  1. Other than Garver, who is really time in experience? How long would the outfielders have to be on rosters for you not to think of them as green? I don't think three years is all that green anymore
  2. By weighted WAR projections, the twins are not in the top ten for youngest position players, so I don't know about next decade... They better be in win now mode, ESan, Dozier, Mauer, Castro are not getting younger or signed for long.... Not to mention Morrison and Lynn.
  3. Lindor says hello. His worst year is 4.4 WAR... His rookie year. Ramirez put up an insane 6.6 last year. Two White Sox put up over 4 last year. Sure, Buxton could be better than all of them, but my money is on lindor. And Dozier.

  5. Those are two different stories about projections and predictions In both, people like the Twins more than projection systems.

  8. The Sox are the real variance team. If the time players come on fast, or slowly, that is the question. But, they are coming. The Cleveland team is probably 8-10 wins better, given equal health, imo. That is makeupable, but they are the clear favorites.
  9. One of the better rosters we've seen in some time. Good luck to the team!
  10. We are happy they are rewarding spring training production, and ignoring years of minor league results? Ok then. Congrats and good luck to him. I hope he makes me look more stupid than I do on my own.
  11. It costs that much to get him. I'm not sure why spreading the money over more years is bad. You need to look at the entirety of the contract, not just the bad years, to judge the contract.
  12. No, he's saying, and I'm saying, is that he's 29 and it is not LIKELY that he's good. You do realize his BABIP is twice what is realistic, in spring training, right? I think people here confuse likely with "certain" a lot. Brock isn't certain of anything, but he's talking about what is likely/probably.
  13. I have no idea if they are right or not, I don't comment on them really at all, other than to point out teams are using RPs more in general. But it wouldn't shock me if those numbers were all correct. Less than sixty pitchers cracked 160 innings last year.
  14. Hard to say. Not many pitchers pitch a lot of innings anymore....for many reasons. To me, this points out how RPs are becoming more important, as much as anything else.
  15. I do agree years five and six will be interesting. I like him for the next four, so it's a matter of how much those first four years are worth, in terms of the cost of the last two.
  16. What do you base that on, exactly? Because it's not close to one of hte ten worst this year, or next....
  17. No shocks here... https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-positional-power-rankings-starting-rotation-16-30/
  18. On this team he's a backup, or trade bait, or backup. Are we not supposed to have this conversation in context of the Twins? I am aware of KATOH thinks (and man we are going to miss seeing KATOH, sigh), but that's not in context of his value to the Twins.
  19. Wanting a better backup has nothing to do with him getting more AAA at bats, unless people think he is working on things and can become a legit starter here somehow. Otherwise he only holds value as a backup here, or in a trade somehow.
  20. Totally sustainable.... Not a small sample size at all compared to over seven years of earlier data....
  21. Why? He's a backup as long as the big three are here, and there are guys on his tail.
  22. It's random, folks. I mean, does anyone think James Shields is the best pitcher on his staff?
  23. If they knew he had a pattern of behaviour, they should shut up an let it continue? Note I said if. That is your argument? Team over morals?
