    Nobody ever said they had to be traded for someone in the everyday lineup.
  2. old nurse
    It is incompetent to think a contending team is going to remove someone from their every day lineup to trade for their bullpen. That's counter-productive. If they are demanding that in trades....they are absolutely incompetent. those were your words that you are now saying you never said
  3. old nurse
    I did not say to do nothing. Try again without inventing a position for me. The goal of trades is to get an impact bat. That is something that you derived them for. The trade Milwaukee made for Contreras and the Rays for Arozerena show that it can be done.

    I am trying to tell you the notion that they can get an impact bat through trades. I am telling you that you need to do your homework on the results of trades of players like Jax and Duran. I can also now tell you that you probably aven’t done your homework on outcomes for top 50 prospects
  5. old nurse
    You apparently haven’t seen the outcomes of the players traded who were are at the level of those mentioned in the article. Funny how Tampa can trade for impact bats ad the Twins cannot
  6. old nurse
    They are poor comps as prospects fail. It is not incompetence to want known quantities. The Ryan for Cruz is the anomaly. The trades that ave netted a good player involve an consistent all star level player. That is not what the Twins have to trade. The unnamed employee is not incompetent.
  7. old nurse
    The Twins don’t have a player like Viola with a no trade clause
  8. old nurse
    Just as you don’t know that he would have. The number of extensions made by this club should indicate they have a little bit of ability to negotiate deals with current players.
  9. old nurse
    So that he signed an extension there when he wouldn’t here means that he would have signed an extension here? Okey dokey, can’t argue with that kind of logic.
  10. old nurse
    So, it would have been better to have a late round first pick instead of SWR.
  11. old nurse
    The only reason to trade him is that he wants to be elsewhere and will not negotiate for an extension. Then they would be wise to sell high. If next year he is having a down year his value goes way down Thing is that nobody knows anything about the situation. Fan sites write clickbait about trading for Ryan and people take it like it is something that is going to happen.

    You posted a lot of words. Reality The Twins started with three very good pitchers for the top of the rotation. That will get you a top 10 rotation for the start of the season. That does not get you a good rotation for the season. They had nothing but question marks after the top 3. They did not have anyone close to being an eighth starter That is the reality Nothing you have posted disproves that
  13. old nurse
    The Twins started with three good pitchers and question marks behind them. Your posting does nothing to disprove that. They have used 8 different starters i most of the recent seasons due to injuries or ineffectiveness Nothing having anyone for a number eight was a mistake. Nothing you posted disproves that. Minnesota entered as a top tier on the strength of the top 3 pitchers. The sorry state of pitching in general could indeed make them a top tier team with 3 starters. That still does not make for a great rotation What in the last few years would cause one to think the top 3 wouldn’t miss starts?
  14. old nurse
    King and Lopez are on the il with shoulder injuries. Were you trying to prove my point or are you just happy to have a pitchers be injured and useless
  15. old nurse
    The Twins did not set themselves up for a good rotation. No number eight starter, questions for 4-7
  16. old nurse
    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.
  17. old nurse
    Severino would have brought back a Gabriel Moya type prospect.
  18. old nurse
    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.
  19. old nurse
    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.
  20. old nurse
    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
  21. old nurse
    Current pitching injuries 78 starters are o the 60 day, 40 with elbow or forearms listed as their injury. 16 are on the 15 day. Only 44 relievers are on the 60 day, 37 on the 15
  22. old nurse
    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
  23. old nurse
    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
  24. old nurse
    From the story, the answer to the question is no they don’t.
  25. old nurse
    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
