    Last year he made it all the way to game 1. This year he didn't even make it to the opener. Maybe Lewis should be told to jog to 1st and DH only since he can't sprint without injuring himself.
  2. gmwannabe
    Canterino is already injured.

    While I totally agree that 90 wins should win the Central, in the playoffs your opponent usually has equally good pitching if not better. The team that scores more runs in each game wins 100% of the time, hence the need for better offense which the Twins did not address.

    100% agree with bean5302, no, no, no, and no!

    Ober and Duran for Basallo and Mountcastle. Long term catching solution (who can also play 1st when not catching) and 1st base solved. The money is about a wash. Now get Cease to replace Ober.

    Falvey must have assured the Pohlad's that he would either trade Vasquez or Paddock to pay for Bader.
  7. gmwannabe
    I wouldn't give Boston Ober or Ryan for Casas, but I would offer Duran and Miranda for Casas. Stop with the nonsense that power hitting 1st baseman are a dime a dozen. Only Vlad and Harper hit 30 HR's last year. CASAS hit 13 in 68 games, do the math.
  8. gmwannabe
    So much for that rumor, the Padres just signed Diaz to catch.

    If you can aquire an ace you give SD what they want. SD is looking for salary relief so I think the Twins have to pay down 5 million of Vasquez's salary rather than giving SD more trade capital. I'm thinking Larnach, Vasquez, and Matthews would get it done. Use Castro in left until the trade deadline and hopefully E-Rod takes over. Of course the Twins will have to move Paddock to pay for Cease with the 5 million they save on Vasquez combined with the 3 million they would save by trading Castro at the deadline.
  10. gmwannabe
    I believe that a deal with SD for Cease can only happen if the Twins agree to pay half of Vasquez's contract which still saves them 5 million because their motivation is reducing payroll and acquiring a catcher who they are interested in. So i would offer Vasquez, 5 million, Raya, and Larnach if you believe E-Rod will be playing in a corner by mid-season. If you can get a top starter, you do it!

    Castro and Duran for Dalton Rushing. Get catcher position solidified.
  12. gmwannabe
    I'm trading Castro and E-Rod for Dalton Rushing. We need a catcher more than hoping Emma is good enough to take the starter role from Larnach or Wallner.
  13. gmwannabe
    I'm hoping to have Connor Prielipp in the pen by mid season and being very good unless his left arm falls off of course!
  14. gmwannabe
    Neither! Who's catching to replace him?
  15. gmwannabe
    Does anyone remember who the Jay's top prospects were at the time this deal was made? If Martin and SWR were their #2 and #5 rated prospects, that's probably as good as we were going to get.
  16. gmwannabe
    Mountcastle is a better hitter than Miranda and he hits home runs, Miranda does not. Better defender also. I'm taking a veteran with a track record and a reasonable contract over hoping for Miranda 's upside which may or may not happen.
  17. gmwannabe
    Mountcastle & Basallo for Lopez. 15 million savings, first base and catcher solved. 2 everyday players for 1 who plays every 5 days. Don't ask me who pitches game 1 if we make the playoffs!
  18. gmwannabe
    Rushing or no deal Dodgers!
  19. gmwannabe
    Mountcastle is very obtainable and better than any of the stiffs listed. 6 million per year is doable by trading Paddock to the O's plus a couple of mid level prospects.
  20. gmwannabe
    I believe that Boston would trade Duran for Lopez if they miss out on Burnes because they could move Abreu to center and slot Roman Anthony in left. 5 years of Duran in center, moving Buxton to left and Larnach to DH vs. 3 years of Lopez while saving 17 million while painful, is adding a very good right handed bat and extending Buxton's ability to stay on the field.
  21. gmwannabe
    I had Teel at the top of my wish list. Time to grab Rushing from the Dodgers before he's gone too. Castro and Duran?
  22. gmwannabe
    TopGunn#22: your trade proposal with Boston is spot on! I have wracked my brain trying to come up with a deal to get Teel, but I do believe the Twins would have to kick in 5 million towards Vasquez's salary or add a prospect (possibly as high up as Raya) to the deal for Boston to say yes. Again, I would do this deal.
  23. gmwannabe
    I like the idea of Jax converting to a starter because if he succeeds and the Twins can trade Paddock they can keep SWR, Matthews, Festa, and Raya rotating the 5th starter role via the bus from St. Paul and add an extra day off between starts here and there for Jax. Starting pitching is too expensive for a team on a budget!
  24. gmwannabe
    T&R...if you want Ford included in your deal it will take more than Miranda and Topa. They may do Lewis for Miller straight up but I wouldn't. Lewis, Keaschall, & Raya might get it done for Miller and Ford. I'd do that.
  25. gmwannabe
    I don't see the Twins dealing Vasquez because I don't believe they are willing to throw in any money to move him. Trading Paddock to a team needing starting pitching depth should net a prospect but i think the Twins keep him and trade Castro to get payroll where they need it to be.
