    One last comment....foot injuries can be very rough...re-injury and aggravation rate is high. This is very much a big deal, especially over a 60 day season.
  2. D.C Twins
    That being said... I love watching him play and am glad to have him whenever he can play over the next 3 years. i will also wish him the best an root for him when he leaves
  3. D.C Twins
    Enjoy him for the next 3 seasons. If the injury trends continue, just cannot risk signing him to a long contract. We are not the Yankees. His speed will decline staring about next year and ergo is defense will decline too. Not for an extension and not for a long term contract (either he'll be injury prone by 2023 or he won't and he'll be waaaaaay to expensive for the backside of his career)

    Thanks Parker. Good info, though it is a very tough subject to study, with soooo many confounding variables (and the plus fastball and plus slider combo seems to be used together often so hard to evaluate the impact separately). I'm always more excited about the sustainability of pitchers like Santana and Viola with a plus plus change up....
  5. D.C Twins
    Sliders have ALWAYS been amazing wipe out pitches. The problem is they put tremendous strain on the elbow which leads to injuries. The Twins have two of the best examples in history. 1. Liriano: Damn near unhittable for 1/2 year (better than Santana in his prime good); 2006 I believe.....then injury and never that elite again 2. (For you older folkes) Scott Erickson in 1991... First half of the season,....absolutely unhittable....just dominating....then elbow problems and never the same....actually he was hanging on for dear life at the end of the 1991 season through the World Series. Wicked slider is great, but sooner or later most pitchers pay a price.

    Lewis waaaaaay to high...#37-42 have a much better chance of helping the team this year
  7. D.C Twins
    Great guy and exceeded all expectations.... but we do need to give our FO credit for when they moved him.....
  8. D.C Twins
    Yes....there is certainly a chance that we are firmly in the 'bargaining' stage of grief as a country....perhaps a big chance...
  9. D.C Twins
    Great humor as always! (though currently only the second funniest article on TD, ranking slightly behind the one that posits Royce Lewis as a potential MLB replacement this year for emergency )
  10. D.C Twins
    Royce Lewis is not even close to an option. He will have plenty on his plate trying to succeed in AA. There is A LOT of work left to do. At this point he has more potential to be a bust that to be an emergency replacement for a Buxton injury in the MLB this season or next
  11. D.C Twins
    Sooner or later, Kepler will be entrenched in the 3rd spot in the order, and dominate there.
  12. D.C Twins
    Sano is missing.....and with all due respect to thorpe, he is 1b to Buxton's 1a..... if they both get going.....it may not even be fair for other teams
  13. D.C Twins
    This is just a huge, huge year for Lewis. Tools or not, by any metric, he had an awful season (a strike out to walk ratio of 3:1 stands out most to me which really should have nothing to do with the batting in Florida) The majority of scouting reports that I have seen are concerned about his swing as he moves up in difficulty. Most, if not all (I'm open to examples) MLB superstars did not endure such a disaster of a season in the low/mid minors. Yes he is young, yes there was a glimmer of hope in the small sample size of the AFL, yes he is a wonderful human being by all accounts, BUT a sustained poor performance in A ball IS concerning for an overall#1 pick. This is SUCH a big year for him....and I am SO rooting for him!
  14. D.C Twins
    Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!
  15. D.C Twins
    Totally agree. I feel like we underappreciated Rosario here at TD overall, but quite simply his cost is quickly surpassing his production while Larnach will likely have a VERY NICE cost/production ratio come 2021!
  16. D.C Twins
    Yikes....I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.... Nice idea though and great article!
  17. D.C Twins
    Beat me to it..... Barring some chronic injury that we are not aware of, I feel like Romero just has waaaaay to much talent to go away this quickly.... That being said, players with waaaaay too much talent have gone away quickly many, many, many times before....
  18. D.C Twins
    I think the trade is a referendum on Graterol's change up. I believe the FO was not confident in the long term development of the third pitch and hense his ability to start. If they believe the in his ability to develop the third pitch, no way is he traded
  19. D.C Twins
    I think May further develops as an elite bullpen arm while there is regression for all the others (or not even pitching like Hill). We'll end up missing May the most if we don't keep him.
  20. D.C Twins
    He is my #1...premium player who looks to stick at a premium position. Absolutely think Kirilloff is the real deal too but SP is just sooooo important. I remain very concerned about Lewis
  21. D.C Twins
    Apparently the MLB wants to go to great lengths to make the 162 game season irrelevant....
  22. D.C Twins
    High floor and I can't even see the ceiling.... This is what happens when hard work and intelligence meet innate talent... Good on him!
  23. D.C Twins
    I'm signing back in at 11:16 PM tonight SQUIRREL just to read what promises to be a brilliant post
  24. D.C Twins
    Kudos to the to FO from a previous critic My issues previously had been that they would not sign a high price free agent nor take risks by trading high level prospects for current MLB talent. They have now done both. Maybe it works, and maybe it doesn't.... but I very much applaud them for taking calculated risk to get better!
  25. D.C Twins
    As I predicted.....another throw in of a prospect outside of our top 20 to get it done. I did miss the additional wrinkle of the Dodgers separating the deals to allow the Sox to save face and the Twins to add a piece without looking like they were capitulating to the Sox demand.
