    As anemic as the Tampa offense is Cruz could have an OPS of 1.000 with Tampa and zero RBI unless the bases happened to be loaded.

    Brantley is a 16 million a year player, hardly a backup wage plan. Bradley is 13 million, again not a backup. Franco thus far this year has been a waste of less than a million dollars. At 29 million that is a lot for a bench. At 29 million for those 2, the Twins do not sign any new free agents other than minor leaguers and league minimum players. Your plan for free agents results in an even worse bullpen and lineup. Be like the Sox? 7 straight years with teams being below .500 for the year then they managed to be a wild card losing team. This year's squad has won nothing. Why would anyone want to be the Sox?

    I can’t remember the name of the former frequent commenter from New York who was a frequent advocate for trading for DeRosa. Maybe DeRosa is still butt hurt that the trade never happened.

    Some people are “conditioned” to see what could be in a player, some people are conditioned to see what the player is not. Considering that the team is down to the fifth or sixth option in CF, cutting some slack to the current CF option would seem reasonable. Some are not “conditioned” to do that.

    How many years have the Twins had a top rated farm system? Getting the talent to an above average with consistency major league level is not. So are they wrong in talent evaluation or development?

    I thought it was clear that it was to the Yankees. I will type out the long version next time to remove doubt

    I an stating that a contending team will overpay for the shot to win, Somewhere way back in this piece somebody mentioned Berrios for a top 100 prospect is what could happen by a trade calculator. The calculator is wrong. That was the point. Sonny Gray in New York did his best imitation of Josh Becket in Boston. Becket had done his best imitation of Carl Pavano in New York. Pavano was not the first player who went to the big two cities and fell flat..

    If Pineda is not hurt the Yankees do not make the trade.. Severino and Montgomery were young and upcoming, Tanaka and And Sabathia had longer contracts. With a healthy Pineda there is no need for Gray. He was dumped for peanuts

    Happ is twice as disappointingly as anyone else?
  10. old nurse
    The value in Gray and Quintana were not in the length of contract. The Cubs were coming off a WS win and desperate to contend in the window. Pineda went down and the Yankees needed another starter. Supply and desperation determine the price paid, not the contract.

    Sonny Grey in a mid season deal netted 2 top 100 prospects, Quintana netted a top 15 and a top 100 prospect. There is an error in your calculator.

    The Yankees probably have had their share of expensive oft injured outfielders on large contracts. Ellsberg, Stanton, Hicks, Judge. Boston has also had recent experience with the expensive injury bug. The Dodgers are pretty set in the outfield.

    Any prospect not major league ready with an upside

    It is the curse of the Yankees. The only way to beat it is to do what the North Stars did to the Bruins.
  15. old nurse
    The grumpy fans are pretty much in a fantasy world long before there is talk of a curse

    Guardado for Mark Hamburger Escobar for Liriano Duran for Escobar. Marciel is still a prospect Little for Garcia was useful David Ortiz was a PTBNL deadline deal Joe Mays for Roberto Kelly Bobby Kielty brought back Stewart. He wasn’t a prospect but did have a couple of good years
  17. old nurse
    Twins got Escobar for Liriano
  18. old nurse
    Astute trading does bring back players of value.
  19. old nurse
    Theron lies the delegation. You don’t sign an oft injured player to a large deal. Buxton was not going to sign a team friendly deal. The same applies to trading him. You are not going to get an amazing return for a less than full time player. It isn’t on the FO in this case.
  20. old nurse
    What 5 players could not be traded is more appropriate to any conversation about trades. Any player can be dealt for a price. The question is what is the price? Buxton on a trade list. Last week it was the FO were idiots for not extending him

    I quit reading the article after the opening paragraph. Starting an article with such a false premise should have been edited out. Editing is changing a no no word to false. Is the new world order is to try to inflame the base?

    No one shed a tear. When Alyea left as a 31 year old. Alyea was an acquired player who left as a rule 5 draftee and did nothing. There is no similarity of careers between Baddoo and Alyea
  23. old nurse
    Yes he does and there is not any similarities between the 2 players other than they played baseball and were drafted in the rule v draft at some point in their career. In today’s game Alyea would have been a minor league free agent and not a draftee. He had played several years in the majors before being drafted. That is not Baddoo
  24. old nurse
    For the season Jones has an OPS of .475 Mazara .407
  25. old nurse
    Pineda and Happ from the starters All of the Bullpen except Duffey and the players with less than 5 years service time Sano Simmions Any other player on the roster that would make for a blockbuster trade. I don’t think any of the contending teams that would make that kind of trade have the prospects. Would San Diego trade Justin Lange, Reggie Lawson and a couple high reward prospects for Berrios in a go for it move?
