    Arcia will make the team as the 4th OFer, Santana will make the team as a utility player. Both are out of options.

    So a big improvement so far. Nice!

    I hope he disappoints you 40 times this year.

    Yup. The idea that velocity isn't important is pretty doubtful. I bet there are lots of pitchers out there with impeccable command and control of 70 MPH fastballs with movement, but they don't get to play professional baseball because velocity matters. Take any pitch at 89, make it 99, and it's harder to hit. Straight, not-straight, well located, or down the middle.

    Doesn't sentence one answer the question posed in sentence two?
  8. USAFChief
    No.

    I'm a fan, but IMO season one was great, and the subsequent seasons fell off. Still good, but the storyline was better when he was a congressman on the make. Haven't seen any of season four yet, hope it's back to season one level. I'll still watch no matter what, season two and three were good, just not at the same level for me.

    I still think it unlikely Trump is the R nominee.

    Huh...Mauer second, Sano third, Plouffe fourth, Rosario fifth, Park sixth. Long term plan, or spring training fluke?

    1. I would be surprised if many front offices rely on Fangraphs for their indispensable information. I presume they rely on themselves for the majority of it. 2. I would frame paragraph two more as "dig deeper into some theories about why certain players might over or under perform expectations." But even that is problematic. Which expectations? Mine? Yours? Their own? 3. I also think "add some possibly valuable additional metrics for evaluating players" might be more accurate. Describing "Fangraphs" in absolute terms, either as "rubbish" or "indispensible information" jumps the gun, IMO. Neither viewpoint has fact on their side.

    Son of a ... . He told me you were Seth.

    If you let me be the GM, the coach won't be worrying about either player.

    Weren't the Twins in the 3b dugout? Beresford doesn't have time to get to the first base side on a ground ball to the second baseman. Besides which, Benson needs no help on that play, he just needs to run. He let up when he though the second baseman wasn't coming home with the throw. A mistake, but not likely to be repeated, and not something he needed Beresford's help on. The on deck hitter can help when a throw is coming in from behind the runner and doesn't know if he needs to slide, or if so, on which side of the plate. Not on an infield groundball force situation.

    I could give a crap about Benson getting fooled into thinking the 2nd baseman wasn't coming home with the throw. It was a fluke, and not likely to be repeated. It's the kind of mental mistake that has no bearing on anything. Watching Rogers give up ropes (esp to LH hitters) was a lot more concerning to me. This is someone often pointed to as a potential bullpen piece. It's only the first outing of spring, so it's not a huge deal either, but in the long run, of way more importance than Benson's jog to home.

    She has been making a big deal of "we don't need to make America great again, we need to make America whole again," which is a direct reference to Trump's campaign.

    Game is also on MLB Network, for those of us out of town.
  19. USAFChief
    The right play was to keep Santana, put another 230 innings on his arm, and collect the two draft picks when he left. There were those of us who said so at the time.
  20. USAFChief
    Ish.
  21. USAFChief
    I laughed...sorta.
  22. USAFChief
    Request permission to use during regular season.
  23. USAFChief
    Winner. No...that's not right. WINNAH!!1! Spring training mistake.
  24. USAFChief
    Concur. I don't think Trump has any chance, and i certainly dont want him as president, but truth be told I'd vote for him before I'd vote for Cruz.
