    Yes, I like that they are willing to do that as well. Overall, they have a new way of doing things and seem to be in touch with a more modern approach. I'm glad to see the change.

    I, personally, have actually been mostly happy with what the new FO has done. IMO, they have certainly made steps in the right direction. Keeping Molitor, for another example.

    Well, we only had 3 SPs who threw in triple digit innings for us last year, one of them had an FIP of 4.85 (ERA over 5.00 for the people who call that the results). We only had 5 SPs who threw more than 70 innings for us, one of them being a 44 year old pitcher who gave us a FIP of 5.31 and an ERA of 5.13. Of the 16 SPs who started for us, 11 had FIPs over 5.30. Of the five who were below a 5.30 FIP, three of them were above 4.45. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=8&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=16,d

    I love all the depth we have at the 5th spot in the rotation. Three guys on the MLB roster all deserving of the title with lots of depth in the minors that can fill the same spot. :-) Lest we forget the multiple pitchers that the excuse, 'Well for a #5 guy he's not bad'(or variations of the same theme) was used. That excuse SHOULD only be able to be used on one guy in a rotation at a time, but our depth makes it possible to use that excuse for bad performance by multiple pitchers. For years.

    These aren't blockbuster moves that are going to garner glitzy headlines. The Twins haven't signed Yu Darvish, and until something of that nature takes place, casual fans at large will probably not buy into the notion anything has really changed. These kind of comments make me chuckle. As if disagreeing with the premise makes one only a casual fan.

    The Republicans/Republican voters only care about politicians committing assault, harassment, etc when Democrats are doing it. Look who they elected President. Look at how they continue to back Moore. Doesn't matter what the Republicans do. They will continue to get voted in and/or not be forced out.

    yup, 3/38 is nothing for a FA signing nowadays. Of course,in Twins land, we think thats a big signing.
  10. jimmer
    the Republicans as a whole will vote for their guys regardless. Example one: the turd in the oval office who bragged about sexually assaulting women. Example two: Moore, a pedophile.

    exactly, though this year his FIP was quite larger than his xFIP (which normalizes for HR). The OF in Coors Field is huge too.
  12. jimmer
    me too. And the price is nice when one considers his away numbers and the cost of FA pitching in today's game.
  13. jimmer
    Rooker hasnt seen AA ball yet, has he? And only has 40 games outside of rookie ball?
  14. jimmer
    based on how much 1 WAR is worth.
  15. jimmer
    Last year, mauers performance was worth like 18M
  16. jimmer
    #5 Angels prospect is like a #15 prospect on a team with a decent farm system :-) Worst farm system in baseball.
  17. jimmer
    Johan and Justin will get into the Twins HOF. Two of the greatest Twins ever.

    To answer the question: Apparently NOT! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-votes-to-sharply-expand-concealed-carry-gun-rights/ar-BBGkfQ9?li=BBnb7Kz

    We wouldn't have made the playoffs without his contribution? How do you figure? I mean, technically, everyone who played made a contribution, so in that sense, sure. But his contribution was mostly about stinking up the joint almost the whole season. For as well as he pitched for a month down the stretch, also have to include how he did the rest of the time cause all games count the same during the season. There are plenty of pitchers who could have contributed like he did and we still get in. 71 SP in the AL had 150 more IP, he ranked 60th in FIP and WAR. For the ERA lovers, he ranked 64th. He was 85th in WHIP. He DID manage to get a lot of run support. 90 pitchers in baseball had 140 or more IP, he got the most run support: 6.62. Next highest was 6.21 (and that was the NL). The next highest in the AL was Cole Hamels and 6.13. And he got demoted.

    I'm guessing Santana gets between 10%-20%. Enough to stay on there, but never enough to get in. It's too bad the Mets messed him up (and continue to do the same with their pitchers)
  21. jimmer
    Like Gibson got the memo about his pitching in 2015, and Hughes got the memo about his pitching in 2014, and how Suzuki got the memo about his hitting in 2014? Remember Suzuki's mechanics fix, and Hughes fix cause of different pitch selection/grip and new home park? Here's to hoping (cause I love being wrong when it means good things happened to our team), but I said after the 2015 season that he was going to be a drain on our rotation for years to come and we should trade him now. I got slammed for my beliefs on him then too. I was told he had finally figured it out, he was living up to his draft pick, things like that. I'll continue to have people be exasperated that I can't see the light on him after having 5 very nice game against horrible offenses who were having lost seasons. As if that short sample size outweighs most of last season and all of 2016 (or, basically, his whole career minus 2015) and as if we know he'll stick to the changes (and that they'll continue to be effective). Most players at 30 are who they are.
  22. jimmer
    not to mention the 2016 season. His 2017 was practically a mirror image of his 2016.
  23. jimmer
    he had a good five game streak in there from mid August to mid Sept (4 games against the 12th, 13th and 15th scoring offense in the AL and then another against the lowest scoring team in baseball) Then his last three games we saw vintage Gibson: 17 innings pitched, 11 earned runs. Why are so many people convinced he finally turned it around (like when so. many said they were convinced he turned himself around after his 2015 season ended)?
  24. jimmer
    so, they are going to try and trade him? That should be interesting after he gets like 5M plus in arbitration.
  25. jimmer
    Did the Twins really tender Gibson a contract?
