    Wow. That is quite the fall from grace for Balazovic. I’ve got higher hopes for the former top 100 prospect this year.

    B-Ref is usually my go to. I’m used to the UI and I like the easy access to splits stats. FanGraphs is good when I want to know velocities and pitch mixes. I truly don’t know enough about the WAR difference on either site to have an opinion. It’s just a quick way to determine value. I rarely go to Baseball Savant. They have a terrible interface on mobile devices.

    Thank you TD team for organizing a great event! I enjoyed meeting people I’ve been conversing with for years on this site.

    Looking forward to attending my first TD Winter Meltdown!

    Love this trade. What’s not being discussed enough is the massive upgrade of Lopez and full seasons of Ober/Mahle vs. 60 Bundy/Archer/Smeltzer starts last year.

    That could buy you a dozen eggs at the grocery store these days!

    And I thought all of this time you had Falvey’s number in your favorites contacts… I feel duped! Bamboozled!

    Best case: Paddack recovers fully from his 2nd TJS and provides immense value for the Twins. Worst case: He becomes minimal dead money like Randy Dobnak.

    I like reunion stories for players on their last legs in the MLB. Good for McCutchen to go back to where it all started for him.
  10. Vanimal46
    All we need to know. Good.

    Martin: He will see a lot more reps in the OF now. I would heavily consider him in a trade package for pitching. Lewis: I envision him as a much better version of Marwin Gonzalez. Super utility player who is Correa and Buxton insurance. Playing everywhere when a player needs a day off. Most importantly for 2023, he needs to not have any set backs in his rehab, and he needs plate appearances. Wouldn’t bother me a bit if he was mostly DH when he returns in July. Lee: More than likely locked in at 3B unless Miranda makes significant improvements in the field.

    Correa was always a luxury want, not a need for the Mets. Boras likely called them because he knows Cohen doesn’t give a F about the money. Somebody probably talked some sense into Cohen and said you can spend $400 million on Machado next season who's a better fit at 3B.

    It means the merry go round of new shortstops every year for the last 20 years is finally over. And they have a better chance to win more games than they did with Farmer as the starting SS.
  14. Vanimal46
    Major respect to you for owning up to past comments! You can’t go wrong with Cajun or blackened crow.

    This is a move that salvaged what was going to be a terrible offseason. It truly couldn’t have worked out better. Our top of the order bat and elite fielding SS is back!
  17. Vanimal46
    Excellent! I love the new term too. 6 years is ideal.
  18. Vanimal46
    I would have DFA’d Megill instead. Not gonna touch on Pagan, because it’s obvious the FO loves something about him that’s not evident to fans.
  19. Vanimal46
    No reason to create a new rumor thread. Here’s what I just saw. “Report: ‘Strong Possibility’ Twins Steal Correa from Mets”
  20. Vanimal46
    I’d welcome him back if the Mets back out. But I’m sure as hell not sticking to the original 10/$285 offer. His leverage if the Mets back out is down to nothing. I’d do the 3/$105 contract again with no opt outs. There’s also this from Sports Illustrated: Report: ‘Strong Possibility’ Twins Steal Correa from Mets
  21. Vanimal46
    I’d do the 3/$105 contract without the opt outs, no questions asked.
  22. Vanimal46
    No reason for them to do so at this point. The Twins can offer another short term high AAV contract and likely get him. What a weird sequence of events this offseason for Correa.
  23. Vanimal46
    Signing Wacha only makes sense if the plan is to trade Gray. Which probably makes sense anyways. Right or wrong, he made public statements that he didn’t like how he was handled with the 5 and fly philosophy. Chances are he’s not gonna sign an extension here. I wish I knew what they’re trying to accomplish. Because right now the offense will be worse than last year and they weren’t all that good to begin with. I can see the pitching staff being above average if Gray remains a Twin. But you’re not going to be a contender if you’re league average on offense and pitching.
  24. Vanimal46
    My point is Joe Mauer and Byron Buxton mentioned in the same thread or sentence is silly. They’re not even close to the same type of player. You bringing up Joe Mauer in this thread is ridiculous.
  25. Vanimal46
    Joe Mauer’s 2011 season, where he played 82 games, is the only season in his 15 year career that comes close to Byron Buxton. These 2 players aren’t in the same universe when it comes to availability playing baseball games.
