    As I stated in a different reply, someone is offering Liriano multiple years at well over $12M. If someone offers him $20M, even over 3 years, that's an extra $7.5M for a guy who has already had two serious arm injuries in his career. He's not taking the qualifying offer and saying "I'll get paid next year". He's taking the money and running, since he knows if he has one more arm issue, there is no more "next year" for his baseball career. And as far as "two AAA players" goes: One has a mid 600s OPS in 2500 minors PAs, and the other profiles as a reliever at best, and has progressively struck out less and less batters as he moved up, to where he's now at a Pavano-esque level. (Unless the staggeringly large 17 IP sample in AAA is to be believed. Which it most assuredly isn't.) Yippee.

    Some front office will bite on his potential, even if he's unimpressive the rest of this year. There's no way a guy with Liriano's injury history takes a one year deal when he's one bad tweak of his elbow away from the end of his career, and someone will throw at least 3/$20 at him.

    You mean, besides a comp pick?
  4. FrodaddyG
    I'll roll the dice with an unknown over two proven mediocre assets.
  5. FrodaddyG
    Keep him and take the single comp pick which has a better chance of being a meaningful player than either of these schlubs?

    I'm coining the phrase "Mateo Tolberto" to be used for any reference to "utility guy from the Liriano trade" from this point forward.

    Hey, what are the odds you could get the 20-something best Padres prospect with a sandwich pick?
  9. FrodaddyG
    I guess JR should have taken the Bundy/Machado offer when he had the chance.
  10. FrodaddyG
    Well, you certainly can't argue that there's no consistency in what the organization looks for.
  11. FrodaddyG
    So a hitter with a career minor league OPS of .666 over ~2500 PAs, and a pitcher whose walks have trended up and K's have trended down every step up the ladder until his 17 innings of AAA ball this year. Yay?
  12. FrodaddyG
    You mean the ones in the initial post?

    Anything from Buxton this season is gravy in my book. Between adjusting to better competition, wooden bats, and playing a bunch more games beyond his normal school season, he (and any other just-drafted HS player really) is probably pretty overwhelmed. Definitely a positive that the earlier signing date lets him take some of these lumps this year instead of next season.

    Not to mention his German heritage would be a huge asset in predicting the sausage race outcomes in the Miller Park series.

    I like the part where they talk about Gibson's two perfect innings, and conveniently fail to mention Wimmers' performance. (That being .2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB)

    There's also the "back" button on your browser. Top left-ish.

    Trust us, we're less pleased about us being here than you are.

    September callups don't count towards service time.

    I tried plugging this into Google translate and it kept telling me it already was in English...

    And, with this thread, Twins Daily has reached a new low...
  22. FrodaddyG
    They're always confusing strikeouts and walks.
  23. FrodaddyG
    I'd like it more if two of them hadn't seen big league time last year and are now two levels lower.
  24. FrodaddyG
    So because it happened with you, that means "a lot of the state of Wisconsin" are "very large supporters of the Braves"? Better inform the Red Sox that they should start slashing payroll since the Braves resided in Boston during the 40's when my great-uncle was in their farm system. Such a divided hometown fan base is certain to be a crippling blow to their popularity and ability to compete.

    No picks for guys who weren't on your roster to start the year, so the only team that could potentially get picks for Liriano is the Twins.
