    Great start to Romero's career. The innings limit thing, or Verducci effect, is bunk. Not that teams act that way....but it is bunk. I'm guessing he goes around 130 innings as a starter, and then (really depends on the team's playoff picture) he moves to a RP role. But, that's a guess. If they limit him to 6 innings a start, that's over 20 starts the rest of the way. They could send him to AAA for a couple weeks, and just have him miss a few starts. IF I was going to worry about innings, and they are a playoff contender, that's what I'd do. I'd want him in the playoffs.

    Nice straw man, brock....... Mauer, Castro, Dozier? ESan? Rodney? Reed? Lynn? Morrison? Heck, even Garver? Escobar? Hence my looking for a weighted average age.....and IIRC, the Twins aren't young that way either. I just ran the numbers....based on plate appearances this year, the Twins are over 28 years old. That will drop as Buxton and Sano get more ABs.....

    Silly. The starting hitters face the starter two or three times. They face a relief pitcher once or twice. Worrying about one at bat, versus the certain earlier ones is bad math. Plus, defense. Plus running
  4. Mike Sixel
    I can't find a site that lists the weighted average age, taking into account how much players play....but I know they are out there. I am pretty sure I saw they were closer to median when weighting for age....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Twins aren't all that young, actually.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    That's just not true anymore. Not and more teams have young relief pitchers, because relief pitching is more and more important. Enns will never be a MLB starter on a good team. But he could be a RP. In many ways, it is better for his money making if they switch him, frankly.
  7. Mike Sixel
    so all the fielder had to do there was run toward third base? I mean, he probably gets there before Mauer. Then Mauer has to choose if he tries to get back or not. Good play by Mauer, I think. Bad play by the fielder for sure. IMO.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Because pitchers lose velocity as they age. Because he's not really pitched much in 1-2 years. Because he's not in A ball yet (though will be). Age matters. A lot.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It's more fun when they win. So, despite the lack of pretty.... It was good they won.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Well stated. And I agree, it is what I would do.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Probably should make him a RP, given his age and how little he has pitched
  12. Mike Sixel
    Money laundering. That's going to be the end.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Left, right, who cares if he can hit?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Correct. That last sentence is the key.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Riverbrian with excellent points.... Which I agree with, despite not wanting to
  16. Mike Sixel
    Hector Santiago and James Shields. Wow.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Like I said before, he is the player that most confuses me. He can look like this, or he can make very bad plays. We all remain hopeful he looks like this more. He certainly has talent and works hard.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Didn't see that coming! Good luck to him.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I hate injuries. These guys work hard to entertain is, and then they get hurt. At least now we get to see what Garver can do, or not. But I'd have preferred it not to happen to way.
  20. Mike Sixel
    In this case, im only spending 500k, and reinvesting that for almost two years, instead of sitting on a worthless stock, only to get nothing in two years, most likely. But, fear of loss is much more powerful than hope for gain, as research shows.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    But I'm talking about now. Now. Not then. What to do now.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd like him hitting 4th right now....

    Is light beer really beer? Yes, but bad. 2: What is the point of decaffeinated coffee? Poison. It's actually not healthy. 3: Parkay: Is it butter or not? (it's freaking margarine and it tastes like margarine, yeesh!) No. And not butter is really bad for you. 4: Ketchup on hot dogs? Yes? No? Sacrilege? As much stuff on a hotdog as possible. 5: Space X is awesome! Duh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    If he could pitch, they'd still have him. This is professional sports. Imo
  25. Mike Sixel
    Matt Harvey DFA.... Because some teams care about getting rid of players who are done physically....
