Twins Top 20 Trade Value Series: 6-10
DJL44 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Contract is improved = higher salary = lower trade value. Guys with NTC are typically going to return very little because they're being paid market value or will require they are paid market value as a condition of the trade.- 23 replies

Minnesota Veterans Making Front Office Look Great
DJL44 replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
An elite athlete can learn how to play 1B in about a month. I agree that being injured hasn't helped his play at 1B. He's also not as good of an athlete as many of his teammates.- 121 replies

Cody Christie’s Post-Draft Top 10 Minnesota Twins Prospects
DJL44 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Andrew Morris is 22 and pitching great in Double-A, doesn't get noticed. Marco Raya is 21 and pitching poorly in Double-A, gets all sorts of attention. In Double-A it doesn't matter anymore where you were drafted.- 27 replies

Twins Top 20 Trade Value Series: 6-10

Buxton has a no-trade so he doesn't belong on the list. Jax has a lot of trade value and definitely belongs on the list.- 23 replies

2024 MLB Draft Day 3 Thread
DJL44 replied to Jeremy Nygaard's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
He was overmatched in the Cape Cod League before his final college season. Sounds like he stepped up his game and improved his location his senior year. He went from being a "mid-week" guy to a "weekend" starter against some tough SEC competition. -

Can he hurry up and do it then? He's 26 years old. He's in the middle of his professional career, not the beginning.- 121 replies

If they put Eeles back in A-ball you will know they don't think he has a future with the MLB team.

Caleb Thielbar is the highest paid member of the bullpen and he had a really bad first half of the season.

If Eeles is the best infielder in AAA the rest of the way out, maybe. I can't see them wanting to add him to the 40 man roster.

Since you mentioned the All-Star Game production team at FOX sports... Why all the athlete interviews during the game? There were multiple batters who nobody saw because they cut away from the ACTUAL GAME for stupid interviews with athletes. I have a feeling FOX would rather skip the game entirely and show 3 hours of interviews with the players. Listening to an athlete spout cliches is so much better than watching an athlete do athletic things, right? Maybe the Twins can have Christian Vazquez host a lecture series this weekend instead of playing the games. It isn't just FOX who has this problem; NBC insisted on interviewing track stars at the Olympic trials immediately after their event ended which led to interviews like this: Interviewer: "How does it feel to win the race?" Athlete: "It feels <huff, puff, wheeze> good to win <huff, puff, wheeze> I worked <huff, puff, wheeze> really hard" Interviewer: "Are you going to try to win again at the Olympics?" Athlete: "Yes, I'm <huff, puff, wheeze> going to give <huff, puff, wheeze> it my best shot <huff, puff, wheeze> and hopefully <huff, puff, wheeze> things will work out. <vomits on the grass>"
