    Sonny Gray was gutsy and battled his tail off, but he did leave the team in a position that was all too familiar last year. The answer was a long man to save the big guns for later. The problem was it was a tight game and the long guy was a rookie who hadn't played yet. Make all the plays that were there and they still would've won this ugly game.

    True, very true, my friend.

    No I'm not projecting anything. It is your dire projection I'm pushing back on. "He is what he is until he ain't" Which is he, the injured guy who's stats you quoted or the guy blowing up AAA that Jocko mentioned? I don't know, but neither do you.

    808 vs 797, so you are right. Those numbers are both pretty good. Here are some more stats for ya. Career WAR Sano 7.6, Gallo 14.8. Joey Gallo was not my pick in free agency. He has looked tenfold better than Sano did the last time he tried to come back. So since he is here I will try to give him the benefit of the doubt and root for this new Twin. Seems like a good dude and is a good athlete.

    Maybe I'm reaching here because of his comments last year about how he might have chosen the wrong career, but Max just doesn't seem to enjoy his job much anymore. Yes I think he could've made a much better effort on that play.

    The answer your looking for is 56 innings pitched last year. You gotta think when they do call him up they will let him run. If they pitch him like last year and limit the innings that will be disappointing and effect the bullpen as you mention.

    Now this is a more reasonable take that I agree with. Your right he was pinch hit for against a lefty. He does have pretty flat platoon splits though.

    Gallo had a 5 year stretch where he OPS'd over 800 in 3 of those years and over 900 in another. He is capable of a good year. You do realize that, right?

    Projects? You are going to project his performance based on stats from when he was playing through an injury that required surgery? Did you take into account his pedigree and performance in the minors when healthy? Yes I agree we don't know what prime Kiriloff will be but if he does get his wrist strong he could be a player. Time will tell, there is no sense in dire predictions.

    Kepler doesn't love baseball.

    You are correct, sort of. We lost, what I think 1.5 years of control? The guy loves Houston, the GIANT suburb. Chances are he wouldn't have signed here. Cele and Alcala have underwhelmed so far. Hard to say IMO. Edit: correction, I think we traded one half of a year of control. We traded him in his 6th MLB season. So I guess I would say you are mostly incorrect. He was not the guy he became in Houston for us. There is no way to know we would have made him that guy. He was not signing here, but he keeps signing 2 year deals to play in his hometown. I'll bet the Twins tried to extend him, he said no, they traded him. This deal did work very well for Houston, however.

    Wow that's nuts. This year he really needs to prove he can hold up.
  13. wabene
    Alcala🤩Lol

    The season stats in parentheses is a winner.

    Dan Hayes said in the comments of his article on this signing that he's heard that Gray wants to test free agency. That could change with a great experience here this year, but my guess is the qualifying offer for him.

    You could skip the maybe part

    Fun piece of writing Mr Braun

    @jmlease1 said, "They did make a rule change to try to put some guardrails on it, since it was happening so much more. YMMV on whether they should tighten it up more? (I don't think ending it completely is ever going to happen, and that's ok by me)" I would say anything that gives you consequences for your play is good for the game. If you are getting knocked around and burning up your staff, letting you use a position player allows you to artificially protect your staff for the next few games. You are gaining an advantage you didn't earn.

    I thought nothing was more fun than watching the Sox play defense. Wrong. Dropping 9 on the Yanks in the first was surreal. I want more please.

    Highly recommended album

    That was a pretty good game

    Miller is off to a nice start. If he keeps getting stronger the doubles power will come and we'll have a player.
  25. wabene
    Some basic respect please and maybe consider who's staff is leading the league in innings pitched. You might want to consider that the early hooks last year had something to do with who Baldelli's pitchers were. Who has the impenetrable head here?
