    Give him a shot this September. He was so firmly in the bust category for so long, but he persevered, put in the time and work, and dammit, he deserves a little reward. The OPS against lefties alone is reason enough. Maybe don't even wait until September.

    At least Jones is a prospect. That's why I enjoy minor league ball: some are going up, others are going down

    Yaay, keeps a shred of hope alive.

    This is a good start- Amick has 23 homers this year as a slightly underage AA player, 2nd rounder, so a decent asset heading New York's way. Twins getting back a guy with a career 3.18 ERA over 10 years and 382 IP.. Fewer hits allowed than innings pitched, more strikeouts than IP. Solid baseball trade.

    I watched Tait in Cedar Rapids, and he looked better than a 19 year old should. Over three games, he had a runner thrown out, and a 2 homer game. Interesting fact: he's just about 1 year younger than Lackey. What a luxury to have mucho prospects at catcher and shortstop. Next, center field.

    Well, they signed all their draft picks and spent over their pool allowance of 16.9 million to do so. That is probably the best way forward for the Twins: draft, develop, find diamonds in the rough. I wouldn't touch the blue chippers on the farm to improve this Twins team. They showed right after the All-Star break that they are capable of dropping right out of the race just like that.

    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.
  31. AlLagoon
    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.
  32. AlLagoon
    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.

    Great write-up. Thanks.

    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.
