    I have no idea why the Braves would want to trade unless they will improve their team. Whatever they have works for them. They are in first place and competitive. They will not be sellers by any means. Lucroy has a 90 OPS+. He is a below average MLB hitter. Why would the Twins want him? Realmuto is not happening. The Marlins have zero incentive of trading him. And if the Twins could throw in the farm and some way get him, are they just a Realmuto away from winning it all? Nope. So they should not do it. Cameron Rupp will be it. And getting rid of Wilson and his 42 OPS+ will not be a bad thing.

    Another LH OF. Cannot make it up.
  5. Thrylos
    None of those were elite (i.e. top 10) prospects, and Cuddyer, the best of the bunch, was never an OF as a prospect.

    I think that the best bet for a Day 2 hidden gem of a pitcher is a high school pitcher. The problem with high school pitchers is that they rarely have developed their secondary pitches yet (if they did they would not be on the board) and that selections depend on subjective scout projections. They are a crapshoot even at day one (paging Mr. Stewart) Yeah, can always trade an OF for a pitcher; however why not pick one at the first place? Also, and I know it is a partially different Front Office, but the Twins do not have a good record on the OF for P trades (and P for OF as well.)

    The defensive "shortcomings" I read about are: He threw out only about 20% of the runners, which has been translated as he has a weak arm, which is a leap of faith.He did not play in a top conference, so there are concerns whether he will be able to "handle pro pitchers", which is yet another leap of faith.

    The only problem I have with this pick is that he is yet another LH OF. With Rosario and Kepler in the bigs hopefully for a while, and Kirilloff ready in about 3 seasons (similar ETA with Larnach,) I really do not see a need for yet another lefty corner OF. Starting LHPs on the other hand...

    6-4, 213 as listed at the Oregon State site.

    Not a bad pick. He will be with the Twins soon, otherwise he would had not opted out from playing AAA ball 20 miles from his Austin home to play AAA ball in Rochester, NY. For. Sure. Bye bye Bobby

    Re: Littell vs Gonsalves vs Others. Littell is the most rested. Plus the last 10 days for Gonsalves: 2 GS, 5-2/3 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 7 BB, 6 K. The Twins smartly are going with the most rested and hotter arm. That said, Omar Bencomo is the hottest starter they have, but like May, he is not on the 40-man roster. As far as May goes, when he moves up, he will move up for good, and someone will need to be taken off the roster.

    From here: He has a two-seam fastball that sits at 89-91 and has a cutter like movement, a four-seamer that he throws at 92-93, which plays up because of high spin rate and advanced command. His main secondary offering is a true plus curveball. He also has an above average changeup that works well against LHBs. Littell is a student of the game and he spends a lot of time in advanced preparation before each start studying the opponents' hitters, a practice that will serve him well in the bigs. He has the ceiling of a mid-rotation starter with the possibility of seasons better than that. A young Phil Hughes is a good comparable for Littell, as far as the size and type of pitcher he is, as well as his potential. So total of 4 pitches.

    Really? Who the hay would want a child molester in their team. And a six year old child. There are crimes and there are crimes. But, gee. That guy should be behind bars.
  14. Thrylos
    And they would need a 38- instead of a 25-man roster with those moves

    Faneuil Hall?

    The operating word being 'will' and not 'should', I think that this team will not trade anyone, esp. the players acquired as free agents this off-season, because it might make the Twins an unlikely destination of future free agents. They will not trade Dozier because his manager and a large population of Twins' fans think that he is the cat's meow. What they will do is waiver wire watching and round robin to the minors with 2-3 bench and 2-3 bullpen spots. What I think it should happen, is a different story, and it would start by getting rid of anyone hired by the Ryan regime with a job in the FO or in a player development and field personnel position...

    Rosario, Kepler, Granite, and Wade are all left hand hitting batters, which makes your OF very inflexible. Cave too. LaMarre and Grossman are righties (or sh) and that's what they bring on the table. Zander Weil who has been hitting .311/.377/.446 in AA (better than Wade) and Jimmy Kerrigan who is hitting .299/.364/.516 between high A and AAA, are the only decent options at high levels. Add the fact that Baddoo, Kirilloff, and Arias are all LHH, the Twins are really hurting for right handed outfielders, and DFAing Palka who has a .833 OPS in the majors was a mistake.
  18. Thrylos
    That's a concussion in making...
  19. Thrylos
    OFs Carlos Aguiar & Jose Andujar, SS Luis Gomez, RHPs Yordin Mateo & Yolby Guzman for starters
  20. Thrylos
    Nope. He is on the 60-day DL, which will mean taking someone off the 40-man roster. Santana will not be off the 60-day DL, until he can prove he can pitch in a game.

    Got to say something about consistency: I see that the always forgotten affiliate is still forgotten The DSL Twins' opening day is next Monday June 4th at the DSL Cardinals Blue. Methinks that there are at least couple of interesting prospects there to follow as well
  22. Thrylos
    His rehab assignment is done. Going back to see another doctor. Was topping at 88 in Fort Myers.
  23. Thrylos
    If he develops that way, he might be an All Star at 33 when playing for the Yankees
  24. Thrylos
    I don't see it this season. Blackenhorn, Davis, Kerrigan, Rooker, and even Wiel are likely ahead of them.
  25. Thrylos
    Sub "charisma" for "character", and I am with you on this one. Different things and Lewis is definitely a charismatic individual (which is no indication of character, but people tend to confuse them sometimes.)
