    I might have but I would expected a higher return than I would have for Steer. Lewis was always the long-term answer at 3B. Trading BOTH Miranda and Steer is defensible.
  2. DJL44
    I hope so, because he's worth the comp pick AND their shot at the playoffs to the Twins. You have to give up a lot to get me to give up my shot at winning the division.
  3. DJL44
    This is not true at all. Correa has been basically slap-hitting lately and Joey Gallo slapped a dribbler to the 3B gap for his single.

    If you want to sign Hader after this season you don't have to give up anything but money. You're trading for the next 3 months of Hader, about 30 innings of pitching. What happens in the offseason is irrelevant to his trade value.
  5. DJL44
    They can't give away offense at LF, CF, RF and 3B and have an effective lineup.
  6. DJL44
    Jose Miranda continues to be 0 for his callup. Losing Royce Lewis has been a huge setback for the Twins. I wonder if Jeffers at C last night instead of Vazquez would have been a better move to get a little more offense in the lineup. Willi Castro cannot be their "RH bat" solution in the outfield. He has the same 697 OPS from each side of the plate. There are lots of outfielders who can do better than that. He's a defense-first player, not the #5 hitter.

    Duran has trouble locating his pitches. He's more of a "thrower" than a "pitcher" and gets by because his stuff is just nasty. If he was able to locate his pitches better he'd be much better. He'd be like Bautista of the Orioles.

    Against an All-Star throwing 100 MPH gas with nasty breaking stuff.
  9. DJL44
    I don't want Correa bunting in that situation. He hit into the double play but I thought people here would be giddy that he didn't strike out.
  10. DJL44
    I do

    There is the option of buying tickets and attending in person today. Should be a terrific night for a ballgame.

    I also want to know which one of you old farts here is his father.
  13. DJL44
    I have never been so tempted to change my username.

    I'm grilling brats tonight and taking advantage of a rare chance to watch the game on TV. If you want to watch the game bring something to share.

    Nobody in this draft should play the "under slot" game until pick #6.
  16. DJL44
    That trade has the Mets sending out 3 players making $26M. The Mets are paying the penalty so they actually cost them at least $9M more than that. Gallo doesn't have to end up with the Mets but he needs to go somewhere else if the Twins are adding that much payroll.
  17. DJL44
    Okay, but adding Canha, Robertson and Raley could help. Send out Gallo, Ronny Henriquez, and an A-ball pitcher like Lewis, Culpepper, Nowlin or Hidalgo
  18. DJL44
    Schobel is the new Spencer Steer. Enlow's best shot at the big leagues is in the bullpen.
  19. DJL44
    There is no joy in Hopkins because the Twins are striking out.
  20. DJL44
    I think the Mets are a good fit. They have RH batting outfielders (Pham and Canha) and relievers (Robertson and Raley). They would probably take Gallo in return to make the money work.
  21. DJL44
    The Twins are sending Sonny Gray to the All-Star game but he might be their 3rd best starting pitcher.
  22. DJL44
    How much time did you spend practicing defense every day? By not playing CF they are having Buxton avoid that time he spent practicing defense every day. He might be healthy enough to play CF for the length of a game but they would want him to practice defense every day in preparation for that. He's not healthy enough to spend the time every day practicing defense in CF.
  23. DJL44
    FTFY

    We're all tired of hearing people ask the same question over and over and not listening to the answer.
  25. DJL44
    I could argue that Julien was a "Sabato" - an all-bat player who looked great as a sophomore. Same with Wallner. Encarnacion-Strand was definitely a "Sabato" type player. They can't stop taking power bats just because one didn't pan out. Same with toolsy high school players like Cavaco. There isn't a chance to draft Brooks Lee every year.
