No offense, but I think Oswaldo Arcia completely destroyed his value this season.

No offense, but I think Oswaldo Arcia completely destroyed his value this season.

He definitely had a role in all of this but after posting a July OPS of .928, he absolutely deserved a call but the Twins continued to let him rot in Rochester, despite Minnesota being one of the worst teams against RHP in the AL.

 

Do we believe a 24 year old Oswaldo Arcia suddenly forgot how to hit? He has over 800 PAs in MLB with a slightly above average OPS+. He should be on this roster.

Arcia's value in the trade market is minimal. His ceiling remains high with his major league performance at 22-23. The likelihood of getting to that ceiling smaller, but shouldn't be tossed aside by the Twins.

 

I think he is more likely to have a 2 WAR season next year than Hunter.

We can just agree to disagree.   I don't think my view is absurd as some make it out to be.   May, Gibson, and Berrios could be solid I agree on that. 

 

Just curious what move would you make with any of our outfielders?   I don't know of any team that would trade a worthwhile catcher or shortstop for flawed outfield prospects like Hicks and Arcia.  I think Kepler is going to be good so I'd keep him, but maybe you wouldn't.  He's the most likely to bring in a solid piece.

 

I really don't trust our front office to go one way or the other because they've proven time and time again to just ride the fence and accomplish nothing.

I wait to make sure that we actually have too many OF'ers.  There is a chance of injury and/or someone massively disappointing next season and then we are shuffling a utility IF'er or Shane Robinson through the OF.
