Mauers New Contract

Next year the monstrosity of Joe Mauers contract comes to an end. This may leave the Twins with another dilemma. Lets assume for the moment that Joe is back, he is hitting albeit a mid 30s age player hitting, but lets say he finishes similar to where he is now and next year duplicates, do you extend him, and if so, for how much?

Why the Twins SHOULD trade Nick Gordon

Depends on the return of course, but if they can Package Gordon with any other prospect not named Gonsalves or Romero, they should move him for a Pitcher that has some tread. I am not saying a Rent a Cole....but somebody that might be able to give them 5+ years.   The Twins are suddenly shortstop rich and have Vielma at AAA went 3-3 last night. I think Gordon is good but hardly irreplaceable...and I dont think he is a once in lifetime player like Sano or maybe Kepler, he is a good chip to hav

So you want a darkhorse in the draft?

This kid just won the Gatorade Player of the Year   6 2 LHP that touches 94   He is 10-0 with a 0.20 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 68 1/3 innings this season. At the plate, Gore is hitting a team-best .482 with 17 extra-base hits and 27 RBI.   Who else has won the award?   7: RHP Rick Porcello (West Orange, N.J.) 2006: LHP/1B Clayton Kershaw (Dallas) 2005: SS/3B Justin Upton (Chesapeake, Va.) 2004: RHP/SS Mark Rogers (Topsham, Maine) 2003: OF Chris Lubanski (Collegeville, Pa.) 2002: RHP/SS Zack Grei

Now is the time to trade Dozier

Dozier is phenomenal, I would hate to see him go, that said, now is the time to trade him. Here is what I think we could get for him, a potential starting catcher, a close to ready starting pitcher and an A ball throw in, I hate to do it, but Polanco is clearly ready to take over and we can recharge the team with the return.

Offer this guy Mall of America....

Do what it takes to sign this guy....right now..DO NOT LET RYAN et al participate in the draft!   Candidate: Jason McLeod Current role: Senior Vice President, Player Development and Amateur Scouting (Cubs) Skill set: During his tenure with the Cubs, McLeod has played a major role in turning over an organization that was thin on minor-league talent, augmenting the infield talent that was present before his tenure with Kris Bryant and Albert Almora. He also has a keen eye for what can be considere

Our Offense is better? Really?

Is it concerning to you that we hear our offense is better, and yet we score two runs a game on a consistent basis?   Oh..hold..today we got one...I totally get we aren't playing with full lineups...but guess what neither are our opponents.   In addition the pitching we are facing..many are experimenting with pitches, we are facing minor league pitchers as well. A few games ago we hit four home runs, but did you watch that game? How many were wind blown?   I think to compete we HAVE to have Es
