  1. Those aren't even comparable situations at all. Not even close.
  2. It is almost like looking at BA alone, and not all aspects of a hitter, including position, is a good idea...... Jeffers is putting up decent numbers for a CATCHER who is a rookie. He's 31st in fWAR among catchers......partly because he's 15th in home runs among MLB catchers......if you only looked at Home Runs and saw a player ranked 15th at his position in all of MLB, you'd think he was great.....
  3. Brian O'Neill signed to an extension.....makes a ton of sense.
  4. I'm guessing they are looking for starters next year ... He has been a starter, not a good one. I have strong doubts, given his track record..... My fear is they count on him for next year, and he reverts to what he's been.... As for today, nice to win.
  5. Cruz is a free agent.... Who does nothing for this team the rest of the year. It was a great trade.
  6. I was responding to a post that talked about not going with an OF who was hot in spring training. Separately, I didn't get the Dobnak to the bullpen decision at all. Nor the shoemaker signing.
  7. Still not sure I understand Gant as starter vs reliever.....
  8. The literally won the division the last two years before this.....I got no idea how anyone can feel all they sell is hope.
  9. Right....pitches don't magically move differently in FL......
  10. Did anyone like this pick, over the other guys available, other than the Twins FO? I mean, clearly I want him to succeed.....
  11. If the FO makes decisions based on hot spring training stats....that would be bad.
  12. The young pitchers need a mentor or two..... They need at least one veteran, probably two. Then use the rest of the staff to rotate guys in.....
  13. No expert or system predicted it would turn out this way. Stuff happens....
  14. There is no realistic path to a great staff to start next year. No team has added three great pitchers in one off-season. With luck, they could have a good rotation next year, but it will be luck.
  15. who is saying we know Ober is good? We are saying he's in the starting rotation.....I guess someone may be saying that, but I don't think most are.....He might be? But we pretty much know he's in the rotation next year....
  16. You know, I have decided I agree with you.......
  17. Need to finish Schitt's Creek before I can cancel....and season 1 of Shadow and Bone, and 3 of Castlevania....so, gonna be awhile....
  18. We also just started....
  19. I'd only bring in two from outside the org at this point. Free agent ( a 2/3, not a 5) Trade (a 2/3, not a 4/5) Ober Ryan or someone Someone else from inside the org Lots of guys in AAA that are young for a change..... I think bringing in a third from the outside just means that a lot of high upside arms spend next year in the minors.....rather than getting time in MN.
  20. I mean, I literally posted a link to an article about the surgery....up above....from a professional....
  21. Encouraging first start. I will be surprised if he's not in the rotation to start the season next year. I have no idea if that fastball will work over multiple innings, but I think we'll find out next year.
  22. weird, it showed the tweet, now doesn't.....this is a link to an article about the kind of surgery he had. Also, this is one of the better follows if you want info about injuries....
  23. You wouldn't deal prospects for a legit 2/3 type (if there is one out there)?
