    I agree it was a bone head play but saying that this might be the play that keeps us out of the playoffs is a leap at best. Had Royce thrown the player out at the plate after touching first we still would have gone into extra innings. You can't treat this like we would have won.

    Off topic I know .. But I have come to the conclusion the Twins aren't willing to bring up Jenkins, Cullpepper or EMA because they don't want to block them from more miner league development in the event of a lockout. Or beging the clock on their major league service ..

    Rental is the key word ..

    Hasn't Buxtons glute and hips caused him to be in and out of the line up for the last year and a half. Even if he comes back in 10 days he will be out at least one more time before the end of the season

    Interesting take. But Houston is already batting .366 with a slugging percentage of 956 at AA .. At this pace he will be ready next year. Maybe the Twins see that and is a reason Culpepper is (possibly) a trade candidate. But Culpepper is coming off an injury so most likely they are just taking ot easy with him. But Gonzalez and EMA make sense ..

    Damn, moving Culpepper would be swinging for the fences. Ema aa well. Gonzales is a solid prospect that could bring a good reliever. We will know soon ..

    I held my breath before seeing who we gave up. After, I said HELL YEAH! GREAT TRADE!

    Thats Any Given Sunday and this wasn't Sunday .. j/k

    Excellent Article! Thx And I agree with all ...
  11. saviking
    Exactly. This team is defensively challenged. They could strengthen it with Jenkins in Center, Cullpepper at short and now that EMA has been actived he could play right field strengthening all three positions. They all 3 have a high onbase percentage, power and only have to hit equal to Gray, Kreidler and Roden who is hitting .181 .. Minimum if any downside and potentially major uoside. BUT, it's not going to happen because the Twind do not want to start their service times.

    Play-Off odds.. He'll, their odds to win the Division might be better. Just dawned on me that the best way to get fans in the seats next year is to be the reigning divisional champion. Maybe they should go all out at the trade deadline.
  13. saviking
    It just dawned on me with all the wildcard spot that we actually have a reasonable chance of winning the division. Nothing would get fans in the seats more next year than being the Division Champion.

    You say should the Twins add the lefthander but show a picture of a right hander
  15. saviking
    I'm fine with one of these power arms for Jeffers. If nothing else maybe we could turn them into a late inning reliever ...
  16. saviking
    A potential lockout makes thing really up in the air about next year. But sure, if I knew the Twins woukd come uo with money to pay Jeffers one more year and if he signed elsewhere we got compensated I would be all for it. He could bridge the gap until Lackey arrived. But no, I don't think the Twins would come uo with the money.
  17. saviking
    Does anyone really believe the Twins would offer Jeffers 23 million and risk him taking it?
  18. saviking
    Great response!
  19. saviking
    Still to early to tell. There is a log jam for the final spot or spots. Anything can happen. Even the Twins winning the division ..

    what confuses me is if the owners win the salary cap war and the Twins are mandated to spend 171 million, don't they want to sign Ryan to a multi year contract to help fill that gap? Maybe Jeffers as well BUT .. His replacement isn't far away and there is a lot of depth below him. But if the Twins get hot and move into contention maybe you just keep Jeffers for the play off run and them let him walk for nothing? If we do tag Jeffers does anyone know the salary commitment? And I wonder if that would keep a team from paying more leading to compensation. That would be kind of a game of chicken move.

    Im confused. If the new minimum might be 171 mill sounds like we need to spend alot MORE money. Signing Ryan to a 32 mill a year contract would make up half that gap. Let's sign Ryan then .. Jeffers and or Larnach can go because we have replacements coming up. Then spend another 12-15 mill in the off season strengthening out bullpen

    Seattle is the only trade package of interest .
  25. saviking
    Well, we either trade Jeffers or lose him. Plus we have an over abundance of outfielders. So Jeffers and a left-handed outfielder makes sense. The big question is do we part ways with Ryan now or in the off season. And what do we get for him? We have infield, out field and Cather covered soon. Maybe a couple of high level pitching prospects in the minerleague and a mid rotation reliver?
