  1. He's one of the 5 best options in the rotation and would be one of the 5 best options for most major league teams.
  2. It would not be a shock to see the Twins acquire pitching at the trade deadline.
  3. Quintana pitched the best few months of his entire career because the Cardinals can make lemonade out of any lemon. Odorizzi was bad. Syndergaard was mediocre. They all cost less than Mahle but they were also impending free agents. The lesson is to buy cheap vets at the deadline because needing to improve the top end of your rotation means you probably aren't a contender.
  4. Interesting. Only interested in Flaming Lips though so I'm out at those prices.
  5. If I was leading the league in ERA I would also want to go through free agency.
  6. If this is one of the worst trades in the history of the franchise they have been blessed with exceedingly good luck.
  7. That makes no sense for Gray. He'd be leaving $50M on the table.
  8. Will Kirilloff play 5 days a week for the Twins? They have plenty of other options at the positions Alex plays. He could easily play 3-4 days a week without figuring in the injury.
  9. Get the best talent is the only priority. If they need to adjust their roster they should do it by trade. Never reach to fill an organizational need.
  10. Mark Contreras is a good benchmark for how well a prospect needs to hit to get promoted. Nobody think Contreras will hit well enough at the MLB level to contribute so Kirilloff and Julien probably need to perform better than Contreras if they want to force a promotion.
  11. An injury means the can call up a player without waiting the full time.
  12. I agree with that, but Ober has been better. They are a better team with Ober in the rotation and Maeda in the bullpen than with Maeda in the rotation and Ober in AAA.
  13. I'm guessing they option Moran and bring up Winder next. Stewart isn't a long reliever but he's been piling up strikeouts as a short reliever.
  14. I'm not either but I also think he's not likely to get a whole lot better. He's sort of useful but unlikely to be a high leverage guy.
  15. Pitching like this he's likely 4 year $100M+ in the offseason. Enjoy this year, give him the QO and get the draft pick. He's been fantastic so far, a clear All-Star candidate.
  16. He pitched 5 innings, 6 innings, then got hit in the foot by a line drive after 2 innings. I don't see this statement backed up by any evidence.
  17. I don't. I think Lewis is a better baseball player and the Twins are a better team with Lewis at 3B long term instead of Miranda. Do I want Michael Taylor to fail if I think the Twins are better off with Buxton in CF? Miranda's biggest problem at the moment is his lack of power. Just 2 extra base hits in 96 plate appearances. He's better than that. The batting average and walks are not a big surprise, just slightly below expectations. He's only 2 hits below last season's rate for AVG/OBP. In two weeks he will have played one season's worth of games in the big leagues. Then you can start to project based on that larger sample of work.
  18. Patiently waiting for Royce Lewis to take his job.
  19. Nope. 25th, almost the same as Seattle and better than the Dodgers, A's, Padres, Tigers and Royals.
  20. I read he needs four root canals next week so probably a little while longer.
  21. This could be the worst attended weekend series of the season. Weather looks awful.
  22. RE: Not stealing due to the injury risk - at some point you need to use the players to play baseball.
