    Bad news, but this team has great depth. It's why they are where they are today.
  2. Shaitan
    Considering what tends to me in the news, I'm glad MN isn't in it much.
  3. Shaitan
    STrib or Press ran a great article on this several years ago. The short answer is not really. But they get "tips" from the players. Like 4-figure tips.
  4. Shaitan
    Whoa. A division with 2 100-loss teams.
  5. Shaitan
    We were having these conversations about Guzman and Rivas once too. Let it play out. This is what the minor leagues are for.

    While I find assigning a value to players kind of abstract, Sano's future depends if he can improve to league average at 3B. If he sticks there, he's worth so much more than at 1B/DH.
  7. Shaitan
    I meant 75, I think. But it's still wild.
  8. Shaitan
    So Garver and Sano are going to combine for 85 HR in like 700 AB?
  9. Shaitan
    And this is one reason I don't see him back with the Twins. Historically, all MLB players want to test the market when they finally get free of team control. And they don't like it when the team who just controlled them gives them a low offer. Even if it's justified for medical reasons.

    Playing the Mexican League is a fun twist.
  11. Shaitan
    Zero. Only teams on the coasts deserve recognition.

    I've been done with Gibson for 3 years. I just don't like watching him pitch. But he is league average, at least. I'd consider a prove-yourself deal like Perez got...but not much more. And I won't miss him if they choose otherwise.
  13. Shaitan
    I agree that the player has to want to come here. Hopefully winning the division, making the postseason, and having a positive culture this year helps reshape that narrative from the past decade.
  14. Shaitan
    There are still 2-3 starts from Gibson and Perez. Hope one of them catches a hot streak and figures something out. If not, you ad lib with a short leash. I would assume it defaults to Gibson based on veteran status and such (though the recent bullpen use does raise some questions about the faith that Rocco has in him).
  15. Shaitan
    First half would have been Polanco. He and Kepler have been the most healthy and are both having great seasons. Cruz has missed too many games but he's still in the running. It's such a well-rounded team.
  16. Shaitan
    What was the corresponding roster move?
  17. Shaitan
    Same thing I've said on this board elsewhere: Pineda is never going to give a team a full season anyway. He's just not built for it. Look at his injury history, including before TJ... But if the price is right you sign any player that can help your team. In a vacuum, I'd rather have a player whose is scheduled to miss a chunk of the season than a July 1 free agent signee. This is presuming that Pineda is, in fact, post season eligible in 2020.
  18. Shaitan
    Can they call up a 41st man?
  19. Shaitan
    September baseball is meant to be ugly and slow. (I've really soured on the 40-man rosters the past 2-3 years. It's cool to see the young guys and the last hurrah for some of the lifer AAAA types, but it's just...not professional baseball at it's best. Especially when 3/4 of the league is phoning it in at this point.)
  20. Shaitan
    I've never gotten the impression the stat heads are concerned with the human element of the game.
  21. Shaitan
    It's interesting. But it's also an incredibly small sample size.
  22. Shaitan
    This is certainly a glass half-full outlook, but I believe that teams in a tight playoff race are better prepared for the postseason.
  23. Shaitan
    Sano can't PH, huh?
  24. Shaitan
    If Graterol is on an innings limit... I really don't know what to think with MP. I'd take him on a hometown discount. But I'd also treat him like an extra arm in planning. Somebody (probably more than 1) will go down and he'd get his chance to step up and prove himself. I don't think you can bank on him being an every-fifth day pitcher. Even without the suspension, his history is just too spotty.
  25. Shaitan
    Nobody should listen to Bert. Except maybe the WBC Dutch team. But on air, no.
