Action Plan for the Second Half of 2012--Part 3

[Oxtung]

Basically, there are just so many variables in what happens in the next 2 1/2 months that it's hard to say anything for certain. I'm open to doing different things based on how events unfold.

Isn't that the truth!!

 

Thanks for walking me through your thoughts

kind of odd in that this is a bit of a nice problem to have. Though I'm not quite sure Hunter is going to want to return here. He's commented before that he'd love to be back, but he's also commented unfavorably about MN since...

Have to wonder what the trade value comparison is now between Revere and Span. Might the Twins actually get more for Revere? Clearly he's cheaper than Span right now, but that is also an advantage in terms of making him trade bait.

 

I would want the Twins to keep Span until Hicks is ready (maybe at next year's trade deadline, at the earliest) at the very least. But I don't really like the idea of messing with the current Twins lineup too much.

Why not mess with the lineup? This team is going nowhere. For the team to have any chance of contending next year, they need more pitching. Trade the most expendible pieces and get pitching.

Revere is not a proven commodity by any means. He's had a nice run after an abysmal start, but lets be realistic, anyone can do that in a small sample. Teams should pay a decent price for Span. If Revere keeps doing it, he should fetch something nice when Hicks/Arcia/Benson are knocking at the door.
