    There are good doctors, mediocre doctors and all the rest. You walk into a house and look around, you can see the level of workmanship.

    Pagan might sneak up on some American Leaguer's.

    I really like watching Joe Ryan and Jhoan Duran pitch.

    Taylor Rogers went on a really good run in 2017-21 for the Twins peaking in 2019 with 30 saves in 36 opportunities. That season I guess you could call him our closer, those totals would indicate so. For me I prefer fireman. He was used high leverage with the preference to exploit matchups. This was his best role. This lead to his top notch WPA over those years. Most pitchers suffer a drop in performance used in consecutive days and I think Rogers was particularly prone to this. A traditional closer needs to go back to back matchups be damned. That is not the best way to use Rogers imo and it surprises me that even Gleeman refers to him as former Twins closer Taylor Rogers.

    I agree, but with 16 innings pitched last year they are checking all my boxes on how to handle him. Use him in the bullpen this year to limit innings. Use him right away to not waste any of those super ballistic bullets. Most importantly, don't lock yourself into thinking of him as a reliever only. This last point is my hope but we have no way of knowing what their plans are. Of course they might not either. It is not his arsenal that would hold Duran back from a starter role, only stamina/durability. It will be fun to see how he responds.

    People have been saying that since spring training, so yes you missed more than one. You blew it big time.

    Last year after 31 PA in March and April he had a .594 OPS and that includes him getting hot the last week. He opened up with a long hitless steak IIRC. However there was much loud contact last year.

    Welp the Smeltz really deltz today! Good to see, not on the 40, but if there was one was add to the 40, (nooooooooCave), I'd like to see Da Smeltz have some success.

    Yes Moran looks like he needs to calm down, I was thinking the same thing this morning watching him pitch in yesterday's game.

    Easy for someone with a hairless back to say, just sayin.

    You may be right, I though Martin was much younger, but he is actually a little older. I'm not sure it really matters where he starts, but I see your point.

    More pitching depth, no it's not Garrit Cole. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/03/twins-sign-jc-ramirez-to-minor-league-deal.html

    Amen Bro, I mean Brah!

    He didn't dominate AA. First half in AA would be my choice then move him up. It was a rush job to have him start his pro career in AA in the first place.

    Not to mention Gibby's first season in Texas was a train wreck. He may finally have nibbled his way to some success!

    Why do we not see Larnach's foot injury even mentioned? Just watching Polanco's career should impart the necessity of having a good set of wheels under you. I wouldn't be surprised to see Larnach break camp with the team. Cave we hardly knew ya?
  22. wabene
    We definitely need more starter depth and as the off-season isn't over AND this FO may just have a Hitchcockian penchant for suspense, we may just have to sit on our hands.
  23. wabene
    I agree with all this. Larnach's struggles have given Rooker another shot and I think that is ok. He has the righty bat that is needed and while many doubt his future many will react if he produces elsewhere. The Twins have a fair amount invested here

    Direct Stream just informed me my one year promotional rate is over. As a now loyal customer, I will get rewarded with higher pricing! Standard corporate customer appreciation strategy. Profitable and reviled huzzah huzzah!

    Morneau keeps saying Ryan wasn't as sharp as his first outing. I disagree. Last time out he was facing an inferior lineup, gave up lots of hard contact in the first inning and needed Buxton to snatch a homer for him. This time he was sharp except for that off-speed pitch against leftys.
