    If anything happens it will be the Twins way. They have to identify a pitcher with under 4 years service time in with identifiable upside or underutilized in a swing role.

    With 2 win and 3 win series all it takes is a couple of peak performances by your pitchers to advance, A wild card win is always possible with Reagan’s and Lugo’s pitching,. Then, a little luck and they are in the league championship series. Closers cost good players set up do not.
  3. old nurse
    The last wild card spot is up for grabs. Maybe by the all star break standings will be more differentiated, but as it stands now these teams are as likely to be buyers as sellers. The market may be expensive. A player like Farmer might even fetch an AAA emergency starter

    You can think what you want, though what is the point of weakening your team for a prayer of a player?

    The chance of finding a prospect that is going to be good for a league average bat has a less of a probability of happening than Wallner reducing his 33% strikeout rare in St. Paul at the major league level.

    Don’t expect a great return if you are trading Kepler
  7. old nurse
    3 injured pitchers and a prospect that is only OK at the A+ level for a 2b having a bad year statistically is a lose lose at this point

    What did the Twins get from dealing with Seattle last time..
  9. old nurse
    Three broke pitchers and an above average hitting prospect type package improves the Twins?
  10. old nurse
    Non All Star, above average corner outfielders don’t fetch much as rentals. Do you think they can find an undervalued prospect like they did with Ryan? The haystack is pretty big to find that needle

    The front office may have to be savvy enough to identify which trams have surpluses in areas of Twins needs and what the Twins have to fill their needs. They should discuss every player on the Tampa Bay roster for prospects to see what prospects they should probably not be trading

    Aaron Judge has a K% this year around 25%. A batting average of .300. Wallner did not. You present a weak argument.
  13. old nurse
    Is Wallner able to hit the high inside pitch now?
  14. old nurse
    Has Canterino even been playing catch yet? Pretty hard to help if he is not even thrown a ball this month. Festa and Varland is nothing new said.

    There would have t be further falling by either team for them to give up. That is the first reason why the idea is a very slim reality. For them to sell while giving up millions in salary would involve prospects of the top 100 varsity, or potentially top 100 variety. The Twins giving up a valuable prospect really has hurt them more than helped them. That further makes this type of trade less likely to happen. In the end you have a pitcher with recent injury issues. That would be counting on a lot of good luck strike three.

    The problem with eye tests are twofold. One is that you don’t see what other players do so how can one say for this year he is better or worse than the other second basemen this year. Second thing is the eyes are attached to something that has bias and short term memory losses

    If Fulmer wasn’t good by any means why are you suggesting trading for a pitcher that has blown more games for Detroit than Fulmer did for the Twins and has been pretty much been regulated to mop up duty?. If you think the Twins could fix Chafin, the why is Thielbar fixed.
  18. old nurse
    While your premise is correct that there are parts of the Twins bullpen that need improvement, the solution of adding other players that are also failing does not change the problem. Yes Presley in a sown year would be an improvement. It does not get the Twins deep into the playoffs. When the Twins traded for Fulmer the Twins received a pitcher that was having a decent season and only gave up a fringe prospect

    I wonder if he is tipping his fastball or if there are specific situations it is almost always a fastball . That would be a deeper dive than I am capable of doing., but it could explain the different results if everything else seems unchanged

    Rooker has played 72 innings and has made 9 put outs. I would say that stat should tell you he is hasn’t had many chances to make a mistake. You want to use one defensive metric to justify your claim. Look at UZR 150 and that will show a marked fall off from the Twins fielders. There is a reason they don’t put him out there

    4 choices, 1 maybe feasible. Miami isn’t going to trade a controllable player unless it is an overpay. The team Shouldn’t trade for a reliever having a career year. They are not going to pay a high price for a reliever. They traded a starting pitching prospect to Baltimore for Lopez who is doing reasonably well. The only reasonable option is Esteves
  22. old nurse
    Rooker has only played 100 innings in the outfield. There is probably a very good reason why he is mostly a DH

    Lucas the PT will have to help Cody in his writing. I heard PT can help lameness. It is admirable that Cody had to stretch to second round picks as they rarely pan out. That would mean there wasn’t many bad first round picks to choose from. Cavacao was a bad bust. The coulda/woulda/shoulda choices are too numerous.

    Backing out on signing any player to a contract lasting well past their age 35 season is the common sense thing to do
  25. old nurse
    There were articles on how he could not hit the high inside pitches. There were articles on how he fixed his swing over the winter and the spring training results were proof of that. Needful to say that the early season performance of Wallner indicated there was still a problem. Being successful in the minor leagues is not indicative of the fixed the problem. It could just as likely mean the less than stellar pitching at AAA can’t hit the spots as well and Wallner will be good enough to hit mistakes and average to mediocre pitching
