    Red Sox are supposedly interested in Kintzler. They are a half game up on the Yankees and Price hit the DL today with more elbow trouble. I wonder if the Twins could package the two to get a better return (from one team or the other).
  2. Willihammer
    Can we trade him for Hicks?

    And miss the chance to witness the most rare play in baseball- abase hit with 2-outs and RISP??? No way!

    Looks like a good trade. The Twins-DBacks catcher pipeline flows on.

    Revising this, the Twins went 4-8. They're two game below .500. 3rd place in the division (5.5 GB), 4 games back of the 2nd wild card spot, behind the Royals, M's, and Rays.

    For the record, I don't think they're terrible. They're way better than I expected them to be, but still a long ways off from doing anything in the playoffs. Every time we play a playoff team (Red Sox, Astros, Rockies, Dodgers) this becomes more clear.

    Berrios looks like a pro, although the scouting projection of him topping out as a #3 are looking more likely IMO. Mejia is frustrating. I really, really hope someone forces him to cut 25 pounds over the winter and field his position better. He has a good slider, decent velo, and that's enough to get by most of the time. He just leaves too many outs on the field due to poor fielding of his position. Cutting weight might help him go deeper as well. I don't expect big Erv to throw multiple CGSO's in a season for the rest of his career. He's still okay, but peripherals (and age) suggest he could be nearing the beginning of the beginning of the end. Gibson and May are complete non-factors as far as the rotation goes IMO. So they have two spots to fill in free agency, one of which I expect to be Garcia, on a 2-3 year deal probably. They really need to go big on the other one to have a prayer. Get Otani or Darvish. It'll never happen of course, but that should be the penalty for a decade of ineptitude with developing pitching internally.

    This team just can't hang with the big boys. Didn't even face Kershaw!

    Curtiss and Reed too

    No fun with numbers- the Dodgers have 4 (!) regulars with a higher OPS than Miguel Sano. Ouch.

    Glaring omission from the MLB list is Jo Adell. Hitting .350/.381/.650 thru 43 PAs in the Arizona League.

    mlb.com posted potential value trade targets http://m.mlb.com/news/article/244167456/samardzija-blevins-are-worthy-trade-targets/ Samardzija is offered as a less costly alternative to Gray. Our old friend Anthony Swarzak is also mentioned.

    Ah, I forgot that detail. Don't think a QO would apply here anyways since he's a rental, no?
  21. Willihammer
    Right but I'm talking about a trade and sign, like Pavano.
  22. Willihammer
    Honestly I'm sort of conflicted. We needed to make a deal for 2017 and this is a hell of a lot better than nothing but as others have speculated this seems like stage one of a trade and sign and in that sense Garcia would be a pretty underwhelming long term acquisition. Rather have gone after Darvish, if that's the plan.
  23. Willihammer
    Personally I wonder if Buxton would get their attention, with Comerica's gigantic outfield. Maybe they'd even eat some salary.
  24. Willihammer
    Another point about Verlander, the Tigers are rumored to be motivated to move him. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/244095610/mariners-set-to-enter-trade-mix-for-gray/

    http://m.mlb.com/news/article/243430828/statcast-takes-a-look-at-top-trade-candidates/ Likes: Britton Gray Watson Verlander Reed Darvish Wilson Bruce Dislikes: Cozart Alonso This is good news for the Twins as Statcast likes all the top pitchers. Verlander in particular looks like he's due for positive regression.
