Byungho Park To Have Season-Ending Wrist Surgery
jimmer replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Presumably he was still dealing with the nagging hand and wrist injuries in the minors, yet his OPS was 140 points higher in the minors. And he's always been a strikeout machine, which seems to be his biggest problem anyway no matter where he's played. It's just that while playing against inferior talent (Korea and the minors), he was able to overcome it more than when playing against the very best (MLB). -
With runners on (presumably when he is in the stretch), he allows a .328/.386/.630 line against. His K/BB ratio drops 3 points (4.86 with bases empty 1.87 with men on base)

Another way to look at it, AL WAR rankings each year for 10 years. (2005-2014) plus a few accomplishments. 2005: 31st. 2006: tied for 4th (1st batting title ever for an AL catcher, All Star, Silver Slugger, 6th in MVP voting) 2007: tied for 28th 2008: 6th (2nd batting title ever for an AL catcher, All Star, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, 4th in MVP voting) 2009: 2nd (3rd batting title ever for an AL catcher, All Star, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, 1st guy in 30 years to lead AL in BA/OBP/SLG and first AL catcher to ever do it, MVP). 2010: 10th (All Star, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, 8th in MVP voting). 2011: 86th (only played half a season). 2012: tied for 10th (All Star, 19th in MVP voting) 2013: tied for 10th while only playing 113 games. Guy he tied with played 160. (All Star, Silver Slugger). Those were the pre-concussion years, mostly catcher years. That's 9 years of pretty great work and an average of 4.2 WAR with 6 out of 9 years being in top 10 in AL WAR. 2014: 82nd (post concussion, position switch).

Duffey should be gone too, but not to work on things. Because he's just not a major league quality starter. Berrios has the talent to be a #2 type pitcher.
-
That's an interesting yet warped idea of how to look at it. Take Mauer's 2009 where he was 4th in WAR and make it 39th. Your look kind of throws out the whole idea of consistent quality performance through a long time span, which is what the HOF should be about, IMO. Averaging 4.4 WAR over a 10 year span (which is what he did from 2005-2014) shows quality performance over a long period. That's averaging at an all star level over a 10 year span. But interesting nonetheless.
-
Mauer, from 2005-2013 (9 year span from his first full year to 2013 when he had an OPS of .880, his 3rd best of his career). 7th in the MAJORS in fWAR and 2nd in fWAR in the AL (to, um, PED enhanced ARod). .323/.406/.466 wRC+ of 134. 3 GG, 5 SS, 3 batting titles and an MVP (where he lead the league in BA/OBP/SLG% making him the first AL player in 30 years to do that) If you expand that to 2005-2014 (making it a 10 year span), he was still 7th in the majors in fWAR and still 2nd for the AL in fWAR. If you extend it to right now, so 2005-2016 (almost a 12 year span), 11th in the majors for fWAR, 6th in AL.

This thread died.
-
Hitless in his last 23 PA and has only one walk in that time frame. That's his previous 6 games and then this game.
-
not only did it bounce off the glove while the glove was in fair territory, it got deflected and STILL landed obviously fair. Cuzzi was born and raised as a Yankees fan, BTW.
-
Cuzzi made a conscious decision to make that call. No one could have made that call on accident, much less a MLB umpire.
-
When my baseball coaches got mad at the team for something, they would have four of us at a time run around the bases until someone caught someone. Starting point being each one on a base. They made sure to match the students closest in speed and if one player slacked off so he would get caught sooner, we all did it over again. Good times.

Defend those managers!
-
I find it funny how excited our announcers get when our guys made mostly routine plays. The bar is so low across the board.
-
I figured you were kidding and yeah, the other end of the spectrum is as bad as giving participation awards and not keeping score in a game so as to not hurt feelings.
-
thank you. and it's not like she made a good impression Monday night when I met her either.
-
I'd prefer a professional NOT choose to say it like that in a classroom to a bunch of kids that aren't her's.
-
My daughter's new 5th grade teacher told her class (full of 10 and 11 year olds), she doesn't want them turning in CRAPPY work.
-
Duffey sporting an ERA over 6. Wonderful.
-
I'll say it again: Batting Practice.
-
that flair was clearly a hit all the way. Too bad the runners/coaches didn't read it well.
-
Remarkable! Same things I said.:-) I said some things about Puckett too.
-
Dick: 'Dozier suddenly now having a really remarkable, good, solid season.' English is hard. :-)

batting practice.

Well, we have all the pot shots taken by some at fellow posters deemed too critical. Those are fun. -
Byungho Park To Have Season-Ending Wrist Surgery
jimmer replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Well, we HOPE that's the reason why he wasn't able hit well enough to stick. He had an OPS in the .800s this season in the minors. His main problem was striking out as has always been his problem including where he played before we got him.
