Not me. Be aggressive or go home. Plus, it's a pattern..... No matter the d
-
Does Zimmer know you can go for it, and not kick short field goals?
-
That's a terrible trade. If they eat a ton of money, they need one good prospect back. And they don't need more forty man issues.
-
Good luck to them all!
-
It isn't like the Red Sox don't have one of the highest payrolls in the game, and kept other players not named Betts......I'd say the Twins did with Berrios what the Sox did with Betts. We'll see if they do what Boston did with others with Buxton, or trade him or just lose him in FA.
-
What about the other teams in the playoffs? How good were the Giants before this year with their strategy? They had career years up and down the lineup, kind of like MN in 2019....... I think a lot is glossed over here.....Boston has a massive payroll, the idea they've not spent money "you don't need a big off season" is kind of odd in what you are implying. Before anyone says "copy the Rays"....no team has been able to copy the Rays in years now. It just isn't that easy.
-
Do I need a job? that's been the existential question I've asked myself since getting laid off 4 years ago......I mean, what, really, is a job? I do lots of stuff, some of which I almost break even on.....
-
Dodgers going with an opener.....the Giants used splits and variable lineups more than most teams this year....
-
If it is about money and risk, it doesn't matter if he's a free agent or on the roster. And, he's already turned down over fifteen million a year for seven years, reportedly.
-
I'm not sure how any journalism can survive w/o political backing (see certain cable propaganda channels) at this point.
-
He is very highly thought of in prospect circles.......ceiling? a 4 WAR season or two, I'd guess. Not what I expect, I think he's probably a 2-2.5 war player, as his defense appears limited. That is a good player.....we should be happy with 2.5 WAR, imo.
-
Well, this hasn't gone like I'd hoped.......
-
Blessed if you do, blessed if you don't!
-
Not worth what? By that logic, don't sign Buxton, right? His status as a Twins makes no difference in terms of money/payroll.
-
Truth, mostly. There is no guarantee a great player will be there at the exact moment they "put you over the top". Or that you'll be able to sign them. The Twins would 100% be better (unless injury happened, which, anyone can get hurt) if they signed one of these guys. (note: I'm not discussing these particular players and % of revenue on a player, just that the argument here seems to be never sign a FA, or don't sign one until they are the last piece.....both of which I disagree with)
-
The only thing that surprises me is that this was part of an investigation into Washington, and no one in that org lost their job...... Racism, misogamy, and prejudice against LGBTQ people never surprise me, alas.
-
Those saying he's wrong.....show your work, please. It's one thing to criticize his work, it's another to show he's wrong. There is clearly a correlation here. Whether he's right about it being important (not essential, not necessary, important) or not can be argued, but it would be great if those arguing against him held themselves to the same level of work they want out of him.
-
Ya, I don't get the Jax love on this site. I mean, emotionally, I get it. But factually? Not at all. Could he move to the pen and be good? Sure. But it doesn't seem likely to me. As for the rest? I'd think Martin starting in LF out of spring training and being a great hitter/fielder is much more plausible than any of the other things on this list. Much.
-
Basically, don't sign big time Free Agents? Because every one of them has a flaw?
-
Defensive genius!

Projected Arbitration Numbers From MLBTradeRumors

Truth. -
Then make it a triple. There is no reason every runner shouldn't score there. The internet is literally filled with people suggesting every outfielder should try this now. Or something like it. Just punish the fielder, and rewards the hitter. There is no logical reason it is a double, it can be whatever they want.
-
The umpires should be able to award another base. Though they never would. Make it a triple. No gamesmanship is available then. The fielder should be punished, not rewarded.
-
Terrible rule. I teach my players to knock balls out of play now for sure.

Neither KC or Buffalo taking a knee......
