    Mike Trout is already 1/3 of the way to Babe Ruth in WAR, and just turned 26... so.. Hi.
  2. alarp33
    Well his bWAR is top 10 in the AL amongst position players, even with the disastrous start to the season. I think it's a valid question. I think beginning next season he can certainly be in the mix of players who have a chance to win MVP if Mike Trout gets hurt again

    If that was the case my bad, I thought it was someone trying to blame the trade on Rogers giving up a run last night
  4. alarp33
    Rogers has pitched 6 and 2/3 innings since Kintzler was traded, and given up 2 ER. 2.70 ERA, well below his season ERA Let's stop with the blatantly false hyperbole. It's very easy to look these numbers up
  5. alarp33
    But the early extensions for 30 year olds have worked so well for the Twins and Glen Perkins / Phil Hughes!

    I'm all for trying to win in 2018, and agree with your post on having to work within the budget. Extending Dozier now and potentially giving him a raise on what he is due in 2018, eats into that budget - when you desperately need relievers and 1-2 starters. I'd roll the dice and let it play out

    Brian Dozier is not a Free Agent, he is under contract for 2018

    Huh??? The Twins have only lost 8 games in August. 3-0 Berrios 4-1 Mejia 4-1 Gibson 12-11 *blown save 8-1 Colon 9-3 Gibson 7-6 Melville 4-3 *blown in 8th - Kintzler would not have pitched in 8th, likely would not have pitched 9th either as Molitor would've held him for Save Opp Losing pitcher listed next to each game. You'll notice the Starting Pitcher lost 6 of the 8.

    No sir (he didn't get a hit either)

    Robbie Grossman has 2 at bats this season with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. If you were curious in real stats; Grossman has hit .356/.500/.556 over 58 plate appearances in "High Leverage" situations
  11. alarp33
    .435, .186, 93, 99... those are the career numbers in case you missed them. He's 27 btw
  12. alarp33
    Robbie Grossman has been a significantly more valuable offensive player than Vargas, that is why they play him at DH
  13. alarp33
    Wait you think teams seek out players with low OBP's who also can't field a position?
  14. alarp33
    From a DH only with an OBP struggling to hit the .300 mark? No, most teams would not take that.
  15. alarp33
    Well for one his OBP being below .300 this year, and barely above .300 for his career. I'm curious where you pulled 34 HR from? He's never hit that many in any season at any level, including being given the opportunity to mash AAA pitching as a 27 year old. If anything Vargas is highly overrated by a segment of fans. What has he done to be given any sort of permanent role? His slugging numbers are nothing special, he strikes out a good amount, doesn't have a position, and doesn't take walks.

    You are using hindsight, come on. They wanted to win the game and Monday, Melville had been pitching well in AAA and had pitched in MLB before, and was a better match-up vs the Sox. They didn't know/ expect Melville to last 3.1 innings! Of course they could've used someone else if they could see into the future

    Honest question. How many starters do you expect them to have at their disposal, that all fit your criteria of needing to be better than average at AAA in order to spot start for the MLB team? None of these starters were available to pitch instead of Melville Gibson Santana Berrios Gee Hughes Mejia Colon Enns Slegers Santiago

    He started 1 game! What are you talking about contributing at ML level beyond replacement level value, they didn't sign him to a multi year deal What numbers has Gonsalves shown at AAA support he would've contributed at the Major League level beyond replacement level**? ** vs a team that feasts on lefties.

    He was an option. Melville has been his equal or even better in AAA, and a RHP made more sense against the White Sox lineup. Seems like a non story for me, except everyone (understandably) wants to see what Gonsalves is all about

    alarp33 replied to DaveW's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    Probably the only other option. Would I have preferred to see Gonsalves? Probably. But like I posted earlier in thread, the White Sox hit lefties much better than righties. Good argument to be made they thought Melville gave a better chance to win one game. Hardly a decision to be too angry about.

    What does this mean? They pitched Slegers in the doubleheader on Thursday? When would you have held him back?
  22. alarp33
    He's under contract for 2018 already. You can bring him back, trade him at the deadline if the team tanks, sign him to an extension mid season, or give him a qualifying offer after the season.
  23. alarp33
    Yeah I read that as well. I think its only 21 teams he has on his no trade, probably a certainty the Twins are one of those 21, but I'm not sure Verlander would be any more attainable or likely to waive his no trade to come here.
  24. alarp33
    One name I haven't seen mentioned, likely because he's equally unattainable (no trade to 21 teams) is Jeff Samardzijia. What would you prefer, Samardzijia (3 years, $59 million) or Verlander (2 years, $56 million).
  25. alarp33
    Who's they? Plenty of prospect evaluators thought Berrios was a #3 starter, plenty think Gonsalves is a #3 starter? There certainly is one out there who likes Gonsalves the prospect more than Berrios the prospect (not me for what it's worth)
