  1. Boras never gives a discount. I think you are correct. They must like him
  2. What about Sam Dyson - Texas has designated him - Levine should know his character Try some of the starters that are getting shelled- maybe Koehler Miami This problem is disappointing because we had the worst bullpen in the majors last year and really did not do anything to address it.
  3. I am just glad we are not in Houston's division. They are really good. Made us look like a minor league team but teams can look a lot different by September. I think our only hope is two or three relievers stepping forward from the minors. Help will be expensive on the trade market. A lot of teams looking for pitching.
  4. His batting practice session was in the evening
  5. trades for players with more than one year of control may make sense. Maybe they can find a salary dump. I doubt that they would or should trade prospects at this point.
  6. I was at the game but had to leave in the 6th to catch a flight home. Park and Sano home runs were both no doubters. Duffey pitched very well much better than last Wednesday in the triple A game. I was waiting for him to get hit harder the second time through the lineup but he actually threw better. He started both hitters in the 4th with very slow curve balls for strikes. Really set up both hitters well. My highlight of the game was when the Toronto fan sitting next to me hollered " that's in the gap" on the ball Buxton caught. I was down here all week and I cannot imagine Park not making the team. It seemed like Liriano can strike out Sano every time. Sano does not get good swings against him. Sano hr came after Liriano left the game. Last year when I left for home I thought we were horrible. This year seems a little better. Hopefully the pitching can stay competitive. That is my worry. I think the defense is better. GO TWINS
  7. March is too early for negative energy. I am thinking positive. He could be a very good left handed reliever. Rather see him get the innings than Breslow.
  8. Went to the game today. Agree on Mejia. Hope he gets a rotation spot. Really enjoyed the minor league games. Duffey was sharp for two innings then struggled second time through the order. Seems like a reliever. Are there any minor league games tomorrow?
  9. Is there still a link to order the prospect handbook? I am late to get started this year. I suffer from 103 loss hangover.
  10. Smith may be a good start. Bullpen needs a lot of help. Hard to believe that they can say there was interest in Holland when he signs for 7M plus incentives and Twins did not top that offer. Does not give you confidence they will win the bid for Smith.
  11. How is Garver behind the plate? A good young catcher would be huge
  12. Dozier and maybe Santana brings back some young talent. Please move on from Plouffe. If Mauer does not want to waive his no trade just release him. Time to give Vargas and Park the at bats
  13. If he can fix the pitching problem it does not matter what he does with Molitor or Mauer
  14. I agree with your list but do not think it is long enough. Is Buxton ready for everyday CF. Is Kyle Gibson a reliable major league starter or does he need to pitch for a team that plays defense. Should you tender contracts to Plouffe and Santiago? Many many questions. Thanks for the article no matter how depressing.
  15. I am not sure why you wouldn't call him up. It is either that or what? Winter Ball? minor leagues are done this weekend. He needs work and I would way rather see him taking AB's than Schafer. I have no problem with this move.
  16. Don't think your pitcher of the day is correct. I like the forget about the big league part. Too depressing. Too late to fix. Thanks for the write-up
  17. No way they get either one of those guys. No shortstop is throwing Inciarte out on that ball to Polanco's right. Not sure what Dozier could have done with that with that hit up the middle. While I agree that the Twins defense is bad. These two examples are nit picking.
  18. Did Suzuki clear waivers or was he claimed? While a trade makes sense I can't imagine getting a return that ever reaches the majors.
  19. I agree with brvama. Rob Antony is doing fine on an interim basis. No need to rush.
  20. Pass on Gomez for this year. Just takes away developmental AB's. Boras as his agent so there is no future deal that would fit in with this team. Now if he is unsigned shortly before next spring might be worth a call.
  21. I don't see them going for Wieters or Ramos. They would require multi years probably at least four and they would block Turner and Garver. I think it will be Suzuki again and again (probably a two year deal)
  22. It is very important that Sano is able to play 3rd base. If that happens you could have Mauer, Park and Vargas on the same roster. Could rotate through the two spots and have a bench bat. But if Sano cannot stick at third base, and I don't think that can be determined now, there is a real roster issue. New GM will not resign Plouffe and may try and trade Park or Vargas. I would not trade either one for at least another year. I think both will move forward next year.
  23. If the price is what has been discussed on this thread then I think we should go for it. I can't imagine it is really this low. If Antony is auditioning could be a make or break move. SInce I think he is a long shot for the permanent job why not take a shot. Puig is as talented as Buxton.
