  1. Why take it at the deadline, if not now? And how do you know that? And fine, if you won't trade for a top 10ish pitching prospect, that is MLB ready, out of fear, you aren't making many trades. And, KLAW loves upside. Other sites have him ranked higher.
  2. If your argument, over and over, is that JDL can't be good because they were willing to trade him, what does that make Brian Dozier? What does that make Chris Sale? What does that make any of the pitching prospects ever traded in the history of MLB?
  3. If they turned down Stewart and JDL, well, I don't know what to say, other than, it's going to be a very long road to respectability, let alone WS titles.
  4. I'm suggesting they have failed for the last 5 years to rebuild this team with any speed at all, compared to the Cubs and Astros, and probably the Phillies and Braves.
  5. long view....they just won the WS in how many years he's been on the job? I recall people telling me I was insane for saying the Cubs were ahead of the Twins in the rebuild, and the Astros.......anyone disagree now?
  6. If you won't trade for top 10 prospects out of fear, you won't make many trades....
  7. Bad teams refuse to trade Perkins, Dozier, ESan, et. al......
  8. How so? They won 59 last year, even if you think they were really a 65 win team, do you actually expect them to win 80+ this year? Dozier is signed for 2 more years, I'd bet a lot of money that this coming year is not a playoff year.....so what is Dozier really worth, in context of the overall team?
  9. Nick Gordon is number 53 on KLAW's list: "can really, really hit" "tools allow him to be an average big leaguer, but....will allow him to be more"
  10. Nick Gordon is number 53 on KLAW's list: "can really, really hit" "tools allow him to be an average big leaguer, but....will allow him to be more"
  11. I don't see Portland, Oregon on that list..... I'm glad they do this, people seem to like it.
  12. Oh, I agree, imo, with this much losing, they should be higher than they are. They've largely failed to trade veterans well, and they don't seem to have gotten really LUCKY with a pick lately. And, Sano, Polanco, and Kepler have nothing to do with the losing, they came in int'l FA......
  13. Today, the FG prospect guy said he has a flat FB like Berrios......
  14. I'll take that bet, that someone overpays this summer. Assuming over pay is well more than a top 40-60 prospect.....like, that and another prospect in the top 100, which seems to be the price everyone here expects is fair...
  15. Gordon will be in the top 60.....he doesn't project to hit as well as Kiriloff, but he will, according to KLAW in the past, play SS and hit.....so I wouldn't be that scared of that part.
  16. is there any other reason anyone watches Underworld every time it is on?
  17. They haven't been signing FAs or trading prospects for a couple years, I have suggested them on Fangraphs and here, and most respond that A: they aren't competing this year maybe; B: they are acting differently now. but, I agree, they are a legit candidate when Castro struggles, and if they are in the race.
  18. Ya, not a fan of those lists....but occasionally I comment on a particular woman.
  19. Kevin 2:58 How do you feel about Alex Kirilloff and Fernando Romero? I think they will be studs respectfully Eric A Longenhagen 2:58 I really like Kirilloff, think there's a chance Romero is a reliever.
  20. Are there people arguing this hasn't been a disappointing off season so far? Just curious.
  21. I assume the owners will need to lower their beer budget going forward......what with the lack of reasons to come here...
  22. as for songs....the remake list is LONG, and often better...... two I really like are Satisfaction by Devo, and working in a coal mine, by Devo..... I'd pay money for an album that had 10 different styles of Satisfaction.....
  23. I could have typed dudes......agreed.
  24. David 1:58 Where do you see Dozier going now/at the deadline? Giants? Cardinals? Nats? Mets? Does any "likely" team have a prospect package that entices the Twins? Eric A Longenhagen 1:58 I think Minnesota waits for someone to get hurt so they can leverage that club. Of course, if Dozier starts slow....
