  1. A completely unhittable pitch. Can't fault Aaron for that one.
  2. Rosario's free-swinging nature gets the best of him there.
  3. Price is not on his game right now. The Twins need to take advantage of it.
  4. BUNTING IN THE THIRD INNING ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  5. Yes, this. Hu was nothing like a top ten prospect in the organization and if he is, your organization is in sorry shape. With that said, Ryan still gave up too much for a reliever having a down year. I have no issue trading Hu but I have an issue with the return (and giving up Tapia as well!), which was unimpressive. Jepsen isn't a bad reliever but he's not very good, either... especially given his recent control issues and dip in velocity (though that may have returned).
  6. Ah, I was going from memory. Thought it was more like 2.
  7. I agree but the Twins need at least two guys better than everybody they have to stabilize the bullpen.
  8. Underwhelming. A nice complementary guy having a down season but I hope he's not the only addition.
  9. As would I and I think the Broxton pickup was a good one by the Cards. But I'll wait for 3:30pm to come around before I declare it a failure on Ryan's part to miss out on Broxton. (but IMO, there's a decent chance 3:30 comes around and we all groan and roll our eyes)
  10. Nice catch, I never noticed that while trolling Kepler's player page: First half: .218 .317 .340 .656 Second half: .298 .347 .433 .779
  11. Damn it all, Parker. Stop calling me out like that.
  12. This is only a fair criticism if the deadline passes and Ryan hasn't found someone better or equal to Broxton. It's not like the guy was stolen away from the Brewers. He's a decent, not great, arm.
  13. I'm not sure the "prized" moniker should go alongside either of those guys but I definitely know it shouldn't go alongside one of them.
  14. Man, it seems there is a 3-4 team race this deadline to see which American League team can give up the most prospects to a National League team.
  15. That is a likely outcome but I think Byron is going to receive another ~100 PAs in Minnesota before the end of the season so it's hard to plan on much of anything right now.
  16. I think Kepler's likely ceiling is Scherzer because they're both named Max. Though Kepler's full name is Maximilian while Scherzer's is Maxwell so that's probably worth a couple of extra WAR.
  17. Interesting Stahoviak comp and while there are similarities, it should be noted that Scott received roughly half his MiLB PAs in the PCL. Kepler is posting similar numbers but he's doing it in a much more balanced Southern League. Also, Stahoviak struck out nearly twice for every walk taken while Kepler has a 1:1 ratio this season, though that is a relatively new thing for Max.
  18. I think it's unlikely the Twins dip under .500, especially if they pick up bullpen help. There's enough young talent on this team and enough of it is playing well that I think they can finish with 81 or more wins on the season.
  19. One word: ick. But, unlike Kimbrel, at least he doesn't come with that terrible "CLOSER" tag, which basically doubles a guy's value for no good reason.
  20. I think the best scenario is to create a quasi-platoon whenever possible. The Twins have enough warm bodies who can hit to make it work, provided they don't trade any of them today. Hicks still gets a considerable amount of PAs against righties but he doesn't play every day against them. Arcia occasionally gets the nod and plays the role of "horrible defensive Ben Zobrist" on the team, moving around, getting regular PAs, but not playing every day.
