    YYYYEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    My guess is that Perez would make it before Harper. Seems like a reasonable list, though.

    Romo has been a Major League pitcher for 12 years. He might might stop fooling hitters by retiring.

    FWIW, I think you gave a well reasoned contribution to the topic. The Twins are at least going to get close to 100 wins, and they’re going to do so with relatively few injuries. Is there a direct line to be drawn between rest and fewer injuries? Maybe and maybe not, but logically one seems likely to follow the other. There is, however, a direct line between talking to the players daily and knowing how they (say they) feel. There is no such line for those of us watching on TV. I’m not sure why that’s controversial.

    I’m willing to bet there is evidence that teams don’t release to the public. In lieu of that possible evidence, it’s simply basic logic to say in the aggregate, fewer innings played translates to fewer injuries. It’s such a bizarre thing to think otherwise.
  6. prouster
    The alternative reading is that teams more readily use the IL these days, partly because it’s only a ten day list, and partly because they actually invest in their minor league systems. Your reading also doesn’t account for the fact that a lot more guys washed out with injuries way back when, which might not always have registered as trips to the DL. Impossible to say whether guys get injured more or less often now (and the definition of “injured” is a lot more slippery than we fans would like it to be). But there’s no argument to be made that teams aren’t better at managing injuries. Which includes resting players.

    It’s almost like long baseball seasons have ups and downs.

    For what it’s worth, they took one out of three in Yankee stadium this year. One of their losses was shortened by rain. Then there was that excellent series at Target Field. They again won one out of three, but things could just as easily have gone the other way. Probably their toughest fought series all year.

    Thoughtful article. I think they should try and resign him, although I also think they should make a real run at Cole.
  10. prouster
    After a terrible year like this one, how could they not rest players less?

    What does Alex Ochoa have to do with any of that?
  12. prouster
    Agreed. A lot of sports fans are idiots, which comes out in situations like this. I hope Gibson gets better, as ulcerative colitis raises risk factors for other very serious conditions. I also hope the barbarians cheering this development learn to imagine that life exists beyond their own immediate sense perceptions.

    Why on earth are you bringing up Alex Ochoa? This thread...
  14. prouster
    You’re splitting hairs. The consensus was that he was a first round talent. Whether he’s 22nd or 13th isn’t all that meaningful, because players taken in that tier tend to be valued very close together.
  15. prouster
    He was a late riser, but no one really considered him that much of a reach. MLB.com had him at 28 on their pre-draft rankings with a 50 overall grade. Their 18th prospect was the highest ranked 50 FV, to give some reference. Fangraphs had him at 22 on their draft board with a 45 FV. Langliers was their highest ranked 45 FV, coming in at 14. He was a consensus first round talent. I’m not sure where your information is coming from.

    Like Syndergaard has never been hurt...

    This is terrific. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m guessing you’re joking around, but this doesn’t make Cave a good outfielder.
  19. prouster
    I’m a Cave detractor. He’s been hot lately, but my goodness he isn’t an everyday player. He might seriously be the worst defensive outfielder they’ve had since the Arica/Willingham days.
  20. prouster
    Off the top of my head, I don’t think it has ever happened.
  21. prouster
    Well then what’s weird is drawing the conclusion that it might be a good idea to get Cave more playing time.
  22. prouster
    Cave is a terrible defender. And look at that slugging percentage you cited.
  23. prouster
    In Dyson’s defense, the home plate ump squeezed him out of at least one strike in the Kiner-Falefa at bat. That one should have ended in a strike out instead of a walk.
  24. prouster
    We should expect some ugly wins (and losses) this time of year. Guys are beat up and looking for a second wind. I’m glad they found a way to finish. Go Twins.
  25. prouster
    Tough game, but it happens to everyone. I hope they come back strong today.
