Good 20 minute conversation with Tim Kurkjian this afternoon. We also asked him his opinion on Buxton, Sano and Berrios. https://tinyurl.com/mgxvfut https://tinyurl.com/mhuo4dy

New season so I'm trying out a new baseball podcast. We did a National League preview last week. The American League preview will be posted this weekend. We had Rob Neyer on the show yesterday and have Tim Kirkjian coming on this Friday. Let me know what you think. itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-20-80-baseball-podcast/id1210262129 https://twitter.com/20_80Podcast/with_replies

tlkriens replied to sampleSizeOfOne's topic in Archived Game Threads
The last time the Twins scored at least 10 runs in 3 straight games was July 25-27, 2010 vs. Baltimore and Kansas City -
Ricky Nolasco has a 5.41 ERA in 311 innings with the Twins. 2nd highest ERA in team history, minimum 300 innings. Pat Mahomes, 5.82 ERA.

Baseball Reference and their Play Index along with their draft history search.

There have been 43 pitchers that have started at least 10 games for the Twins since 2000. 13 were signed as free agents (30.2%) 12 were drafted (27.9%) 9 were traded as minor leaguers to the Twins (20.9%) 6 were traded as major leaguers to the Twins (13.9%) 1 International signing (2.3%) 1 Rule 5 pick (2.3%) 1 off waivers (2.3%) Now to see how that compares to the rest of the league.

I'm going to start looking at how each team acquired their starting pitchers, minimum for 10 starts, from 2000-2016. I'll go with the categories of ... 1. Drafted 2. Traded for (minors vs. majors) 3. International signing 4. Free Agent

Another blog might be to look at how teams have acquired their starting pitchers via the draft/trade/international/free agency.

Earlier this week the Star Tribune had a look at the Minnesota Twins inability to draft and develop starting pitching. No doubt that the Twins have struggled finding home grown starting pitching over the past decade, but it’s not like everyone one else in the league is passing them by. I used much of the same criteria the Star Tribune article did and looked a how other American League teams have done drafting and developing starting pitchers and the Twins are probably middle of the pack. http://sportsloungeblog.tumblr.com/post/147493514370/the-twins-cant-draft-and-develop-starting
