    I am going to spring training. Will this be every Friday or a one-time event? I did have one question - Do you think the Twins will add any other free agents?

    I am glad they made the trades to blow it up. I had not enjoyed watching this team much their past couple hundred games. Soulless baseball is a new term to me but I think you are spot on. There has been a lot of debate on the returns of these trades but I am glad they made them all. There needs to be new energy and accountability on this team. It had to start with moving Correa and his contract. He was not going to be of any value to the Twins this year or next as they change direction. There would be two years left on his contract when the Twins may be trying to contend plus some vesting options. To get out from under that was the best move they made at the deadline. You are correct to not credit the front office for moving the contract since they are the ones that created this mess.

    Excellent concept. I would add Prielipp to the formula.

    I don't think they want to start the arbitration clock on real prospects in a lost season.

    The worst part in my mind was walking Ruiz with 4 of 5 non-competitive pitches. They weren't even close. Mostly breaking balls to the Dodger's pinch runner. He is their Keirsey and we walked him with 4 clear balls. Why we did not go right after him and make him beat us was very frustrating

    I didn't think Baldelli managed this series like he knew he had to win it. Why open with Paddack? Everyone fully rested he would have been my last choice. In fact I was hoping they would move him back to the bullpen and insert Ober back in rotation. Then in the Saturday game he went to the back of the bullpen for the last two innings in a game we had to win. A three run lead is not that safe in Coors. I was thinking Jax and Duran. Instead Rocco saved them for Sunday when they were not likely needed with Ryan pitching. On the hitting side did we really need to rest bats on Sunday. We just had the All-star break and played 2 games. If Rocco knew how important that series was he sure did not manage like it.

    The only risk in this deal that I see is if Headrick turns out to be a useful pitcher
  8. Otwins
    They are closer to going the other way. Move Jax to the rotation and add relief pitching. Try to win with pitching and defense.

    Look at the Bullpen usage chart. Pablo needs to be very good tomorrow
  10. Otwins
    Can't make this stuff up and have a better story. Crazy

    Any chance Morris is called up to take Joe Ryan's spot if he misses some time?

    Nice Article - well done
  13. Otwins
    Do you think Miami would trade Puk? That is who I would be interested in. Nardi would be better than what we have

    Does Kiriloff have another option left? If he does swap Wallner for Kiriloff. I think Austin Martin will be optioned when Buxton is activated

    That was a very fun game and format. My only disappointment was how few fans stayed to watch. If I would have skipped a game today it would have been the regular spring training game. Way more enthusiasm by both teams in the prospect game. They used the robo umps for the prospect game and I can't wait for it to hit the major leagues.

    The ticket for the 1 o'clock game is good for the 4PM Prospects game. So you are good. I checked before I bought mine
  17. Otwins
    Adding Santana does make it possible to move Kiriloff back to the outfield for a year. They would have to get an awful good offer for Kepler before looking at that option.

    The question I have is if the court approves the television broadcast rights agreement next Friday will the team have additional money to spend. Seems like they should. I would go for Taylor. Centerfield insurance and hits lefties.

    Good thing Twins received money back in the trade because I think it is very unlikely that DeSclafani finishes the year pitching for the Twins. Look at the Twins track record in trading for Reds/Giants pitchers. Over/under on Tommy John surgery is June 1st. Overall I think this is a good trade for both teams. Twins needed the pitching depth plus a couple prospects and should be able to add one more right-handed hitter now that they have at least 5 million to work with. Seattle gets my favorite Twin who will fill their hole at 2B and bat in the top part of their order against either right or left handed pitchers. Like the old Miller Lite commercials - I feel very strongly both ways
  20. Otwins
    Good Call. I don't think they have ever picked up anyone that I think they might. If they get their TV deal settled and have some money to spend they can DFA a couple guys. Otherwise we hope for Bubba

    I think this article shows that Polanco holds a lot of value to the Twins. May bat second no matter who is pitching. Not sure they are going to be willing to trade that value without getting the same in return. After reading this I think he is less likely to be traded.
  22. Otwins
    Health is going to make a couple of the decisions but if Alcala and Staumont are healthy I think they are in. Throw in Funderburk with your four locks and I will take Ryan Jensen as number 8. Looks like on paper that they have some depth but that always seems to evaporate. Good Article

    Rooting for Rachael Balkovec. I have three daughters and played ball with Rachael's dad. Great family high integrity. Glad you mentioned her as it is quite an accomplishment.

    I felt that last year's depth was the real MVP. Not really one player. Castro, Taylor, Solano, Farmer all played big roles and none were starters at the beginning of the year. I hope they do not trade Kepler, Polanco or Vasquez. They still should have some money to spend and should be able to purchase a major league starter. That to me is what they do not have covered right now. I do not see a starter ready in the minors when inevitably a starting pitcher gets hurt. A back up center-fielder we should be able to piece together. Bullpen there may be help in the minors. MLB ready starting pitcher not seeing it. Good Post

    I hope they don't trade any of their players. Their best player last year was named Depth. I would keep him for this year. They have enough money to sign a major league starter. Clevinger was mentioned a couple times in this thread. He would be fine. Add a couple cheaper relievers. Worry about playoff starters at the trade deadline.
