    Span's last season with the Twins, he had a 3.4 WAR. Then he had a 3.4 WAR with the Nats his first year with them.

    When talking about firing Porter, Luhnow said: '"I recognize that our win-loss record is largely a product of an organizational strategy for which I am responsible," Luhnow said in a statement. "Rather, I made this decision because I believe we need a new direction in our clubhouse." Doesn't sound, at all, that Luhnow was taking the spotlight off his own mistakes.

    exactly. we shouldn't act like Gibson, Hughes, Perkins and May were HELPING this team before they got hurt. and, honestly, not sure how much Sano was either, when including his defense.
  4. jimmer
    I agree a ton with this.

    I'm a fan of Kepler, think he'll be a good MLB player, but before last night's game his OPS was about 100 points lower than how it finished last night. With such SSS it's hard to really do anything other than say he had a good game and hope he keeps it up.

    So I was coming out of my slumber yesterday in time to see Kepler stroke a ball to the OF. The stroke, along with him running, I thought they were showing a Morneau flashback.

    we'll see....

    Having enough good players that would actually be worth a high salary would be a good problem to have. I wouldn't assume that'd be the case, though. Right now, doesn't seem like we'll be close to having that problem

    In Arcia's 'Flukey' good season he had a BABIP below league average and during Santana's flukey season he had a BABIP more than 100 points higher than league average.

    Not to mention the speed leading to only 10 SB in 17 SB attempts. Pretty bad ratio. He is pretty fast from home to dugout, though.
  11. jimmer
    Good Arcia (2014) had a BABIP in the high 200s (below league average). Good Santana (2014) had a BABIP in the .400s (more than 100 points higher than league average).

    The last name of our catcher may be Murphy when we next make it to the W Series, but it won't be John Ryan Murphy.

    Santana was arguably the worst player in the majors last year amongst players who got any kind of regular time. And he'll likely get even more PAs this year. He already leads the league in caught stealing even though he's only attempted 17 steals. And he's not a good defender. The rope he's allotted because of numbers heavily boosted by a .400 BABIP in 2014 is incredible. Then again, look what the Twins did after Hughes and Suzuki had their 2014 season.

    Could just be that even really bad MLB hitters go on a good streak once in awhile. His BABIP in June is .361.
  15. jimmer
    well, we're talking minor league numbers for a player who has nowhere near enough MLB history to base anything on, but ok.
  16. jimmer
    Mets have the money to re-sign Walker if they want. And they have some interesting minor leaguers who could be knocking on the door as well.
  17. jimmer
    good stuff. right up there with too many quality MLB starters to put May in the rotation :-) At what point do the Twins just do this: Trade Plouffe and Dozier. Rosario in LF, Buxton in CF, Kepler in RF, Sano at 3B and Polanco at 2B.
  18. jimmer
    If someone thinks 179 PAs in the last 231 games isn't enough to say he was given a chance, I don't know what to tell them :-) And, come on, a season like this isn't the kind of season where you see what you got in a player, especially one with an OPS in the mid .700s (unaided by BABIP) just two seasons ago. These games matter! :-)
  19. jimmer
    yup, the whole team should switch now :-)
  20. jimmer
    that was very funny. some good humor this morning on here.
  21. jimmer
    That literally made me laugh out loud. Appreciate the funny.
  22. jimmer
    49 PAs in June, right? It's nice, but it's 13 games, no? Doesn't negate the 120 or so PA before that which could be generously described as horrific.
  23. jimmer
    it hasn't been worth much at all.
  24. jimmer
    Who would Suzuki back up? The dynamo he traded for last year who so many said was going to be an above average offensive and defensive catcher? :-)
  25. jimmer
    It all stems from poor roster construction that started with signing a 30 year old with no MLB experience and a current K rate over 33% to be our DH.
