Great Read. Articles like this make following the minors even more fun.

Another Great writeup, thanks Jeremy.

I agree with the post (for a different reason) and thought it was constructive criticism, not a snarky comment. The overall article is very good, this is just reader feedback.

My reason for not...

Hate to quibble, but they were all from the right side. His broken bat 2 run single came from the left side.

He did pull one HR and go the opposite way with the other two bombs. So he did spray...

I think splitting them is an anomaly and don't really want to overthnk it.
>95% of voters will likely go either or neither. I would have preferred not
to split them myself. My guess is they will...

Nice to see this. I did a website vote on HOFers. And I
came to 9 votes with Barry and Clemens not in the
first 9. And I added Bonds not Clemens for the same
reason you did.

Consequently, I...

Brock makes a good point.

Doing a reality check after your stat is a sign of being thorough -- and
this stat cries out that no checking was performed. Looks sloppy and
unbelieveable with...

I know all the immediate needs questions are going to dominate your in-box, but I think it would be
interestng to query Ryan on how he uses the bottom of the 40 man roster while the Twins have such...

I think it would be interesting if you can work in some questions if he has plans or preferences
regarding the expected logjam in the OF if the Twins best prospects start showing they are ML ready ...

I have MLB and often listen to a few innings from both home and away announcers. Even though
its a sloppy survey, the three facts sound about right: Hawk is 4 times more biased than anyone else,...

My guess its a message -- don't get too comfortable. And Dozier' level of production isn't enough in the long run.

I was kind of comformtablely numb with Dozier's play. Low expectations and bigger...

Yes. First you get some return in the trade.

And freeing the time of the staff of one underachieving (although very talented) pitcher may yield benefits to the other auditioning SP canidates. ...

I am not saying that it is nonsense. The model is really accurate when the assumptions are true (you can say that about most models).

But if you want hope AND you want to believe in the cool...

Just to point out, the cool standings rely significantly on the run differential (and the conversion of run differntial into expected W-L).

The KC royals are just a couple of wins above the...

1. Happy to hear a more positive response. Thanks for clearing the air and being the bigger man. I guess you are the Torii Hunter and I am the Justin Monreau in this
clubhouse brawl (is that...

Appology accepted. Way too many assumptions in your post.

I like Plouffe's progress. I like it a lot. But he is still really raw. His situational hitting is awful. He's
got his postion...

Can we suggest some possible super powers?

I suggest that a useful superpower for Plouffe would be to hit HRs when there are runners
on base. Pretty far fetched for Plouffe, I know. But it is...

Interesting study. 68% seems like it would be difficult to maintain, but like a lot of good baseball studies, it gives numbers to ideas that we suspected anyway.

One thought that came to me after...
