Front Page: The Twins' Great Advantage (That They Aren't Taking Advantage Of)

[specialiststeve]

 

What happens when your system is out of balance? Meaning, too many position players and not enough pitchers? What about when your ML lineup is all young, controllable and producing? Do we hang onto those prospects and just let them sit in the minors? Do we trade the guys on the MLB roster?

 

When you are in dire need of pitching like this team is, I think it is imperative to trade from your position of strength to shore up a weakness. 

 

When you have great assets... OF right now you move a Rosario for what you need or a piece for your system to fill a possible future need. Having a balance on your major league club of young and vets is ideal. If an ace comes along and a quality position player is needed I am okay with it but NOT for a pitcher that is not a top end guy... value is not there. Position players are tough to come buy and while about 1 in 5 quality prospects actually work out... we need to keep the system full. If we have a ML lineup that is controllable and producing.. we are in an AWSOME place and we can call the shots better. 

 

Lots of low risk high reward guys out there that can bridge the gap until our pitching studs are ready... which is right around the corner....

I believe that the Twins will deal some prospects for pitching this season when the opportunity becomes available. It takes 2 to Tango.
