  1. Well, they learned, and dealt Pressley this year......just hoping Gibson (and really, the team) don't do the same thing next year....
  2. heh, no, that was all about Dozier and his "appreciation" of the FO and their moves.
  3. I just Buxton and Gordon were part of that moving on this year......but neither looks like a MLB hitter right now. Hopefully next year. Motter or Petit or Forsythe staying on the team?
  4. I'm not sour graping at all......I just don't find it funny. Some of what people thought they'd get for these guys, otoh..... Actually, I think they had a good deadline, but I would have probably kept Dozier at that price. IF, however, there are clubhouse reasons for the move, then I'm more ok with it.
  5. I had no issues with pinch hitting at that spot, and I'm a development first guy. I just hope Byron gets healthy again. Then hits some again. For his sake more than ours.
  6. They spend a lot on SS in the IFA market....heck, they just traded for more budget, and signed the number 9 ranked guy.......
  7. Pinch hit for in a AAA game. Sigh. but Stewart, he's going to pitch in the majors.
  8. No one else will be traded. IMO. And, continue to count me as a Garver believer.
  9. Much bigger fan of the pitcher than hitter, though who knows....they could get lucky.
  10. If they think he's a catcher, absolutely (though I'm not in the QO is good club).
  11. Not sure what this means. I'm sure they are discussing other things.....but if someone wanted Duke, and you could get anything? I'd probably do that.
  12. Move DeJong to relief! He'll never be a starter here, given the minors here
  13. They aren't trading him for less than what I'm typing, imo......so that's the price. I don't think they deal part of next year (a key part) for less than that. I could be wrong.....but I could be right. I doubt we won't find out in the next 24 hours....
  14. Not one top 100 guy? I, hmmm, I don't even know how to respond to that. I'd be shocked if he returned less than 2, or one high one and two more guys near the top 100. Shocked.
  15. Certainly need a top 30 type, and another in the top 100, and then another high upside guy. Need A LOT to trade Gibson at this point.
  16. I don't know how smart Molitor is......and I hope you are right that he'd do that. given how he handles the team, I don't have as much confidence as you.
  17. Where and how often, are both Sano and Escobar in the lineup going forward (if Esco was here)? Who is Molitor benching to get them both on the field at the same time? Polanco? Mauer? Morrison (we could only hope)? Dozier? I do agree with others, Sano is still down if this doesn't happen, and it is possible (likely) that for this year, Esobar is better (wow, that sucks). I do agree on the RP trade, but I'd call that a pretty soft sell so far.....maybe they should call up May to replace him. Or pitch Mejia in relief. Or Odorizzi?
  18. Agreed, big delta there. I'm still not convinced they sold this year, it's all about Sano now (well, in re the Escobar trade).
  19. I know I'd move more starters in the minors to the bullpen faster than this org has......Taylor Rodgers being an obvious recent example. That's an area I'd have liked to see explored more earlier this year. IF the manager would, you know, let them pitch. And, imo, Cave should have been up sooner too, but they finally got that one right (not that he's great, but he's better than Grossman, if you include defense, and maybe even just offense). Trevor May should be here, in MN, as a RP right now. One of the new prospects they got could be a RP in a year or two, but he's much further away as a starter, from what I read.
  20. given my opinion of all those players, except Dozier.....it might not bad for this year.....
  21. I agree with that first sentence in teh last paragraph. But, the ONLY thing I didn't want was fence straddling, though.
