    Without listing specific players, both traded and received, it was alot of dead weight for dead weight.
  2. Hubie29
    Good points. And don't forget, if you are the Twins organization, you need at least 16 guys making 1 mil or less.
  3. Hubie29
    Maybe we can get another Alex Jackson type. A backup position player that hits under .200. Alex Jackson can sing a mean national anthem though. He is on tape for our high school games.
  4. Hubie29
    And then you wonder why apathy is rampant in Twins town when a deal like this is considered a short term fix.
  5. Hubie29
    The main point is he is expected to be the backup to Jeffers. Not only underwhelming but a complete joke.
  6. Hubie29
    I'm sure he will be a "piece". Question is a piece of what?
  7. Hubie29
    Lee, Miller, Cavaco, Gordon, Michael, etc. etc. Lewis just ok, jury still out on Houston and Culpepper. Could have had some franchise players if gone another route. But with our draft history prob unlikely.
  8. Hubie29
    I loved his hit back in the '80's called Rhythm of the Night. Quite a performer.
  9. Hubie29
    But can he spit and chew gum like Rocco?
  10. Hubie29
    Crap

    I am more into contact hitter than a home run every 10 -15 AB. Steer actually hit only one less HR than Wallner and struck out less. That's all. Neither one is a hall of famer. Just tired of Wallners ineptness. Only reason he has a higher OPS is the occasional HR. Not a Wallner fan. Sorry.
  12. Hubie29
    Point taken. But this team finds it very hard to improve through trades. Lateral moves or trades for the "future" seem to be the norm. I would just rather have Steer in the lineup than Wallner. Nothing more nothing less.
  13. Hubie29
    Thanks for schooling me! I do appreciate it! And I didn't say build around anyone did I? I just prefer Steer over Wallner. But then almost anyone over Wallner.
  14. Hubie29
    You have your reasons for liking Wallner i have mine for not. You can cherry pick stats to support your claim and I could do the same. I found 5+where Steer is the better hitter. It's not worth arguing about. Steer is a better fit for this team as i see it. More of a contact hitter and I will take that any day over a chronic strike out hitter. Steer can match the occasional home run Wallner runs into. Enjoy your day!
  15. Hubie29
    He fills a need whereas Wallner fills nothing. Stats are close enough to warrant the trade. Cincy would never do it.
  16. Hubie29
    Uffda! Looking at this list pretty much explains the Twins futility, because it's typical of many years of drafts. Wouldn't it be nice to trade one marginal player on this list for one that got away? Wallner for Steer. We would then have our 1st baseman.
  17. Hubie29
    I would like some experience with the new hire. But how much experience will Falvey allow? Experience usually comes with new ideas and plans. Falvey has his own ideas and plans. Servais would be an ok hire if that's the only guy with experience. I just don't want to go down the Baldelli route again for the next five years.
  18. Hubie29
    In the term "designated hitter" is the word "hitter" which Wallner is clearly not. If he could do something other than hit .200 with meaningless power once in awhile, then he would be slightly more valuable. He is another Joey Gallo as has been pointed out a few times here.
  19. Hubie29
    Louie! Typical result
  20. Hubie29
    Disagree. In fact, the Twins would have to add someone with Ryan to pry away Mc Lean. I agree with an earlier poster, the Mets would never trade Mc Lean for Ryan.
  21. Hubie29
    I would take McLean straight up. You know the Mets aren't going to include him with other prospects.
  22. Hubie29
    Have to keep him by process of elimination. We have nothing else. He will fit right in with the other numbers we fill the bullpen with. In other words, he is serviceable, nothing special.
  23. Hubie29
    To credit him for Buxtons season is laughable. Then he gets credit for Outman, Wallner, Lewis and all of them.
  24. Hubie29
    Yes he was. At least the 1A problem.
  25. Hubie29
    Oh good. Another shortstop.
