    all true, all of that. That said, McCullers was much higher rated, and they actually had to use their savings to sign him. the Twins didn't apparently need theirs. Let's hope it works out even close to what has happened for Houston. that would be very nice.

    I'm guessing one of two things (or both) are happening: the Yankees won't give up their best prospects for Gray, and are working the Twins as leverage the Yankees won't give up their best prospects for Gray, and are interested in Santana at a better price

    He's been great.

    Jermaine Palacios (Profile) Level: Hi-A Age: 21 Org Rank: HM Top 100: NR Line: 4-for-5, HR Notes Palacios flopped with Low-A Cedar Rapids last year and did not look comfortable at the plate, but hit .320/.362/.544 in 62 games there to start this year and has footwork has been better and he’s been pulling the ball more. He puts a charge into the baseball with just a flick of his wrist and is producing surprising power for his size. There’s some skepticism about his range at short but he has infield actions and a plus arm, and several orgs think a lack of range can largely be hidden by improved defensive positioning. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-727-and-728/

    Bryce Harper. and in the infield, Craig Biggio

    how so? Their manager said coming out of the ASB he wouldn't be full time. Maybe he's already changed his tune......but that's fine. Where will they play Kepler, and who thinks that's enough to get a great pitcher?
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I'd trade him either.....but it's not going to be easy to get very good SP w/o some other pain. Your suggestion is, what?
  8. Mike Sixel
    they won't even play Conforto full time, and they are going to trade for Kepler? edit: I've been corrected, despite what their manager said after the ASB, he is playing full time.
  9. Mike Sixel
    that's it, they are missing his mentorship!
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd do deGrom in a minute. If I thought Kepler or Rosario could play CF (or Granite). I agree, it would be an easier pill to swallow to trade Kepler, which, of course, means he's less valuable and it would cost more......
  11. Mike Sixel
    for those not trading Buxton for a SP.... the Twins have the 4th highest ERA in the game the Twins have the 3rd highest FIP, and 2nd highest xFIP the Twins have given up the 3rd most runs (earned or unearned) Santana is in his mid-30s. Berrios is probably good. Mejia is probably a 4. Gibson, Santiago, Colon, Garcia are not signed for next year. AAA has no starters the FO has trusted to call up. They have not promoted one starter from AA to AAA or the majors (for more than a spot start). OTOH, the Twins do have some OF options.
  12. Mike Sixel
    we agree on this, btw.
  13. Mike Sixel
    heh, I figured no one would see it here, then I posted it in the wrong thread, but people answered before I could move it. Not. Been. My . Best day. Here, or work.

    no chance Archer is traded, imo. they are 1 game out of the playoffs, why are the Rays doing that next year? I can't see the Mets doing it either, but I'd deal for either Archer or deGrom w/o even thinking.
  15. Mike Sixel
    well, it's really Buxton - new corner OF compared to Gray - colon, santiago, gibson, et. al. but fair! it's why I asked.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I can't imagine what Valencia does in the other 100+ games he's not playing at 1B. He's not good. I'm not super interested in a guy that can only play 1/3 of the games, max, who doesn't catch. He really ties up the 25 man.
  17. Mike Sixel
    as is the drop from Gray to colon or turley or wilk et al.....but fair answer!
  18. Mike Sixel
    Would you trade Buxton for Gray? The Twins have Rosario, Kepler, Grossman, Granite, Wade, and corner OF is "easy" to get in FA/trade later.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    the fact I don't know the answer, means it is not absurd either way. I think.
  20. Mike Sixel
    and I think that's a fair stance. They have enough data now, I am hoping they don't do nothing again this off season (in fairness, Castro isn't nothing, but that's a pretty small move, and really only good for 1-2 years probably).
  21. Mike Sixel
    that's true. Carlos has been much better than anyone predicted. Let's hope Lewis is as well.
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's not my job to fix the Twins. It's actually a logical fallacy to require me to do so. If people think there was zero opportunity to improve the Twins in the off season, they can think that. I refuse to believe that this FO could do nothing to help in 2018. I could be wrong, it might have literally been impossible. I hope we aren't reading it was literally impossible after the next off season also.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Is it? Would you trade him for Sonny Gray, knowing you have Rosario, Kepler, Granite, Wade, and corner OF are "easy" to find in FA? What about Straily and a minor league player (with parts thrown in on both sides), or Bundy? I agree, super, super, unlikely, and I posted hahahaha at the front, and he was answering what name would come out of the blue, but would you deal him for a SP?
  24. Mike Sixel
    hoju 10:37 Would a Jaime Garcia trade be the saddest and quickest white flag in memory? Jeff Sullivan 10:37 It's objectively sad and hilarious that the Twins are in this position, but in reality, their odds *have* gotten dramatically worse in the last few days. So it makes sense that their trading position would have changed http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-72817/

    Again, no one called for "a bunch" of top flight players. How about 1?
