    Three guys mentioned, zero talk of their salary or what it would take to get them. You could be talking about anybody.
  2. Twins GFP
    Agreed. The "change of scenery" argument holds as well. The Twins continue their trend of finding positive reclamation projects. Ideally you want this to be the 11th best thing about your club, not the 4th.

    I laughed when I read this title, it felt like click-bait. Of course the Twins don't WANT to trade Jeffers. A top-third catcher, still relatively young, serving a position of need. But the reality is that Jeffers is a Boras client. The chances of him signing an extension are basically nil. As a FA, he will be priced out of the Twins market. If he is healthy by the deadline, they will move him for the best package.

    Similar thoughts about the radio booth on a daily basis...

    This is the conundrum... Do the Twins call up guys now to see what they have? If they do, they risk further development of said player by eliminating them from MiLB play during the lockout. Is it worth that risk, especially understanding a large portion of the 2027 MLB season is expected to be lost.
  6. Twins GFP
    Upon further investigation, it looks like no service time is accrued during a lock out. However, as was mentioned elsewhere, MiLB players will continue to play during the lockout unless they have been called up. This will clog up calling up the prospects.
  7. Twins GFP
    I am having a hard time believing they will burn any of his service time this year. especially with the upcoming strike. I would imagine he would accrue service time if he is on the roster during the strike, which the Twins will not want.

    Wallner fits the mold of a change-of-scenery candidate. For whatever reason, he just can't seem to put it all together on a consistent basis in MN.

    While the trade seemed odd at the time, no one will really know why the trade was made. Were there behind-the-scenes issues? Did someone of importance want him gone? Did the Twins truly believe he was not going to help them long term? Did they believe they received better value in return? A half-season of a reliever is about the most unreliable thing you can base results on. While the trade looks bad now, it will take a few years to truly see the results.
  10. Twins GFP
    Yup.

    Truth #6: Despite everything and everyone, the Twins are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. If they decided to do ANYTHING to bolster the bullpen, they would be fighting for the division.
  12. Twins GFP
    I have been ok with most of the changes baseball has implemented over the years, but this decision is a train wreck. Taking a popularity contest and putting something so important as WS HFA as a result is truly sad.
  13. Twins GFP
    Considering he isn't on the 40-man, it is highly doubtful he will get an opportunity without a couple of injuries. Odds are more likely he will become a free agent after this year and go somewhere he will have a better opportunity

    And each team is going to use some combination of those numbers (and privately more) putting more weight on what they believe is more necessary or accurate. SDI is nice for the general fan to get an idea of how MLB players are viewed defensively. It would be nice if some ambitious programmer/web builder were to amalgamate the MiLB information into one spot to give the fans something to go off of. That person is not me... Thanks for the legwork!
  15. Twins GFP
    It would be interesting to know why there isn't a (public) SDI for MiLB. The metrics seem to be available. Even if it is a sample size issue, I would imagine there is enough interest in 2A and 3A to make it doable.
  16. Twins GFP
    The initial quote I was responding to insinuated they sit Larnach for Roden so they could trade Larnach. I could have read it wrong, but that is how I took it.
  17. Twins GFP
    Could be fun, especially with his proclivity for story telling... I just don't want to listen to his attempts at calling Twins games on the radio.
  18. Twins GFP
    You beat me to the punch...
  19. Twins GFP
    So bench Larnach and his 122 OPS+? If they are going to trade Larnach, then trade him. You can't bench him. He has earned his playing time so far this year.

    I am not looking to list specific players they should target, nor am I asking you to do it as well. Neither of us is in a position to do that. You are basically saying that because we are in June, moves can't be made There are cheap, reliable RP to be had regardless of your opinions. I am not mocking ownership, I am calling them out. My starting point on this is that Pohlad is not putting his wallet where his mouth is. If he truly believes this is a competitive team, he should be doing more than scouring the daily DFA list. By not making even the smallest of moves, he is showing his true colors.
  21. Twins GFP
    Well, for starters, there are currently 7 teams with a winning % under .450 and at least 5 games out of the wild card. Amongst those teams are 30 RP that are making $5m or less. I would probably start there. Complain about the horrible bullpen, then mock any discussion to improve this bullpen...
  22. Twins GFP
    After being initially somewhat optimistic about having a new Pohlad at the realm, I am ready to call anything he says Bull***t. I don't care about the weakened state of the American League or the AL Central. You have to take everything year-by-year. This team is currently 4.5 games out of 1st placed and 1.5 games out of the Wild Card. The Twins have blown the most leads of any team in baseball. They are currently in the race and have an obvious hole that can easily be filled. Forget the trade deadline. For them to not go out RIGHT NOW and acquire two low-end, reliable RP (probably spending less than $10M total) to help this team get into the playoffs says everything you need to know about how this Pohlad truly feels about this team. Talk is cheap. Lack of movement says everything.
  23. Twins GFP
    I am more than willing to accept I was wrong in my assessment... I am happy to see that he is now willing to play 1B. Let's hope that AAA bat finds it's way back for the big club.
  24. Twins GFP
    I knew that one was coming, but I was thinking of this one: https://youtu.be/bn08vlj7mYU?t=1408
  25. Twins GFP
    Not looking to pick a fight, just balancing the scale: 1) The daily outcry on this site with Gasper on the roster should not be forgotten 2) The outcry was earned as he carried an OPS+ of 39 in MN 3) Moran has been a typical RP to date... to paraphrase a quote on Minnesota weather: If you don't like a relief pitcher, wait 10 minutes. Don't forget his 5.74 ERA his last season in MN For their sakes, I wish them success. From a Minnesota POV: eh.
