and .275 would be all star level hitting in this environment.
  6. No chance. Plus, why wouldn't that team have just signed him? No chance.
  7. Mahle is pitching 4-5 innings at his normal speed? How is he not ready? To answer your question....because they have to think about the future, not just day one. Maeda doesn't have options (though, I would put him in the pen and just rewrite his contract and use him as a 2 inning guy).
  8. No staff averaged that. Not even close. I have no doubt they'll let at least three starters go 6 most starts (Ryan, Gray, Lopez). They did that when they had good pitchers before. As for Mahle and Maeda, that depends on health and how they are doing that day and how rested the pen is.
  9. When did he last sign a MLB deal? I don't get the angst, frankly. I'm happy for him, but I don't think this matters to the Twins much at all. Also, Winder was pitching on a back field today.....
  10. What changes for the vast majority of fans if they are more transparent? I see only downsides, frankly.
  11. Truth. Paddock getting hurt was a blow. Not piggy backing was a weird choice, imo.
  12. Of those 124 pitchers, Bundy had the 20th worst ERA, and Archer 26th, if you prefer ERA.
  13. 124 pitchers pitched 100 innings or more. Bundy was 109th in fwar, and Archer was worse. How is that anything other than terrible?
  14. I can read, I can also look at stats. They were terrible relative to the league. You only have to go to leaderboards and sort.
  15. Which objective truth are stat people ignoring for narrative?
  16. Based on Mahle being better then Bundy nearly every year lately? Or do you think he's hurt?
  17. Hopefully Maeda is great, and they don't need Ober soon.
  18. Several players have made rosters from AA this spring on other teams. The good argument you make is that polanco is likely back in ten days or so. If he's out a month, I'd like to see Julien get a shot. He had upside. But I like giving Gordon a shot, if he's not in the outfield.
  19. They were objectively terrible. Sort starting pitching rankings, then go to near the last page.... That's where you'll find them.
  20. Those two aren't competing for a spot, are they?
