    I don't see how adding Odorizzi/Sanchez suddenly makes us deep in pitching.
  2. USAFChief
    he went to Houston fairly cheaply.
  3. USAFChief
    the obvious question: have Falvine done much of anything to improve spots 5-16? It requires a leap of faith to conclude they have.
  4. USAFChief
    I think it’s pretty clear Tampa mgt is under a mandate to lower payroll. Odorizzi and Dickerson cost too much. Sad.
  5. USAFChief
    Good start. Now something for the top.
  6. USAFChief
    Fair enough, good points. I do concur front offices are likely using their own internal evaluation tools.
  7. USAFChief
    Well, not all of us agree RBI are a worthless stat. I would characterize WAR that way, though. Or nearly so.
  8. USAFChief
    Which one are you going with?
  9. USAFChief
    They are particularly intrigued by the monetary analytic, is my guess.
  10. USAFChief
    I ninja’d you.
  11. USAFChief
    It’s also possible the agent said “I probably can’t get the AAV of the QO, but I can get you four years at something close to it. Otherwise we’re back doing this next year.”
  12. USAFChief
    The clip had nothing to do with it. And yes, we know.
  13. USAFChief
    It’s a 40 man spot that now wont go to an acquisition that can help the Twins. THIS is the plan for one rotation spot. Make no mistake. If (when) he’s cut during spring, there goes the rotation upgrade.
  14. USAFChief
    Did you get your passport in a timely manner?
  15. USAFChief
    How is this not bad? This is, right now, the only starting pitching move they’ve made.
  16. USAFChief
    No they did not. And Garret Cole could realistically be slotted in to start game two, right behind Darvish, with Berrios at three, and Santana at 4 by ?mid-May? We get Kyle Gibson game 2.
  17. USAFChief
    Darvish and Cole would not have required signing two of Cobb, Lynn, Arrieta, and Darvish. They needed to add two legit starters, in my book. And Darvish/Cole was doable. Very doable. I was hoping they were going to actually be players, for a change. I was foolish, I guess.
  18. USAFChief
    How many times are we going to hear that. And they needed 2 legit starters. Say...Darvish and Cole.
  19. USAFChief
    The money not being guaranteed is an indication even the Twins don’t think much of his chances to help. Zero risk?? The 2018 season is at risk. Awful. I have not t been impressed with Falvine, and this is another data point in my opinion, which continues to drop.
  20. USAFChief
    Concur with above, great article. One point: Is it me, or is it rather telling they feel the need to offer a giveaway on the home opener? Shouldn't that already be a sellout?
  21. USAFChief
    Just my opinion, but entering the season with that staff is basically throwing up a white flag. That is not a staff capable of competing. Ever.
  22. USAFChief
    You want us to admit we were wrong if Darvish gets hurt in 2018, right? Why would Darvish getting hurt make it wrong to want to sign him? There’s no possible way to know, today, if he will get hurt this year. No more so than any pitcher. So if he does, that will have no bearing on whether or not it was a good idea to sign him. So the answer to your original question is “no.” I don’t expect anyone to “admit”they were wrong, nor should they.
  23. USAFChief
    But is he in the best shape of his life?
  24. USAFChief
    Is it your contention that Falvine know he’s injured? Because otherwise, there would be no reason to admit being wrong about Darvish if he gets injured in 2018. Is it your contention Falvine know he’s going to be healthy but have a subpar 2018? If so, why would they offer him over $100m?
  25. USAFChief
    how often does that work? Don’t need exact numbers, a ballpark estimate is fine. Also...are they usually stale by that point? Edit: asking for a friend
