    Proof for you, but not for most others.

    "Jones, Zack (P) Right shoulder soreness Expected to begin season on disabled list as of March 25 update". Thanks, I missed the "March 25 update"

    Why O'Rourke? Picture Casey Fien facing David Ortiz with bases loaded and two outs and no LHP available.
  4. sane16
    ABSOLUTELY the right time, if not next Monday. Get Tonkin through waivers and bring back O'Rourke as a second situational LHRP. If Tonkin goes, life goes on. Zach Jones will be back in the Twins system by then.

    There’s some intuitive patterns here: shortstops (SS) and center fielders (CF) are near the top, whereas left and right fielders (corner outfielders [cOF]) are towards the bottom. But there’s also some oddness; why are 3Bs the most injured players? The problem with this graph is that we didn’t adjust for age, which as we’ve already seen, is a significant covariate. For example, if pitchers are on average younger (which they are), they might not get injured as often in an absolute sense, yet they may get injured more often than expected, given their age–precisely what we’d like to know. Reframing the question thusly, we arrive at the following graph, charting age-conditioned risk of injury as a function of some positions (check out all positions here):

    Can you document that with Actuary Tables?

    It is also contingent on his team winning something besides games, and that is not likely.

    If O'Rourke is cut, his quote should be; "WTF would have been good enough?..This is B.S.!"
  11. sane16
    O'Rourke's ST-2016 stats: 1.35 ERA; .100 OBA; 0.60 WHIP O'Rourke is EXACTLY STIFF COMPETITION!

    Coach Vavra playing "Daddy-ball" by putting his kid in the game. After the game, Duffey and Kinzler can walk across the street together to the Minor League Camp.
  13. sane16
    With Loek Van Mil(7'1") as the first baseman, I should hope so.
  14. sane16
    Not sure about "we", but I worry because sometimes AAA performance predicts MLB performance.
  15. sane16
    SO, ABW has incorrect throwing mechanics and has difficulty hitting curve balls. Do you not understand that both of those afflictions may be curable? Throwing mechanics have been corrected in almost ALL pitchers and in MANY position players. Improved throwing mechanics can convert a poor thrower into a good thrower VERY quickly. Difficulty hitting "good" curveballs is a common issue with hitters and some never master it. However, some do master it, eventually. In either case, to say that someone will NEVER improve at these skills is a blind guess into the future. To say NEVER or ALWAYS is to assume a certainty that is impossible to possess. Please don't tell me the future. I don't believe in Financial Advisers, Psychics, weathermen, Doomsday Preppers or blog posters.

    OK, an occasional short distance careless toss is possible, if he is being sloppy. I thought you were referring to a repeated flaw in his normal mechanics, like rushing your back-swing in golf. If he were unable to stop throwing with his arm-side foot forward, the scout who signed him should be arrested for fraud.
  17. sane16
    I flat-out do not believe that. I have NEVER in 55 years of coaching, ever seen a baseball player (who is NOT a beginner)REPEATEDLY throw with the arm-side foot forward. Berardino never mentions that as his problem, and UNTIL I WITNESS IT, I won't believe it.
  18. sane16
    Quinton and Arcia could both score from first on a double, but they would have to skip touching second and third base, and take a more direct route.

    I see by the Yankees Opening Day lineup, that Aaron Hicks is not in it. (OF= Gardner, Ellsbury, Beltran) Apparently we traded a backup RF (Hicks) for a backup catcher (John Ryan Murphy).

    Season ticket buyer?

    I forgot about Mike Strong our best 7'1" short reliever, Loek Van Mil.
  23. sane16
    Thanks, I overlooked that note. I guess the Rochester bullpen will be well-stocked with Burdi, Chargois, Graham, Reed, Rogers, Tonkin, Runzler, Kinzler, Boshers, O'Rourke and Thompson. Thompson may be released, I would guess.
  24. sane16
    I know that the Rochester roster is not factored into the Twins active roster decisions, BUT: If Duffey is cut , Nolasco becomes the 5th starter and some other reliever (Tonkin? or O'Rourke?) sticks, THEN Rochester's SIX-MAN rotation is Duffey, Berrios, Rogers, Darnell, Dean and Meyer, NONE of whom should be sent to AA, because they have ALREADY had success at AAA.
  25. sane16
    IMO, Darnell, Kinzler and O'Roarke will be cut. The last pitcher cut will either be Tonkin (whom the Twins will try to sneak through waivers) or Duffey (if Tonkin out-pitches him this coming week.
