    Really cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    With one more reliever off the board, I sure hope we don't have to settle for Kimbrel.* *Reverse psychology.

    Talent levels aside, I think a reason people (including me) are reluctant to give big assets for a catcher is because the one we signed on a three-year contract got hurt early in his second year.

    Mayo: "If ever a No. 1 pick overall could be slightly underrated, it was Royce Lewis.... He's going to be a premium player at a premium position soon." Caple: "It's amazing with Royce Lewis. He was the No. 1 pick two year ago, and he's better than people thought."

    Now THAT'S a BB/K ratio I can get excited about.

    My liquid vice is actually Mountain Dew, which gives me the advantage of bulking up with the 46-oz. cup at Casey's. I also find that size helpful in washing down the Chips Ahoy.

    "Mrs. IT says the weight he has put on is quite noticeable."
  8. IndianaTwin
    Over the last few years, I've added about 21 pounds of padding with some weight lifting as well. It was mostly a lot of low-weight repetitions with a spoonful of ice cream.

    Except for the part of having to put up with Cubs/Sox fans if they are playing in October.

    After reading the thoughts people are saying about going after Machado on a short-term deal, I started thinking the same about Kimbrel, and then I read this on mlb.com. https://www.mlb.com/news/best-free-agent-fits-for-craig-kimbrel/c-302893196. 5. TwinsThe Twins are gearing up to challenge the Indians in the AL Central in 2019. They clearly think their young core is ready to make the leap, and they've added a lot of power to their offense by grabbing Nelson Cruz, C.J. Cron and Jonathan Schoop. But after those acquisitions, the back end of their bullpen still looks like it needs a boost. They did sign Blake Parker, they have some other options like Addison Reed and Trevor May, and Taylor Rogers might be the best reliever you've never heard of. But those guys just aren't in Kimbrel's class. On the other hand, as a bridge to Kimbrel… that could a strong group. Minnesota might have to wait out the market, but the idea of adding an elite closer should be a tantalizing one, especially since the Twins' bullpen was a big question mark even during their surprise run to the playoffs two years ago.Given that with the way the market has gone, it seems clear that he's not going to get the 70/4 that MLBTR predicted. How much would it take to get him on a 1-year deal? If no contention, he'd certainly net a haul as well.

    I like Norris, and you convinced me on Vincent. I'd also still take Greg Holland as well. His St. Louis stint killed my fantasy team last year, but he had no spring training. He was studly in Washington and has a track record. Most importantly -- great summary and discussion starter. But, Jamie, only 54 posts in four years? You need to do more than one per month!
  12. IndianaTwin
    I was high on Spooneybarger when he came up. Wouldn't it have been awesome if he was five years younger or Saltalamacchia was five years older?
  13. IndianaTwin
    We got six inches of snow so far. You? And can you believe those idiots on (name your channel of choice)?
  14. IndianaTwin
    And Plesac quickly voted for Schoop when asked if he or Dozier would have a better year. But neither thought of Buxton when asked for the best base stealer.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Thanks for the tip. I say, "Anything that makes me remember Bob Gorinski is a good thing."
  16. IndianaTwin
    Don't worry -- you can write it normally. Sox folks can't read.
  17. IndianaTwin
    I've been on the pull-him-after-5 bandwagon, but I do see that the dropoff on the third time through the order or on pitches 76+ was MUCH more severe last year than his previous years.
  18. IndianaTwin
    I was going to ask if this thread should be retitled "...Part 1a (17-21)".
  19. IndianaTwin
    See previous post.
  20. IndianaTwin
    I will click "like" on any post that includes David Robertson.
  21. IndianaTwin
    I've seen a couple references on TD to Beckham. No to his 66 OPS+ over the past four years. And his top similarity score is Don Zimmer!
  22. IndianaTwin
    Thanks for the link to this interesting sto... Z-z-z-z-z.

    (Quoting yours among several commenting on a 12-man staff...) Five days off in the first 15 days of the season. They don't have to use a 5th starter until the 15th game of the season. It sure would be nice if they would at least START the season with a 12-man staff. They managed to wait to game 16 to start Hughes last year, though that included snow and Puerto Rico. But that at least suggests they are willing to hold off on needing No. 5. I don't recall whether that meant carrying a four-man bench during that time.

    Dear Santa Falvine: Do you read the New York Post? George A. King III reports that David Robertson is looking for a three-year contract. According to King, so far most interested teams have only been willing to offer a two-year pact. The 33-year-old hurler compiled a 3.23 ERA and 91/26 K/BB ratio across 69 2/3 innings with the Yankees during the 2018 campaign. The Red Sox and Phillies are known to have interest in his services. Source: New York Post Santa, I have been very, very good. Please be the team willing to go three years and give me a shiny reliever wrapped up with a spiffy bow. I promise I will be very good next year too and not send you any more of those Nigerian prince emails queued up in my Out box. -IT

    Sign them both to 3-year deals if you think they can pitch well for that time (and I think they can). If they pitch well and the team stinks in either 2019 or 2020, it seems that makes them even MORE valuable as trade assets with 2.5 or 1.5 years of control. If they pitch well and some of the young guys pitch well enough so we can get along without them, same thing. And if they don’t pitch well, well, trade them to the Padres!
