    Clearly an F. The White Sox may have passed by the Twins. The Pohlad's need to go.
  2. Chris Spencer
    Can he pitch out of the Bullpen? This team will be terrible unless they start getting some relievers!

    I would love to see Cruz get the job. His energy is what drove the Bomba squad. Hunter would be good too. Needs to be a baseball guy and not a total analytics need. Would also like to see some fire, Rocco was to nice.
  4. Chris Spencer
    He had a decent team to work with before the fire sale. If he was doing a good job the fire sale was probably not necessary, Not defending the ownership, they need to go as well,

    How many Wild card teams are you counting on calling likely playoff teams? NY or Baltimore are pretty much locks for 1. The Twins would need to be the second one in any trade scenario. Against current playoff teams since May they are 3 and 4. My main concern and why I stated go on a run is the record against Clev, NY and Baltimore who would be likely second round opponents.

    According to your chart, they are actually 8-7 and 1. Boston, Seattle and Arizona are not currently playoff teams which account for 4 our your wins. They are 3-7 and 1 minus those series. Against current division leaders they are 0 and 6. How does it sound now?
  7. Chris Spencer
    I still do not believe this team should invest any prospects into trying to improve for this year. The record against good teams just does not support them making any kind of a run this year. 1 and 3 since the break against good competition lends credibility. Sell of the expensive Vets and reset for next year.
  8. Chris Spencer
    If its not a quality starting pitcher, they should just stand pat and keep all of our prospects.
  9. Chris Spencer
    Lets see some article's about what the Twins can get at the trade deadline as sellers. This team would be terrible if it wasn't for the easy schedule. We will not be able to play Chicago and Oakland all season. They just looked bad against a pretty bad Tampa team. I do not believe this is a team we should be trading assets away to try and improve so we can get slaughtered in the playoffs again.
  10. Chris Spencer
    The focus should be on the Twins as Sellers, not buyers. The only thing they do well is beat terrible teams. What is their record against teams with a winning record?
  11. Chris Spencer
    This team does not look good. I think they should be sellers and not buyers. Teams with good starting pitching do not have long losing streaks like the Twins have had. Sell of the veteran's and pick up some talent and reset next year when the TV stuff has hopefully been taken care of.
  12. Chris Spencer
    In my opinion you are under rating Matt Canterino like you did Julian last year. His strike out numbers are elite and putting him below somebody like Soto is crazy to me. I also believe Prieplipp is better than several of the prospects on your list. TJ surgery doesn't kill a prospects status anyore.

    Lee and Julian don't play on the same side of the infield, that they are log jammed makes no sense. I would hate to see either of them go. Trade guys that don't have a lots of years of control like Polanco or Farmer if you are worried about numbers. Let the young pitchers develop instead of continuing to trade our young position players away to rent pitchers.

    I am not on board with the injury prone stuff. Sometime injuries happen and are inevitable but there are also players that know how to take care of themselves and other players that dont. There are also players that can play through injuries and players I would call SOFT. Buck is on the wrong side of both arguments. To me he is either in Center, on the bench or DL. I would not waste more than a few games of DH on him. In my opinion he is a huge liability at DH.
  16. Chris Spencer
    No chance I would have Buxton listed as a championship core player. He is a below average DH making star money. If he was playing 75% of his games in center I might reconsider. He is a negative asset to the team as its sits now. Correa's numbers might not have been awesome last year but he brings leadership quality's that are hard to quantify. I would have Pablo as part of the trio ahead of Buxton. I would say Royce, Walker and Brooks in a couple years has a better chance.
  17. Chris Spencer
    Philly would be great without the Sports fans, otherwise don't go there. They have absolutely the worst fans of anywhere.
  18. Chris Spencer
    They are on a losing streak and showed the front office how bad they are. I'm glad we didn't trade any young talent. I was on the sell side.
  19. Chris Spencer
    I wouldn't trade either of them. Gray I would hold onto and give the QO for draft compensation. Kenta has been very good and has a proven track record in the playoffs. I would be more willing to trade guys like Vasquez, Farmer or Solano.

    The whole post is actually about Buxton working behind the scenes to see if he can play center, did you read the article? Also, Solano has the Highest average on the team and can hit a curveball.
  22. Chris Spencer
    Thanks Ted, I really enjoy these pieces on the draft picks.
  23. Chris Spencer
    Buxton in Center, Julian/Polanco at 2nd. Solano, Walner, Gallo or Miranda at DH. Taylor as a spot start in the outfield to rest guys.
  24. Chris Spencer
    You have to compare the DH to Taylor, not Buxton. Buxton would replace Taylor in the lineup as a center fielder. Taylor has his moments but there are a number of guys that would look better in the lineup everyday.
  25. Chris Spencer
    I disagree with the help has to come part, I would start dumping veterans and adding prospects. Trade players like Kepler, Taylor, Vasquez, Farmer, Pagen and Lopez. I would also consider putting Buxton on the IL until he can play in the outfield, even if that is next year or forever. Make room for some of the young guys who are playing at least as well and get them some experience. This team will not compete against good teams in the playoffs and it does not make sense to trade any prospect capital to try and sneak into the playoffs from a terrible division to add more playoff misery to the fan base.
