    FWIW the Twins already have other guys on the 25 man roster who have been busted for PEDs
  2. DaveW
    I like A-Rod quite a bit, and think he is one of the best 5 or 6 players in the history of baseball. (Positional players) I wouldn't mind picking him up once rosters expand to 40, but I wouldn't want him taking any at bats from guys like Vargas, Rosario, Sano or even Park if Park is brought back up? Basically, I would rather have A-Rod on this team then Plouffe at this stage. I would be interested to see how A-Rod could "mentor" some of the guys. But under no scenario should he be playing every day for the Twins, or even 3-4 times a week, maybe one or two PH spots for them and a start at DH every other week?

    Also Santiago is a LHP, that also checks the "LHP for the rotation" box
  4. DaveW
    To me it looks like a trade involving three change of scenery type pitchers, and Santiago. I don't think it's as great of a trade as people say, but it's a pretty solid trade overall. Santiago at least can be a innings eater 4/5 for us, and he will be pitching for his first real "big" deal in free agency. Ideally he pitches 200 IP and a 3.40 era and the twins can either trade him, or offer him arb and get a draft pick (or one more year) Meyer could reach his potential, but I doubt he would have done that here. Nolasco could salvage his career with a nice 1.3 seasons in LA as well. Smart but not great trade IMO. I give it a B
  5. DaveW
    I give him a C+ overall, but an A compared to what Ryan likely would have done.
  6. DaveW
    I dunno man, catchers seem to get traded all the time, hell look at what we fetched for Drew Butera? If the offers weren't that great, you still make the move IMO. Keeping Suzuki around the rest of this year before he heads to free agency is pointless for this club. You take the best offer you get and you move on, I refuse to believe that nobody would have taken Suzuki at this stage. The Mets, Dodgers, Mariners, Astros, Indians all needed catcher help, none of them would give up a C+ prospect at the very least? Doubtful
  7. DaveW
    He is a catcher with a 102 OPS+
  8. DaveW
    Well since they didn't trade Suzuki they might as well go ahead and extend him for 2017, there isn't a better internal option at the external options will be pricey.
  9. DaveW
    WOW SANTIAGO FOR NOLASCO AND MEYER!
  10. DaveW
    If no other moves are made Antony gets a D for this trade deadline.
  11. DaveW
    Blue Jays just acquired Scott Feldman, no more Santana?
  12. DaveW
    Perkins was hurt and clearly was hurt all year, I'm not going to fault him for that. I will fault Jepsen for being a terrible healthy pitcher this year.
  13. DaveW
    Man, Jepsen really screwed us this year. If he could have been a "proven closer!!11!!!1!" he would have been such a nice trade chip right now. Unreal.
  14. DaveW
    The Yankees have 27 World Series title, "luck" often happens to the teams that earn it.
  15. DaveW
    I said before I would be "Ok" with one trade, but if Suzuki isn't traded today it is a major failure by the front office. The guy is an impending FA, there is ZERO reason not to trade him for anything.
  16. DaveW
    Yeah Cashman has done a helluva job not only convincing his bosses they needed to do the un Yankee like "rebuild" but brought back 4 or 5 top 50 top prospects!
  17. DaveW
    Wow, Yankees just traded Beltran for Tate+more. Once A-Rod and a couple of those contracts are off the books the Yankees are setting up for another dynasty like run.
  18. DaveW
    Wow. Wow. Wow. Abad return looks pretty...um...weak compared.
  19. DaveW
    Twitter is so lame, a bunch of people fire off fake reports/sources in hopes of being "the first" (which really doesn't mean much) Fake and false reports like we have seen today just prove it.
  20. DaveW
    29th round pick, fireballer out of high school. The majority of those type of draft picks don't sign and end up in college anyways. Clearly it was the right move for Light.
  21. DaveW
    Sounds like its RA Dickey and a PTNBL
  22. DaveW
    Miller LITE you mean.
  23. DaveW
    To be fair, a high price to the Twins in the past has been "A couple pitch to contact lefties and a veteran OF to "lead"
  24. DaveW
    That doesn't mean you have to trade him for nothing. Light has intrigue, but the Twins track record with hard throwing guys with control issues is TERRIBLE.
  25. DaveW
    Already 25 years old and no real track record of success in the minors. Meh.
