Baseball America (Berardino) p. 4 Milone part of group of arb-eligible Twins Rhett Bollinger | MLB.com | January 12, 2016 The Twins had six players file for arbitration on Tuesday, with the deadline to exchange salary figures coming Friday. Left-hander Tommy Milone, relievers Kevin Jepsen and Casey Fien, and infielders Trevor Plouffe, Eduardo Nunez and Eduardo Escobar all filed for salary arbitration after being tendered contracts on Dec. 3. If recent history is any indication, the Twins are likely to agree to contracts with most or all of their arbitration-eligible players on or before Friday. Minnesota had six players eligible for arbitration last year, and the club agreed to terms with Milone, Fien, Plouffe and Nunez on the same day they exchanged contract figures. Escobar is arbitration-eligible for the first time this year, while Jepsen was acquired by the Twins in a trade with the Rays before the non-waiver Trade Deadline. Clubs such as the Blue Jays, Braves, Brewers, Dodgers, Indians, Marlins, Pirates, Rays and White Sox employ a file-and-trial policy that treats Friday as a firm deadline before going to a hearing, but the Twins don't employ such a policy. For example, the Twins couldn't reach agreements with Brian Duensing and Jordan Schafer on the same day they exchanged figures last year, but the club signed both of them a week later to avoid an arbitration hearing. The Twins have avoided hearings in recent years, as they haven't been to one since 2006 with Kyle Lohse. In the unlikely case the Twins can't work out a deal and have to go to an arbitration hearing, a three-person panel decides to either choose the team's proposed salary or the player's proposed salary for the upcoming season. Arbitration expected to be more costly for Twins Phil Miller | Star Tribune | January 12, 2016 The Twins and their six arbitration-eligible players will trade salary offers on Friday, and if Minnesota’s history holds, most of the six will agree to new contracts by the end of the day. In fact, four of the six eligible Twins players did exactly that one year ago. Infielders Trevor Plouffe and Eduardo Nunez and pitchers Tommy Milone and Casey Fien all quickly settled on their 2015 salaries after exchanging salary proposals with assistant general manager Rob Antony, and all four are going through the process again this year, joined by shortstop Eduardo Escobar and reliever Kevin Jepsen. The dollar figures will be quite a bit higher this year, but Antony doesn’t believe that should make the contracts any more difficult to work out, or take any longer to settle. In fact, “sometimes the smaller-dollar cases are tougher because [$50,000, for example] is a big difference to the player,” Antony said. “I don’t think the dollars being higher will be an issue. The process is still the same.” That process last year produced contracts totaling $14.225 million for a half-dozen contracts, led by Plouffe’s $4.8 million salary. This year’s arbitration cases could cost the Twins $10 million more. That’s because players generally receive large raises as they accumulate service time, and five of the six Twins in this year’s group, all but Escobar, have been through the process before. Contract projections by mlbtraderumors.com suggest that Plouffe alone will cost $7.7 million, coming off a season in which he belted 22 home runs, improved his defense and appeared in all but 10 games. And Jepsen, who saved 10 games in two months with the Twins, figures to get a big raise over last year’s $3 million salary; the website predicts Jepsen, who can become a free agent after the season, doubles his pay to $6 million. Other mlbtraderumors.com projections: Nunez, $1.5 million, up from last year’s $1.025; Fien, $2.2 million, an increase over last year’s $1.375; Milone, $4.5 million, a 66 percent hike from last year’s $2.7 million; and Escobar, who has taken over as the Twins’ starting shortstop in each of the past two seasons, $1.8 million after earning roughly $532,000 last year. All together, the Twins’ arbitration cases total $23.7 million under those projections. If the sides cannot come to an agreement, a three-member panel of arbitrators will hold a hearing in February, hear evidence from both sides on why their salary suggestion is justified, and choose one or the other. The Twins have not reached an arbitration hearing with a player since Kyle Lohse was awarded $3.95 million in 2006. A year ago, the Twins signed four players just a few hours after exchanging figures, but two other contracts took longer to work out. Jordan Schaffer ($1.55 million) and Brian Duensing ($2.7 million) didn’t come to terms until a week later, causing owner Jim Pohlad to joke, as he presented Duensing with a community service award at the team’s annual Diamond Awards banquet, that “we have an arbitration case with Brian, so I can’t say anything nice about him.” Milone, five other Twins file for arbitration Adrian Garro | Fox Sports | January 13, 2016 Six members of the Minnesota Twins filed for salary arbitration ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Coming up on Friday, players and clubs will exchange figures and see if a deal can be struck - and if not, they'll head to arbitration. Among the Twins that filed are the following players: relievers Kevin Jepsen and Casey Fien, infielders Eduardo Escobar, Trevor Plouffe and Eduardo Nunez and starting pitcher Tommy Milone. MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger pointed out that the Twins' recent history suggests the club will be able to reach agreements on 2016 salaries with these players before Friday and avoid arbitration altogether. In fact, Minnesota hasn't had to go to an arbitration hearing with a player since Kyle Lohse in 2006. For Milone, 28, this will be his first opportunity to go through the arbitration process. In 2015, Milone went 9-5 with a 3.92 ERA for the Twins in 24 appearances, 23 of them coming as a starter. It was his first full season with the Twins since coming over from the Oakland Athletics during the 2014 season, and he earned $2,775,000 for his services. He's probably in line for a bit of a pay raise based on his 2015 numbers and the league's current pitching market. All-time great bullpens: 1970s David Schoenfield | ESPN | January 13, 2016 OK, I got sidetracked writing about the Wei-Yin Chen and Gerardo Parra signings and writing a bit on Monte Irvin. Back to our series on the best bullpen of all time. In some ways, the 1970s didn't change all that much from the 1960s. Pitching still dominated the sport in the early 1970s; in fact, the percentage of complete games increased early in the decade. As late as 1974, 28 percent of all games were complete games, the highest rate since 1959. As offense crept back into the game, however, that percentage began declining and by 1979 it was down to 21.7 percent. The 1970s did see two major changes, however. Teams started allocating more of the save opportunities to one reliever. In the 1960s, only three 2 relievers saved 30 games in a season, topped by Jack Aker's 32 for the Kansas City A's in 1966. Only 16 times did a reliever record 25-plus saves. In the 1970s, there were 16 30-save seasons and 36 25-save seasons. Yes, there were a couple expansions in there, but managers started going more to the "closer" concept -- not that they were called closers back then. The other change came from Chicago Cubs manager Herman Franks. Bruce Sutter arrived on the scene in 1976 and saved 31 games in 1977. But in both 1977 and 1978, Sutter tired in the second half. In 1978, he pitched 56.1 innings with a 1.76 ERA in the first half but fell to a 5.10 ERA in the second half. So in 1979, Franks altered his use of Sutter, preserving him primarily for games only when the Cubs were leading, rather than any game that was close. This has been written about many times. Sutter won the Cy Young Award in 1979, saving 37 games with a 2.22 ERA. Here's the thing though: He pitched 101.1 innings in 1979 -- after pitching 98.2 in 1978. Has Franks' contribution to history been overstated? Luckily, Sutter appeared in about the identical number of games all three seasons and Franks was the manager all three seasons, making it easy to track how Sutter was used (as always, huge tip to the indispensable Baseball-Reference.com): 1977: 62 games -- 6 when behind, 12 when tied, 44 when ahead 1978: 64 games -- 2 when behind, 16 when tied, 46 when ahead 1979: 62 games -- 4 when behind, 9 when tied, 49 when ahead I don't know; I'm not denying Franks his place in the spotlight, but if he changed how he used Sutter, it was a pretty subtle change.

    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1.

At times throughout the season, Riggleman has organized drills that focus on fundamentals from baserunning, to cutoff throws, covering bases and more. So it wasn't hard to see the disappointment Riggleman felt following a 7-4 Reds loss to the Tigers that completed Detroit's two- game series sweep. Numerous mistakes befuddled Cincinnati defensively and on the bases at Comerica Park. "When you play like that, you're not supposed to win," Riggleman said. "It's not bad effort, it's bad performance. We just have to somehow find a way to clean it up. It was very sloppy." Some of the mistakes included: • Left fielder Phillip Ervin twice missed the cutoff man on hits and it cost the Reds two runs. • A relay throw from shortstop Jose Peraza one-hopped over catcher Curt Casali's head for another run. • Casali ran into a double play during a four-run rally in the seventh inning. "That's the difference between a good club and a really good club," Casali said.
