  1. Lol @ the Angels Fans who thought they were getting Max Kepler
  2. Why can't we have nice things?
  3. There are going to be a variety of headlines on this one.... Twins acquire... Twins trade.... Twins swap.... Angels acquire.... Angels swap....
  4. I'm not so sure 2017 is the Twins option. I know that has been talked about on here, but I've seen absolutely no evidence of it anywhere else.
  5. The real Olney account has an underscore in it.
  6. Funny... I had tabbed Reid-Foley and Pentecost and was trying to figure out my 3rd piece. Was thinking Perdomo
  7. Well he certainly didn't order Dominican. He's ridding the organization of all things Dominican.
  8. Can't you just pre-write a bunch of articles?
  9. I know we have fun ripping on Tommy Milone, but he's going to make 8-figure money in his MLB career. Lachlan Wells would love to turn into Tommy Milone and anyone who has a potential to be a "Tommy Milone" should be in every teams top 30 list.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. misread on my part. carry on
  13. From MLBTR: While I personally am in the "keep him" camp, if Rob Antony really believes that a pitcher of Santana's ability is available in the offseason for the same price as our future commitment to Santana, then you move him. Option 1: Keep Santana Option 2: Get some prospects and sign the Santana clone in the offseason. I'm hoping that he's just saying stuff that GMs and doesn't really mean it.
  14. Good find. Head-scratcher.
  15. The last couple years, this had been completed by now. Given that these can be used in trades, it seems like something that would make sense to have completed before the trade deadline. Anyone know when this might happen?
  16. Well... after tomorrow night almost all of us can come to an agreement that Berrios should never make another start in AAA again. At this point we are talking about 1 start and an August 2nd MLB start by Berrios would be right on 5 days rest.
  17. 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.
  18. At least Berrios got to pitch. Meyer just sat there.
  19. theringer.com did a roughly 10,000 word article on all things trade deadline related and, unless I missed it, there were literally zero mentions of the Twins or any of our players.
  20. 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
