    What?
  2. USAFChief
    "2 young pitchers"?? Pagan is 30 years old. 31 in a month. The "aging" Rogers is 31.

    There's certainly variability, based I believe on the small sample sizes. A bad outing or three will have an outsized impact on a reliever's numbers. But I do not believe that is the same thing as unreliable. I believe in good telievers going forward over bad no matter if they had a bad game. And I DON'T believe in "just a guy" relievers no matter their streak of luck. Relievers vary in quality just as much as starters do, And there are strong pens and weak ones, just as there are starting staffs.

    By fWAR. Which is a terrible way to measure pitchers, and a worthless way to measure relievers. You watched the Twins last year. Were they better than 20 other bullpens??
  5. USAFChief
    Projected by who?
  6. USAFChief
    Top 10 by fWAR, which is worthless. 19th by ERA. The Twins did not have a top 10 pen last year.
  7. USAFChief
    Boo.
  8. USAFChief
    Then why a nr1 pick for Sonny Gray? Why Correa? Why sign Bundy and Archer? Why Joe Smith? I don't think they're contending this year, but they're certainly not punting.
  9. USAFChief
    The Twins aren't taking Hosmer's contract. No chance.
  10. USAFChief
    I just can't see any scenario where the Twins deal Rogers. Doesn't make any sense.

    If a team claims Upton, they pay his contract. However, If Upton clears waivers and is released, any team subsequently employing him only pays him the MLB minimum. The Angels pay the rest of his contract. Zero chance he gets claimed. But I'd wager there's A HIGH percent chance he plays in the big leagues this season. I wouldn't be opposed to Upton as a 4th outfielder.
  13. USAFChief
    And catchers.
  14. USAFChief
    Wow, how did I miss Finley three times??
  15. USAFChief
    Not even once, according to this list: https://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats19.shtml#:~:text=Ed Crane was the first,you can pick up overnight. Four Twins have recorded four Ks in an inning though.
  16. USAFChief
    In addition to AIM's mention of Ryan still starting the opener, the other starters won't be affected. Friday was a scheduled off day, game 2 was always Saturday.
  17. USAFChief
    This is AFTER I've imagined--in the same game--the catcher getting injured and the other catcher in at DH. Seems to me like too much imagining to worry about.
  18. USAFChief
    And Kepler was in CF.
  19. USAFChief
    It's been widely reported for weeks now that San Diego is looking for OF help.
  20. USAFChief
    Looks like a 70-ish win team to me. Can't see this pitching staff holding up. Hope I'm wrong.
  21. USAFChief
    Yes.
  22. USAFChief
    No frigging idea. Mine is in the junk drawer, still in the little protective plastic bag. That's why I said that part was very important.
  23. USAFChief
    1. Drive to Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Husqvarna Outlet Store, or similar establishment. 2. Purchase appropriately sized chain saw. 3. Drive home. 4. NOW THIS PART IS VERY IMPORTANT...read instruction manual cover to cover. Maybe read safety parts a second time. 5. Cut down tree. Avoid standing on the downwind side as you're doing this. 6. Remove plastic bag. 7. Recycle said bag. You're welcome.
  24. USAFChief
    Been meaning to ask...who are you shaving your back into THIS year?
  25. USAFChief
    Don Baylor hit a HR in the 87 World Series. No reason not to keep trying the same ****.
