    Pretty rock solid. Light's impending career will always be compared to Alex Meyer for me, so far Meyer is hurt about 2-4 months out of 6 a yr every year, Light is out only about 1 or 2 months a yr every year. So far so good.
  2. shs_59
    Light is essentially a replacement for Meyer, so in affect its almost like trading Abad and Nolasco for Hector Santiago and the minor league which is a flat out steal! While opening up exactly 1 40-man roster spot by shedding Meyer.

    Rob Antony for full-time GM!!!! Nunez trade C+ (although at first i wasn't fully on board c-) Abad trade (value) A- Nolasco/ Meyer trade B+ all in all i'm thrilled as a Twins fan, that the direction is more positive at the end of the day then negative; throw that in with Mauer going deep and Mad Max Kepler going deep 3X that SURE helps! :-)

    Definately would do the Kintzler for Sandy ALcantara deal ! i was thinking the same thing all week long. NO Way the Cards would give up the following : RHP Jack Flaherty, RHP Luke Weaver, RHP Alexander Reyes, and SS edmundo sosa, of magnierus sierra, and C/3B Carson Kelly.... that leaves us with Sandy Alcantara, Junior Fernandez, Duaner Gonzalez, Jake Woodford, Ryan Helsly, and LHP Austin Gomber as the options. It be a tough choice, but I'd rank them as follows: 1. Alcantara 2. Gomber 3. Fernandez 4. Gonzalez 5. Helsly to get Alcantara i'd throw in Abad too, although the Cards prob wouldn't want him at all. (hopefully they see the value in Kintzler and agree to a match-up there)

    Eduardo Nunez might be having a career year in 2016... But i guarantee you he'll hit at least .285 for the Giants next season as well. Wouldn't surprise me if he was in the same .315 range for the majority of the yr. still a Low OB % guy but he's an underrated assett on winning teams Adnan Virk ,of ESPN, who knows baseball very well, COULD not BELIEVE the Twins got only Aldaberto Mejia for Eduardo Nunez he's like you got to get more if you're the Twins in that deal. (i'm not quite in his boat, but i thought we could of got another C+ prospect back as well)
  6. shs_59
    Rortvedt Minier Max Murphy Randy Rosario and Harrison, Garver,and Turner would be top 40.
  7. shs_59
    Of course, i agree with Seth..... they have LaMonte Wade, Daniel Palka, and Felix Jorge way too low. my list: 1. Berrios - (soon graduate) 2. Jay 3. Polanco - (although on his way down) 4. Gonsalves 5. Gordon 6. Kirilloff 7. Mejia 8. Romero 9. Stewart 10. Chargois 11. Palka 12. Jorge 13. Wade , LaMonte 14. Walker 15. Meyer 16. Wells , Lachlan 17. Vielma 18. Reed 19. Burdi 20. Javier , Wander 21. Granite, Zach 22. Melotakis, Mason 23. Blankenhorn - (could be mid or late teens depending on how he plays rest of yr.) 24. Hildenberger - (one of my favorite Twins 'spects) 25. Thorpe - (if healthy could be much higher) 26. Jax 27. Cabbage 28. Palacios 29. Landa 30. Lewin Diaz
  8. shs_59
    a LH'd Nolasco in his prime would be an exceptional outcome for Alderberto Mejia don't fool yourself. GO back and look at Nolasco's career seasons with Florida Marlins (before they were Miami)
  9. shs_59
    just a reminder for the last several twins potential lead-off hitters Denard Span = Nothing (meyer) Ben Revere = Trevor May and NOTHING (worley) Aaron Hicks = Nothing (murphy) and Now Nunez = Nothing or something? (mejia)
  10. shs_59
    personally i don't think Duffey has the stuff to succeed in the American League as a starting pitcher (currently) put him in the N.L and he's a future #3 or #4 starter long-term Here, with 2 curveballs (1-7) and big slow curve, and 2 fast-balls and THATS IT all he throws , topping at 91 or 93 MPH. he's a 5th starter, at best. Duffey needs to develop either a cutter or a change-up thats actually worthy of being used.
  11. shs_59
    absolutely why wouldn't he be? I'll say its a 60 / 40 chance he'll be a Sept. Call-up this yr
  12. shs_59
    Gotta say I"M impressed with MYSELF and Rob Antony to a lesser degree... as i've been floating out Nunez to Giants for weeks (s) now I offered up names such as Christian Arroyo and Clayton Blackburn for Nunez and Alex Meyer. so to get Aldaberto Mejia for Nunez in a 1 for 1 swap not too Bad I WOULD OF DONE BETTER , but not too shabby i can live with this one. not an 80 trade (aka Pierzynski for haul) or a 20 Capps for Ramos but somewhere in between, about a 60 or 65. (we could of pried Blackburn from them also but ohh well)
  13. shs_59
    Alex Anthropolous is with the Dodgers and their 6 or so GM's already in house. My top guys would be 1.) Jason McLeod - a Very good one, but i don't think he leaves the Cubbies. 2.) Ron Shapiro - former Cleveland GM, is decent freinds with Krivisky . 3.) Young guy - someone in their 30's or early 40's .... the next Doug Stearns or even A.J. Preller...... (the guy Jonah Hill portrayed in the moneyball movie got hired by an NFL team or NBA team recently TOO BAD!!!) -or he'd be #1 candidate Paul DePodesta !!! - too bad or he'd be my #1 candidate.
  14. shs_59
    I'd love someone like AJ Preller or Jon Daniels but realistically, it would be very hard to find a guy like that.
  15. shs_59
    I've submitted my Resume to the Minnesota Twins. Damn, too bad im probably tooooo late. I would LOVE to be GM. also i'm probably not qualified , if the Twins expect to build a winner, but I do think i'd be great as a member of the Front Office at the very least. No doubt there.
  16. shs_59
    Had the Twins picked up a true rental at last years trade deadline though, As Nick suggests, and then let the relief pitcher walk...via Free agency.... Maybe they would of been in on RP Seung-Hwan-Oh , the Releiver who came over from Korea in the off-season for cheap. Oh ended up going to St. Louis Cardinals on a 1 year contract with less money committed to than our very own Byung Ho-Park Park + Oh would sure make the Twins current situation a bit better Sure would be nice , but Hindsight is a b*tch.
  17. shs_59
    Going back to the Trade Deadine last year, frankly, I was happy the Twins made a move, additionally they probably could of made another one. Anyway did I like the Trade at the Time? HELL no! most of us, as I re-call didn't. Hu + Tapia for Jepsen? yuck But Then Jepsen went on to have one of the more dominant halves for a reliever in Twins recent history. (and was much needed as Perkins, somewhat predictably folded up) SO was the trade worth it in the end? Absolutely and I nor should the Twins have any regrets. Nobody could of forseen Jepsen falling off the face of a cliff so sharply after August / September of last year even at the Winter Meetings just months ago.

    for , me the Berrios, Sano, Buxton, Kepler off-limits 4-some , or four-some; can be lumped in there with Brian Dozier. I think Dozier, not Mauer (obviously at this point) if the face of the franchise.... Too bad Dozier refers to the Twins as "they" though, when he's talking about them in the first person. (like in a post-game interview with FSN 's Marny Gellner) Instead of the Twins as We or Us or family, he refers to Twins as more of a business that i am currently working for and not in full agreement with 100% of the time, maybe its just a southern thing but it seems a bit odd. Anyway, In other words, it would take a whole lot for a team to acquire Brian Dozier, i'm saying like 2 extremely quality young players or 3 total prospects all B- to B+ types.
  19. shs_59
    Removals: Suzuki (FA) , Jepsen (FA) , one of Niel Ramirez and or Buddy Boshers, 1 of Robbie Grossman or Eduardo Nunez (trade) , and likely Alex Meyer or for sure Fernando Abad (if not) If Ervin Santana gets traded .....that would open up about 6 spots. My additions: Fernando Romero, Trevor Hildenberger, Daniel Palka, Engelb Vielma, Stu Turner or Mitch Garver, and a tough call for the last between Granite, Reed, Burdi , Stewart, Jay or Gonsalves..... but i'll go with Reed. The Twins already have : Melotakis, Landa, Randy Rosario, A.B. Walker all on the 40-man... if you're Byung - Ho Park , Kennys Vargas, and A.B. Walker you 3 SHOULD be fighting for 2 - 40 Man roster spots! (one might get traded/ cutt) thank you (Burdi ain't going anywhere)
  20. shs_59
    Ervin Santana is a low end #2 starter in the NL Should be viewed as a #3 starter in the AL. Attach the current contract to him (& his age) and the offer of perceived value is as a #4 starter. but an innings eating one, who still has value. IN OTHER WORDS the Twins need to include Alex Meyer or (some top 30 prospect of their own) Or Eat 1/4 or one third of the remaining salary in any such deal If you're going to get back the proper pieces for the Right-Handed veteran arm. I have great trade Ideas when it comes to Nunez, Alex Meyer and Trevor Plouffe (sadly before he went to DL) but have no reciprocation or assessments of Ervin "un-magical" Santana. *changing his name back to Johan Santana would be a nice start*
  21. shs_59
    I Disagree with this whole notion that Trevor Plouffe "only has value " or "has marginal value to any club" or is a "average or below average trade value" He's actually our best trade chip or trade commodity IMO Defensively ALONE, Trevor Plouffe is worth a C to C+ prospect at the hot corner position. throw in the fact he's been playing 90% of the year un-healthy and not at his peak or usual self. I think offensively, Plouffe is a .260 hitter with 15-25 HR pop, and a low end middle of the order bat. ( Yes, I know his career average mark is probably .249 or so) There are teams out there (Giants, Mariners, and maybe even 'stros) WHO ARE SO LEFT handed heavy they'd give up a lot, possibly an over pay for PLOUFFE IF he was simply healthy. The Twins will almost certainly go into the 2017 season with Trevor Plouffe on Their roster. (Because if they do not , they are giving plouffe away at his nearly lowest end of appreciable value)
  22. shs_59
    If he's still available i want the , SS - Marcos kid out of the DR. he's probably 5'10 or 5 '11" and 140-150 lbs soaking wet but at 16, and an already 65 hit grade from many folks he looks like a Jurickson Profar or dare i say even XANDER Boagaerts in the making to meeeee !! get him done Twins and call this year a wrap .Deal.
  23. shs_59
    Yep , anytime you put up 13 HR's in one month you gotta be "that guy" Congrats to Palka and Granite and Eddie Rosario for phenomenal months And great job Seth on the article, always a fun read.
  24. shs_59
    Disagree entirely with TROY HOBBS this is great news.... Good for Phill and i bet by July of 2017 we see 85-95% of the 2014 Phill Hughes dominate ace Phill Hughes holds the ALL-TIME mlb record for K:BB ratio and BB ratio in the '14 season he walked 18 batters whila ammasing around 200 innings!

    A.) for all their faults, I don't think this one is on the Front Office I think Bruno and Molitor grew tired of Arcia and the Twins brass' had really no choice in the matter but to get either $ 50,000 dollars or a C prospect in return for him. I just wished they would of coupled something with Arcia like a Plouffe/ Tonkin or Millone and maybe Alex Meyer to actually get something in return. B.) HEY at least he landed with Tampa Bay! If I and probably many of us here stretched out our favorite teams after the Twins, or were forced to do so... likely, the Rays would be in the top 3 or 5 for many of us here. me: 1.) Twins gap 2.) Cubs (uncle life-long fan and nothing like the wrigely experience, he is also a diehard) 3.) A's 4.) Rays 5.) Pirates -thats how i go into basically every season year in and year out, in terms of who i root for. I'd venture a guess that many of you, regardless of where you're from or family ties you might have in you're life would be similar to my list. so point being if he hits like David Ortiz for the next decade it won't sting like David Arias Ortiz did so unless the Rays go on to win multiple world series.
