    I hate it when you put in those terms as all hope get's crushed. I think you are right and that is likely why Duensing wasn't traded and doesn't come up in trade talks except on this board. Compared to the competition he just isn't much of an upgrade. All competing teams have 40 man issue's so getting prospects back that are not on the 40 man is going to be tough. Trading is harder than it looks.

    I like Brian but if they can get something meaningful for him then I would trade him. We have younger guys that appear ready to take on that role and we might as well bring up younger arms with the core group that is coming up. As beckmt mentioned there is no urgency to trade him. Only if a team was willing to overpay would I move him.

    I really like this article. I am a little low on Kohl I guess because of the strikeouts and lack of perceived dominance. You have allowed me to see Stewart's development in a more positive light. He was the number 4 draft choice in the first round so my expectations are higher than maybe they should be. He is doing well there is no question about that and he is young for his league. The question always will be does he have what it takes to be dominant. Reading your article I think he will get there.

    Love these articles. Keep them coming. I've been keeping an eye on him in the box scores and he always seems to have a hit or two. I hope he makes it.

    Nice article. Good information. Was wondering how he was doing. Kind of seems a bit like Berrios last year where his K numbers dropped and ERA was higher than we hoped it would be. I guess you have to learn to pitch somewhere. Might as well be A ball.

    That's some good stuff there.

    Nice article. I think the Twins did ok with this trade.

    I'm a believer and like the risk vs reward for the Twins. Most seem to think he will not improve much and obviously other teams had there concerns so they could be right. I just feel optimistic that he is going to pitch well this year.

    That is very interesting. Kinda shows what we already know. You can't necessarily buy wins. Your team has to come together regardless of payroll to win.

    I like Turner a lot and I think if he hits and can keep from getting injured he will be a perennial All-Star. As much as the Twins need a Shortstop they need pitching far worse. Pitchers fail at higher rate and their careers are typically shorter so we need a lot of them if we plan on getting better for the long haul. I think the Twins will go pitcher in the first two rounds for sure and they should even though they will miss out on the dreamy shortstop prospect.

    Very nice article and I agree that those players do not likely fit well into the teams long term plans and we need spots available to find out what we have for talent behind them. I also agree with Brandon though in that the Twins are in a position to be patient and try and to drive up the value of the players you mention. If that doesn't work out over time then I guess you desperately try to find a trading partner or let the player go. It's a tough job being a GM and coming out on top all the time.
