    It is not because they throw hard rather it is other factors. Graterol has nothing to prove in the minors. What he needs to learn is the art of getting major league hitters out. Romero likewise. It is like the start of Johan's career as a Twin , only a little different. Please name 3 ways that Romero is similar to any og the pitchers you listed.

    Dyson in Rochester might be a good idea,

    Deron Johnson was Ryan's guy, His team found most of the players currently on these prospect lists, most of the young players on the current roster. Just facts.

    Trips to the injury lists did not help. He is listed at 265 pounds and 6'1'' Ensuring that no food went to waste at the post game buffet wasn't the greatest idea.. That the Twins used him in a relief role might have the sites thinking that is what the Twins think of him, although an elite reliever still should be ranked high

    Graterol that low on their hot 100 list already having major league time in to me signifies that they do not believe he has that high of ceiling anymore.

    Any of these pitchers that are under 30 on a minor league deal would be a great addition. It would be reasonable to add that the reason they are not signed yet is that they are holding out hope for a major league deal.

    All of us want 8-9 million. Want and get are 2 different things. 2019 was not too friendly for the relief pitcher contracts. The high priced relievers the year before that were not signed by the Yankees all did poorly. The big money Colorado paid out the previous year did not pan out. 8-9 for a non proven closer will be a tough one to get

    In 2011 May was not even in the top 100 prospect lists. To be the top player in a system like that is not saying much. The year he was traded to the Twins is when he dropped off those lists. It is not like he was a top prospect. There were a couple of people who really liked him https://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/9/28/9409909/unsubstantiated-prediction-trevor-may-will-be-an-all-star-starter In terms of soon to be free agents. May has had a great year and a half. What he gets in free agency will be determined by what happens this year.

    The problem in getting a top of the rotation type pitcher in midseason is that it requires a team to be really bad while having a very good player.

    Is Berrios healthy? Is Pineda the pitcher he was id the second half before the suspension? Is Odorizzi the first half pitcher? Is Homer Bailey the better than league average pitcher he was last year? Is Smeltzer the low 4 ERA or FIP pitcher? Same for Dobnak? Does Hill rebound to where he pitches like he did for the Dodgers? If two of the first three questions have a no it is highly unlikely it matters who is available unless the offense is on pace to shatter the 1067 run record. For every no answer in the second 3, replace the name with Graterol, Thorpe, then Poppen. If you get to Poppens name and the Twins are not on pace to shatter the 1067 record it is highly unlikely it matters who is available. There are 2 scenarios were the midseason trade becomes important. One is that the offense has managed to put the team in first place despite less than best efforts from the middle and bottom of the rotation. If the top 2 are going good the team needs a third for the playoffs. The other scenario is Berrios is going great and the team pulls off a blockbuster because they don't think he can keep it up for a whole season but somebody else does.

    Even is coaching got a couple more mph on the FB it would still be mediocre.

    There was a relief pitcher here a while back that people bemoan the trade of him. He was a dumpster dive. The player of the OP. Meh. Low 90, nothing special if the control is corrected.https://blogs.fangraphs.com/katoh-projects-arizona-diamondbacks-prospects/

    Max Scherzer has a far better history after age 36. The big thing with pitching is injuries . You can pick a trend and an age but injuries are more likely to be the cause of decline rather than just age

    They did not only ask for Buxton. It was Buxton and prospects
  15. old nurse
    The candidates make sense, the proposed offers except for Archer do not.
  16. old nurse
    I don't know what to make of the high priced free agents this year. It seems like they are using the Twins' interest and offers to drive up other teams' offers. If you listen to Ray Manzarek's comments, that is the impression I am getting from all this. Please note, I don't think I could post the response so listen at your own risk

    Bailey pitched at a "role" or "solid" level depending on whose WAR calculation you chose to use
  18. old nurse
    Martin Perez started 29 games last year at a replacement level.
  19. old nurse
    If only 75 pitchers are better this year it is a good signing.
  20. old nurse
    Grandal and Keuchel are not one year deals. Length of contract is a moot point. Top 10 ranked prospects and immediate impact. Still waiting for Buxton or Sano to play a full year. How long ago was that they were top 10. It is all on paper. You have no idea if it will work.

    Yolmer Sanchez, GG 2B White Sox. Career OPS 80
  22. old nurse
    Last year the Phillies signed the 2,13 and 34 per ESPN. They went nowhere.
  23. old nurse
    Perception perhaps. Moncada had a hard hit 38% last year. That is about his average. That is league average
  24. old nurse
    Reported concussion. Therein lies the problem

    Mike doesn't remember the original post and neither do you.
