    All in favor of baseball trades, like for like.

    Taking a look at the standings tonight, guess who else is competing for a wild card spot? Yankees and Red Sox: oh, and the Guardians. Hovering within a game of the Twins in that race are Seattle, Houston, Baltimore. Jeffers is the best chip to deal. I'd keep Ryan for now.

    Garver and Jeffers in Seattle. That would be bizarre. BTW, I've always considered trading prospects for established players the domain of the baseball haves, NYY, LAD, Boston, Philadelphia, Mets, etc. The Twins are in no position either on the field, or in the bank account, to give up potential cost controlled players, some of whom might be really good, at this point. If it's a baseball trade of equivalents, then maybe.

    I don't expect the Twins to make any kind of move that would put any of their top prospects in play. They would be foolish to trade any of them for the small chance to get knocked out of the playoffs early.. Unlike the Wild, they are not in "win now" mode. Their window is tomorrow, once these great prospects are in the bigs. The White Sox are in position to add, not the Twins. I expect the Twins to add more Nance level help, which isn't a bad approach.

    I wouldn't surprised if the Twins had Tinney high on their board because they expected Lackey to go 1 or 2. When he was still there at 43, and Twins had already done due diligence on him, I get the pick. He is an interesting prospect, much more than Sabato, because catcher., About Sabato I hope he gets a September call up and some at bats. He has persevered for 6 years and has gotten better. It would be a nice reward for a loyal soldier to give him a Twins jersey for his trophy case.

    After just 16 games, 2 years younger than league average. More than holding his own. A+ to AA is a big jump. I never said anything about AAA. They have a pretty good shortstop up there already.

    Been looking over drafts from the 2020s, and after reading some comments about rankings and such, I've found the perfect debunker of conglomerate ranking systems, Mike Paredes. 18th round draft pick out after a lackluster college career: taken out of San Diego State after posting 77 IP, 82 hits allowed, 65Ks, and an ERA over 5. Only 5'11", 185lbs. Not the statistical profile you'd expect to do more than flame out in A ball. But as the years progressed, the hits allowed went down, the Ks went up, and an 18th rounder made the show. He hasn't been great, but not a disaster either. Not sure what the Twins scouts saw in him, but they saw something that made him a big leaguer, perhaps only a short while, but still. Interestingly, in just 29 IP, he has the 2nd highest WAR of that draft class, 0.2, after 13th rounder David Festa's 0.7. Better than Chase Petty, Noah Miller, Cade Povich. Encarnacion Strand, Travis Adams, and even Kyler Fedko.

    Got to watch Houston for a couple games with the Kernels, and man he just looks the part in the field. The hitting and base running haven't slowed a bit since his promotion. Poor man's Trea Turner?

    I noticed that few of the Twins' picks were ranked higher on Baseball America than MLB, if that makes folks feel better. Just remember, for all the rankings out there, every team passed on Aaron Judge until he was picked 32nd overall by the Yankees. The Twins picked Kohl Stewart at number 4 that year. A very inexact science is drafting baseball players.

    Last time the Twins picked a catcher from Georgia Tech in round 1, the stinker didn't sign! Jason Varitek. Just think, it things had gone differently,, the Twins could have moved forward with Varitek and Ortiz, not Boston.

    Martin has 1.1 WAR this season, compared to 0.6 for Keaschall.

    Upper 90s gas is so passe. Gimme a big yakker anyday. So many hitters struggle with the breaking balls.

    Taj Bradley - this guy has been amazing.

    Go with it - one series with the damn billionaire Dodgers aside, they've won series against St. Louis, Rangers, D'Backs, Rockies, and Astros over the last weeks. This is a club that is one reliable relief pitcher away from shocking the world. Most runs scored ain't nothing.
