    Because Berríos is under control for 2022, the penalty in this case is incurred by the Twins, in my opinion. I'm sure I still have that data somewhere. I will find it and put it in a blog, and maybe update it. We'll see. My hypothesis was that truly promising prospects do not change hands from team to team. One player who stands out as an exception as I recall is Carlos Gonzalez and the great years he had in Colorado.
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Great. Prospects twice-traded do not fare well. I actually looked at this a couple years ago. There were a couple of exceptions of course and maybe something has changed since I looked or maybe this is “the one”

    A trade for low minors players wont be able to judge the trade for several more years well played, falvine. well played
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins could throw in Rickey Robinson! \n/ (Thats our fictional stolen base coach ; game thread inside joke)
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I’m happy for Caleb. He has generated a lot of whiffs this season and is probably our third or fourth best RP. If he is traded he would be low on the bullpen ladder of his new team (in other words, a low leverage guy).. nothing wrong with that, and he would be in a pennant race, so that would be fun.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Possibly for someone named 'Cash'?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    What about getting both Buxton and Berríos to sign something like 6/130 together? It could be like the Parise/Suter contracts all over again!

    I think statements like this are called “opinions” and not “inalienable truths” Pineda pitched well again tonight. Duffey seemed his usual shaky self. Colomé, as LaBombo put it in the game thread, is costing himself money on his next contract every time he pitches. I don’t know if there’s a coach on the Twins with the temperament to tell him that in no uncertain terms, but maybe there ought to be.

    I would also be curious about the counter proposal, as well as the incentives. A base offer of 7/73 is... ah i don’t know
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Duran should start 2022 in the Twins MLB bullpen, which should both help the Twins and also manage his innings in a more natural way than him trying to be a starter after two seasons of minimal innings. Clear out the 40-man. Carrying guys like Thorpe and Smeltzer has already cost the Twins opportunities for guys like Tyler Wells. And as usual they will have to sign the right free agents this offseason.

    There’s even an embedded video of Ryan striking out Sano in spring training.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Wouldn't that be nice? That would make the trade essentially Faucher for Ryan and Strotman.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Relief pitcher, he was pitching in AA Wichita and healthy. Also try this from 2019:

    It should also be noted that Pohlad unambiguously said, on the Inside Twins show a couple weeks ago, that yes the Twins could afford to sign/keep both Buxton and Berrios. Maybe the pandemic has put him in a reflective mind and given him a case of the "can't take it with you"
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Noted and recorded!
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think what we are looking for, is a statement from someone before Wheeler made his decision. Not an after-signing comment from a press conference where both parties say all kinds of things like "never a doubt" and "always wanted to play here". Given equal offers and recruitment efforts, it's more than likely and more than fair to think Wheeler would have signed with the Twins coming off a 100-win season, instead of the .500 Phillies. (with apologies to the poster above who requested we not fight these old battles here)
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That's how Donaldson and Cruz were signed, you realize?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Maybe Berríos can take some good lessons away from his catastrophic meltdown
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I heard this from Atteberry and Gladden after the game, as well, so you are not alone. "The Twins were building momentum coming off a game one win..." Didn't the Twins just get swept by Detroit?
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    More fun with numbers: It looks like the expected batting average (xBA) for Cabrera’s game winning hit was, literally, .000 https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?gamePk=633275
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    how quickly we forget Maeda
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pohlad said unequivocally on the Sunday Twins show that yes absolutely the Twins were in a position to extend or sign Berrios and Buxton and keep them around after 2022. @Tim @insagt1 My two cents: i think the painful decision would be trading one of Polanco or Arraez (though various posters here make a good case that Arraez might be suitable at third base). I think the painful painful painful decision would be to part with Larnach or Kirilloff for a solid controllable pitcher. What do people think of that?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I said nobody saw Ynoa's success coming, but for that price, obviously someone would have. Apologies to whoever out there was a Ynoa advocate! All I remember from that conversation on this board was how good it was to flip Garcia after one start the way we did. I stand corrected.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    How about trades not made? It would also be interesting to see what the conversation around trading Sano was in 2018. And I like Sano. He has given us some value and some moments, but if the ultimate goal is reaching the World Series, how much worse for wear would the Twins have been without him, three years on.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Romo gave us some good value and good innings. But this is what makes Huascar Ynoa such a great example, even though it’s still a bit early in the guy’s career. Various people have talked at various times about guys like Nick Anderson, Jake Reed, John Curtiss, and others, guys in the high minors, but with Ynoa, no one saw it coming. No one in Minnesota, anyway.
