    WAR, like most analytics, is a made up number that is what it is because someone says it is.
  2. dxpavelka
    Brian Cashman is going on a decade and a half. Could change at any point. So could our fortunes. Not gonna win it every year. Just need that one magical year where everything goes right. Changing anything or everything or some combination in between guarantees nothing except gives folks new folks to bitch about.

    Braves are a superior team because their lineup is scattered with players with heart. Players who produce above and beyond what the "analytics" say they should produce. We don't have that .
  4. dxpavelka
    and yet his team is 20 games over .500
  5. dxpavelka
    Obviously someone sees things differently.
  6. dxpavelka
    How would one go about distinguishing a black hole from the rest of this lineup?
  7. dxpavelka
    HEART and SOUL. Thank God. Been saying the same thing since the day they cut him loose. No analytic for it. They've never replaced what he does that can't be measured. Joe Ryan was a great return but trading Nelson Cruz a hundred games after dumping Eddie only magnified what we lost when we lost Rosario. You think your comment is gonna get jumped on wait until you hear me mention that this team has not been the same offensively since Miguel Sano left the lineup either. Easily verifiable. Three guys who could carry the team on their shoulders ala Kirby of old. Guys in the current lineup who seemingly can do that? Nobody. You laid out Eddie's numbers above. OUR LFs have the worst OPS in the big league. But maybe I fret too much. Gallo's almost near the Mendoza line. AND he's missed enough games that he's not likely to break the team strikeout record.

    Difference is that Eddie hits some of what he swings at....
  9. dxpavelka
    And yet the fact that both are in St. Paul would seem to suggest that somebody feels differently.
  10. dxpavelka
    Seems highly unlikely we will be able to change what has already happened. Seems highly possible that we can achieve different results going forward. The history of the game is literally littered with such.
  11. dxpavelka
    The difference is he produces.

    Meanwhile, Eddie Rosario..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

    See if you can bring Matt Garza with you to pitch out of the bullpen.
  14. dxpavelka
    He's a streaky hitter and most likely will hit a hot streak again. This team would be 3-5 games under .500 without him.
  15. dxpavelka
    The prospects we need to be concerned with are Kiriloff & Larnach. Short, early answer is no. Hope that changes. HOPE is not a strategy.
  16. dxpavelka
    Plenty of value from Buxton just hitting. If he was playing CF his value would be a LOT more than we're paying him.
  17. dxpavelka
    Another change in the game that's not for the better.

    You named the problem without knowing it. 13 man roster. Why the hell does a ball team need more than 7 relief pitchers?
  20. dxpavelka
    Actually those look a lot like Brent Rooker's numbers.
  21. dxpavelka
    Twins LFs: Worst OPS in MLB.
  22. dxpavelka
    Rosario gone for almost three years and still no adequate LF replacement.
  23. dxpavelka
    Actually his path to the Twins is very clear. Get / stay healthy and don't suck.
  24. dxpavelka
    Tough to be a fun team to watch when the most entertaining player you've developed in a generation, who has hit 30 home runs in his last 600 plate appearances, is sitting in San Pedro de Macoris.
  25. dxpavelka
    It's the manager's job to put the player HE HAS in position to succeed. He doesn't have the players he once had.
