  1. Three elite closers.....I love the plan for the post season for sure. It is 100% the kind of thing the Twins should have been doing in the past (like 19 and 20.....and earlier).
  2. I'd call up every young guy that they think could start next year for 2-3 games. Get their feet wet. 100% they sign a guy like Pineda or better as a FA, imo. Unless they blow up the team. I also think we'll see a trade for a guy with 2+ years of control left. Ryan, Ober, Dobnak, Winder and Balazovic will all pitch for MN next year, but only 2 will start the year in MN, imo. I've been suggesting Means for a few weeks now. They have the depth to do that.
  3. They don't plan to blow a lead past inning 6!
  4. They dropped him from 55 to 50 on the scale....you are calling people arrogant and dumb, based on what?
  5. Everyone loves Buxton......The phillies would need to send like 8 guys to make this even possibly ok. Their system sucks. And then only if the Twins could deal those for other MLB players.
  6. Of course if they don't work out it will be bad....but man*, some posters here just hate the idea of trading even expiring contracts, yet somehow want the team to have a great team (not sure where they expect to get players, frankly). *not just men, but women, and not necessarily you.
  7. Moving him to 59 is hardly a major slight.......I'm guessing they talk to a lot of people....and they can't name names.
  8. The thought crossed my mind, but we are talking the Twins here..... I'm guessing a combo of Gordon and Polanco. Why not play Gordon there and see what happens. We already know what Polanco can do. Now, I don't think Gordon is an every day MLB SS.....imagine if they had taken Turner there. Sigh.
  9. 8 of the Twins top 10 prospects are in AA or AAA, according to FGs.....this isn't a tear down. Yet (hopefully not at all).
  10. And it isn't like 59th best prospect is bad......It is great.
  11. I'm betting Mets or Padres .....and about that spot....a guy rated 120-200 or so. 45 FV on the scout scale. Moving Simmons creates lots of questions of who plays SS this year.
  12. Well, SS can usually move to CF, LF, 3B, 2B, or stay at SS.......What would you expect to get for 1 player?
  13. Fangraphs is sliding Martin down to 59th on their list! We'll get a write up later today.....
  14. Please post more often! Great writing and great points.
  15. I hope they don't deal Maeda or Buxton....but Pineda is a fit there.......
  16. I think Martin is the sure* thing here, and the pitcher is riskier for sure.......Do they need pitching? Yes. But they also need hitters and fielders. *no player is a sure thing....
  17. Cruz was a FA.....why keep him? All these players were once prospects......
  18. But, but, he's the best! I think this shows his value according to MLB teams.......
  19. 7th or so? Fangraphs has him 11th before this deal. If they get a good prospect for Pineda, he might be as low as 14th there......
  20. He was a great player and seemingly teammate. He was 100x better than anyone could have expected for that draft slot. Good luck to him, he'll be missed.
