That's not really fair, Garza was a mid rotation guy and Barlett was an average at best SS. If Delmon would have became a 30/30 guy nobody would say that.

How it works: Post a classic Simpsons image along with a Twins related (or baseball related, but lets keep in most Twins related) caption. The winner (chosen by me) at the end of August will win a pair of Twins tickets to a September game (They will be nosebleeds FYI) Examples: Pictured: TR with his prospects in their original packaging, talking trades with other GM's. http://theswca.com/images-misc/RALPH3.JPG Pictured: GM Terry Ryan asks Jim Pohlad for permission to add payroll at the deadline. http://oi58.tinypic.com/2gue72e.jpg Pictured: Chuck Knoblauch getting ready for his Twins HOF ceremony. http://stuffpoint.com/the-simpsons/image/72991-the-simpsons-bart-drunk.jpg Pictured: Carlos Silva enjoys his pre-game meal. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/amgov/3234/week_4/1022012_7-krusty_jpg_300.jpghttp://static1.businessinsider.com/image/50bfcd6b69beddf42e000038-480/homer-simpson-all-you-can-eat-seafood.jpg

Is the farm system as deep as we thought?
DaveW replied to Boom Boom's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Why is Kepler so untouchable? He should be exactly the guy the Twins should be more than willing to trade. (Position of strength) -
I agree, but it did seem silly because the Twins didn't have any reasonable in house replacements at the time. What was the name of the RP they gave up? THAT is what I remember people being really up in arms about, then of course that guy went on to do nothing.
-
The Garza/Gardy/Anderson relationship was already poor, and while it sucked to give him up, it's not exactly like he became some ace anyways. His 3 years in Tampa: 3.87 ERA 4.24 FIP They basically gave up a good #3 pitcher for the #3 prospect in baseball, a guy who had .900 OPS potential and 30/30 potential.
-
He did a pretty damn job at putting together a very solid 2009 and 2010 team
-
That trade obviously didn't work out, but looking back I am mostly fine with it, at the time I didn't like giving up Bartlett as a second piece, but whatever. Delmon at the time was a 22 year old who had just finished 2nd in ROY the year prior, was one year removed from being the #3 prospect in all of baseball and looked like a potential 30/30 guy. Hell when he was 24 it looked like he had a breakout season for the Twins, .826 OPS, 21 HR, 112 RBI and top ten in the MVP voting. Those are the kind of risks I will take all day.
-
Ryan left Bill Smith in a no win scenario with the Johan Santana issue, and he knew a big regression was coming with Cuddyer, Hunter etc all set to leave. Other than Ramos, who do you blame him trading away?
-
Yeah, that whole "lets get aggressive and sign Miguel Sano" really has ruined the franchise. Would a Ryan lead front office ever have given that much to a Sano? Methinksnot. Also, Ryan screwed the Twins over when he decided to quit the first time. That's fine if you want to resign/retire, totally fine, but it's a little silly when you are just handed the job again 4 years later without doing anything to earn it.
-
Sounds like some pretty convenient excuses. Also, Smith wasn't great, but during his tenure he did a TON to rebuild the Twins farm system and it flourished because of a lot of the picks that were made under his reign.

:rolleyes:

Thank you for saying the exact same thing I did, this post has little value at all and serves nothing more than to just waste the communities time.

we have enough CF, I would rather try to sell the Mets on Rosario or Hicks as an immediate upgrade in return for Wheeler and Flores
