That completes the set Marcus Semien Jersey , and means Arizona will have no players going to arbitration this year."But, wait! There’s more! for 2020, which would have been T.J. McFarland’s third year of arbitration-eligibility. We don’t yet have details of the cost involved. I would presume, however, that the addition of cost-certainty for the team next year, probably means the settlement for this year is closer to the figure of $1.675 million which the pitcher wanted, than the $1.275 million offered by the team when they filed a couple of weeks ago. On the other hand, there could be additional guaranteed cash for T.J. in the form of a buyout of the 2020 option. We’ll find out in due course, I’m sure. Expect a Jack spreadsheet update over the weekend. Because that now closes the book for 2019 in terms of salary negotiations for the Diamondbacks. McFarland was the only one not to have agreed to a deal before the filing deadline. While previously, this might have meant the team cutting negotiations and going through the arbitration process,that clearly wasn’t the case here. It’s probably for the best, as an arbitration hearing can end up damaging the relationship between the player and the team. After all, he has to sit there and listen to the team explaining why he isn’t worth as much money as he thinks. That’s not a performance review I’d wish on anyone.T.J. was certainly one of the more valuable members of the Diamondbacks’ bullpen last year, working long relief and dialing up ground balls at a Ziegler-esque rate. Let’s just hope that the one we get for the next one (or two) seasons is similar in quality, and reliever volatility does not make him regress to the rather less effective results we saw from him in his first season with the Diamondbacks. The veteran non-roster invitee has batted impressively in Fort Myers."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Twinkie Town Farm ReportSatire, Irreverence, & Other HumorGame RecapsAdam Rosales’ strong spring has gone unnoticed, but can he make the team?New,3commentsThe veteran non-roster invitee has batted impressively in Fort Myers.EDTShareTweetShareShareAdam Rosales’ strong spring has gone unnoticed, but can he make the team?You can see his nameplate; now you know who he is.Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsThis spring http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , 25 Twins have come to the plate 10 or more times. Of those players, one has a particularly impressive stat line:.429 batting average (second among the sample, behind Max Kepler).478 on-base percentage (second, behind Kepler)1.000 slugging percentage (first), including 3 home runs (first)1.478 OPS (first)These numbers do not belong to a slugging first baseman or heart-of-the-order designated hitter, but to non-roster invitee Adam Rosales, a career .226 hitter who has only twice played more than 100 games in a season. Who on earth is he... and what does his spring mean?CareerThis year’s crop of Twins’ non-roster invitees includes a mix of established veterans, journeymen, and budding prospects. Rosales is a veteran backup, a 35-year-old infielder who made his major league debut in 2008. His longest stretch with one team began when the Athletics acquired him in February 2010 until they designated him for assignment in 2013. That year was notable for Rosales for two reasons: he hit a game-tying home run that 脕ngel Hern谩ndez incorrectly ruled a double after review, costing the A’s a chance to win, and he was designated for assignment three times in 11 days, each time by Oakland or Texas.While mostly a reserve, Rosales played in 105 games in both 2016, for the Padres, and 2017, split between the A’s and Diamondbacks. Last year, as an Indians September call-up, Rosales played in just 13 games.Statistically, Rosales fits the profile of a light-hitting utility infielder. Baseball-Reference grades him as a slightly above-average (1.9 offensive bWAR) career hitter despite his low average Reggie Jackson Jersey , OBP (.291), and slugging (.365 with 48 career home runs, 脕ngel Hern谩ndez notwithstanding).Strong springWhile spring statistics may not mean everything (sorry, Ryan LaMarre), they certainly mean something, and Rosales’ hitting spree suggests that he isn’t finished as a professional baseball player. Setting aside the question of whether Rosales has any realistic chance at making the team for about two paragraphs, his impressive spring makes it more likely that he lands with a team somewhere, at least receiving a cameo appearance or two during the MLB season. But if he were to make the opening day roster, it would not be a first-time occurrence: in 2016, the San Diego Padres, after signing Rosales to a minor-league contract, saw him make the opening day roster and play in a career-high number of games.Rosales also has the advantage of versatility, having seen regular time at all four infield positions (though less at first base) during his career. He’s also pitched twice, and position players who pitch are always fun to watch. Of course, teams are always looking to get younger, and Rosales’ age works against him, but age is still a secondary factor to talent.Potential roleAs stated above, Rosales profiles as a utility infielder with a better glove (2.6 career defensive bWAR) than bat, a role currently filled by Ehire Adrianza. If he’s to make the roster, Adrianza is his main competition.So does Rosales have a chance to win a coveted roster spot? Assuming a direct battle for a single spot http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-khris-davis-jersey , let’s compare.Career statisticsBoth are light-hitting infielders who have maintained a MLB career with their versatility. Adrianza has a slightly higher batting average and OBP (.242 and .303, respectively) than Rosales, but a lower slugging percentage (.355). Using Baseball-Reference’s dWAR, Rosales grades out as the better defender (2.6 over 11 years versus 0.9 over six years).Spring statisticsWhile Rosales’ stats have stood out, Adrianza has also been active at bat, hitting .400 in 20 spring at-bats. He has not shown as much power, though, with three doubles and a triple against Rosales’ three doubles and three home runs.AgeThis is the obvious difference when comparing the two players. Adrianza is 29 (turns 30 in August) and Rosales 35 (turns 36 in May). The closer the two players compare on the field and in statistical categories, the more important their age will be in the team’s decision.MoneyAdrianza is on a one-year deal worth $1.3 million. Rosales received a minor league deal worth $1 million, but with an additional $250K worth of incentives.ConclusionRosales has showed that he can still play baseball. Will it be for the Twins in 2019? While the Twins have had non-roster invitees make the opening roster in each of the past two years (LaMarre, Chris Gimenez), his numbers might not be enough. Twins general manager Thad Levine spoke positively of Adrianza at last August’s Baseball Prospectus Night, always a positive sign for a player’s future with a team. Thus, my answer to the question in the title is: probably not.I won’t say Rosales is completely out of luck or has no chance, though, and I’ll certainly be rooting for him. If his bat keeps up and he continues to play solid defense - he’s started at second, third, and short this spring - then we may no longer instinctively think “Robbie Grossman?” when No. 36 steps to the plate.
