    can't ground out every time Tulo would have hit it out
  3. DaveW
    This bullpen sucks

    Papelbon to the Nationals, for a AA guy who doesn't strike anyone out, 12th best prospect in a bad Nats farm AND the Phillies are paying 4 mil. another one that TR and co could have easily gotten. Hope there is a plan in place....the price for some damn good RP are dirt cheap.

    Call me old fashioned, but when a pitcher doesn't get out of the 6th I can't credit him as "getting it done"

    Hicks was always a 5 tool type guy, that helps a lot, the margin for error is so much smaller. The other 3 are more one tool guys which means they really need to mash (Vargas and Arcia) to make it, and it's why they were never as highly regarded. Santana needs to improve his D to where it can be, if he does that he will be fine, but that is a tall order as well.

    Molitor has done some good things this year, getting tossed in that situation was not one of them.

    Yeah that seemed odd, the Berrios national love has been pretty high as of lately. This deal will likely turn out to be worse for the Rockies then the Johan one was for the Twins. At least the Twins got a little bit of major league value for Johan.
  9. DaveW
    No but he is higher on him then both MLB.com and BP.Also h is results this year have been subpar, 6.1 k/9? not good.

    I highly doubt Reyes is going to bring back 2 really good prospects, I would be shocked if he can get one of those, and am guessing its closer to a top 10 guy instead of a top 5 guy (unless money is involved or another bad contract) Reyes is a good player still but that contract is brutal, I want him on the Twins, but only if they can ship over Nolasco's contract in return.
  11. DaveW
    But that would involve taking the payroll into the top 50% of teams in the league, no? Pohlads clearly have no intention of doing so, and Ryan clearly has no intention of selling them on the idea of just trying this ONCE.
  12. DaveW
    The Blue Jays were actively looking for a buyer for Reyes for sometime, while I think he still has "value", 22 million is a vast overpay for him, even if it is just for 2 more years after this year. That is still 44 million a team can't spend elsewhere the next 2.5 seasons.

    No doubt in my mind that Terry Ryan absolutely dropped the ball on this one. He had a chance to get an elite SS (something the Twins have never had) and not give up the farm to do it. Instead, its just business as usual at Twins way, why try to win world series when you can continue to just have a below average payroll and sort of compete every once in a while. I thought the new stadium was supposed to make the Twins one of those teams that would "go for it" and compete with the big boys? Sadly, I feel this will be the continued course until the Pohlads give up the team. Conservative, Conservative, Conservative.
  14. DaveW
    Huh? The deal Toronto gave up wasn't even close to that. MAYBE one of Gibson OR Berrios and a Gonsalves type would have been closer in value.
  15. DaveW
    You can do both.
  16. DaveW
    I don't see how people can just assume this.
  17. DaveW
    Gonzalez would be an interesting target, of course Hunter would be out of a job, but that's probably fine. And Arcia suddenly becomes more expendable as well to help upgrade other areas (Rosario probably as well) If the price was right I would be for it.
  18. DaveW
    Not only that, but since the Twins are in the wild card spot, that means their waiver slot will be behind all the teams chasing them, the odds of a Benoit, Zeigler, Papelbon etc not getting claimed before there spot is almost nil, the teams behind them know what the Twins need, so they would be blocking every good RP out there. Waiting for August is a disaster waiting to happen.
  19. DaveW
    They needed RP help (and C help) yesterday, these trades should have been made weeks ago, waiting around in August may be to late.
  20. DaveW
    Berrios and Gonslaves would have been the most comparable.
  21. DaveW
    THAT would be dissapointing, especially after robbing the city of those tax dollars to build target field.
  22. DaveW
    If they fail to even bring in a middle of the road RP this deadline will be a disaster for TR. The price paid for Clippard was marginal, they can easily get a good 8th inning guy without giving up any of their top 10-15 prospects.
  23. DaveW
    You think that will stop Bert from using his broadcast booth as a platform to be included on this list?
  24. DaveW
    Why are people so quick to want to get rid of Santana? He is our best pitcher currently and has looked great on the mound. For a team with a shaky bullpen it's nice to have a guy who can go 8 innings for you each time out,
  25. DaveW
    Bonnes, are you speaking about your girlfriend being a Yankee lover? I am more curious on how Mrs. Bonnes feels about that
