    Lotta Twins regulars coming off of offseason procedures. Hopefully their recoveries from those don't affect too much of the regular season.

    I do personally think it's a good sign that even when he had some vulnerabilities on the inner half of the strike zone, he somehow nearly hit .300 on pitches inside that were off the plate (which isn't easy to do with how he crowds the plate).

    I understand that a lot of professional sports still have the stupidly "macho" idea that you have to play through injuries or you aren't doing things the right way. It results in players playing well below average FAR too long and with negative impacts on the team they play for. Man I'm not sure there's anything I would wish for more than to have this idea die in yesteryear.

    I'll be very interested to see how he develops his pitches this season with the potentially new ball being in play this season.

    Not having Schoop anymore=having WAY more patience with offspeed stuff down and away.

    Really most of the NRI starting pitchers could be considered an X-factor. Getting anything from Chacin would be excellent in particular.

    Having a more dependable group out in the pen can't hurt either. Up until the final month or two of the season, it was more than a little difficult for the team to know what relief pitchers would be consistently good and which ones buttholes would have to be clenched for. Pen work was (in my mind) one of Rocco's issues at times last season, so having a more consistent and less-likely-to-self-implode pen should give him more confidence to be able to go to a wider range of guys in a wider range of situations and know that damage will be limited more often than it was last season.

    I've said all along that the fielding of the White Sox is easily the biggest reason I'm seeing their ascendance as limited. As good as a lineup can be, if your team sucks at fielding as much as theirs does everywhere except at catcher, you are going to allow more runs than a team with lesser offense but better fielding.
  9. JoshDungan1
    Yeah that would explain a lot!

    Unfortunately our HR numbers will probably depend on whether MLB decides to keep last year's balls around or if they realized they juiced it a little too much and use a ball more like what was in play during the playoffs.
  11. JoshDungan1
    Can't say I agree with most of these grades, though I'd probably only move them up (not sure I'd move any down) by a grade or two, so it's probably nothing significant that won't eventually change once we see these guys out on the field!

    Where I think the Twins remain well in front (even with their infield fielding issues last season) of the Sox is definitely in fielding, particularly in the outfield. If Rosario can pull his weight defensively again after whatever the hell happened to him last season and Bucky can stay healthy, the Twins have a truly massive advantage in OF fielding. Injuries and how the teams weather them will obviously also be important, and from what I remember, the White Sox had a number of pitchers go down last season. They'll obviously need to build them back up after missing a lot of last season, so the more the Twins can do to build a lead early and then add on a top-end starter to push the rest of the rotation even higher, the more likely the Twins will have what it takes to be right back on top of the division in nine months' time.

    And it was mentioned in the broadcast, but Rosie, come on man, run out your strike three in the dirt. You're better than that.
  14. JoshDungan1
    Maybe I'm just being salty about his plate appearances tonight, but I wouldn't even consider Rosie a good hitter right now. His average has stayed okay, but his plate discipline has fallen off a cliff since the Break. I'm really hoping we slide him down in the order until he can prove that he can put good at-bats together again.
  15. JoshDungan1
    I honestly think that if the Twins could actually string a couple healthy weeks together for Kepler and Buxton while also having Cave do literally anything other than just look overmatched at the plate, they might have sent Rosario to the DL to try and fully get over whatever ankle issues he is currently dealing with after that sprain he suffered earlier in the year. Because yeah, he just isn't hustling very much right now, I see him grimacing in what appears to be pain a fair amount both out in the field and on the basepaths, and his home-run hitting ability hasn't kept up from what it was earlier in the season. I just want a healthy Eddie to go out, enjoy the game like he has even when the Twins were s***ty enough to be losing 100 games in a season, and be a fully productive #bomba masher again.

    A) Perks hasn't saved every game anyway. B ) Hunter has already gone through a fade or two this year, but like most professional hitters, he's still getting it done. C) Dozier ain't hitting for average much, but he's getting it done when the Twins need him. D) I agree, Hughes will (hopefully) perform better and I would hope that our base running gets better cause we are losing runs on the bases.
