Of course it would....but the FO does not seem to agree. I'm no believer that Royce will ever be healthy....Hope to be wrong.
-
Gallo in center! Looking for offense......

Keith Law's post-draft top-60 Prospects, is high on Twins
Mike Sixel replied to Steve Lein's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
And people here say the farm is barren..... Given that only ten qualified guys are hitting .300....yes, Lee hitting .300 with even his current power would make him a star.- 29 replies

Soto has agreed, yes.

Joe Ryan is the Twins' Most Valuable Trade Asset
Mike Sixel replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Saying he's currently their most valuable player isn't the same as saying trade him......- 56 replies

How does he "force his way up" if Lewis, CC, Polanco, and Julien are on the roster? Also, they Twins haven't IL'd Buxton yet....why do so many people in this thread think they suddenly will?
-
I think you missed your sarcasm check....
-
I'm not trading Varland right now. They have all of three starters signed for next year...... I'd deal SWR and I was/am a believer, he's still barely old enough to drink. I don't know about either of those guys being all that interesting. Neither has the upside I'd want if trading for someone frankly.
-
Can only play the guys he's given, and CC needs a day off occasionally. I doubt he's alone in deciding Buck is the DH....They have 2 DFA / Backups starting in the OF, plus Kepler (who is hot right now, but been awful most of the year). That's three positions plus Buxton.....leaving not much room for the other 5 hitters.

I'm not sure if that lineup could score against Chief. There were what, three legit MLB hitters playing and two of those are largely unproven (AK and Wallner)?

I think you need to adjust your requirements.....10 qualified players are hitting over .300 right now.
-
I can't imagine Arraez is undervalued.....his lack of slugging means that they only way he scores is two hits (or a HR) by his teammates.
-
When wRC+ is right there, there is no reason to use OPS.....
-
BTW, this is my not loving how the TWins love veterans. Balazovich and maybe Sands are better than Lopez right now....heck, Winder is probably better. This is just like the OF situation....
-
If you think he isn't trying, we can't agree on this at all. Seriously. You think he's not trying?
-
Did he just hit three guys? Yikes.
-
No one is buying tickets to see Buxton right now. No one.
-
It was, and might still be, a good risk. Sometimes the right thing doesn't work out.
-
Well, that win streak was nice, and short. Just cannot field this lineup and expect to win. Jeffers needs to play 2/3 games. Buxton needs to go the IL. Gallo needs to be DFA for Wallner or Kepler or AK. Call up Prato to play third. Promote Lee to AAA to play SS / 3B / 2B. I think they need to trade for a SS (that can move to CF) or a CF. They don't have one for this year or next year.....so a prospect (Polanco should be able to bring one back that is in AA).
-
Most likely, yes.
-
Gotta go on IL until he can play the field.
-
Buxton has to go on the IL.....seriously. Ugh. Also, I'm done with Gallo.....
-
That's a lot of hush money....wow.
-
Julien sat in AAA this year while Polanco played.....
-
Your main point likely stands. Gray will be valued on the FA market, and will get 2-3 years at 20MM plus per year, imo.
