    Good point, when the Twins were terrible in 2016, it was known that they were dangling him out to other teams. From what we know, there wasn't much interest in a very good 2B with 2 more years of cheap control. All I know is that they got a mediocre to okay offer from the Dodgers - so why are teams going to give us anything good for him now? There is a much higher demand for 2B than there was back in 2016 but for a 2 month rental the Twins aren't going to get very much for him.

    My problem with Dozier is that the past three weeks have been so good it’s masking the previous three months of bad baseball from him. Yes, he’ll probably finish hitting .240 with 30 HRs, but he’s part of the reason why the Twins are in a hole right now.
  3. Danchat
    Yep, Granite's on the DL, but I'd also like to see Wade reach the majors soon. Buxton's on the DL too, of course.
  4. Danchat
    Well, he's assuming Sano's at his lowest... in the last calendar year his bat has turned from All-Star caliber to Mendoza line hitter who would set the new single season for strikeouts if he got the chance, his defense has been subpar, he was accused of assaulting a woman, he's failed to lose [enough] weight, he got injured again, he's playing at A+ right now... Sure, it could get worse, but I'd have to imagine this is his lowest. Selling him within the next 8-10 months is not a good idea.
  5. Danchat
    I saw he gave up 0 runs, so I was about to compliment him, but he had to give up 5 walks... I guess he's wildly effective! Kiriloff is pretty darn good. All he does is hit!
  6. Danchat
    Yes, yes, more of this. Some guys are simply going to get away from the team and do better elsewhere (Yangervis Solarte comes to mind, Dereck Rodriguez) but I think the Twins should be looking to find out what we have in some players so we can avoid DFA'ing the next Randy Rosario and Chargois. And hey, just because we trade away a few vets doesn't mean we have to stop competing; it didn't stop last year's club. I'd like to see some more young 'uns in the bullpen - say bye to Belisle and Rodney and get guys like Jake Reed, John Curtiss, and Gabriel Moya up here. That's just a start of a list they should try to exhaust.

    If you could guarantee they'd all pan out, yes, that'd absolutely be worth it. Though with 5 prospects your chances of getting good player(s) is higher just because you've acquired so many.
  8. Danchat
    Dustin May is not a part of the deal, it turns out.
  9. Danchat
    Sounds like 5 prospects are going to the Orioles so the Dodgers can get Machado... will the Dodgers have enough money to offer him a big deal at the end of the year? It sounds like a big risk to get just 2.5 months of Machado for those prospects... depending on their caliber.
  10. Danchat
    You mean he's going to free agency at the end of the 2019 season, right? He's a lock to be tendered for the 2019 season at this point. I do agree that he's at his peak value right now and it's the perfect time to trade him, but I do think we can compete in the 2019 season and he's our second best starter right now - I think it's fine to punt on 2018 but punting on 2019 would be foolish at this point.
  11. Danchat
    I just read that Fernando Romero is being optioned back to AAA. I'm thinking Ervin Santana might be getting activated... but I also think this means Belisle isn't getting axed yet (I imagine Motter is DFA'd to get him onto the 40 man roster).
  12. Danchat
    I would definitely want to trade Odorizzi if I could... the A's can get an extra year of him if they wish because I'm not sure I want the Twins to tender him in 2019. I'd be willing to trade Lynn for about anybody. Like, as in "any body". I would be very cautious about trading Gibson. I'd rather keep him in the rotation next year unless someone offers a worthwhile package for him.
  13. Danchat
    Well, that's some good two out hitting from the Rays. Stringing 4 hits in a row...
  14. Danchat
    They called it "shoulder inflammation", which I think means that they must have taken a look (MRI?) at the shoulder. It's possible he could be on the DL for awhile.
  15. Danchat
    It's bizarre how well he's pitched, and he looked terrible during spring training and it looked like the Twins FO gave up on him when they needed to. Maybe Sanchez is just a guy who'll always be better in the NL? If I remember right he only had one good year with the Tigers.
  16. Danchat
    Roster Resource says he has one more option year after 2018.
  17. Danchat
    If he doesn't pitch tomorrow and we need to use the bullpen for more than two innings, I'm going to be baffled. I understand keeping him fresh and not burning the entire bullpen today, but Molly's just not using him. I am fine with a position player pitching the 9th but they could have used Magill earlier.
  18. Danchat
    Slegers has been placed on the DL with shoulder inflammation, and Romero's been called up to start tomorrow's game. I don't think Odorizzi is going anywhere unless things get much worse.
  19. Danchat
    Yeah, but we have better options than the both of them at AAA. Casilla is 37 years old with 6.3 K/9 and 5.7 BB/9 - it's a fluke his ERA isn't worse. I'd look elsewhere to replace Belisle.
  20. Danchat
    Wait, why are they bringing out their closer with a 13 run lead?! Did they miss the one and see the score was 9-6?
  21. Danchat
    They could emulate Tampa's bullpen game strategy and have Slegers and Magill basically be co-starters... but I can't see Molitor having that kind of creativity.
  22. Danchat
    I have no words. All I have is laughter - I actually find this quite hilarious, though.
  23. Danchat
    Astudillo is pitching?! Alright, I'm going to watch this.
  24. Danchat
    For as rough as a game Berrios had, he gave up as many hits did as Belisle did in just one inning.
  25. Danchat
    Maybe the Rays knew what they were doing when they traded for Cron instead of bringing Morrison back.
