Larnach to CO, hits 50 bombs in coors, 2 on the road. 

Thin air, curves don't bend as well, balls sail farther. That sounds like what Larnach needs. Now, convince their front office.

I think the Rockies would rather have Larnach than Kepler with the difference in their salaries. They probably would prefer Wallner to Larnach.

I mean, the whole league makes fun of how poorly the Rockies are run, but all jokes aside, there's no way they think they're contending this year. I can't imagine they have any interest in Kepler. Larnach and Wallner, for sure, but they have next to nothing on the MLB roster I want, so that would take Wallner off the board for me entirely. 

I'd be willing to swap Larnach for a prospect though I suppose. Regardless what happens with Kepler.

Larnach still has an option left. The depth he provides in AAA is more valuable than any prospect he can bring back. I also think his upside would be better too. Keep him one more year. Injuries will provide opportunity. Perhaps with that opportunity he will have a Brent Rooker type breakout. A year from now he may be DFA’d for no return but I would still bet on him over whatever return they can get this winter.

I would consider trading Gordon and the Twins Round B pick at #71 for the Rockies Round A pick at #38.

In a heartbeat.

What is the difference in draft allotment money going from 71 to 38?

A little over $1M

Larnach and Gordon for Victor Vodnik? I love his swing and miss potential and supervillain name.

Twins need right handed outfield bats.  Too many lefty's:  Kepler, Larnach and Wallner.  Also have Jenkins and Rodriguez coming in a year or two.

Keep Kep. He's due for a monster season. Larnach isn't ready to take his place. He's only worth trading if the bling from the trade is :Mighty Mite-sized. As Brock points out, Rocks have nothing to offer.
