    60-day DL, right shoulder tendonitis, might return later this month... As far as the Dodgers go, at this point I wouldn't mind a return like this: One of Walker Buehler or Mitchell White + Shea Spitzbarth + one of DJ Peters or Luke Raley

    Other than blocking prospects who will be ready when Dozier's contract is up, Dozier's arm is too weak to play at 3B (was inadequate at SS, that's why he moved) and he is just too short to play first. I'd rather see the Twins move them sooner than later, and getting something back in return...

    That's horrible. I just don't see how anyone can draft this guy. He was 43rd in BA, 76th in Klaw's (before he removed him today), and 108th in MLB.com charts That said. I am not sure what to think regarding Deadspin unsealing minor (age) offender records and making them public. Bit conflicted here, but, gee, his offense with a 3 to 5 year old never the less is just hideous...

    You did not look at NL West, I suspect All 3 top teams need a second baseman. Forsythe is hitting .191/.318/.258 for the Dodgers I'd look at the Rockies and D-backs before trade him to the Dodgers. The Rockies and their young staff might be a good landing spot for Santana as well and they have plenty of MLB-ready arms (Hoffman & Marquez two of them who could be plug into the Twins rotation right away) who are not their headliners this season to make this a package of a deal...

    yes and yes. And Kinzler's BS hurt.

    Here is the fWAR ranking Sano Kepler Grossman Castro Mauer Dozier Santana Polanco Berrios Duffey/Buxton (tie.) And the bWAR ranking: Santana Sano Kepler Castro Grossman Berrios Polanco Buxton Dozier Mauer and the B/P WARP ranking: Sano Santana Kepler Berrios Duffey Mejia Grossman Castro Dozier Buxton 10 for the first and so and so and 1 for the tenth. The consensus of all 3 will be: 1. Sano (29) 2. Kepler (25) 3. Santana (23) 4. Grossman (18) 5. Castro (17) 6. Berrios (14) 7. Dozier (9) 8. Mauer (7) - Polanco (7) - Duffey (7) As close to a quasi-objective ranking as possible. Survey says that Grossman and Castro have been more valuable than people's gut feelings...

    He is listed at 6-2, 250, and has only one tool...
  9. Thrylos
    Not that long. He smoked marijuana. Several Twins players have tested positive for that, some multiple times. Do they have a "long string of off field issues?". Oh, he miss curfew once too
  10. Thrylos
    Way low rating on Seth Romero because of his personal stuff. That's a guy the Twins should take a flyer on
  11. Thrylos
    If I were to compare Kepler to a player he reminds me of both in style of play, power and speed combination, glove, and demeanor (albeit Kepler is very soft spoken in his young age,) it will be Paul O'Neil. Check out the OBP difference between Kepler and Yelitch, Burks, Green etc. And check O'Neil's career numbers, esp in an early age.

    1. Jose Berrios 2. Tyller Duffey 3. Taylor Rogers Has anyone checked Santana's FIP and K/BB lately?
  13. Thrylos
    The Twins used 7 different starters this season. The league leading Astros used 8. just sayin'...
  14. Thrylos
    Well... his full name is Christopher Lee Heston. Hope he is blood thirsty
  15. Thrylos
    It's complicated He has been a starting pitcher mainly, and has made a few relief appearances in the majors. Sounds like the Twins will use him out of the pen. "Claimed off Waivers" means that his contract will be the same he had with his previous team, likely MLB-minimum or close to it.
  16. Thrylos
    He had 3.41 ERA, 1.17 WHIP (.286 BABIP), 22.1 K% in the PCL this season. The only AAA Twins' pitcher better than him is Nik Turley. Who makes me think, why not Nik Turley? But an upgrade over Romero at this point and the Twins do need a fresh arm. Like Wilk he can be DFA'd in a week or so, if needed.
  17. Thrylos
    You trade him, but you trade him for someone who you can plug in the rotation right away and potentially be an improvement over Santana the next couple seasons plus. And you get another piece. For example: The Yankees are unexpected contenders and I think a great target team and with Tanaka faltering and Sabathia and Pineda over-performing but far from a sure thing, they'd love to have some veteran presence along with Severino; and they are the Yankees and used to those trades. So you trade Santana for Jordan Montgomery who gets in the Twins rotation right away (and is a lefty and can compliment Berrios for a while) and grab an MLB-ready reliever who is blocked by several in the Yankees' system, like Tyler Webb, who will help the Twins right away. Win-win. You can get better in 2017 and you can trade Santana. Not mutually exclusive.
  18. Thrylos
    That's highly unlikely. The last month Santiago's numbers: 9.93 ERA and 1.941 WHIP (.292 BABIP) That's barely warm body numbers...
  19. Thrylos
    Not even close. Twins' ERA by catcher: Castro: 3.80 (327 IP) Gimenez: 6.76 (157 IP) #FreeMitchGarver
  20. Thrylos
    I think that we have seen enough of Santiago, Wimmers, and Rosario. Santiago can be the long man and replaced in the rotation by Turley; Melotakis can replace Rosario and Busenitz, Wimmers.
  21. Thrylos
    with the bases empty. 2017 Dozier's splits: with men on: .145/.258/.224, 1 HR (89 PA) with bases empty: .290/.376/.527, 8 HRs (149 PA)
  22. Thrylos
    Great to see a bunch of Twins making their respective leagues' All-Star squads. Interesting to see how many will make it in the two highest level leagues (AAA and MLB)
  23. Thrylos
    The best thing about the Chattanooga game that needs to be noted more is that Jake Reed made his first real appearance (he faced a single batter in a previous game) this season, going 2 full innings with 2K and 1H. Reed can help the Twins more this season than Gonsalves can.
  24. Thrylos
    Cannot compare late first round picks to an 1-1 pick. Period.
  25. Thrylos
    I really want to see them make a play for Seth Romero and Alex Scherff with their second and third picks (supplementary and 2nd round) if they are there. I know I do have Scherff ranked higher than most (BA thinks he is a late 2nd rounder or so) but I do like his stuff
