    I actually had thought about a Castellenos signing myself. Mostly in looking ahead with Cruz maybe moving on after 2020. I had two options in mind. Nick at 1B and everyone else stays as is or a move to 1B by Rosario or Kepler and Nick playing COF.
  2. sweetmusicviola16
    That's my question as well. He has 6 errors at 1B in essentially 25 games there. In a full season at the position that amounts to over 35 errors. If we're serious about contending in 2020 is that really what we want?
  3. sweetmusicviola16
    Hill is already injured from what I recall so he will not be ready to start the season. Only way I sign him is on a league minimum contract with appearance incentives. If that can't be done then I pass. Walker and Wood I'm all for. Both have high upside and would give us some good potential depth along with Dobnak, etc. Maybe a similiar type of deal that Peraz got last winter would work on both Wood and Walker? Toussaint is also my other desired acquisition. This is the plan I expect to be taken as I honestly don't think our FO has the moxie to pull off a major trade.

    At first glance this list doesn't impress. But in all honesty a couple of these guys could be very helpful and in the case of Will Harris might even be very good. Harris has done nothing in his career except pitch very well. The other one that I could see us utilizing would be McHugh. I don't know if I'd sign him to the tune of 6mil but he's a guy who could be on either end of an opener scenario. He's actually had some decent runs as an SP throughout his career but might be better served as a pairing with someone like Graterol at this point.

    I don't know how accurate the trade values site is either. But it's just plain a fun thing to play with from time to time. It lets the average fan play GM.
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    For Clevinger I was going to say before I ever read your post that it would take Lewis and Graterol. But I'd guess also one of Larnach and Kirriloff. The Tribe is not throwing in the 2020 towel w/o an overpay. So really imho any of us dreaming about Clevinger is a waste of our time writing about it and reading about it. If I'm Cle I'm not trading him to the Twins w/o taking a big bite out of our future. Archer? I'd agree to a trade for Gordon. Likely have to throw in another wild card to get it done though. I wouldn't mind Archer as a bounceback player. He's probably even a likely one to do so. But I still want to see someone who can slide into the #3 slot in addition to him.
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    Chris Archer is another obvious trade candidate.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    With the season starting March 26 it's likely a good idea not to start at home. imo baseball in MN before April 10 is not a good idea.
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    I don't see most of these guys as being available even. Boyd is if Avila gets an overpay. And from a Central rival he'll likely ask for more even. Luchessi, maybe SD would let him go if they could get rid of Wil Meyers. I'd bet they still want a prospect back besides. Most of the players you list are for competing teams and players they will be relying upon themselves. We are behind the eight ball. I'd suggest signing both Walker and Wood if we can. A name I threw out in a thread last night might be someone we could pry loose. Tousi Toussaint from Atlanta. He's buried in their depth charts and maybe for someone well regarded in A ball they might would let him go.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    I'll throw another name out for trade, Touki Tousaint of Atlanta. Young, talented, high upside and buried in Atlanta's depth chart.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Someone mentioned pairing him with Littel I believe. Littell the first two innings and then Graterol for four and then its handed off to the pen for 7-9. Graterol gets 120IP this way and Littell can still be used in between "starts". I'd get behind this if Graterol is ready. But it was mentioned that we could "develop him at the ML level. If he needs developing then send him to Rochester. We're contending at this point not using the ML to develop.
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    What next? I don't think there are a great number of options at this point. Or good ones either. But I would sign Walker first of all. Next is trade. I don't think Ray is really available right now. No to Price and Boyd. Clevinger is not happening here either if anywhere but Cle. Matz would intrigue me but the Mets look to be wanting to contend and I'd think Metz would stay as opposed to Wacha. That leaves Archer as maybe our best option for trade. If this is the best I'd like to see it pursued to success. WE have to have other options than just Smeltzer and Dobnak with no backup in place.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    I think both are counting the days until they can leave.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    I believe Buxton too will be an FA after 2022 so that makes him very iffy if he will still be here for 2023.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    It is faster moving this season. But on the trade front, very little.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    The guys I would like to see the Twins get: Sign Walker- 2/13 Trade for both Ray and Steven Matz. No such thing as too much pitching. If at any point you have a glut there should be a buyer. No to Price, Boyd. Clevinger isn't realistic imo. Gray I'd be for also.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Thanks. Then if he is someone we actually want to pursue we should get it done then. I'd welcome Ray, but for the price mentioned. I'm not interested if the price is Larnach, Balozovic, etc. I'd have Duran as a no trade for Ray as well.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    I would agree with trading for Ray for less than our non top 5 prospects. As for Ray, if we traded for him now we could extend a QO to him after the season if he wasn't extended thereby having him for 2 seasons. If however he was not acquired until after the season started is he then ineligible for a QO? I seem to remember that being the case. But I have heard AZ wanting to see how their season goes before considering a trade.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    First they have to make the PO's and I don't see them as a shoe in as some do. CWS is much better. Cle has yet not torn its team apart. LAA, NYY, Tex among others have improved greatly. MN has stood pat with a team that over performed in 2019. I see a house of cards that with one or two cards giving way the whole house does. Having a rotation that is reliant on untested rookies is not a good way to offset other weakness imo.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    Why did the Twins FO have interest in these guys then? Or did they just all of a sudden become not good players after we failed to get any of them?
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    Sign both Wood and Walker and make a trade. These guys should both sign for a year for 6mil I would guess. And unless their arms fall off at least they buy time for the milb players to get some more time under their belts. Wood and Walker offer the best upside of what's left imo. No to Homer Bailey please.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Not to mention the market has already been set by Wheeler of 23.5 per, which the FO wouldn't meet. Why would they do differently for Jake? They've made it clear. Players come here on a discount or they sign the next Martin Perez.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    That's why Jake Odorizzi will be gone soon too. These guys either get what they think is a deal or they don't budge. He should have been extended instead of receiving a QO. Bye Jake. Our starting rotation for opening day barring any injuries: 1. Berrios 2. Odorizzi 3. ? 4. ? 5. ?
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes unbelievable. Price is shot. The least of Dobnak, Thorpe, Smeltzer, Graterol and Romero are better than Price at this point. At most I'd be willing to take on 10mil per season of his contract and no prospect of significance going to Boston in return. 4/80 for Ryu bad. 3/96 for Price good. smh
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    I honestly thought a 3/66 would get him. A 4/80 just means that last season is low risk in terms of outlay. This FO has failed since the start of the 2018-19 off season to acquire what is most glaringly needed.
