The Twins did not set themselves up for a good rotation. No number eight starter, questions for 4-7

Derek Lowe was the last player that I can think of that went from established major league reliever to established major league starter. That was 25 years ago. The Santanas and Sales that were relievers starting out were only there a couple of years in their young 20s development stage. Jax is a 30 year old. It doesn’t make sense to risk an arm for the limited chance of success.

Severino would have brought back a Gabriel Moya type prospect.

Rushing to the Dodgers for a Catcher
old nurse replied to Nate Palmer's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Mejia was a hit first catcher who couldn’t hit big league pitching. Feduchia is 28, had a couple cups of coffee. He could probably be a fair return for Paddack and a prospect. They could even throw in Topa Rushing would be more, but if the Dodgers put a high value on him, I don’t see the Twins giving up a quality starter for him.- 10 replies

Did the players traded by San Diego amount to a cornerstone player? Nope. Quality over quantity. The Nola trade is why you don’t trade for bulk.

So Bleacher Report Fan dude throws out a hypothetical and multiple sites report the silliness. I suppose the sinking ship dictates the need for fantasy

The Twins should trade any expiring contract player to as good of contender as possible. The return will be hope, but it does the player a favor

Corner outfielders who are average do not brig much in return. Nothing to get excited about there. The haul of players for an All star closer rental netted Miami all of a potential back of the rotation starter. Erceg brought back non prospects. The trades at the deadline work best when a team is more desperate. Other the Ryan and Duran,, trades have brought back very little. Ryan was for an All Star player i that season, Duran for a player that was producing 3 WAR. Of the players with no trade contracts Ryan and Dura are the only 2 players who would brig back anything other than a very low probability of success prospect they are the only 2 players who have consistently produced

From the story, the answer to the question is no they don’t.

Ben Brown is exactly the type of player you get for a very good rental BP arm. Top 10 in the organization does not mean you are getting a good player

Career OPS+ 131, Career WRC+ 137. Mike eas a little at at forty, but not so much as to deserve your comment

There are how many other players from trades that did not impact the team for 6+ years? Nelson Cruz was an All Star at the time of the trade, Escobar was having a career year. What players could the Twins trade that are at that level?
-
So advocate for a bunt when there the next two batters went out quietly. Yes a bunt would put the runner o third for a sac fly. They might as well have 2 tries for a hit as opposed to one try for a fly
-
Baseball America did two articles last year on ranking teams drafting since 2012 The Twins were ranked 8th in the hitting article, 11th in pitching. Yes, the 2012 class was great. It is balanced out by the nothingness of 2013–16. The shortage of names on the list is balance out by the length of a career of a decent player
-
Bader and Castro are the only 2 outfielders that the team control ends at the end of the season. They would be the trade for prospects players. They may be playing well enough to get a decent prospect, that is someone with an upside more than a low leverage reliever. In all of their deadline trades Duran ad Ryan have been the only 2 who have worked out. Bader and Castro continue their success, it may well lead to a trade even if the Twins are in contention for the last wildcard spot. They might actually get their third useful piece. Yes other prospects obtained have appeared in the majors, but not as sustained success for the Twins. If they trade from their plethora of prospects it is only because the team does not think they will be long term (the controllable years) starters.

Cameron in KC has an ERA of 2 something but did get beaten up by the Yankees. Sawyer Gipson-Long just came back from TJ and was pitching to a low 4 ERA. They are ot worse than Festa. Might ot be ay higher ceiling tha Fester either

No, but there is somebody who will force you to comment on every article.

There is, it is called the click meter..

They signed about 5 free agent minor league players in the last week. All wanted their chance. The it seems like the Twins do the sed Dow after the game more than others comment is being petty. You do’t know but you accuse.

McCusker does not seem to be in their plans. He is more likely than Keirsey to be sent down
