  1. If we trade a starter before the deadline, Berrios better be the replacement. If we don't trade a starter before the deadline, Berrios better replace Duffy. I was perfectly willing to allow Milone and Nolasco to play out the string to the trade deadline and I've been perfectly willing to let Duffy work things out in the Majors, but if Berrios makes one more start at AAA it has to be one of the most baffling, moronic, unforgivable decisions in Twins Front Office history.
  2. Yeah, most people's opinion on trading Dozier is decided by their opinion of Polanco. Baring a trade of him, Polanco will be on this team next year. He's out of options and we aren't going to expose him. I personally thing that as a rookie, Polanco could provide most of the value (different value) that Dozier provides.... at a fraction of the cost. Does saving that money allow the GM to spend it somewhere there is not an obvious replacement? I think so.... So, I'd trade Dozier, assuming we get a decent offer.
  3. I was just thinking about this this morning.... I'm not scouting scale expert, but I assume each of those guys would be at least 70 on the Power tool, and maybe borderline 80. Interesting to see 3 of those guys on the same AAA team at the same time. I suspect they will all remain there until Rochester's season is done, but I suppose if Park is deemed to have "figured it out" he might get the call back up, especially if Vargas comes back to earth.
  4. At least Berrios got to pitch. Meyer just sat there.
  5. I respectfully disagree. Milone for sure and Nolasco to a lesser extend would be viewed, by teams that are desperate, as stopgaps. Short term success might not portend long-term success, but the short term success could continue. Analytics might not recognize that players can "get on a roll" but you'd be niave to think that it's not a real thing
  6. I never would have sent Berrios down in the first place, but at this point, I'd wait out the 10 more days hoping upon hope that a few teams get desperate. This is about what I would do. I'd wait 10 more days. If the Twins are of the mind to try to get value from Nolasco and Milone, would they keep Berrios down longer? I can't answer that.
  7. If Berrios isn't up yet (and as of 1:07 CDT 7/20/16, that is the case), then I leave him down there until August 1st. It's a lost season and Jose could be making major league starts. I get that, but two more starts in AAA isn't going to change anything about his future. Waiting until Aug 1 allows Nolasco and Milone to get two more starts. We all want them gone, but none of us think we can get anything for them. I mostly agree, but if they pitch decent over those couple starts (like they did the last two games), then you might get a desperate team either willing to take on salary (mostly a Nolasco issue) and/or part with a lottery ticket prospect. Benching them takes that possibility away.
  8. I can't wait for Berrios to burn through 30 more innings over his next 4 (AAA) starts only to have him shutdown by mid September.
  9. It's a little hard to complain about our bullpen after the last two days. Can Chargois start?
  10. Here's how it should go down... 1) Trade Plouffe 2) If #1 happens, then start Sano there every day 3) If #2 fails terribly, then stopgap the position with Nunez 4) If #3 fails terribly, then we've seen that the offseason supply of major league 3b exceed the demand.
  11. He's truly the Suzuki Ichiro of his generation
  12. Good call Molly.... save Jepsen for when we have a lead. The handshake line.
  13. They are only going to hand them out to people sitting from the visitors dugout to the left field foul pole
  14. We can trade Nunez to the Royals 2 days before a failed drug test. Payback!!!!
  15. Our youngsters are seriously struggling with this guy's slider
  16. NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Stay sitting! I like this Nunez.
  17. We're not playing more baseball until tomorrow
