As an aside, high RBI totals come from home runs, not clutch hits.

So, to find out if a batter can get hits with RISP, you decide to rely on a number other than, say...the percentage of the time they get hits with RISP? It's an interesting way to do it, I grant you,...

Is it a stat?

It's a football stadium.

The presentation was 100% political.

Buying up what no one else wants is not exploiting an inefficiency. Certainly there is value in having pitchers that don't give up walks, but only if that tendency is paired with an average or below...

I don't know why people have such a hard time grasping this, but the Twins' first baseman of the future already plays for the Twins. In fact, he's already logged 400+ innings at the position. He's...

This is 100% false. Verlander throws more pitches per batter now than he did when he came in the league. In fact, his career high in pitches per plate appearance came in his best season. He was 12th...

Gomez is going to need a hell of a lot more than one decent season and an unsustainable hot start to have been a net positive since 2008. If I sign a free agent to a sizeable six year deal, and he's...

I think most people are missing the real problem here.

Gardy is upset that a young outfielder isn't meeting his standards. That young outfielder's instructor? That's right, failed hitting coach,...

Fine.

I don't believe that fielding percentage is the sole measure to define anything for hitters.

I have no idea who or what you are arguing against.

I can't see a reason to make a semantic distinction between luck and random variation.

What business are you referring to, exactly?

I've never really been a fan of any of the more convoluted regression based stats. I'd rather the number have some actual meaning.

Rafael Palmeiro was awarded a Gold Glove in 1999. You don't need any more metrics to discount that designation.

It is if you want to keep the sportswriters from pointing the finger at you. Managers have been doing it for 100+ years.

Not as a middle linebacker who isn't particularly fast. It is a situational position at this point. You aren't drafting a guy you hope to be a great nickel cornerback in the top ten.

No, it means that managers don't do jack squat and the Twins should save what's left of their ever shrinking budget to sign better players.

A ball hit in play with a high BABIP results in a lower WHIP than a walk does.

He didn't try to play through the injury. He was not able to play a full game for more than a few games, and everyone was aware of that. That's why this isn't on him or on the training staff. It is...

I can't believe the Twins are still doing this crap. At some point, can someone not understand that there is absolutely no point in keeping all of these marginal players off the disabled list?...

Robots please.

Without knowing the "rules," I wrote down "Troy Percival" in my brain. Career .402 OPSA vs. the Twins.
