    I still wonder what he would have gotten at that point. I don't doubt teams would be interested

    Arcia

    Oh I agree, I was just thinking that movement was waiting until the trade deadline.

    Arcia

    drjim posted a topic in Minnesota Twins Talk

    I had pretty much expected the Twins would trade a bat and that Arcia would be called up. As we know this did not happen but the question remains on what to do with Arcia. My initial instinct was to say call him up yesterday but thinking about it some more does anyone think there is some value in having him avoid the death march of the dog days of August and instead keep him on a winning team that is driving for the playoffs in Rochester? He obviously misses the major league reps but he does gain some other aspects of development that could pay dividends in a couple of years.

    Cain would have been nice. This is a semantics debate. Liriano was a lottery ticket in that context but is still a better prospect than anything the Twins would have gotten for Morneau at this time.
  5. drjim
    I personally think they should replace Gardy after the season. But that is a little off topic.
  6. drjim
    No. You can't get an established major league reliever for Morneau right now. You have a very warped sense of what "lottery ticket" means in this context. None would be close to the caliber of Liriano at the time of that trade.
  7. drjim
    I know you aren't one to hold back hyperbole in your negativity, but I don't think anyone said Gardy was doing a "great" job. He's probably doing more or less what any manager would do with this collection of talent.
  8. drjim
    He would be in the minority if it was 2010. Alas it no longer is.

    Willingham's value was never that high no matter what people continue to believe. Certainly not higher than Revere or Span returns. What was your source? And even if this "source" is correct what does that return even mean? Perhaps that was the bigger sticking point than money. Why eat money and give Morneau away for nothing? They can do that in August just as easily.

    I agree with this. It would take a very unique situation for this to happen. It bothers me a little that national guys like Law mention this so casually even with so few examples to draw from.
  11. drjim
    I was thinking this too. I think a main reason is what they have squeezed out of this bullpen. Despite many criticisms of hid bullpen management I also found it to be a strength. Improved defense is a big factor too.
  12. drjim
    I would go the other way. Calling up Sano would probably lead to me spending more cents than I planned in September.
  13. drjim
    Analysis
  14. drjim
    The other option is to pass him through waivers in early August (assuming no one claims the contract) and hope he rebounds enough to get a little more value sometime later in the month.
  15. drjim
    This is surely true, but outside of Perkins they aren't getting much more than a bucket of balls.
  16. drjim
    Boston probably sold Iglesias at the perfect time. Don't think he hits all that much going forward, but dude can pick it.
  17. drjim
    No team that respects their fans would have a down cycle.
  18. drjim
    I would add too that the positions that are killing the Twins offensively are the corners and those are by far the easiest to shore up on a roster. It's just not nearly the concern to me that starting pitching is.
  19. drjim
    Read the rumors - they are big names that lead to clicks but probably won't be moved (ahem, Cliff Lee). National writers don't waste their time on the bit guys the Twins might trade. No one gets excited for Duensing or Burton.
  20. drjim
    How is it being missed? By suggesting the average guys are not the problem? Or starting pitching is a bigger one?
  21. drjim
    This is most likely true in the long term but is far from a certainty in the next couple of seasons both because Dozier could improve and Rosario could take some time. This will play out appropriately.
  22. drjim
    The move I care most about is Arcia and Tonkin getting called up and to a lesser extent Parmelee, Escobar and some of the AAA starters.
  23. drjim
    I would do the trade you proposed, I'm not sure that offer is out there. Maybe the disagreement we have is the definition of "fair".
  24. drjim
    This is especially positive when combined with the #1 ranked system. Not overly reliant upon minor league vets that are way too old for the level.
  25. drjim
    I don't see the need to trade for merely fair value. Twins need to be overwhelmed - which probably won't happen.
