  1. You know, I thought that. Then I looked at him compared to other catchers, and his WAR. Now, he's ok in my brain.
  2. Only need about ten more runs....
  3. No idea if true, but very funny
  4. It's also why they can't trade them, they are too valuable to trade.....
  5. another member pointed me to this: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/232578752/pipeline-podcast-twins-have-no-1-draft-pick/ Lots of really good stuff, in an interview with the Twins.
  6. http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2017/05/30/jeb-bush-reportedly-no-longer-interested-in-buying-the-marlins/ shocker!
  7. Ugh. Sigh. bummer.
  8. Could certainly be hitting better, to force the FO's hands a bit more...
  9. In case you missed it, this is what the FO continues to think of the minors: http://twinsdaily.com/topic/26137-kam-mickolio-called-up-to-aaa-rochester/
  10. Erv, imo, should fetch at least one top 25-50, and 1-2 more good to very good prospects. Dozier? sigh. Santiago? Not sure I'd trade him right now, unless I got a top 100 prospect. He's worth more than a guy in the 200 range, imo. Especially with this roster.
  11. wow, that's mostly a sad list. but thanks for letting me know, it was a good(?) read.
  12. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/live-chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-5-30-17-2210.html Joel 3:23 Anyobody on the Twins "off-limits" if they decide to sell? (Assuming Sano & Berrios only) Steve Adams 3:23 They wouldn't trade Sano, Berrios, Buxton, Kepler, Polanco -- anyone they're controlling for 5+ years and also counting on to produce for them. Cory 3:26 As a Twins fan, can you add Nick Gordon to your other 5 of not tradeable? Or would you put him on the table potentially? Steve Adams 3:27 Yeah I'm sure they wouldn't trade Gordon either -- he fits under the same umbrella. Controllable, long-term piece. I just didn't list him since he's still a prospect while the others are on the roster. Doubt they'd send Fernando Romero, Tyler Jay, Stephen Gonsalves, etc. anywhere either. (at first I read this one incorrectly...) Zach Burdi 3:45 I am also a potential pitching prospect bound for a closing role. Steve Adams 3:45 Perhaps but not in 2017, I don't think. ChiSox have other good relievers they can plug into the ninth if they move Robertson (e.g. Kahnle, Jones if he's healthy). Twins' bullpen is a mess, and one of their young guys could get the role more easily as a result. joe 3:54 who is the future Ace for puerto rico in the WBC Jose Berrios or Jose De Leon Steve Adams 3:54 I'm bigger on Berrios than De Leon
  13. Fair, is it June yet? But, seriously, who is trading for Kyle Gibson right now?
  14. It's fair to hold the same opinion of De Leon, for sure. I just don't think this data (other than if you had some foreknowledge of his likeliness to be injured) tells us anything new yet. I won't revisit the trade/non trade here, since that's off topic.
  15. Super bummer. Hope he heals well.
  16. Good luck to him!
  17. I don't understand their love for him, but thanks for the updates!
  18. Exciting, for sure!
  19. this deserves it's own thread, imo.
  20. that has to be the conclusion at this point, doesn't it? They aren't big on him, and the others need more time (in their mind) before moving on up.
  21. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-tribes-mckenzie-mariners-motter-barnette-on-the-shuuto-sss-match-up-comps-more/ "MAY TIDBITS So far this season, Phil Hughes has 30 strikeouts in 47 innings, and Jordan Zimmermann has 31 strikeouts in 50-and-two-thirds innings. Over their careers, Hughes has 1,000 strikeouts in 1,251-and-two-thirds innings, and Zimmermann has 1,000 strikeouts in 1,250 career innings."
  22. He's not a prospect. He's not young. He isn't a Twins' draft pick. He has never been all that good. Sounds like an ideal Falvey/Levine RP to me. see the list....
  23. My guess is that analytics would show that signing guys over 35, who haven't pitched well in several years, is not a good strategy...just a guess.
  24. that one is amazing to me. "what kind of coke do you want?" took me a few times to get used to back in the day.
