    Bryant has a wRC+ of 160, Arenado is at 124. Bryant has him in each part of the slashline and Bryant can play/has played multiple positions well, which has value. Again, I'm more of a fan of Arenado than Bryant, and would love if he got MVP, but Holliday lost out to Rollins for goodness sakes and Tulo never won one, so I doubt we're going to see a Rockies MVP any time soon.

    There were like 3 whole threads created for the sole purpose of slamming 'negative posters'. Maybe that'd be a good place to do that instead of hijacking a thread where Nick wrote some things about this team to discuss?

    but he still managed to boost his OPS by 140 points while playing in the minors?

    I might be the biggest Arenado fan on this site, with the Rockies being my 2nd favorite team. I'd still go with Bryant. My #2 would be Seager, actually.

    Well, he did quote the great philosopher, Obi-Wan (lines written by the well known writer of dialogue, George Lucas, to prove a point :-) Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche and Obi Wan Kenobe.

    AL MVP: Altuve AL CY: Kluber AL ROY: Fullmer NL MVP: Bryant NL CY: Jose Fernandez (unless Kershaw comes back real soon); ROY: Seager (easiest pick). P.S. It's been fun to see the Verlander of old (or at least very close to it).

    Yeah, Hughes had one outlier season and TR jumped all over it. His fall back to reality in 2015 was predictable. In fact it was predicted. And the Sano decision was horrible from the on-set and it failed for all the reasons given before he ever stepped foot out there for a game.

    I'm curious why everyone is rushing to say Park's problem in the majors was his injury. Did he not have the same injury while posting an OPS in the .820s in the minors?

    Eventually teams, like players, revert back to what they are.

    not only that, but your articles are most often very much on the optimistic side as well. So once in awhile, your articles are less than optimistic and you get slammed for it? Some people on here don't want to face reality.

    All we need to do is talk about rainbows, unicorns and Santa Claus and, for some, all will be well in the forums and Twins territory in general.
  12. jimmer
    Um, er, ummmmmmm.

    I like to approach topics and ideas from a realistic point of view. Like to face it head on. Let's me enjoy the good baseball times even more when they arrive.

    Well, one of the realities is this: In four of the last five full seasons the Twins have lost at least 92 games. After a season off from that futility (at least record-wise), we are now looking at a very real possibility of finishing with triple digits losses. Is there any way my attitude and mind set will change that?

    Park was a bad idea for multiple reasons. Logjam at the spots he plays, Sano is moved to RF in part because of him joining the team, and of course his main problem: tons of strikeouts. It was his problem in Korea, his problem in the majors, and his problem in AAA. He managed to produce in spite of them in AAA and Korea (in other words, inferior talent).but against the best competition (MLB), he couldn't. It was an injury stopping him in the majors but he managed an OPS 140 points higher in AAA? Bad, bad call. And the dominoes fell.

    The position players that score so many runs are also the ones playing defense. The 2nd worst defense in baseball.
  17. jimmer
    3 times on base for Joe
  18. jimmer
    Ah, Gibson...there he is.
