  1. Check this out: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/explaining-win-values-part-three/
  2. Lee number 15 and Lewis 57 on fangraphs.... Among others.... Still laughing at the post on another thread saying Lee's not good....
  3. Guess I didn't RC
  4. He was a CF before coming here, IIRC.....
  5. Certainly would be better for the fans mentally, unless the new guy is worse......then we'll get to read how idiotic the FO is, despite having the best pitching in MLB....
  6. I don't believe it is hubris at all. You have inside information on this? Because they've let other guys go....
  7. They added a great starter, to lessen the need. How many RPs would you have cut from the team before the year, and realistically signed? Which ones (w/o looking at their current stats)? Because signing three RPs that are GREAT seems unrealistically optimistic to me, but I could be wrong.
  8. Lee isn't a minus fielder, btw. Miranda is, clearly.....as is Julien. I'm talking long term, but even short term....they need a CF that can hit, not just field and run. Short and long term.....
  9. Twins pen is league median....not great, but not a disaster. Some people seem to expect the FO to build the best team at every position, which seems unrealistic to me. YMMV, of course. Overall they have the best pitching staff in the game, which, sure, you can still complain if you want. That's your right, of course.
  10. Twins are league median in RP....and number 1 in starting. I get you can fix everything, theoretically, but I think we lose sight of progress sometimes.....Overall, they are the second best pitching team in MLB right now .....so, yes, a better bullpen would be great! But the anger at the FO is over the top for me (YMMV, of course).
  11. Same. I'm too old to be afraid at this point.
  12. All fair. I can't see how planting and throwing is safer, but I can't find any studies about IF vs OF injuries....though they must exist.
  13. He was finally fully healthy last year, and was pretty good. 100% a MLB player. He was just coming around, as you say, and now this. It's hard not to feel for the young man.
  14. This. He's been top 10 in stuff+ for AAA starters nearly all year, and yet, something isn't working. Agreed, though, he's quite young still.
  15. Most minor league evaluatiors have projected him in the OF since he was drafted. I'm not sure they agree he doesn't fit.
  16. Agreed. I just don't know where he, Lee and Julien play together.... especially if Buxton is a DH.... And then there's Miranda. The opening might be at third right now, but it's 100 percent in the OF going forward.
  17. He also got hurt on stairs..... There is zero evidence OF is more dangerous than IF....
  18. Ugh. Do not understand. Not with Lee and Julien around ... And Miranda.
  19. Hahahaha. Unreal. Lee isn't even one year out of college, at AA, and playing well. Unreal.
  20. Ouch. Good luck to him!
  21. Being injured tends to do that....and there was zero history of injury before last year.
  22. Great stuff. I came to this site from yours, and I miss reading your stuff nearly every day!
  23. It's almost like you ignored the point completely.
