    Lot season between now and that outcome. More likely that he regresses to the mean and ends up a lot closer to Sano's last couple full season average of 32 home runs or if you'd like to translate 2020 over a full season the 35 home runs that would have been. Any improvement over even average Sano will end up being nominal.

    We had Dave Kingman. We use to call him Miguel Sano. We now call him Joey Gallo.

    Mid June is right in the rear view mirror.

    Advanced analytics are an excellent way of predicting the past.
  5. dxpavelka
    Have to assume that some of the improvement in our pitching, especially the starting pitching, can be attributed to him but also can't ignore an OPS barely over .500 when the rest of the lineup is scuffling and the other guy is pushing .900

    The Dyson trade wasn't a win but it wasn't really a loss either. Gave up Jaylin Davis. Pretty sure our fortunes were not negatively impacted by losing him. Fun fact about the Garcia trade: He won more games as a Twin that year than he did as a Yankee. Seems nobody but me wants to call out the Berrios trade. Yeah, I know, I know. His numbers in Toronto this year and last don't scream "a guy we should have kept." But saying he would have done here what he did there is just lazy. And he WAS rock solid for Toronto down the stretch that first year. I said when we made that deal that with any luck we'd need to trade for a similar guy a year hence. And sure enough a year later, the Mahle deal.

    He is what he's been since he got here. Don't let analytics allow you to doubt what your eyes see.
  8. dxpavelka
    A failed trade necessitated by another failed trade a year prior.

    Sucks but better to have Ober and Varland waiting in the wings than a whole lot of other dregs we'd have had waiting over the last decade plus.

    Solano's not the solution because he's not good at baseball. He's Jake Cave / Kyle Garlick. Guys that if you have them on your team youre not a good team. Nice enough guys. They'll get a big hit every once in a while and do enough to excite a small portion of the fan base but if you don't have better players that you can count on, you're not going far.

    FUNDER

    Solano might not be the problem but doesn't appear to be the solution either.

    Memories of late 70s slugging prospect Mark Funderburk. Kinda got passed by Kent Hrbek.
  14. dxpavelka
    The only surprise here is that this might be considered surprising. Would love to know what percentage of the fan base, when he was signed, reacted with "WHO?"
  15. dxpavelka
    We continue to overlook the most important aspect with the whole "robo ump" issue. We see the "strike zone" on the screen and think we have it all figured out. We don't. Look at the strike zone on the screen and then pick up a rule book. Not even close to where the real strike zone is. The top of the zone the they show us is BELOW the belt of most batters. Don't know a hitter alive that wouldn't love for that to be the case. It's not.

    Bottom line is we let Rosario go and our production in the spot he vacated has not been to the level it was before he left. Spin that any way you like but the production has NOT been there. And sure, we can look at what his production has been elsewhere and ATTEMPT to spin that into what his production would have been here since he left. Fact is we don't know what he would have done had he stayed here. Nor do we KNOW what Kirilloff would have done had he stayed healthy. AND if we want to base an analysis on what he HAS done since he left, he HAS been to the post-season both years. Us, not so much. Maybe that don't mean much to you but it does to me. I tend to look beyond the bottom line analytic stuff at thing that analytics can't measure. Rosario brought heart to the table. Can we measure that? NO! Can we see it. NO. But you know what we CAN see. We can see when it's missing. Like when a team goes from the division lead to 10 games back in the last month of the season.

    The biggest thing holding Ryan back from reaching his fullest potential is his reluctance to go back to the Tim Lincecum hair.
  18. dxpavelka
    What's a shining moment in the post-season?
  19. dxpavelka
    Especially with Larnach in St. Paul.
  20. dxpavelka
    All of that and Larnach & Kiriloff have still not produced.
  21. dxpavelka
    Sucks to contemplate but MAYBE the reason they don't play like a championship team is because they are not a championship team. At the end of the year only one of those will exist. Real good chance that most teams aren't it.
  22. dxpavelka
    Wouldn't be the first guy to have Twins fans long for his departure and take years to adequately replace. STILL waiting for Larnach & Kiriloff to reach the level Rosario was at before he left.
  23. dxpavelka
    Meanwhile, he's STILL not here.
  24. dxpavelka
    We're making a lot of assumptions about a guy we've never seen play CF as compared to a guy that we HAVE seeb play CF who has played three times as many games in CF as the guy we've never seen AND has played it reasonably well. Not to mention a strong arm in right tends to be a strong arm in center as well.
  25. dxpavelka
    If we're gonna question Gallo in right I don't know that I'd even think about center.
