    Vargas was sent down because he can't play the field and they have too many DH on the roster.
  2. DJL44
    Joe Mauer is Ted Simmons but with a better glove. Ted Simmons should be in the Hall.
  3. DJL44
    The Twins ruin prospects two ways They promote them too slowly and the player stagnates OR they rush them too quickly and the player is overwhelmed. No matter how the Twins promote prospects they are always clearly wrong in hindsight.
  4. DJL44
    Highest upside arm in the system could be Lewis Thorpe. People are excited about Romero, but Thorpe was better before surgery than Fernando.
  5. DJL44
    Look at how they have handled Nick Gordon for a template.
  6. DJL44
    Look at Tommy Milone's results in AAA this year. If you're lefthanded and know how to pitch you can get away with mediocre stuff.
  7. DJL44
    Send down Vargas, bring him back up when they can find someone to trade for Plouffe.

    A lefty who is good out of the stretch would make an excellent reliever even if he isn't great in the rotation.
  10. DJL44
    Yes, you have to be careful getting too excited about stats in Elizabethton. Look at Pat Dean's 2010 line for example.
  11. DJL44
    Seems to me everything is cool if you eliminate the TV advertisements.
  12. DJL44
    100% agree here. He comes in very advanced as a hitter and I worry about ceiling and defense more than I do about his ability to hit at this level. Compare to Delmon Young who didn't have any trouble hitting but also never really improved after age 22.
  13. DJL44
    Molitor's seat just got a lot hotter
  14. DJL44
    I wonder the reason for the move. I don't think they lack confidence that Terry Ryan can make a decent deadline trade. I think they lack confidence that he will make enough trades (fire sale).
  15. DJL44
    I think the more relevant question for Blankenhorn is whether he can handle 2B. There were questions whether he could stick at 3B. At 1B or LF he will have to really hit to impress.
  16. DJL44
    I will be surprised if Walker has a better career than Mike Restovich.
  17. DJL44
    I think AAA reliever is probably Wimmers' proper role.
  18. DJL44
    At some point it will be too late to trade Santana. His effectiveness will decline with age. This is similar to Josh Willingham. Trade him now before he's untradeable. This is a seller's market and the Twins have an asset that multiple teams want.
  19. DJL44
    A 50-100 prospect who pitches plus some sweetener like a decent international bonus slot or an A-ball reliever with a live fastball would probably get me to bite. I think the Twins will have the luxury of multiple bidders driving up the price on Ervin Santana. They could do very well.
  20. DJL44
    Granite would not get selected. If selected he would likely be returned.
  21. DJL44
    Adds: Mitch Garver, Stuart Turner, Daniel Palka, Fernando Romero, Lewis Thorpe, Felix Jorge Possible: Jason Wheeler, Zack Jones
  22. DJL44
    I hope the Twins keep Nunez to mentor Sano and Polanco. I doubt they get much in return for trading him since he will be a pending free agent next season.
  23. DJL44
    JT Chargois looks good but he wouldn't have been the #15 pick in this year's draft.
  24. DJL44
    Vielma needs to play multiple positions. His potential future in MLB is as a glove-first futility infielder.
  25. DJL44
    My guess would be Palka has trouble with the curve but can hit a fastball if he knows it is coming.
