    I like that this front office seems capable of making moves that serve different time scales. This is good.

    I don't feel picked on. Even I hated it as soon as I posted it. The screen where I was entering info to post didn't wrap the lines so I thought maybe it wouldn't be too cryptic. But once I hit posted, everything wrapped. Blech. If you want to read it, you could Copy the data into excel, sort text to columns, space delimited. Or not. Who cares. Other than me, as I spent 20 minutes on that post. LIFE IS MEANINGLESS. OK, I feel better now.

    Your responses to Questions 2 & 4 indicate a bias/preference for Kepler over Rosario. I'm a big fan of Kepler, but if you're willing to trade Rosario, why not be willing to trade Kepler? The age difference is about 1.5 years, so if that's the basis for the trade willingness/2020 lineup, OK - Kepler will be younger in 2020. For comparison, here are their career numbers. They are presented year by year, but if you want to compare age by age, you can shift Kepler's stats up one line mentally. I'm just curious as I think Rosario has been and will be better than Kepler (though I have hopes for somewhat of a Kepler breakout in 2018 just as Rosario broke out in 2017).

    I've never seen any of these prospects (1-50) so all I can do is appreciate the list. It's strange though; I definitely end up leaning towards "favorites" based on stats and write ups alone. Thanks for all these lists!

    2014: 234 PA 115 OPS+ 2015: 184 PA 71 OPS+ 2016: 177 PA 122 OPS+ 2017: 264 PA 101 OPS+ He has received chances. He has not received a regular and consistent chance. I think he'd do well with 500 PAs. As a reference, Joe Mauer in the last 4 seasons had OPS+ of 107, 98, 104, 116. (I'm well aware that Mauer posted considerably higher OPS+ in previous years. I just wanted a point of reference over Vargas' career.)

    Keep Kennys. I don't see why you give up on a guy with power like his without giving him a full shot. Obviously they value (or at least in 2017, valued) Grossman's OBP more and it's hard to argue too hard against that. But you can't lose him for nothing.

    I like that there is no DH in the NL, and I don't like that it appears it will quickly and easily go away. I like that they may go to 156 games and that the season may end a bit earlier than currently. I like Portland. It's a neat city. I've never been to Montreal. This has been things I like and don't like. See you next time.

    Rosario. Leader of Confident Young Hitters.

    This definitely became a must read for me. I liked the win probability chart, but my favorite part was the bullpen use table. I thought that was a very unique way to help think about tomorrow's game while still reviewing today's. Thanks for your work!

    This was the first game I attended this year. I sent the team an email back during spring training telling the Twins that if they really loved me, if they respected me at all, they would get into the playoffs, and that I wouldn't go to a game until they proved themselves. Good job, Twins. I love you, too.

    I'm feeling much better.

    El de la Pica!
  13. scottz
    Sure, but if you just limit them to only 4 game losing streaks, they still would have been at 75 wins.
  14. scottz
    We should be large supporters of Seattle, Houston, and Cleveland (except when we are playing them). Oh, and we also need to win both series against Detroit. Going 3-1 and 2-1 against Detroit gets us to 83 wins. My target is 84, but taking care of business with Detroit is key.

    Badoo is goodoo.

    I like the players weekend - in particular, I like the nicknames on the backs of the jerseys. It's fun to see names and hear/wonder about backstories for the less obvious ones.
  17. scottz
    If he's "just" fatigued or they are concerned about too many innings, skip every other start and turn those into bullpen games for the rest of the year, so you don't tax the arms of the other starters. If he's hurt, put him on the DL, and rehab him as appropriate.
  18. scottz
    Time to buy an Enns jersey. I've been buying a jersey for every pitcher the Twins have thrown out there this year. Don't worry, I have good equity built up on my home, and cash out refinancing makes sense.
  19. scottz
    You know who has to be Gibson.
  20. scottz
    Dick passing on a guess from someone on Twitter that it might have to do with confusing the fielder number 7 (left fielder Rosario) and batting order number 7 (Polanco). Not sure that makes sense either though.
  21. scottz
    That's a terrible explanation. If there was a miscommunication, and nothing had occurred yet to change the game from the time the switch was made, why would that miscommunication error have to stand as the "right" move?
  22. scottz
    Honest question: there isn't a limit on which two players can be involved in a double switch, is there?
  23. scottz
    I hope they get the batting order wrong next inning because then you'll really see some messed up rules depending on when Roberts notices the wrong batting order.
  24. scottz
    Dave Roberts probably corrects grammar on Twitter, too.
  25. scottz
    Signaled to the bullpen before he told the umpire he wanted to make the double switch is the guess but the video didn't support that.
