    Whatever within reason this takes

    Wonder if moving him along this fast is a need to see. Both for his trade value (closer to the majors) and to see if he is ready if they trade one of Romero or Buxton this winter for pitching. My guess is whether they can sign either to an extension early in the winter.

    Would much rather sell a few lower end prospects for rentals. Twins have had several years of bad play, which has helped our farm system become one of the bests. Having a #1 pick in the 20's is like owning a lottery ticket. Far from a sure thing.
  4. beckmt
    Disagree, depending on price would like to see a two to three year extension

    Please fix the pen

    Seller clubs are expecting sky high returns, and the selling market is smaller than expected. Many of the in between clubs are holding until they can sort out what course to take. Twins need the help now, we will see if the FO answers.

    I think either or both of Oderizzi or Pineda will get a QO from the twins. Do not see this for Gibson (wrong side of 30).

    Putting Schoop on the bench against righties and starting him against lefties, makes sense to me. Still give him a few slots against righties, he could get hot again. If he continues like this, will have to see if he gets playoff time.

    Qualifier, think Giants are looking more for infield and outfield prospects than pitchers, but nice comparison. Maybe Gordon, plus low level prospect or just Gordon.
  10. beckmt
    Yes

    Good to see we have more pitching is the wings. Just too bad it is a ways away. Positive note, even the ones they brought up have been good. Stewart, Littell and Thorpe give hope for next year, as it is certain that not all of Gibson, Oderizzi, and Pineda will be back.
  12. beckmt
    Prospects do not always pan out. Maybe Gordon's ceiling is higher, but are his chances of reaching it about 10 - 20%. His floor seems much lower, like utility players or AAAA player. If he has little chance of making this club and working out in the next couple of years (my opinion), he needs to be cashed for help this year.

    Local channel (5) claims period is probably between 2 - 6. After 6 the stroms fire back up and we get heavy rain.

    Good win, problem is the Schoop is to have about 75% of the outcomes being bad, the only ones that work are a hit, a walk or a fly ball deep enough to advance Castro to third (which would have to be to the wall in center or right). Maybe it worked out for the best because some of the results would have been a DP.

    Agree it will be difficult, and probably cost more than any of us expect. You have about 15 teams looking at the playoffs and 14 of them need bullpen help. That to me screams seller's market. Now many of these clubs do not have mid level prospects like the Twins, but many teams will want more from the Twins than other clubs. This leaves the problem at how much of the future do we want to sell. I expect Romoro and Gordon to be two of the prospects that could be sold. Great article, Nick.
  16. beckmt
    He was just as bad on rehab, so unless you are looking at 2 years of cheap control, probably not worth the gamble.
  17. beckmt
    Interesting, but try playing in a real league. There are a couple I know of in the Twin Cities.
  18. beckmt
    Close pitches go both ways, just doesn't seem like the Twins way that often. May has closer stuff, if he can harness location, that is still a big if(but he is not the only reliever with that issue). A very good win. Twins are doing what all good clubs do, beat the bad clubs most of the time. That is a good sign.
  19. beckmt
    Do not know how our draft will turn out. some make it most don't. Expect some of our middle infield depth will soon be waring different uniforms in exchange for pitching help.
  20. beckmt
    Have been waiting for Arraez to come up. Hope he gets a chance to play up here.
  21. beckmt
    I still think a trade is the more likely way the Twins will go. If the AA relievers were as great as some think, they would be here now. Still have hope for Vasquez, too early to tell.
  22. beckmt
    Thanks for the article Jeremy, did not realize Twins had that big a problem. See 4-5 clear adds there, so Twins need to make some moves (even though, the bottom of the 40 man has a few clear players that can be let go.
  23. beckmt
    I can see sending a 10 - 30 level prospect to a club that has an OK reliever, but is more looking for salary relief, Melecon anyone?
  24. beckmt
    Agree, that I am looking more for a trade than a signing. Should be plenty of relievers around early next month, most of them will not be hughly expensive. If you want to spend money send a mid level prospect/suspect to SF for Melecon. SF might just want the money off the books.
  25. beckmt
    Didn't I read somewhere that when closing out the Yankees a few years ago, McCullers threw 24 consecutive curveballs. Changing speeds and location can work. Do not see Harper as a closeout reliever, but a mid level arm, have no problem with that to date.
