  1. break the bank, in FA? 1. there aren't many great FA available. 2. you have to outbid the other teams for those few pitchers (if any)
  2. so, don't trade for a good SP? Where do you expect to get good SP for the next 3 years while Sano is here?
  3. We must be reading very different sites, because I haven't seen anyone say he's moving off SS anytime soon in over a year.
  4. Given what other teams gave up for unproven draft pick QBs, we'll just disagree that was an overpay...but your point is valid. If the Twins won't trade for or sign legit SP, this team is doomed to mediocrity.
  5. people are awfully down on De Leon pretty fast. His numbers in AAA dwarf what any AA pitcher the Twins have is doing.
  6. Good FA pitchers will get around 14-16 per year, minimum, this off season. More like 20MM per year if they are as good as him. Maybe more.
  7. I'll take that bet right now. He's a legit SS starter next year, and for the next 5-10. You, sir, are very incorrect about Gordon's time table.
  8. They couldn't deal Dozier the entire off season. So, why could they now?
  9. how do you propose they get pitching next year, or the year after, if not in trades?
  10. Agreed, but it has to be for a controllable pitcher. And no, Gordon alone isn't enough to get that.....
  11. Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. Lewis will not be a SS. As for Gordon, you need to get a legit starter controlled for at least three more years, or I am not interested. He will be at least a league average SS for s long time.
  12. FWIW: Tye: Would someone like Stroman, Gray, or Archer be a reasonable get for the Twins? Keith Law: It makes absolutely no sense for the Twins to trade prospects for major-league help right now.
  13. The roster is filled with nice players, but it takes elite players (and lots of nice players) to be champions. It's hard to see any elite players other than Sano and maybe Berrios right now. It's very nice to have no gaping holes, but that's not enough, most likely, to win in the playoffs. Buxton could be elite if he hits close to league average. And learns how to steal more/more efficiently.
  14. I don't see much of anything interesting happening in terms of trades this season. Nothing interesting happened in FA or trades in the offseason, and I don't know what is really all that different now. They are about 5 games ahead of what most here projected they'd be, that's in the margin of error for sure. The hitters and pitchers have all been about what you'd expect, except maybe Dozier is worse and Kintzler and ESan a bit better. I'm not sure what's different now, than 4 months ago that would indicate movement is afoot.
  15. This would appear to make it less likely they promote anyone from AA soon.
  16. I don't think service clocks are a big issue for pitchers. And if you never act out of fear, you never act.
  17. For three days? Also, Garver won't play every day next year either. And it's not like either of them is young. So, no, for a few days, it doesn't matter to their development.
  18. Bring unready, if true, is inexcusable. I really hope that their scouting and prep work is better than that. And, being able to pinch hit with granite or Garver would have been nicer than having that many pitchers.
  19. Hoping to have some funds available next week
  20. Why would they trade for a mediocre rental hitter right now? That makes no sense to me.
  21. that part makes it really hard for sure.
