    your right demand goes up, but supply goes up even more. Deadline is much further out and the alternatives are immense.
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    he certainly won't get tendered for next year, will he?
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    yep Gleeman predicted it last year. Something to the effect of "May has started his last game for the twins"
  4. Richie the Rally Goat
    i guess this is plausible. Do you REALLY think RA had a real shot at getting anything of value for Milone and that being a starter for those two days would have made a difference? Smells like something else happened. Less trade, more personnel/doghouse related
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    id be tempted to resign Zukes/Option E for one year, but man that's alotta eggs in one Garver basket with no real options behind him.
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    i don't think Plouffe would clear waivers. He would be a guy someone would claim in the hopes of making a low cost trade, assuming he would be non-tendered in the offseason anyways. A low voltage trade could get you 6-8 weeks of Plouffe and arbitration rights vs a crazy free agency price.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    probably, what team doesn't matter. The point is putting Suzuki on waivers has a very low probability for successful trade because of all of the things that the Twins can't control such as waiver priorities.
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    thanks for the quote. Anyone besides me baffled as to why Milone didn't go to the pen instead of Duffey to begin with?
  9. Richie the Rally Goat
    you are correct, a trade could be had with the team that claims him, but Atlanta could claim just to stop the trade from going forward assuming they will not come to a trade agreement and the Twins will revoke waivers. Suzuki would never be waived being he's at the end of his guaranteed contract. He's more valuable to play the game than for his roster spot to be taken up by who? Murphy?

    Suzuki isn't passing through waivers unclaimed which makes him most likely to bring a good return of players who are likely to be traded in the next 12 minutes

    thanks for pointing that out. I went to Minnesota grade school and college and choose to live in Wisconsin.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Duffey was in the pen for today's game. Molitor mentioned he would stay there for the time being. What's the corresponding roster move going to be tomorrow? Trade deadline deal for Abad/Milone/Nolasco? Send Duffey to triple A?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/jonathan-luroy-no-trade-indians-brewers.html Lucroy exercised his no trade. Suzuki could be a much cheaper fall back option
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Milone and Nolasco are as likely or more to get traded in August, when fresh injuries crop up but there are fewer trade options available to back fill.
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    i like your post on SBN. I agree with your moves for the most part. I think I would add to your development point that the organization needs some kind of prospect focus that moves those deemed prospects through the low minors faster so they can get more time in double A and triple A before being called up. Not sure if that's all on the GM or Brad Steil or if it's an additional duty or person.
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Zukes has been pretty durable, which helps his trade value. i would keep as many 40 man spots open as possible through August for trades and waiver claims.
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    the way to sell him on it is to sell him on the bottom line. Statisticians and player evaluators cost a fraction of the salary of a free agent. No team can afford to make the mistakes that the Twins have in the last few years. And if you want a profitable team, it needs to win.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    i wouldn't even go that far. Target field is a very new park and not selling enough tickets to be profitable. Someone needed to go and firing the manager didn't boost enough ticket sales.
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    do you really think starting the search two weeks before the trade deadline helps? If you are serious about interviewing outside the org, how many teams are going to allow AGMs to interview during the season?
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    correlation does not equal causation
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    thanks John. Appreciate the transparency. I kind of agree with the stance you took. I wouldn't have made the move Pohlad did, in that I wouldn't have told Ryan he was fired until the end of the season. I would have waited until the last day of the season to do anything, then I would have given him a chance to retire or be fired on the spot.
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    me too. The couple of times I've had the chance to chat John up at events have been great.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    yes, Pohlad has supported Ryan several times this season and inside the last month(I think) where it was already decided Ryan would go. Timing and how was up to Ryan, so Ryan was allowed to fire himself two weeks before the trade deadline.
