    maybe there will be a nice sturdy wooden board to float on.
  2. jimmer
    A 1-2 of him and Berrios with Santana at number three when he comes back. THAT starts to make this rotation look promising.
  3. jimmer
    I definitely believe Archer is the better pitcher. For me, there's no doubt. And he is younger too.
  4. jimmer
    Let me rephrase. We'd be getting a better pitcher. But yeah, what it would cost in prospects probably doesn't make it the better than just spending the money.
  5. jimmer
    Getting Archer would be better than signing Darvish!
  6. jimmer
    So the same strategy we have every year.
  7. jimmer
    His FIP was up a half run as was his xFIP. His Ks were slightly down and his BABIP was very low while his LOB% was very high. Yeah, lucky, but part of that luck was due to the quality D behind him.
  8. jimmer
    Like developing quality starters and/or using prospects to trade for quality starters?
  9. jimmer
    Why would we want Odorizzi? Odorizzi. 143 IP last year. 7.97 K and 3.83 BB per 9 IP. Had a ridiculous and likely unsustainable babip of .227. Had a FIP of 5.43 and an xFIP of 5.10. Had a fWAR of 0.1. He has gotten worse in each of his last two seasons in practically every meaningful way.
  10. jimmer
    Not to mention there is no way they sign both.
  11. jimmer
    The goalposts keep being moved. Every time we go into an offseason, we read people who constantly defended the organization say 'well, if THIS offseason they don't do anything to truly address the rotation as it needs to be, THEN I'll complain' Then the team's lack of doing anything meaningful to address THE major concern we've had for years once again gets defended or even lauded as the right move after all, or as no biggy. And with Santana out for awhile, our rotation is even worse. It gets old. I understand this is a new FO, and it has done some things to help the bullpen as needed, but the rotation is just as much in shambles and nothing has been done, and two days from now, pitchers and catchers report. Maybe we sign a #3 or #4 type to add to our ever growing list of uninspired options. These kind of moves don't get it done. And it's not like I ever thought we'd get Darvish, that's not my point. NOTHING has been done. But then, I'm sure NEXT offseason, they'll really address the rotation. Just wait...
  12. jimmer
    Oh boy...
  13. jimmer
    we'll see.
  14. jimmer
    I'd sign Buxton to an extension right now. I'd go eight years.
  15. jimmer
    I'm not sold on the idea we need to sign Sano to a long term contract. I'd wait till the offseason before his last with us.
  16. jimmer
    Twins pitchers and catchers report Tuesday. We've done zip a dee doo dah to address the rotation. Which they desperately needed to do even before losing Santana for perhaps up to 20% of his starts.
  17. jimmer
    And Preston Wilson thinks Trout is the 3rd best CF in baseball.Which is weird since there is only one player that may challenge him for best player in baseball and he doesn't play CF.
  18. jimmer
    Bill James has Buxton as the 8th best overall CF in baseball.
  19. jimmer
    It came up because someone mentioned signing people to long contract is a bad idea because of players slacking off after they get the contracts and Mauer was used as an example.
  20. jimmer
    He's asking about his contract in regards to length not cost. Read what you wrote and how he responded.
  21. jimmer
    His BABIP in 2013 was .383, yeah high, but he'd seen it in the .370s before, he'd seen it over .360 a few times and over .340 multiple times. .383 wasn't out of nowhere. And as far as him slapping balls. His ISO was 153 (his 3rd best ever). His slg% was his 2nd best ever. Both higher than they were in 2010. His wRC+ was his 2nd best of his career.
  22. jimmer
    same thing we do every year? :-)
  23. jimmer
    It's like falling back on the notion that no one wants to play here. Feeds the inferiroity complex some like to adopt and gives us a fall back excuse why this team never signs top notch FAs. It's just as likely players are looking at this team and, regardless of our record last year, thinking this team isn't really ready to be true contenders.
  24. jimmer
    Yeah, this rotation is bad. Like it was in 2017.
  25. jimmer
    Mauer was having well on his way to having his 2nd best season of his career in 2013 before he got hurt. This was after having a great bounce-back season in 2012. His decline didn't start in 2011. Anyone watching him play could see that.
