The notion that the 5th ranked prospect in the system is underrated is an odd one. Given that these rankings are not an up to the minute thing the question probably should be how much higher will he go.

Would you be happy with a .727 OPS in a hitter friendly league.?

Did the Orioles ever really rebuild from the Jim Palmer era

The Shape of a Trade Deadline
old nurse replied to Cody Schoenmann's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Then there is the true life story where the star pitcher that is traded for nothing leads his team to a championship, or the nothing payer becomes an All Star closer or starter. The story does not occur very often, but enough to give teams and fans hope -
The nothing to get comment pretty much describes any of the deadline trades so far
-
The head f an operation does have to project confidence in their decision making. There using of smartest guy in the room as a cutting comment is nothing but an emotional argument. The judging of what baseball players can be is mostly a crapshoot. The misses on the multitude of prospect analysis sites is large. The finding of diamonds in the trades is a rare occurance.

Alas Mathews continues to have too many games of ‘He pitched great except for “

Trading for Minter does noy show that they will spend crazy money on a player having a season that is below their pay grade.

Yup, spending over 200 million guarantees a winner., just look at Toronto and the Mets this year. If the Giants had spent 17 million more the still would be the second worst team in baseballl

I dunno, The mlb pipeline has Bruin listed as the Met’s 22 best prospect. The trade is surely a win for the Mets.

League average ERA which is about the best he has ever had as a starter, yet there has been a lot of hype like he is one of the best pitchers out there. If the GM can get some team t drastically overpay, why not trade? The Angels still won’t be any good next year so there really isn’t any point in keeping him
-
The point was they got one decent prospect for Helsley. I didn’t say anything about Weaver because the Twins don’t take on 11 million dollar relievers, they trade them
-
Realistically Prieller hasn’t gone for prospects so some sort of deal with Prielipp, Morris, Keaschall, Bradley being involved. Being that they both make 4 million, they might have to take Larnach
-
The number 8 prospect for the Mets became the 18th best for the Cardinals. The other 2 were not ranked in the top 30 the Rockies trading Goodman was the GM fishing for compliments about his player. There is n fire there unless it is a blow out 2 top 50 prospects plus kind of trade

Looking back over the last 10 years, in the deadline rental trades the Yankees haven’t given up much more than a replacement level payer. Even in the non rental players it is rare for them to give up much.

How the Red Sox Changed Everything for the Twins
old nurse replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Only has to play as well as the 2nd best team in the league, and not have any other team also get hot. Considering the amount of interleague play, they would have to be the 8th best team in baseball -
From an article last year that quoted the athletic writer Jhostynxon Garcia, also known as “The Password,” was part of the deal Boston put together, but the overall package, according to McCaffrey, "was not substantial enough to land Ryan."

Bradley was beyond being a prospect That was a trade of veterans

1 out of 20. Was what I said in the first post. Keep reinforcing the notion that I have to repost every one of my posts when I respond to you. Dave Hollins trade 30 years ago. Also in the Twin’s years, Ortiz’s best year by war was 1.3, not even close to what he was in Boston. You can’t say he would have done like he did in Boston had he not been there. You think, 2 players in 30-40 years means it is a good strategy?.Just ignore the differences in scouting then and now with the technology Jared Camp was a rule 5 pickup and traded after the draft. I would think that anybody who is a Twin’s fan would know the difference between a rule v trade in the off season and a deadline trade

So provide a fact that it is wrong , versus the greatness that Tyler Watson, Zach Littel, Dietrich Enns Gabriel Moya, Nick Tepich, Chris Gimmez and Dakota Chamers
-
What is incoherent about you trade all star players, you get something back that may help a club, when you trade the non all stars, it is rare to get a useful payer back?
-
I guess I should have repeated my first post so you might have understood
-
Joe Ryan was the return for a payer that was having a season where he was an all star.. Other than Ryan, none of the players bandied about as trade candidates are all stars.. I made that distinction very clear in my first post. I guess expecting people to remember what they responded to id a bit to much to ask.
-
When you get a career minor league payer back, the team gets nothing. Occasionally a team will make a mistake at the deadline and send a Joe Ryan, but it is a rare occurrence. It doesn’t build a team. There really is nothing that drastic about selling or not selling expiring contracts.

Caleb Durbin is about the only player of note Cashman has given up as a prospect. The Dodgers are even stingier
