    14 teams would have to go on an amazing winning streak to be in it. The Dodgers do not appear to be buyers. Boston does not appear to want to spend. Arizona is on the fringe. It is neither a buyers or seller market. For a team like San Diego that thinks they have the pieces to contend next year getting a player that will help you contend is a good decision. If another team likes your prospects better than you do the team is ahead.

    It would appear that Thorpe and Stashak have progressed this year to the point that they are better than Parker. I guess that it is a bad thing that players develop to be better than the lower priced free agent.

    The Mets get a building block and a pitcher for next year, The Padres get an ace for longer. Unusualbut not bizarre. A team has to take advantage of a situation.

    The 489 pitches he threw in the minors while rehabing do not count?
  6. old nurse
    The Twins have been sellers so far, Morin, Mejia. Anybody buy MaGill?
  7. old nurse
    The numbers look better. over 15 rather than 7

    For some Duffey should change his name to Muffey

    Britton trade as a comp, the Orioles got back a once ranked starting prospect who has not panned out and 2 fringe relievers. The Twins could come up with that.

    The possibility of obtaining a player with 3 more years of control that is a significant upgrade over what you have should make no prospect untouchable.

    Time to trade Cashner is when he is having a good half season. Some people still believe he has potential, others do not. Those that do not are very happy that the GM took a break

    Gilmartin was designated for assignment in June, Duke was released in July While teams found room, the teams also moved on.

    Any player that is a rental should cost a player with a little bit better potential than a late first round pick. The Twins have plenty of those type of prospects without denting the farm system. A player with some level of control past the contract will require prospect capital. People have cited the Chris Archer trade as it is going to cost a lot. The Cole trade shows that sometimes it just costs a lot of bodies. It depends on the skill of the trader.

    40 rounds of draft, with competitive balance picks, there is no lack of entry into the game. Tony Clark as head of the union that negotiated the last contract that includes the drafting procedures and payouts. If that contract is so awful in his opinion because it restricts how much prospects can be paid in bonuses he should resign for his failures.

    Sure there are worthy candidates. I would rather them get a few days off.

    His batting average would also lead everyone by a mile. His contact and swinging strike percentages would indicate a better eye for hitting than most. As far as the book on him soon after the break, what is going to be learned in 10-20 more PA?

    The experts did not put Deeds in a top 10 http://www.startribune.com/a-look-back-prospect-lists/111022994/

    Look hard and see what you are buying and selling. Houston gave up really nothing to get Verlander and Cole. Sale could have been considered stolen at this point. Archer was bought high with two prospects that worked out. Sell every player on the team if you can make that kind of trade. Which prospects does a team trade. The ones that other teams value more than you do. Prospects from a position of strength, The ones who will not be future all stars.

    Giving up your 176th best prospect could be a huge mistake.
  20. old nurse
    It was noted somewhere that he has had issues since childhood. If he has something like Chrohn's disease it was not a stretch.
  21. old nurse
    They seem to be stocking up on AAA pitchers. One might wonder if in deals being discussed include moving a few of the AAA prospects. It seems like 10 of them have had auditions this year.
  22. old nurse
    Pitching doesn't have to be expensive. Verlander cost nothing for Houston. The criteria is another team overvaluing your prospects Darvish really cost very little. 2 lottery tickets and a prospect with major league experience ranked outside the top 20 is not a great catch Given Bumgarner's no trade list, the Twins would have little competition for his services.
  23. old nurse
    Most Twins prospects aren't worth much. True. True for every organization in baseball. Including Dominican teams every organization has over 6 teams. Most players are not going to sniff a big league team unless they were ball boys in their youth. Fangraphs list 40 some players with a potential to be major league players, Sickels about 70 . There is value in that many players. There is value in a player having some sort of potential. A team can not trade for another player without having something to trade. Deluded? We statement. OK
  24. old nurse
    If you clear out some of the prospects that will be rule 5 eligible it would be a great trade.
  25. old nurse
    Is Colome better than Magill, Little or Morin? If all you give up are a few of the prospects that are lottery tickets then the team is better and you would be foolish not to make the trade.
