  1. Get Robbie Ray from the Giants, he's available and they are willing to pick up some his salary.
  2. Shut out by the two worst pitching staffs in the AL in the last week. I don't think there should a sell off like last year but some trades for the future need to be done. If its a trade that also helps this year great, but don't mortgage the future for this year.
  3. About the least of this teams worries. They can always pinch hit for Kreidler if the situation calls for it. Bring Culpepper up in couple weeks if they think he is ready, or pick up a good utility player if they think another player that can play shortstop is necessary.
  4. Yankee prospects are always over hyped. The actual good ones don't get included in trades. The ones that do get included are almost always underachievers.
  5. Agree for the most part. If they trade I hope its to a National league team. Just in case he rediscovers his lost hit tool. If he does I can see him making the Twins life he_ _ every chance he gets.
  6. I don't think the Twins brass are being conservative with top prospects. The reason its taking them longer to get there is they are all repeatably hurt. If Lackey takes care of business and stays healthy, he will be up late 27 early 28.
  7. How exactly have the twins aggressively challenged Tait. He was in A+ ball when acquired and the Twins placed him in A+ ball where he still is. He is doing worse overall this year, so far. Which tells me the Twins are probably screwing him up like they seem to do so often.
  8. He's still only 20 years old. Don't know if it still holds but the consensuses wisdom used to be that left handed pitchers generally take longer to develop.
  9. For may of those years the Twins were the only team in the central really trying to compete. So winning a couple division titles was not a sign of success.
  10. Under Falvey pitching development was better. However position player development fell off a cliff.
  11. They've also proven you can't do it alone, which is why even a 99th percentile outcome for Jenkins (first-ballot Hall of Famer, like Mauer) would require others above him on this list to support the cause. Not to be picky but this statement makes no sense for someone ranked #1.
  12. This front office isn't going to sign anybody with more than 20 innings of MLB experience, and wont spend more the the minimum on them.
  13. Not sure if signing him is a good idea or not. There's not really a place for him to play other than DH. But didn't he play with a bad thumb last year? That could explain a lot of his struggles in 25.
