    Way to go, Twins! That's what you needed to do!
  2. MMMordabito
    It's a Hernandez crew, so they're already down a man.
  3. MMMordabito
    Cruuuuuz!
  4. MMMordabito
    I like how they flash up the stats vs. the White Sox ... Unfortunately, there are the White Sox and then there is Giolito
  5. MMMordabito
    Ryan Goins is their #5?
  6. MMMordabito
    Dammit, Schoop! You had him blowing through the pitch count!
  7. MMMordabito
    Berrios has that aura tonight. Keep the mojo, Jose! Do something special!

    There's an Office Space joke in there somewhere.

    After reading that, I must be way overpaying. I would like to think a 40-man worthy to the Twins is more than a 40-man worthy to KC. Is giving them Davis basically like just saying, "Here, now you don't have to use one of your Rule 5 picks. You just have to use a 40-man spot."

    Posada and Berra's team records are very much in jeopardy now.

    If there is something to exploit, Tampa will find it.

    Anything less than 5-2 against the White Sox and Marlins, and I will probably lean toward the sentiment of the OP. I'll give Giolito and one of the Marlins young starters some pre-series props, but a division-champ hungry team pounds the pee out of those two teams (collectively 7-13 in their last 10 each, with 3 of those games against each other) right now.

    I would love for the Twins to get Kennedy. Since it isn't my money, I would trade a package of lower end guys that have to hit the 40 and a GCL flyer to the Royals and take on all the salary. I doubt the Twins would do that though. Jaylin Davis, Jovani Moran and Donny Breek for Ian Kennedy and his full salary. I'm not as high on Diekman at this point. He walks way too many guys and that's been killing the Twins. I'd rather just go rent a LOOGY like Avilan from the Mets. Avilan doesn't have any control, but he won't make sense in 2020 anyway with the new 3 batter rule. The Mets are not deploying him properly.

    Diaz and Gordon have to be at the top of the list for movement from the Falvine side of the deal. They still have some prospect shine to go along with good seasons. Both will need 40-man slots. I would move both to get some relief pitching. Even rentals. Davis, Wiel and Blankenhorn are all good options for toss-ins to push a deal through. I don't see them being added or protected. If any of the higher end pitching prospects get moved, I hope they are part of a deal that brings back pitching that will help at least through 2020. Balazovic should only move for a high end return. He doesn't need to be added to the 40 for another year. It sucks that Graterol only has 200 pro innings and he already needs to be added to the 40. Injuries suck. It's kind of the same with Griffin Jax, but he was serving our country. I kind of hope he sticks around.

    Torres is a throw-away placeholder .... He might not even pitch .... He may have just been selected in case Smeltzer melted down and they needed to bridge the gap to Adrianza. Smeltzer took care of that possibility and even helped with the lack of an off day this week. My best guess is that Torres only gets to pitch if tonight's game is a laugher one way or the other. Considering the pitching matchup, I'm guessing that won't be the case.
  16. MMMordabito
    Berríos vs Giolito could be a matchup that we see several times the next few years. Hopefully a good one with a faster pace tonight. Apparently, the Cubs know how to get to Giolito, so maybe the Twins should watch those archives before the game. Bomba #200 should come in this series. Who will hit it? I'm calling Sano, since he also hit #100.
  17. MMMordabito
    Off the bat of Butera, I believe.
  18. MMMordabito
    Faux All Star Odorizzi ... Unwatchable yet again ... Glad he's an FA after this season
  19. MMMordabito
    I hear Cody Allen was told to get his S%^ of the top bunk. Fellow bullpen-fix Wily Peralta will likely be signing a minor league deal soon. "We see something in his delivery that Wes Johnson can fix (even though he is in Minnesota while Wily will be in Rochester). He's basically going to be a right-handed Chapman when we're done, and JP was OK with expenditure. We'd like to thank JP for his willingness to loosen the purse strings and help us make this deal that should really lock things down during the stretch run."

    Well, if he isn't happy, he can just call a bunch of people racists. That seems to be the default these days.
  21. MMMordabito
    Numbers don't lie. He relatively sucks. Stat - Parker - AL Rank for Relievers K% - 21.7% - 56 BB% - 10.2% - 56 xFIP - 4.71 - 61 FIP - 5.35 - 77
  22. MMMordabito
    Well stated. My angst with Parker is that I just don't think it can get much better.
  23. MMMordabito
    Tailspin time ... Parker should join Morin and Magill ... Duffey got hosed ... Offense can play with anyone when they are on, but not having the horses to protect a six run lead after four and then a four run lead after seven is pathetic
  24. MMMordabito
    They must have kicked the s*** out of him the "right way".
  25. MMMordabito
    How about a buy low on Dylan Bundy? Could the Twins tweak some things to pull down his HR-rate? Two more years of control. Would Mike Leake actually be an effective target? I'm sure Seattle would like that deal off the books. May not have to give up much in prospects. He is what he is, but he gets deep in ball games (7-7+ IP seven times, less than 5 IP only once) and should help in keeping the pen rested down the stretch. One more year of control @ $16 mill. Robbie Erlin is another interesting player. The Twins need another lefty (unless Thorpe is going to be that guy). He's been down under a .367 BABIP this season, but the peripherals seem better. One more year of control. These guys aren't the Verlanders and Chapmans of the market, but they will likely not cost more than chump change to low level 20-30 rated prospects. I think all three either have upside or fill a need at a lower cost. I want the Twins to go for it, but I'm long on the core team. I don't think a guy like Stroman will get them over the hump, so I'd let someone else overpay.
