Did you read the fangraphs.com write ups? How many pitchers do they project as a number 2 or better?
-
They could have signed enlow even with taking a more expensive first player..... they just didn't do that. What great pitcher is on the roster that this front office developed? It's been plenty of time for at least one..... as for Lewis.... we'll see. He was the first overall pick, not the 20th..... so they better be right. As for trading from surplus, pretty sure I've said that should be part of the strategy.
-
Well, the FO makes the picks....and 4 of the 6 first rounders have been corner types, after the last one before they took over was a corner guy. That was my point.....that if you make those types of picks, you'll have a harder time having great pitching. Unless you trade for it or sign free agents. Harder, not impossible. I don't get how this is controversial. If they only picked pitchers, I'd say it is hard to have great position players......

Great line on Twitter today, that the plane carrying him to Indy was intercepted, and they can't find him.... Unreal they got this much. Unreal.
-
thanks for the data.....about this FO.
-
The FO is totally different than those earlier statements about, say, catchers. I'm not sure why we are talking about the old FO still?
-
I'm doing the sample size of this FO....the old FO had a different philosophy....why would I talk about the old FO?
-
Thanks, I thought he was older....
-
How old is Pierce?
-
Tatis signed for 14 years and 340 million......
-
If they take a WR, they are insane. Randy Moss couldn't help this team win games, not with this OL and DL......
-
We also collected flashlights and candles. If you have a hot water heater, you can drain it and put the hot water in a small room (in a bowl or bucket).
-
Ya, not a fan of this at all.....they really seem to be against anyone with a new idea.
-
I have no idea what that means......are you calling me ignorant?
-
Fair. No idea why giving players more choice is bad.... but you can feel what you want to feel.
-
In theory....but NO ONE will spend that much, imo. I'll be posting about the dollars next.......so, yes, the pools reset every round.....so, the worst teams get $8MM in round 1....then they get $5MM in round 2....etc.

Here is my proposal for blowing up the MLB draft..... Part 1 has the goals and a summary Part 2 has the details Eventually I will publish part three (and maybe 4) which analyzes the money distribution and makes predictions about what I think would actually happen.... https://mikesixel.com/fixing-the-mlb-draft-part-one/ edit: There is an intermittent issue with my site.....which they are working to fix. If you get an error, apologies in advance....just try reloading.....
-
Pretty sure we just witnessed the importance of OL and DL play.....
-
It is.....those owners don't care about winning at this point.....which is, of course, their right.....
-
They also acquired Darvish...... The point the poster was trying to make was the Twins should not spend money and pocket it.

Huh. Just last week the most pro-owner poster here said the Dodgers don't use FA to get pitching.....and the Twins should be more like them........ edit: not that they can afford this exact number.....but that's not the point....
-
Of course, it isn't likely the next batter or two will hit a HR.....so it is likely he's stranded if he only gets to first....but again, lots of stats exist that show relative offensive value....lots.
-
There are a lot of advanced stats that take into account the value of a walk, vs hit vs 2B, 3B, or HR or out......not sure why people are doing complex math to figure this out.... Arraez is surprisingly valuable for a guy w/o any/much power........but he's no Cruz, not even close.
