    I agree. It's really as simple as that. No one else in the game can provide 10 WAR by themselves. Especially at a premium position.
  3. Vanimal46
    It may become reality in 2020 when he's on the last year of his deal... For now, I'd rather earn 10 WAR from Trout and fill in the pieces elsewhere than hope the 4-5 great prospects earn 10 WAR.
  4. Vanimal46
    Problem is there's no way they can find fair value in a trade for Trout. I'd love to see what that looks like. Just don't see it being feasible. Plus, I'm sure the Angels GM doesn't want to be remembered as the person who traded a generational player.

    Recruiting class ranked #34 nationally. 8th in the Big 10.

    That's one of the reasons why he can be rushed as well if he's mashing the ball. He doesn't have to hone his craft Fielding a premium position like Gordon and Lewis. If Rooker and Kirilloff keep mashing, they can be on the fast track to the majors and stick them at 1B/DH or a corner OF spot.

    Another blow for FB... But frankly, it doesn't really bother me. If the service is free, you're the product. I accept it.

    I anticipate him repeating AA to start the year and hopefully produce big numbers. Wouldn't be opposed to a direct call up from AA if he's raking and the underlying metrics look good.
  9. Vanimal46
    But wait.... There's more! He's one of us.

    What I've heard from people who pay way more attention than me, Flip would abandon the game plan the moment running the ball didn't work. Stefanski stuck to the game plan and saw success.

    Don't have time to do the research. I'm sure there are players like Odorizzi every off-season with a track record similar to his. Willingness to sign for cheap or reasonable terms is just your opinion, man. Unless you have inside info?
  13. Vanimal46
    13 free agent pitchers with 2+ fWAR this year. And it's not a deep SP class.
  14. Vanimal46
    Yeah a little bit. Maybe there was a bidding war for him. I thought I read earlier this winter Cincinnati wanted him back.
  15. Vanimal46
    I was interested in him as a bounce back candidate.
  16. Vanimal46
    I'd love a multi year commitment, but not for pitchers like Odorizzi. I concur 100% with you that pitchers like Odorizzi are available every season. No reason to lock him in. Totally separate note that you didn't comment about... I don't buy Odorizzi as a solid sell candidate either. The Twins gave up very little to get him for 2 years. Why would anyone give the Twins value for less than 1 year of Odorizzi?

    I don't think a player will play for the Twins long enough to have this conversation anymore. Not in this risk-averse sport.
  19. Vanimal46
    4 times from 2000-2010, but none since the 2010 Packers... I was curious and looked up the last team to win a super bowl winning 9 games and it was the 2012 Giants against undefeated NE.
  20. Vanimal46
    Not everyone is a late bloomer, and not everyone figures out how to hit consistently at the MLB level. In this hypothetical scenario where Buxton's OPSing below .600 in June, the Twins can't continue thinking he'll be a star. That's not to say he can't be a contributor on a good MLB team, but the Twins are operating under the assumption Sano and him will be stars.
  21. Vanimal46
    Dumb luck IMO. Miami is #30 against the run this year. I'd like to see results like that against the Bears before I believe things have changed for the better.
  22. Vanimal46
    If he's OPSing below .600 in June you send him to Rochester again and write him off as someone with star potential. Then head into 2020 looking for his replacement.
  23. Vanimal46
    I don't buy it; but will thoroughly enjoy the crow I'll eat if he takes the next step offensively.
  24. Vanimal46
    Happy 25th birthday Byron.

    Heyman thinks it's a play for Realmuto... The super teams get stronger by the day. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1075069789532491779?s=19
