    Why not try a Larnach Ober package for Woodruff. He'd be an upgrade, Lopez is like Bassit good but not for Luis. Some say he isn't worth an Ace, then if he doesn't have that value move prospects. Lopez is also similar to Gray, who we traded Petty for I. e. a mid 20s draft pick, are you trading Luis for a mid 20s draft pick?

    Hoping the Marlins get him with James again and not having to play in the cold.

    MLB, NBA should partner and create a bundle potential with options for just 1. MLB has history of building tech platforms and are good at it. Make content as near free as possible and focus on getting engagement up. Between ads, and affiliate rev from potential gaming rights the app should be like classic broadcast TV available to everyone. They can add more picture in picture ads, and offer hyper targeted ads so companies pay MLB more because of the amount of eyes on the content. If baseball was everywhere and accessable, the ad rev would be the best there is.

    I've long been a huge fan and sad to see him go. His truly random injuries robbed him if momentum and I wonder what might have been without Donaldson. I hope he signs with the Marlins, they need offense and have James Rowson. Plus I think he'll thrive in warm weather

    Ideal deadline 1) Trade Larnach and Miranda for Lopez and Bass from Miami 2) Trade Ober and Steer for Montas and Trivino Both these deals meet the value match on MLB Trade Values. Imagine a rotation of Montas, Lopez, Gray, Ryan. All controlable through the end of next year. We keep our top pitching prospects and Royce + Alex. Walner is close to ready and Alex can handle first or LF. We extend our RP and both can be retained for next year. This also buys time for Balazovic, Winder, and Conner and Caterino.

    His home road splits are interesting. If we could lead with Walner and keep the majors I'd be thrilled

    MLB Trade Values two biggest changes were the increases to Steer and E Rod who are now at 14 and 15 respectfully for surplus value. I won't trade E Rod, his kind of damage in fort Myers is rare with you usually able to add 100 points to a hitters ops given the tough hitting conditions. I would be open to Steer, he is a bit of a pop up prospect and doesn't seem like he could profile at SS. Weirdly I think the biggest unknown is how Acala and Maeda are looking in recovery as if healthy they would be the top RP any team could add, Bednar not being traded.

    I think we take a prep player in 11. We saved money on day 2, two sign our top two of one of them doesn't sign then while we lose that bonus money we can take our day 2 savings and use it for prep player.

    I know some are down on Lee given comments that he may not stick at SS and not convinced by the comments that the bat will play. I would encourage those people to compare the 2015 draft profile of Alex Bergman vs Lee. Lee has same defense, arm, run, but is higher on contact and power.

    I see we grabbed a number of Seniors earlier than usual and that we were going with lower ranked or un ranked players, assuming most seniors sign for 10k and normalizing bonus to rank I think we have 1.3mm which would give our second round guy nearly 3mm or about rank 24 money. We can also go five percent over or about 500k and only pay tax, so all in all I am happy.
  11. Ryan_K
    I'd like Maybe RP Tenn ranked 250 with one of our next two picks.
  12. Ryan_K
    I hope we get a HS pick even if they want over slot. If we offer full slot, and they refuse to sign then we get pick 9 in a better draft next year, so we would have two first round picks plus comp a as well. Go for Lesko or one of the top 7. Twins don't usually have guys play much that first year, so him having TJ shouldn't delay him. Even if we go with Berry, maybe he becomes the Polar Bear Pete Alonso for us, so I think we'll get talent if we don't get too cute.
  13. Ryan_K
    He's fine but not exciting. I know from a probability pov a Michael Cuddyer career is good, but would love upside like how Corey Seagee fell to Dodgers at 8 or 9 back in the 2012 draft.
  14. Ryan_K
    Conteras is intriguing, Gary could be gone and Jeffers is batting below 200. I think if we could get him and extend for 4 years 18 mm a year, I would do it.
  15. Ryan_K
    I would have liked Months, statcast is more favorable than Castillo, but the injury has me out. I like Ryan, Gray, Ober, Winder going forward. Next year we add back in Maeda and Padack. I think Archer could play in relief or in a piggy back if the desire is for Balzy, Garland or SWR should join the rotation. Balzy has been rough but it's a knee issue not ark so not concerned long term
  16. Ryan_K
    2 under the radar names to look into Scott Effross (Cubs) Victor Arano (Nationals) Both clubs are out of it and they aren't household names yet. These are two who could be what Bednar with Pit is now
  17. Ryan_K
    Looking at next year we already have Gray, Ryan, Maeda, Padack, Over, Winder and Smeltzer, we have current minor league guys like Jordon B, Catering, Garland, Festa, Enlow. I don't think we need controlable SP and controlable dependable RP is a oxymoron Bednar from Pit is great but RP can fall off cliff in hurry
  18. Ryan_K
    Would love this for the Twins. 17 years old facing advanced competition and most reports indicate he is a third baseman, not a DH in disguise.
  19. Ryan_K
    Lesko having TJ confirmed. Still says it's likely he'll be drafted. Not the worst pick since draft year we usually shut them down and Year 1 we do complex league, so he is not missing much inning building years. But I think Greene falls to us, so we can have a future Buxton Jo Dell type.
  20. Ryan_K
    I say let Valimont start through April, if they don't see a change move him to the pen. Give him 5 weeks to try that out and cut him if the adjustments are not there.
  21. Ryan_K
    Does anyone have an update on Misael Urbina? I can't find him.
  22. Ryan_K
    Based on feedback, it seems both sides like it more than I thought they would.
  23. Ryan_K
    I am thinking a Paddack and Gore for Larnach, Rogers may be in play.
  24. Ryan_K
    I think Royce is top, Mlb.com had him at 70 speed on the newest rankings. He might slow down, but he learned about mechanics in his recovery, so I could see him being a student of running like Buxton. Buxton works out with a track coach to keep him fast, I hope Royce is invited next year.
  25. Ryan_K
    If we can get Tepara or McHugh on a one year deal for less than 8 million, I'd like our bullpen a lot more. Add in Pineada on a 1 year 10 million contract and we might sneak into the third WC spot.
