  1. Did they really need their 3rd best prospect? Yes, yes they did. On top of another prospect, and a number 3 / 2 SP? Yes. There are no aces available.
  2. Fangraphs rates their new SS as the Twins' 3rd best prospect! Wow. This is a great trade for MN. They are flush with 2B, and if Kiriloff is hurt, they have options at first / DH. They added a number 3, who could be better after running out of gas last year. I get that people like watching Arraez, but this is a great trade.
  3. Two of those had power, and one stole bases..... Two of those were elite defenders. It isn't close.
  4. Which ace do you think is getting traded right now? I can't think of one.
  5. You must not follow them at all to think Keith Law has group think....
  6. Truth. They just replaced a year of Bundy with a year of Lopez, and got a very good prospect and a lottery ticket? I can't believe they got a number 3 pitcher, a top prospect and another young guy in return.
  7. He's one of the few I'd keep
  8. I'm actually leaning blow it up, outside about five players on offense.
  9. I just want a much more aggressive system.
  10. No projection system is an absolute. Where do you get that?
  11. You said they should trade their starting pitchers, even if they are in first. If they are in first, it is likely those pitchers are doing well..... But you insist if they don't trade them, that says sometime about their replacements, not them.
  12. Based on the players they have doing well? Mind. Boggling. If the pitchers they have are doing well, you want them traded, or you'll assume their replacements are bad because they didn't trade players doing well?
  13. If they are leading the division, they aren't selling. Not this year. Not after last year's collapse.
  14. He has the two years when two or three of grey, Mahle ; and Maeda are gone though. I truly think they have to aim higher than Lopez, or for a guy that might be better but with more years left.
  15. Lopez has two years, that's the issue for me in that deal. I wouldn't be angry if they did it, I just would disagree. But it's likely fair, given the injury risk.
  16. Fair. It's why I don't want to give up a ton for two years of him
  17. On what planet would Lopez be our 4th best pitcher?
  18. That's a fair take. Even if I'm ok with just enjoying the ride, I used to feel your way.
  19. Sano had several coaches.... Jeffers doesn't have may at bats and was hurt. Sanchez is a long term veteran. I have no idea how you draw any conclusions from those three.
  20. "Just extend him." If only it were that easy.
  21. There is certainly room for improvement on offense. But being 31st in the league on defense should have serious consequences for that group of coaches and players. Either create the best offense ever and score forty per game, or fix the defense to near average, which probably isn't enough, but might be.
  22. Archer and Bundy were there two worst starters last year. Vazquez is a huge step up at catcher. They start the year with Duran at closer, not the dumpster fire like last year. This team is much better than the start of last year. And, given everyone is healthy, is much better than the end of last year. The odds they have to play their 6th, 7th, and 8th OFers all at the same time for a month this year are quite low.....
  23. I meant with Lewis..... But even without him that seems like a lot for two years of control.
