    I'm curious what exactly you expected him to say? "Yeah Dozier really sucked this year which in turn made our team a non contender and took away any value he may have had" I'm guessing he also woud've been ripped on here by the folks who thought a 7-10 game deficit to Cleveland was nothing had he not spoken publicly

    Looks like they forgot Alcala? Who I assume would rank highest of all prospects the Twins received
  3. alarp33
    Because you said so?
  4. alarp33
    You think Dozier would’ve turned down a QO??
  5. alarp33
    Maybe they want to exercise his 2019 option?
  6. alarp33
    Meh, it probably just means they aren't going to rush Gordon (good) and aren't going to start Motter each night at 2B (good)
  7. alarp33
    Agree on all counts
  8. alarp33
    Tyler Austin?

    I think that's the question lots of Cardinals fans have been asking. You can google around and find articles on his tenure in STL.... it was not good. He was a horrible in game manager, alienated players in the clubhouse, didn't mesh with / play younger prospects players. FWIW the Cardinals hadn't fired a manager in over 20 years and they canned him with an over .500 record, that should tell you all you need to know

    Matheny was a horrible manager. Like very very bad

    Like the sweep in KC? I'm a big fan of everything Mauer has done for this franchise, but you know what was a punch in the gut? Losing 11 of 12 to end April, or losing 7 of 8 to end May, or losing 11 of 13 to end June/start July. Would've been great if this team showed emotion like being hurt or mad during any of those losing streaks that torpedoed the season

    It’s a salary dump, in which the Twins ate salary, and they got an interesting 19yo. Ok, not sure that’s what salary dump means

    Hits RH and is a potential option at DH/1B. I like it
  14. alarp33
    Yeah I should have put in the qualifier that I didn’t research much, just wasn’t on the one list I checked. At best he was a borderline top 100 guy
  15. alarp33
    That’s fine, I’m just pointing out let’s just call him untouchable then, because he is not bringing back a haul like that. No chance
  16. alarp33
    Sonny Gray was 27, had a higher peak, an extra year of control... and didn’t return a top 100, let alone the 2+ you are asking for. Is he the perfect comp? No, but I don’t know how the Twins would get much more than that. It’s ok to demand a haul, and not trade him if you don’t get it. But let’s stay in reality

    This was literally in the quoted section I replied too; "I already know the odds were 8%-12%,"
  18. alarp33
    To be fair, you are ignoring the Fangraphs projection model because the other 2 models on Fangraphs support your narrative more. 1.6% needs to be included if you want to throw out absolutes like "I know the odds were 8-12%"
  19. alarp33
    You are referencing 8% coin flip odds. What does it matter if Presley is on the team or not for those odds? If I'm understanding the coin flip odds correctly, it's not based on player projections or performance. So having Casey Fien or Ryan Presley wouldn't make a difference. The odds that include projections based on the actual roster were 1.2% on the Friday the trade was completed. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the 8% you keep referencing.
  20. alarp33
    Last year the games to be made up were far less, and the team that was being chased was FAR worse
  21. alarp33
    2% is 2%, 2 out of 100. You are intentionally being disingenuous with numbers when you try to say "25%". Presley had 8 "shut down" performances for the Twins this year, and 11 "meltdowns". So because a website compared him to Chapman, Hader or Diaz are you ignoring the actual performance he's provided this year, and his entire career?
  22. alarp33
    I wish I could like this twice.. it's like people have completely forgot how terrible this baseball team has looked the vast majority of the season. I can't believe we're bringing out the pitchforks that a team who hadn't been at .500 since April 22 decided to trade 2 average players, 1 of which was a pending free agent, the other of which received a pretty damn nice return for 1.2 years of service
  23. alarp33
    You keep throwing this number out there like it's super meaningful, without acknowledging the fact that trading Escobar, adding Sano in his place.. trading Pressley, adding Moya in his place, realistically only lowered your 8.4% to what, 5-6%? It did not go from 8.4% to 0.0%
  24. alarp33
    What? Last years team may have out performed their peripherals but they won 85 games, no one has taken that away. This years team may be better than its record indicates, but unfortunately the record is all that matters when determining post season teams. It’s great that you were so impressed by the 4 game winning streak, but all that winning streak did was bring them within 5 games of .500
  25. alarp33
    That was preceeded by a sweep at the hands of the Royals. You can try to put lipstick on a pig all you’d like, but the record and standings don’t lie
