    Just curious... how big of reach was Noah Syndergaard at 38 in 2010?
  2. alarp33
    Gotcha. Yeah he hasn't been a 200 inning per year guy, but there are injuries starting to pop up, and he's about to start his 10th season in the majors. Some mileage on him for sure. Yeah Gibson had a stress fracture his junior year, but it didn't affect his innings pitched, he started 15 games and threw over 100 inning

    What am I missing here - isn't this Hughes age 31 season? Why do we keep looking at through age 28 numbers? Also - Gibson didn't miss time in college with his stress fracture, it was right before the draft
  4. alarp33
    Yup I get that, but he's still likely behind Rogers, Breslow, Pressley and Belisle in the "just need a couple of outs" race... so the question is... how many damn relievers do you need?
  5. alarp33
    Right, Tonkin is another option that could be used for more than 1 inning. Barring a totally unforseen scenario, like starters lasting 1 inning on back to back days... there will be at least 1 pitcher, possibly more, who are hardly used in the 1st 2 weeks
  6. alarp33
    You never need 2 long men, especially with 2 off days in the 1st 8 days of the season. I don't know why people are so willing to believe this organizations propoganda
  7. alarp33
    7 pitchers made starts last April. 5 of the 7 averaged 5 and change innings or less per start. They still used basically 7 relievers. Berrios 1 start 4 innings Santana and Milone each had 4 starts 20 innings Duffey 2 starts 10.1 innings Gibson 4 starts 20.2 innings You don't need 8 relievers ever, let alone in April with the early off days. Ps; Haley does count if he's on the 25 man roster
  8. alarp33
    The Twins have 2 off days in the 1st 8 days of the season. 8 relievers are not necessary What evidence are you basing this off of? To give you an example, last year the Twins played 24 games in April. 1 game lasted 16 innings 1 game lasted 12 innings 1 game lasted 10 innings 1 game lasted 6 innings. They had 7 relief pitchers who were used for more than 2 innings in April. They are carrying 8 right now, including 1 (Duffey) who they want to keep stretched out (multiple innings)
  9. alarp33
    Back to back posts, 1 where your assertion is its cold so lots of pitchers are needed (even though there are two off days in the 1st 8 days), and then the 2nd post says you can't hit home runs if its cold.
  10. alarp33
    Good thing the games in April don't count as much as the games in May-September
  11. alarp33
    I really really want to believe you. I'm not sure that I do though
  12. alarp33
    Only a 49 wRC+ and .567 OPS in his last 525 PA but thank God he has so much positional flexibility (ie; he owns multiple gloves)
  13. alarp33
    I would hate to find out what a player looks like who can't "hit a little" or "play adequate defense" if we're attaching both of those labels to Santana
  14. alarp33
    Yeah, I would hate for the Twins to derail the development of another young left hander by starting him off in a bullpen clean-up for a year or two... (For the record I am totally kidding, and not calling Mejia the next Santana)
  15. alarp33
    What does this mean? It's January
  16. alarp33
    Buddy Boshers? Huh?
  17. alarp33
    One was the last month, not the 1st. Since this is about "Most Improved" I just found the reasoning to pick Vargas to be odd
  18. alarp33
    Vargas had one good month. From Aug 1 to end of season Vargas hit .163/.252/.380 He is a designated hitter, not a gold glove caliber center fielder. If that's forcing his way into the 2017 picture, that says more about the state of the organization than anything he did
  19. alarp33
    It might take more work, but couldn't that be seen as a positive (assuming Pohlad gives complete control and a budget thats plenty big)? A total blank slate to work with
  20. alarp33
    My point is I think we are seeing the exact same Rosario we saw in April / May, with a lot better luck. I don't think anything was fixed in Rochester, as he's still allergic to walks and swings at everything. I guess it depends how much you believe plate discipline can be learned at the MLB level, for whether you think he will be a solid starter going forward.
  21. alarp33
    He has a 3.8% BB rate and .387 BABIP since returning from Rochester. Resurrected? Not so much
  22. alarp33
    I'm not sure what this question means exactly, but I doubt the Twins, no matter who is named GM, are trading for any of those players. Harper and Fernandez are both FA in 2 years, so no I wouldn't trade Buxton (and the many other pieces required) for them.
  23. alarp33
    Why would you worry about that? What in his past has suggested he would trade a 2nd year guy who oozes with potential but maybe hasn't fully realized it yet?
  24. alarp33
    The Wells trade is good example. But there really isn't a comparison though for giving up a 4 war Center Fielder (with 5 years of control), 1st overall pick in the most recent draft, and a top 100 pitching prospect, for a guy who at best is a #2 starter with 3 years of control left.
  25. alarp33
    I don't know, Swanson was literally the #1 pick in the draft 5 months before this trade. They also gave up a top 100 pitching prospect AND Ender Inciarte. There were articles written at the time that argued 5 years of Inciarte was worth more than 3 years of Miller... completely ignoring Swanson and Blair. I get the overall point you are trying to make in your last paragraph here about timelines, I'm just disagreeing with the notion that the Diamondbacks are a good comparison. The Twins aren't hiring Larussa and Stewart who are so far over their heads.
