    I completely agree with this 100%. An the Cubs and other teams have owners willing to spend.

    I agree that this proposed trade is not enough. That said, the Twins would be foolish to offer up Lewis or Romero. They have all kinds of cash next season, sign a FA catcher and keep the prospects.

    I was with some Twins minor league instructors at a non profit event this past weekend. They said some nice things about Alston, which you would expect. I found it interesting how Alston does not believe in a true slide step because he believes it's not worth the loss of velocity. It seems they are teaching a small V kick to keep velocity up and to get the ball to home quicker than the windup. It was an interesting conversation.

    I think you have to pick your poison for sure. I believe the pitchers are asking for Wilson.

    Poor Eddie has no shot against Stanton and all of New York voting.

    People get traded in the everyday world?

    Did Cody accidently flip Cave and Grantie's rankings? Seems to me that Cave is player who should be ranked 15 spots higher. Better bat, better arm, and has enough defense to be effective.

    In general I agree, but that non prospect is taking playing time away from someone.

    Trade Buxton at all time low value with options? No thanks.

    The Beat writers certainly could be wrong, but they've both already said Mauer and Molitor will both be back next year.

    There's a reason the kid brought five gloves. If he could catch at this level, he wouldn't need the other four.

    I was thinking the same thing, which is why I asked the question. Not sure how I feel about a poor man's Butera….

    A food for thought thread for sure. Not sure what I think except Cal Ripken is not happy with this thread. I'd be more interested in seeing what Houston, Seattle, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City are doing comparatively, but no way I'm doing the work.

    The real question is does playing Garver at catcher the majority of the time affect his pitchers more than it helps him? Pitching is the most important position in the game, if having a substandard catcher limits any of the pitchers, I don't think it's worth the investment at this level.
  15. mngopherguy
    I have as a starter and the organization seems to agree. The kid stabs at almost every pitch. If we want him on the roster. he's a backup catcher, DH, maybe 1st base. The problem right now is his hitting isn't worth it .

    With the front office picking rule 5 players, and all the guys they've claimed over they time here, shows me they are not that high on the minor league players and are doing anything they can to supplement them.
  17. mngopherguy
    We haven't seen enough of Garver behind the plate?
  18. mngopherguy
    Whats the chances Slegers gets another start? What are the chances he's sent down tomorrow?
  19. mngopherguy
    Could he be Drew Butera 2.0?
  20. mngopherguy
    Haven't people been working with these guys for years? Maybe someone can help them, but I tend to think they are who they are by now.
  21. mngopherguy
    Astudillo's name also popped up as someone to try - I don't understand why he hasn't been given a chance behind the dish. If the manager's standards are that high, no AAA backup is probably going to be given a better chance than Willians - a legitimate bat with Wilson's glove probably would already be a starter and thus unavailable. If a catcher has 5 gloves, he's not a catcher.
  22. mngopherguy
    The way they are losing games screams zero confidence to me as well.
  23. mngopherguy
    I wonder if after Slegers starts if he will be optioned and a different AAA guy will be up. Shell game I guess.
  24. mngopherguy
    We could try the old tire race on screen from the says at the dome.

    When will this nightmare end? For the love of God, I can't take another term. It feels like he's been POTUS for 12 already.
