    One might be in the pen ;-)

    My bad, I meant Milone. :-)
  3. jimmer
    Some are saying Milone is fine because he's our 5th starter. Fine. But I thought Nolasco was our fifth starter. Let's just say, we have a lot of options for 3rd-5th starter. At some point we have to look at the rotation and say some are bad for the spot in the rotation they are slotted. We can't just say these pitchers are okay cause they are our fifth starters. Only one guy can fill each spot in the rotation. And no, the talent in this rotation is not very good. I read that somewhere in here and, no. Not at all.

    Speaking just for myself, it's got nothing to do with Malone. I think going into the 2016 season, May could have been our second best starter, and perhaps our best starter. I'm not a big fan of pitchers with Malone's skill set, but he's managed to get results, so that's a good thing.

    I'm hoping we have enough good pitching. I don't think we do at all.

    Rosario hasn't proven he can have a .290 OBP even with a .332 BABIP. Hicks had .323 OBP with a .285 BABIP. Let's see what happens to the OBP of the impatient Rosario when his BABIP comes down.
  7. jimmer
    I think between Rosario and Hicks, Hicks has the better career.

    John Sickels goes out of his way to make a prediction like that. It was a good article. Good comments by Gleeman as well.

    I think it's important to remind people that regression isn't a positive or negative. A player who is normally very good and has a bad year is a perfect example of a regression candidate for the following year.
  10. jimmer
    I'm a huge Sano fan like most Twins fans, but if he maintains a .396 BABIP it'd be the highest career BABIP in the history of the game. I expect regression from Mauer could very well happen. Duffy is a prime candidate as stated.
  11. jimmer
    People were talking about Cervelli for quite some time. I, myself, have never written his name in here (or perhaps anywhere) until this post. So your irony comment is misplaced.
  12. jimmer
    Not sure how anyone can say Murphy is an acceptable long term catcher. He hasn't even had a full season yet. We don't know what he can do. We've seen what he can do in a nice hitters park with an unsustainable BABIP in a very short sample size , though.

    It's not my rule it's just the way it is for most players. Of course there are exceptions, there always are. Suzuki isn't that kind of player. He basically had a half of a good season in 2014 at age 30. No reason, at all, to believe that good first half of 2014 was sustainable going into 2015. It was especially obvious he wouldn't when he went back to being the player he had been in the 2nd half of 2014.
  14. jimmer
    Suzuki was just THIS close to becoming a HOFer just like Molitor :-) Just like Meyer will be awesome like HOFer Big Unit because they are both tall and because Unit took awhile to find his groove. HOFers are always great examples to look for norms.
  15. jimmer
    It's only a controversial point if you're trying to find some way to defend the course of action/inaction. A half season of quality offense by 30 year old Suzuki in 2014 that had already turned back to normal in the 2nd half? It doesn't take much to see he hadn't turned anything around.
  16. jimmer
    Ugh....
  17. jimmer
    yeah, I can see how it'd be bleep to think a catcher who is over 30 didn't magically turn it around offensively, especially when he already reverted back to normal in the 2nd half of his possible best season ever at age 30. This isn't a young player we're talking about. You can think it's bleep as much as you want. Players with a bunch of playing time don't usually maintain a year completely out of his recent normal offensive performance. Regression to the mean is an actual thing. A GM sure as heck shouldn't count on that VAST ONE YEAR improvement to continue and put all his eggs in that basket.
  18. jimmer
    Suzuki coming back to his normal self might have been the most predictable thing going on with the Twins heading into the 2015 season (that and Hughes doing the same). One didn't need hindsight to see either coming.
  19. jimmer
    Suzuki had a very good first half in 2014 and then went back to being the same guy he was in 2012 and 2013. Then he was the same guy in 2015. He took a step back to who he is as a hitter, not from what he normally is, and he still can't throw people out.
  20. jimmer
    I am serious. Since Mauer moved, we have been without a quality starting catcher. Trading for yet another backup catcher doesn't excite me. We now have three of those and no quality starter. We have never lacked for backup catchers. We need a starting caliber catcher. I would have gotten excited over that.
  21. jimmer
    yes, along with Suzuki. Who should be nothing more than a backup.
  22. jimmer
    We've had backup catcher covered for quite some times. Years in fact :-)
  23. jimmer
    This is an interesting if not premature exercise. I imagine IF (BIG IF) any of our players end up being worth of a massive contract, it will be Sano and I imagine it will be done by whomever replaces TR.

    Cuddyer gave his all, was a team player, got the most out of his talent, and was well liked. I enjoyed watching him use that arm in RF.

    Why would the Yankees fans care about what Girardi said about a guy they traded? Have you ever heard a manager dog out a traded prospect?
