I think that dooms our trading this year. With that high a price tag, the twins might bow out of all trade possibilities…
if I were a seller, I’d hold out for something like what they gave up.
I'm wondering if Stanton would have gotten it if he had been the one to hit the go-ahead HR.
I'm scarred by the Cy Young excuses for Roger Clemens during his time with the Yankees (He won the most games! .. but not the ERA title-------->2 years later - he won the ERA title! .. but not the most games...)
1) 5-6
2) a mostly healthy lineup. Hopefully Miranda and Kiriloff continue to improve!
3) A one way ticket for Pagan to St Paul. And using some of the younger guys to fill holes in the bullpen.
4) here’s a shot in the dark - Catcher.
It probably comes down to several factors:
Is the player a prospect and needs to see AB's?
How are the peripheral #'s for the player?
What is the team's investment in the player?
What is the consistency of the #'s?
How many years of control does that player have (or options left)?
I wonder how it works with pitchers? I see Robles was let go from Boston recently.
What was Griffin Jax’s #s last year? Somewhat similar to sands.
Not yelling at the computer because of analytics changes, just begging for a change from what has caused 4 of the last losses. We cannot keep doing the same thing and expecting the same result…that’s insanity.
