    Buxtons ops with RISP last year was 972.

    You mean there is risk in hanging on to Joe when we are not going anywhere? If this is in fact true I want to go back and fire Falvey all over again.

    Baseball is 90% half mental.

    This. You’ve nailed it once again. Get the highest ceiling guys you can get regardless of position and we can sort out the excess later if need be. If EmRod is great but doesn’t have anywhere to play he can be traded for additional value. Teams that are threats to win championships have several elite players, not a collection of mediocre bats that can’t play defense.

    I appreciate the specifics of this article. I like the Seattle package the best but would do any except San Diego. My only quibble is that I don’t care if the Twins rally before deadline, Ryan should be traded.

    The best thing that happened was that Buck didn’t get his knees destroyed making that catch as Martin almost submarined him. Keaschall and Lewis seem to be frequently off balance at the plate. About half the time when they swing they end up falling over the plate almost to the left hand batters box. That much movement perpendicular to the ball can’t be good.

    This. I have no desire to continue down this road of mediocrity with the same mediocre players. This lineup needs a big shake up.
  8. Linus
    I agree (except that is 66.6%). 😀

    I’m thinking this is what regression to the mean looks like for the Twins offense.
  10. Linus
    Unfortunately that bit of great humor is going to be largely unrecognized.
  11. Linus
    I’m not aware of anyone making that comparison. If they are it’s misguided.
  12. Linus
    Injury depth - possible utility man.
  13. Linus
    Two relievers and a fourth starter. All with multiple years of control. But you can only obtain them by trading some of the following: Martin, Bell, Mendez, Gonzalez, Rosario and Jeffers or any other non high end prospect.
  14. Linus
    The answer to the question is no, I don’t think Tom Pohlad will trade Joe Ryan, unfortunately.
  15. Linus
    I would rather have Keaschall get those at bats. He would be close in production and the experience valuable for his development.
  16. Linus
    Royce is in the weird spot once promising players sometimes fall to. His current value is low enough that the chance he figure it out is more valuable than the marginal player we would receive in trade. I would hang on to him and hope. If the Twins have a chance to add a real masher for first base in the off- season you could send him to St Paul.
  17. Linus
    Hard (very hard) pass.
  18. Linus
    They are AAA players. No more complicated than that.
  19. Linus
    100 times this. Some objectivity would go a long way in this discussion. The Twins can use an upgrade at every lineup spot but CF and catcher, and Jeffers has to be traded. We have some nice prospects that are close - some will make it, others will not. We need the additional talent only trading some guys can bring.

    Taj is a stud and he still has another level to unlock with a little greater command
  21. Linus
    So then he can, in fact, play anywhere 😀
  22. Linus
    Yep. If people are struggling with the concept they just need to watch Zebby pitch
  23. Linus
    I think you are misunderstanding me. I have been advocating for selling at the deadline as I believe our next good or better players are on the farm right now or could be acquired at the deadline. I’m simply saying the average fan underestimates the rate of attrition with prospects. That’s why you need a lot of them.
  24. Linus
    Hmmmm….i do. I read the minor league reports every day so I do enjoy following prospects just with the knowledge that most of them fail. Interestingly I actually think, with a couple shrewd trades that the Twins can be really good soon
  25. Linus
    Completely agree. Every great player was a prospect. And every great player loses it at some point.
