    Sorry, I can't accept the reasoning there. Julien is a great player and I'm excited we have him, but Luzardo easily has 3 times the value. Top of the rotation starters cost controlled for 3 years are like unicorns. It will (and should) hurt to acquire them. That doesn't mean it sets us back, like some have suggested, it means we leverage areas of strength (INF, OF depth and farm system) to completely set up our rotation for years to come. And, yes, maybe being friends with Lopez isn't all that meaningful. But being left handed certainly is.

    Again, not the takes I expected, but very interesting. I kinda feel like many of you are overvaluing prospects and selling JL's impact short. Regardless, if it is accurate that we could get him for much less, I sure hope we pull the trigger and get it done. A rotation headlined by him and Lopez should win the division and set you up well for the playoffs every year.

    Interesting feedback so far. I didn't expect so see much "too much to pay" sentiment. I don't know anything about the Marlin's farm system, so I purposely left the trade in favor of Miami. But I would expect the Twins to extract more value coming back. The price is definitely steep. But just think what you'd be getting: - top of the rotation starter - three years of arbitration control - throws left-handed - friends with our other top of the rotation starter

    No to the trade, or no I am not crazy?
  5. Joe A. Preusser
    I think this looks pretty good. I know trade values are not necessary spot on, but I think the Marlins WOULD do this and the Twins SHOULD. Thoughts?

    Gotta love the Gallo bomb.

    All those poor, sad, elitist Yankees fans ..

    Imagine all the awesome trade scenarios the folks over at Cubs Daily are coming up with.
  9. Joe A. Preusser
    Yeah, there.is no BUT. I can find you a 7 number (games played in this case) sample size to prove almost anything in this world. I would bet my next paycheck that Correa ends the year with an OPS+ of 115 or better. Oh, and great/elite defense.
  10. Joe A. Preusser
    Dozier to the Dodgers, right?
  11. Joe A. Preusser
    I disagree completely. Buxton will definately have an opportunity to win an MVP award this year. Everything else sounds great.
  12. Joe A. Preusser
    I can't either, but it's crazy how teams are valuing prospects and cheap, affordable talent these days.
  13. Joe A. Preusser
    Question. If we were to trade #39 and nothing else, what would it get us? A late inning releiver? A mid-rotation starter? Or am I valuing too highly?
  14. Joe A. Preusser
    Seems to be a discrepency between Jeffers stat line and the posted .770 OPS. Awesome write-up, Thank You.

    Littell looked really good. Arreaz has looked really good. Adrianza has performed the worst, but he has been steady and solid. Astudillo's bat has been flagging for a while. But he continues to be an asset to the team. With Duffy's new veliocity and his usual awesome breaking balls, how could you possibly send him down? Gun to my head, I would choose Adrianza or Arraez, and probably Littell. I would not be happy about it. I suspect it will actually be Arraez and Littell. Good problem to have, GREAT problem to have, but this just plain sux.
  16. Joe A. Preusser
    Agreed on all counts for Keuchell. Also that reliever guy whos name escapes me because I haven't heard or read it in so long. Jimmy Kimbrell? Pass on him too.
  17. Joe A. Preusser
    Oh, I agree, there's definately a longevity component to "Star" status and MVP consideration. I only meant that if his slash line ends the year what it is now, and his counting stats continue to count, I would expect his name to figure prominantly in the MVP discussion. As to your point about Garver amd Polanco...I agree, and I would just say that sometimes it feels real, real good to have problems like that
  18. Joe A. Preusser
    If Buxton keeps this up all season he will absolutely be very much in the conversation for MVP.
  19. Joe A. Preusser
    I remember him having the flattest swing I had ever seen.
  20. Joe A. Preusser
    He certainly could. He has been a truly great hitter with the exception of the first half of of the year his grandfather died.
  21. Joe A. Preusser
    Houston's lineup is great, and Toronto's offense is aldo very good. He is throwing very well right now.
  22. Joe A. Preusser
    I said it in a game thread recently. Step on their throats. Take it. Demand it. Momentum is real. So is Confidence. Attitude. Swagger. I have been a Twins fan since '85. And I have loved every minute of it. But post '91, I can honestly say I didn't feel any of those words above myself, and I didn't feel my team did either...until this year. We are witnessing the beginning of something great.
  23. Joe A. Preusser
    Castro's OPS is awesome.
  24. Joe A. Preusser
    A strong Sano instead of MG and this might be the best offensiive lineup since...i have no idea when. I suppose one of the M&M/TH/Cuddy years.
  25. Joe A. Preusser
    I suspect many of us would say the exact same thing about JM.
