    I've got to question this website, at least at the extremes. Royce Lewis for Mike Trout straight up is considered a fair trade. Would anybody here realistically NOT deal Lewis for Trout???
  2. RedBull34
    He would not be the first failed Twins starter to come back and be a worthy relief pitcher. Hopefully the Twins actually keep one of them around this time!
  3. RedBull34
    I understand Trout, Springer, and Betts are all likely to get in, but it feels like such a snub that none of the Twins OF's are likely to get in, when they are all having such great seasons. I'm expecting Cron, Polanco, Berrios, and one of Perez, Odo, and Rogers are the Twins All-Stars this year provided they keep up their pace.

    I wish Verlander had gotten a scheduled day off yesterday...

    I'm not a huge fan of trading for Realmuto, since he is a C, unless the Twins made a couple of other moves. I think I'd need to see the Twins land Machado (which isn't going to happen) to make me a backer of trading for Realmuto (kinda like the Brewers with signing Cain and trading for Yelich last year, they needed both to be a WS contender)
  6. RedBull34
    That's interesting because his previous number before that was #17, which is worn by Berrios . Before that #8 with the Brew Crew but that is open.

    "Specifics aren’t known, but it seems likely that the Twins would’ve had to outbid either by a fairly notable margin" This line really annoyed me. It's a conjecture. It's seems just as likely that he was simply going to accept the highest offer, or accept based on other factors. Not every player plays for rings. Some play for proximity for geographical preference (Reed). Some for $$$. Some for other reasons. And yes, some play for rings. There is no indication what motivates Cruz, and I wouldn't judge him based on that decision.
  8. RedBull34
    Fooled me!
  9. RedBull34
    Strong words, but low-balling has no impact here because he got his contract, and as for the vile treatment of players, I think you are really overselling the impact of keeping Buxton down last year on Cruz's decision making. Edit: And we have no idea what price point other teams were at. Cruz probably took the most $$$, which means that they would be the low-ballers, and not the Twins.
  10. RedBull34
    No. He was not attached to draft pick compensation as the Rangers and O's used the qualifying offer on him in 2013 and 2014 respectively, so the M's could not under the new CBA, which says that a player can only receive more then one QO in their career.
  11. RedBull34
    This does feel a lot like the Morrison signing, but I do feel that Schoop/Cruz will turn out better then Morrison/Lynn. Or maybe that's just my blind optimism.
  12. RedBull34
    I don't see this FO acquiring Cron if payroll is set at 100MM. It would make no sense.
  13. RedBull34
    If the M's covered 1/2 of Cano's contract, I'd give them a bag of balls.
  14. RedBull34
    Yea I agree with none of these. 1. Sano had one bad year. Hardly gonna write him off. 2. Kepler and Grossman are probably overutilized to win the division, but even teams like the Astro's and Dodgers have their weak points. They just don't have as many. 3. I would rather the Twins went all in on Goldschmidt before Cano, and preferably all in on no one. It should be a measured purchase. I just don't think that the Twins should trade Kirilloff and Lewis for any player in a reasonable trade (I mean, yea I'm dealing them for Acuna, but that's not happening.)
  15. RedBull34
    I thought they get relegated to AAA???
  16. RedBull34
    Not to mention the Twins have some internal options if they like (slide Polanco over and start Gordon @ SS for one, or vice versa). Not ideal, but it's not the worst option either if the $$ are spent wisely elsewhere.
  17. RedBull34
    In regards to other teams passing on Cron, the only team that passed on him that suprises me is the Rangers. Everyone else has decent 1B options (White Sox, Blue Jays) or prohibitively expensive options there already (Tigers and O's)
  18. RedBull34
    Cause Cano makes 24M a year and would cost prospects? His Defense is also declining (it's still good, but worse then it used to be), he was suspended for PED's, and he's 36. Any more reasons? He'd be a decent option @ 1B I suppose. I don't think I'd bite on that though. Pretty sure he's got a NTC as well...
  19. RedBull34
    I'll admit I'm intrigued by LeMahieu, but the price I've seen thrown around is 2/20 or 22M is far too high. I just can't see offering more then 2/14M on him (and I wouldn't start there!)
  20. RedBull34
    IDK, Corey Dickerson had a fine year and they did this with him last year.
  21. RedBull34
    Hmmm, With Cron on the roster and Robbie Grossman sure to be gone. The Twins really could use some LH or Switch Hitter Depth @ Corner Outfield and 1B. Probably C too since we all know that Castro is injury Prone. Guys...I've got a brilliant idea!
  22. RedBull34
    I don't see them dealing Grienke with Goldschmidt. Unless their primary goal is cutting payroll, it just seems that attaching Grienke would just lessen the prospect return for Goldschmidt.
  23. RedBull34
    I see what you're saying, but irregardless of the season Javier has, if Royce or Kirolloff keep it up, I don't see them getting dethroned. I also don't see them losing their Rookie eligibility this year either, barring dropoffs in production from Kepler or Rosario (or injuries to the same).
  24. RedBull34
    I don't think that would be a good thing...
  25. RedBull34
    Thank you very much. I did that for a cool 35MM average. Worth every imaginary penny.
