I get it. There would be 31 teams lined up to deal, but I highly think the return would be very underwhelming. I'm of the camp to stay the course with Royce. Use him when you can cuz I don't think anyone is going to give much back. Why would anyone part with a good package for a guy who doesn't stay on the field?

Which begs the question, why should we keep a guy who doesn't stay on the field?

Pretty sure tendons don't grow.

 

 

Tendons do not increase significantly in size. In fact, tendons should not grow in size since it would impact the function of the joint. Tendons also do not receive the same quantity of blood supply that muscles do. Exercise can enlarge the tendon just as it does the muscle, although the collagen fibers don’t increase in size.

 

Are you arguing with a trained expert?

People think the Twins need a new training staff because they clearly don't know what they're doing? Imagine having Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuna Jr, Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley, Michael Harris II, and Sean Murphy all get hurt on your watch last year.

Welcome to pro sports, folks. Injuries happen. It sucks that Buxton and Lewis have them happen so frequently, and Correa has had the foot issue in back to back years, but the Twins aren't special. They aren't some crazy outliers. The Dodgers lost roughly 84 rotation members last year (slight exaggeration). The Rangers had a ton of injuries. There are injuries all over the league every year. It happens to every team. 

For the record, my opening sentence was being facetious.

I'm thinking we'll see Miranda at 3rd and Lee at 2nd.

The only thing i want to see less than Julien at 2B or Miranda at 1B is Miranda at 3B

On the other hand it begs the question of why we'd trade Lewis for a couple of prospects, which is a good chance what he'd bring in trade? I guess I'd rather have Royce Lewis even if it is for only 60-70 games a year than a couple of prospects who won't be top 10 type. You trade Royce now you are not trading high that's for sure. But I get it, it's frustrating for everyone.

You can't build a team around a player that plays 60-70 games a year. He's supposed to be a cornerstone of the team.
