    Arenado is a weird situation. He just turned 32 so he should be plenty good though the rest of his contract. And it looks like a ton of that money is deferred. Yet on the MLB simulator he has a negative trade value (assuming because of the contract size or full no trade clause) I would be very open to trading for him, basically wraps up the left side of the infield for next 3/4 years. With that said it would really depend on who the Cards wanted, I wouldn't trade Festa, Erod, Lee or Raya. But if Miranda, Miller and a younger pitcher I would do it. (or something like that)

    Probably the title - Folding Dallas Keuchel into 6-Man Rotation Would Be Wise Choice for Twins Would it be wise to put him into the rotation if there was no, a little, or moderate faith in him?
  3. TwinsDr2021
    Still goes to my question who are the guys people want called up with less experience? Larnach has 658 MLB at bats with an OPS+ of 93, Then there is Wallner and who? All I am asking is when people say young guys, prospects, whatever, please name them because without that is just seems like complaining without much thought put into it.
  4. TwinsDr2021
    I am against a 6 man rotation, I am against him being the next starter brought up. Varland should be the guy brought up if needed.
  5. TwinsDr2021
    Who are the young guys you are talking about? Larnach is 26 and has been a below average hitter since he was called up 3 years ago. Wallner is 25 and hasn't been given a chance and with the way this team has hit I don't believe this FO thinks he is a major league player. After that, who are the young guys?
  6. TwinsDr2021
    Castro is doing exactly what he did last year with the Tigers, other than walking a bit more. Not sure why Detroit let him go, maybe because he was Arb eligible and they didn't want to make him the 6th highest paid player on their team, or maybe they thought there were others with a higher ceiling that needed a 40 man spot. Or maybe they didn't want another below average player on their team. Lets be honest he is at best a back up player. .241/.284/.367/.651 - OPS+ - 87 .244/.321/.365/.687 - OPS + - 90

    The Twins have little to no prospects in AA and AAA, which wouldn't be a bad thing except Lewis is hurt again, Larnach and Miranda have struggled, Wallner hasn't been given a chance, Julien and AK have been good. On the pitching side not very good either.
  8. TwinsDr2021
    I would assume most teams that have hit as poorly as the Twins would have already given Severino a shot or at minimum moved him to AAA. and maybe even Fajardo (24 in AA, looks like he has a good eye and speed) or maybe even Soularie (also 24 in AA, K's are high but also walks) or even Keirsey (26 in AA). Why are these guys wasting away in AA while AAA is loaded with really old non-prospects?
  9. TwinsDr2021
    Have to ask what you mean by younger players? the 20,21,22 year old players in High A, the 22,23 year old players in AA or the 25 or older players in AAA?
  10. TwinsDr2021
    Can't say I disagree with Sell, but I want nothing to do with this FO rebuilding. they have had their time and it has gotten us 21, 22, 23 and zero playoff wins.
  11. TwinsDr2021
    Chapman and nothing IMO. the next year as of now is looking pretty stacked. Seems like don't spend this offseason, figure out what they have (hopefully a new FO) and get ready to spend the following offseason.
  12. TwinsDr2021
    The way I see it the only real differences between the current FO and the last FO is the current FO willing to trade a few of the pitching prospects (Graterol, Petty, Hajjar) Ryan was a great trade, Duran has been great, but it isn't like the old FO had a problem with getting/converting pitchers into the closer role. Not defending the prior FO their time at ended, but this current rotation has come with a price. Ryan - great trade basically free Gray - top 5 prospect and first round draft pick Lopez - all star player Ober - great draft development even with all the injury set backs. Maeda - top 3 prospect Plus the trades for Mahle and Paddock. Don't get me wrong I am fine with this approach (actually like it) but lets not pretend it doesn't come with a cost.
  13. TwinsDr2021
    I think what he is saying is how come the Twins don't have that young superstar player that debuts really young and is really good. (like a Buxton (21), Sano (22), Berrios(22)). It seems like with this front office guys that are young and good are still way down the system and seemingly still years away.
  14. TwinsDr2021
    He just turned 24 and is playing in AA, so decent is about the best we can hope for. in 21 he played in A and A+, in 22 A+ and AA, this year AA, so on this pace he ends up in AAA this year, starts in AAA next year and ends the season at the Twins at age 25. Of course he has K'd 42% of the time so far this year, which basically translates into a career minor league player.
  15. TwinsDr2021
    I got offered two tickets a few rows behind the Twins dugout for yesterday's game. Turned them down and went fishing with my son, didn't catch anything but was more fun than watching this team. That pretty much sums up on how I feel about this Twins team.
  16. TwinsDr2021
    exactly, you got it.
  17. TwinsDr2021
    IMO, you are wrong, like I said Berrios was a huge asset and to claim payroll relief is ridiculous. I don't care how Berrios did last year in evaluating a trade from our side, the other side can.
  18. TwinsDr2021
    You might have missed the whole thread, I didn't call Martin or SWR names, the other comment did and I wasn't comparing how well Berrios or Gray did or are doing. You can't have an asset like Berrios and claim it was a good trade because of Salary relief or you get utility guy or relief pitcher, You just can't and claim some sort of win. Like I said there is still time for SWR and somewhat Martin. And Yes 100% Gray was less and asset than Berrios at the time of those trades, if you don't think that you are wrong, the Twins got two top 100 prospects and the Reds got none, so....
  19. TwinsDr2021
    Hate to be that guy, but those 4 combined are not stocking the minors or beefing up the pen. Well maybe Polanco could do that. Based on the trade simulator. Gallo - 2.7, Gordon - 2, Kepler 1.5, Polanco 7.3
  20. TwinsDr2021
    He is a UFA next year, so you wouldn't think it would be much, but the trade simulator is showing even up for Varland or Festa or Miranda. Polanco or Wallner as underpays, and combo of Martin and SWR isn't enough either. All that seems like a high price for a UFA.
  21. TwinsDr2021
    Of course, but that wasn't the point I was making at all.
  22. TwinsDr2021
    Acuna and Albies have injuries in the last couple of years.
  23. TwinsDr2021
    Of all the Twins prospects since 2000, who really are the ones that would have hurt? Mauer, Morneau, Liriano, Berrios, Gibson, and Buxton, some might have stung a bit Baker, Polanco, Arrez, Cuddy, Ramos . The jury is still out on AK, and Lewis Thats it, maybe there are a couple more in the stung catergory.
  24. TwinsDr2021
    Based on the trade simulator, it would take Lewis/Julien/Varland wouldn't get the Twins Lawler. Sadly
  25. TwinsDr2021
    Julien is 24 and will be 25 April 30th next year, if he isn't ready to start, he probably never will be, Same with Wallner, Larnach, Miranda all these guys need a role, starting, utility, bench, or AAA whatever it is, but the unknown with guys this age makes if difficult to impossible to come up with a solid roster, and in the mean time the next group of prospects are getting old in AA. What is the old saying sit or get off the pot? Whomever the Twins FO feel they can't stick in the lineup and giving them the rest of the season to figure it out, should be considered trade bait (which seems like Wallner or Maybe Larnach)
