COUSINS TRADE VALUE NEVER HIGHER
Hosken Bombo Disco replied to Parfigliano's topic in Minnesota Vikings Talk
No truer thread title ever existed, unfortunately. Cousins has really hit his stride after getting out from under Zimmer. Hope he has a complete recovery and we see him in the league again in 2024. -
I think it’s a stretch to say the whole league would love to have Kepler or that the Twins could trade him for a ton of value, but I get your point. Ultimately the front office needs to recognize that they have internal options that are more cost effective. If Kepler goes somewhere and leads his team to a World Series like Rosario did, well, then, good for him. 🙂
-
Verdugo has shown more consistency than Kepler and is three years younger. Kepler had a great second half but I think teams will be calling Boston before they call the Twins this offseason.
-
Then I think the Twins should trade Kepler to one of those teams, and receive quite a bit of value in return.

Then that would have to be a player option for Sonny, not a team option. I do agree with you that declining Kepler’s option and moving Wallner to right looks like an easy decision.

wonders will never cease, no. 🙂 winders, sands, balazovics will cease, tho..
-
Cousins showed some POISE on that pass
-
Is every NFL game like this now, with players writhing in pain every few plays? Hunger games out here. Now I remember why I am drifting away from football as I get older.
-
Wow you don’t often see Purdy make bad reads like that
-
Wow 4th down
-
San Fran’s offense,,, Hot knife, meet butter. Only takes one play, though
-
The first 3 quarters?
-
Yeah, you are right, I momentarily forget that would be the rule
-
Houston came home up 3 games to 2, and couldn’t finish it off
-
But at the two yard line? 🙂
-
As long as 12 noon Kirk shows up, we’ll be ok Garver just took a bean ball from Abreu, in the ribs of course
-
kickoffs are going to be banned here any year now
-
And then that
-
Cousins not looking too bad in the second half. The Vikes are manhandling a very good team here. Now Convert a TD
-
true, and a guy like Cook would open it up even more
-
Huge play by Addison! What the hell Cousins. Basically Cassel, Keenum, any other half decent QB can lead a 2-minute drive better than Cousins did there. yes very entertaining
-
Let’s say Correa was a free agent this offseason. Would people want to sign him going forward for 5/167?
-
the Twins did win the division by 9.0 games
-
Gray was great. I have no strong opinion on the trade to share, except that the model the Twins are using to acquire pitching is unsustainable, in my opinion. The Twins broke camp in 2023 with a starting rotation acquired wholly through trades. Would you rather have Lopez, Gray, Ryan, Mahle and Maeda, or would you rather have Graterol, Petty, Steer, CES, Hajjar, and Arraez? I think with the Lopez extension, and as long as he stays healthy, they come out ahead on that grand bargain. However, the presence of a pitching pipeline would have allowed for the Twins to keep some of those prospects and fill one more of those rotation pieces in-house. Sonny Gray was great and the Twins advanced to the division round once in his two years, and Chase Petty would be the Twins 3rd rated prospect behind Jenkins and Lee heading into 2024. Was that a bargain you would have made two years ago?

Thanks, Brock. I think this is a good idea, with caveats. I would worry about emotions subbing for content. Stuff like “Walkler Jenkins,is teh greatest p;ropect the Twins in like Forever!!1” Speaking for myself, I would probably go back to just Google to look for info, if I went to a player’s wiki page and ran into that. So that is over the top, but then there is the more subtle stuff, which I admit I can be guilty of doing. I have said some things in the discussion forums that maybe have not crossed the line, but that I would not want to say as a contributor to a wiki. The lesser known stuff would be fun to explore and have access to in one place, as long as it’s been previously published or broadcast or comes from a good source. There is a lot of stuff you hear on the radio that is hearsay, and borderline, but also super interesting (thinking of how certain players have spent their offseasons). So that gets sticky. Wikipedia requires sourcing and citations for the more obscure stuff. As a reader of a wiki page, I would want those sources. And I’m sure unfavorable personal stuff is off limits, unless maybe it’s been published already (thinking of Puckett). But I think it’s that lesser, obscure stuff you would want in order to differentiate yourself from the usual stuff or Wikipedia pages that already exist? Not sure want you have in mind exactly, but it’s got my interest. Keep us posted.
